On the morning of October 16, sunlight shimmered on the rippling waters of Jiulong Lake Square in the China-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City. Crowds gathered in excitement as the torch and flame of the Guangzhou Division of the 15th National Games and National Para Games were unveiled in a vibrant promotional event.




Between the towering silhouette of the Knowledge Tower and the scenic beauty of Jiulong Lake, three flame guards marched forward with steady steps, carrying the flame with unwavering focus. The dancing fire symbolized the inheritance of the sporting spirit and the vitality of life itself, earning rounds of applause from the audience.



To welcome the torch and the flame, Huangpu District organized a series of interactive flash performances blending tradition and modernity. Tai Chi performances showcased the harmony between strength and grace, young lion dancers brought vibrant cultural heritage to life, and dynamic displays of running and cycling highlighted the city's contemporary energy.
