The torch relay for China's 15th National Games commenced at 9 a.m. on Sunday at Shenzhen's iconic Lianhuashan Park, marking the countdown to one of the country's most anticipated multi-sport events. Hundreds of spectators gathered as the flame began its journey through the tech hub, symbolizing unity and athletic spirit ahead of the Games' opening ceremony.
Organizers emphasized the event's role in promoting regional cooperation, with the relay route spanning key cities across the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao. The Games, scheduled to feature over 40 sports, aim to showcase China's sporting talent while fostering cultural exchanges between participating regions.
This year's theme, "Shared Dreams, Dynamic Future," aligns with broader efforts to integrate sports with technological innovation – a nod to Shenzhen's status as China's Silicon Valley. Business analysts note the Games' potential to boost tourism and cross-regional investment opportunities, particularly in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area infrastructure projects.
