The World Leisure Games 2015 is due to be held from Sept 12 to 21 in Laixi, a county-level city of Qingdao, under the theme of "In Leisure, In Nature".
The games' Q-shaped emblem was inspired by the initial letter of the host city, Qingdao. It resembles a dancer but could also be interpreted as a blooming camellia, the flower of Qingdao, with five petals around Laxi Lake, portraying the city's residents and its spirit. The colors of the petals reflect those of Qingdao's scenery, with red for tiles, green for trees, blue for sky and dark blue for the ocean.
Laixi, a county-level city of Qingdao, aims to use the World Leisure Games 2015 in September to boost its urbanization and environmental protection.
