Hangzhou Asian Games licensed products made in SZ

A highlight of the opening ceremony of the 19th Asian Games, which took place at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium on Saturday, was the moment when swimming Olympic champion Wang Shun and a digital torchbearer jointly lit the cauldron, attracting wide attention.

After the opening ceremony, the Hangzhou Games cauldron-shaped licensed souvenirs went on sale. Modeled after the Qianjiang River tide, the cauldron is designed to embody the spirit of being courageous and enterprising. The souvenirs are being made by a Shenzhen manufacturer, so let’s take a look at the production line through the reporter’s lens.
