With just about a week until the 19th Asian Games kick off in Hangzhou, the Main Media Center (MMC) officially began operations on Monday.

Situated near the main stadium of the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, the venue for the Games' opening ceremony, the MMC spans an expansive area of nearly 50,000 square meters. This space is segmented into various sections, including the Main Press Center (MPC) and the International Broadcasting Center (IBC).
