A new arena for the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games was unveiled on Tuesday. As one of the main venues for swimming and diving for the coming big event, the so called "Water Cube" competition complex is to be launched inside the Guangdong Olympic Center in the city's Tianhe district.

The blue-and-white "Water Cube" looks like DNA double helix and symbolizes Guangzhou's famous Baiyun Mountain and Pearl River. The project is expected to commence in the first half of 2008.

Another competition field to break ground at the same time with the Water Cube is the venue for Wushu (martial art) and Dancing. This Chinese Tai Chi-shaped new venue is the best way to express the Chinese Wushu spirit.
