Games souvenirs fostering friendships

As the thrilling competitions of the 12th World Games in Chengdu, Sichuan province, captivate global audiences, its official licensed merchandise has also gained popularity for facilitating cultural exchanges and fostering friendships.

From blind boxes and dolls to pins and fridge magnets, creative products designed around the games' logo, torch and mascots are bridging cultures and creating lasting memories for visitors from home and abroad.

The mascots, Shu Bao and Jin Zai, draw inspiration from two rare animals found in Sichuan — the giant panda and the golden snub-nosed monkey, respectively.
