Local resident Zhang Zhonghua, strongly recommended a variety of Yueyang cuisine when welcoming the participants from around the country. "Today is the first time I see Yueyang hosting sailing-related competitions, and I hope that more such sports activities can be organized, so that more people know the good of Yueyang. One must taste the lake delicacy in Yueyang."

The event's planning team provided a variety of thrilling performances and interacting games for the attending families at the "Sailor's Night" at the conclusion of the opening day.
