Olympic swimmer Yu Yiting, hailing from Changshan county, returned to her hometown of Quzhou on Aug 25 and received a warm welcome from residents.

At Wenchang Pavilion, Yu joined locals in watching a city promotional video and learning about Changshan's latest cultural and creative products.

Yu expressed her delight at seeing the changes in her hometown each time she returned. During her visit, she plans to explore various spots in Changshan with her family and enjoy the region's distinct spicy flavors.

Yu also visited the Kuangyu Qiyuan Resort, which features a 50-meter standard swimming pool where young swimmers from the Quzhou and Changshan swim teams train. Yu shared her training experiences and offered advice to the children by the poolside.

"I want to train hard and be like Yu Yiting, representing Changshan and China at the Olympics," said Wu Xinnan, a young swimmer who has been training with the county team for three years.

In the Paris Olympics, Yu Yiting won two bronze medals with her teammates in the Women's 4x100m Freestyle Relay and the Women's 4x100m Medley Relay. She also secured a 4th place finish in the Women's 200m Individual Medley.
