Torch for 15th National Games unveiled
The unveiling ceremony in South China's Shenzhen also showcased the official victory ceremony music, podium attire and medals for the Paralympic Games.
The victory ceremony music, which will be played during medal presentations, incorporates elements of the famous Lingnan melody "Color Clouds Chasing the Moon".
The podium attire, primarily pink, is a modern take on the mamianqun, or the horse-faced skirt, a distinctive Hanfu style known for its high, flat front and pleated sides.
A highlight of the design is a single peony embroidered on the skirt, inspired by Yue embroidery, one of China's four great embroidery styles.
The "United Warmth" medals for the Paralympic Games were also revealed.
The 15th National Games of China will be jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao from Nov 9 to 21. The 12th National Paralympic Games, along with the 9th National Special Olympics will be held about two weeks after the 15th National Games.
