The opening ceremony for the 2022 Asian Para Games held on 22 October 2023, at the Hangzhou Sports Park Stadium in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
The ceremony began at 7:30 PM China Standard Time (UTC+8).
It was originally planned to open at 8 pm, but considering the temperature factors and the need to end as early as possible to allow athletes to rest, it was eventually held half an hour earlier.
It was attended by Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang, some Asian foreign leaders, APC President Majid Rashed and the President of the International Paralympic Committee, Andrew Parsons.
The opening ceremony was themed "Hearts Meet, Dreams Shine" and lasted about 85 minutes.
