China pulled off another dazzling show within two years of the Beijing Olympics as it unveiled the 16th Asian Games(November 12 – 27, 2010) with a spell-binding and unique opening ceremony which had water as the overwhelming theme.

The skies over the southern city lit up with spectacular fireworks as Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao declared the Games open amid thunderous cheers from a capacity crowd.

The major part of the ceremony was held at Hai Xinsha, an island located on Pearl River, the third longest river in China which is the life-giver to the southern part of the world’s most populous nation.

The ceremony set the stage for 14 days of competitions in which over 10,0000 athletes from 45 countries would vie for the top honours.
