The mascots of China's National Games, "Xiyangyang" and "Lerongrong," have taken the internet by storm with their lovable designs and lively personalities.
Inspired by the Chinese white dolphin, the mascots have been affectionately nicknamed "Greater Bay Chickens" by netizens due to their beak-like mouths that resemble a chicken's. Their rounded shapes and pink-and-white color scheme further remind locals of beloved Cantonese dishes like white-cut chicken and soy sauce chicken. Given the cultural significance of chicken in Cantonese cuisine, people across the Greater Bay Area have embraced the nickname with enthusiasm.
