This year, Wutong’s forests are more than just a scenic backdrop – they’re hosting the marathon event for the Chinese mainland’s 15th National Games. It’s a cool fusion of sports energy and serene greenery, showing off how the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is leveling up cross-region sports ties. 🤝
