Ever spotted a dancing dolphin on the streets of Hong Kong? 🐬 Earlier this month, the Chinese mainland's 15th National Games rolled out its official mascots—Xiyangyang and Lerongrong—and they've been winning hearts across the city!
Inspired by the rare Chinese white dolphin, these two animated cuties made their debut at the opening ceremony on November 9. With their smooth fins, bright eyes, and friendly waves, Xiyangyang and Lerongrong bring marine magic to land, reminding us how art and nature can swim together in perfect harmony.
In malls, train stations, and online feeds, residents of Hong Kong are snapping selfies, sharing GIFs, and tagging friends with #Xiyangyang and #Lerongrong. 📸❤️ From local influencers to weekend explorers, everyone’s joining the wave of dolphin fever!
Beyond being super Instagrammable, the mascots spark talks about marine conservation and community spirit. Their playful vibes echo the spirit of our generation—fun, aware, and always ready to make a splash for a good cause.
Whether you’re in Kuala Lumpur grabbing teh tarik or chilling in Manila with halo-halo, these mascots prove that cute design and cultural pride can unite us across borders. 🌏💙 Stay tuned for more mascot adventures—town hall events and pop-up meetups might just be around the bend!
