There was a month left before the Asian Games would begin. The national team was the first to arrive in the host city, Xingkou.
The benefit of being the host city was that the athletes were already acclimated to the environment, especially the natural feeling and climate.
Each place had its own way of supporting its civilians. In ancient times, when medical conditions were undeveloped, many people who traveled long distances might die in foreign places. During that time, one had to risk their life to travel to other provinces.
As for athletes traveling for competitions, the most important thing was to adjust themselves to the new environment. Once one arrived at a new place, they would need to get acclimated to the climate, temperature, time difference, food, accommodations, etc. Athletes had to get used to the new environment and get comfortable as soon as possible so that they could perform better in their competitions.
