A shopper examines a mascot toy at an official merchandise store in Shenzhen Book City, Futian District, which sells products for the upcoming 15th National Games, the 12th National Games for Persons With Disabilities, and the 9th National Special Olympic Games. The 15th National Games will take place from Nov. 9 to 21 in 19 cities across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The mascots, named “Xiyangyang” and “Lerongrong,” symbolize joy, harmony, and unity. They are inspired by the Chinese white dolphin, a nationally protected species. The 100-day countdown to the main games begins this Friday. |
