SIP has so far pulled off a great success in forming the "Sports & Leisure Life Circle", a project that started in 2017 to build public sports facilities and improve related services so that the local residents can have more options to enjoy their leisure time in a happy and health-promoting way.

Currently, SIP boasts 297 morning and evening exercise sites in 143 communities, over 140 footpaths, and a large number of public workout facilities and those in schools open to the public. 

Among the most popular is Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre, a 60-ha open-space ecological sports park with a natatorium, a gymnasium and a stadium for swimming, badminton, squash, climbing, tennis and football enthusiasts. 

The 50-kilometer lakeside cycling track in Yangcheng Lake Peninsula Tourist Resort is also a good option. With beautiful sceneries and integrated tourist services all the way through, it has won the favor of many cycling professionals and enthusiasts.

Additionally, Jinji Lakeshore Footpath, with a length of 14 kilometers, is one of the most-visited destinations. Equipped with benches, signboards and other service facilities, it offers walkers wonderful outdoor experiences.
