Slogan, mascots, emblem for 9th Asian Winter Games unveiled

The official slogan, emblem, and mascots for the 9th Asian Winter Games were unveiled on Thursday in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. The 9th Asian Winter Games is set to take place in the city in 2025.　

The emblem, named "Breakthrough," the mascots, named "Binbin" and "Nini," and the slogan, "Dream of Winter, Love among Asia," will serve as official symbols of this grand sports event.　

The slogan connects Asian countries with the ice and snow sector. The emblem combines the figure of a short-track speed skater, a lilac flower, which is the city flower of Harbin, and the sun icon of the Olympic Council of Asia.　

The mascots are based on two adorable young Siberian tigers born at the Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin in September 2023, which means "Harbin welcomes you."
