As the Paris 2024 Olympics approaches, the Phryges mascots and other Olympic-themed installations were recently set up at Tamar Park in Admiralty, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Local residents and tourists have been drawn to these Olympic elements, posing for photos with them.

The Phryges, inspired by the traditional French Phrygian cap, is a symbol of freedom and has been a part of French history for centuries. The design reflects the rich historical and cultural heritage of France. 

The Paris 2024 Olympics is scheduled to be held from July 26 to August 11. Thirty-five Hong Kong athletes will compete in 13 sporting events across France this summer at the Olympic Games.
