More excitement came GAGOC’s way on April 7, when one of Japan’s major broadcasters, TV Asahi, interviewed GAGOC executives about the current status of the Games Venues. Director of the Venues and Overlays Department, Peng Gaofeng, was only too happy to accept the interview.


After the interview, Peng and Luo Guangzhai, Director of the Guangzhou Major Public Construction Projects Office, took TV Asahi staff on a tour of the building site of Asian Games Town (AGT), one of the biggest infrastructure projects being built for the Games. Executives from the Projects Office took turns explaining various aspects of the Asian Games Town's construction, and their current status. The whole event was covered by the city’s own Guangdong TV.
