A three-dimensional image of the 19th Asian Games mascots, visible without the need for special glasses, made an appearance on the streets of Hangzhou, conjuring up a mesmerizing and eye-catching scene.
The mascots are a group of robots that embody the rich cultural heritage of Hangzhou combined with a touch of contemporary vitality. They are collectively named "Jiangnan Yi," or "Memories of Jiangnan," a concept inspired by a famous line written by Tang Dynasty (618-907) poet Bai Juyi. "Recalling Jiangnan, my fondest memories are of Hangzhou," reads the translation. These mascots represent the historical and cultural richness of the city, its diverse natural ecology, and its innovative spirit.
