The Sichuan HKJC Olympic School in Dujiangyan, Sichuan province, recently opened with a grand ceremony.
Covering 86,000 square meters, the school has been built with a donation of 135 million yuan ($21 million) from the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC).
The new school is equipped with facilities for basketball, volleyball, soccer, table tennis, badminton, tennis, wrestling, judo, taekwondo, martial arts, and track and field.
It's also open to residents of Dujiangyan and nearly 5,000 students of the nearby Dujiangyan Middle School, says Xu Fuyi, mayor of Dujiangyan.
According to Liu Jie, vice-governor of Sichuan, the school is one of the seven post-Wenchuan earthquake reconstruction projects aided by HKJC. Five have been completed, and two others will be finished in September.
