China's 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and ninth National Special Olympic Games concluded on Monday in the Greater Bay Area.

It's the first time for the two Games to be co-hosted by three regions, Guangdong Province, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) and Macao SAR.

Held from December 8 to 15, the Games featured 46 sports, with a total of 7,824 athletes from 34 delegations. A total of 15 world records and 156 national records were broken in the competitions.

"Behind the 279 medals awarded in the Macao SAR, there is a portrayal of the spirit of disabled athletes surpassing themselves, as well as a witness to the beautiful vision of people supporting each other and moving forward hand in hand," said Pun Weng Kun, head of the Macao SAR's Coordination Office.

China's 13th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 10th National Special Olympic Games will be hosted by Hunan Province in 2029.
