Stunning performances blending traditional culture with cutting-edge technologies lit up the closing ceremony of China's 15th National Games in Shenzhen City, south China's Guangdong Province, on Friday evening. The ceremony, which commenced at 20:00 local time, culminated in a solemn yet joyous farewell as Wang Huning, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, officially declared the Games close. Following a flag-lowering ceremony, the iconic cauldron flame was gently extinguished to the beautiful strains of cellos, marking the end of an unforgettable sporting chapter. The gala performance, staged on a luminous water stage framed by Shenzhen's radiant cityscape, consisted of six chapters, artfully weaving together the rich tapestry of Lingnan culture and local intangible cultural heritage with cutting-edge technologies developed by companies in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Among the most mesmerizing moments were dancers moving in perfect harmony with robots, underscoring the region’s leadership in China’s technological advancement. A vibrant montage of athletic prowess followed, showcasing the energy of skateboarding, the grace of artistic swimming, and the thunderous power of dragon boat racing. The gala performance concluded with a newly composed song, "Welcome to the Greater Bay Area Frequently," embodying the Games' slogan: "Passionate National Games, Dynamic Greater Bay Area."
