Guangzhou: After mesmerising the audience with a unique opening ceremony at the Haixinsha Island, the Asian Games organisers are planning to give the participating athletes a fitting send off with a two-hour closing ceremony at the same venue here tomorrow. There will be an Indian touch to the closing with Mumbai-based playback singer Ravi K Tripathi performing at the ceremony. Asian pop star and actor Rain (Jung Ji-Hoon) will also render three songs. Eight songs have been picked for the ceremony, representing the eastern, western, southern, northern and central parts of the continent, said music director Bian Liunian. "Combined with Chinese songs, they will become an integrated performance. We want to show that it is time for Asia, it is the sky of Asia, those are songs of Asia," he explained.
