The 24th Beijing Winter Olympics will begin on 4th February, 2022. The Winter Paralympics will begin a month later. Let’s meet the mascots!
I’m Bing Dwen Dwen. I’m the mascot of the 2022 Winter Olympics. I am a black and white panda wearing a full-body “shell” made of ice. The red heart shape in my left palm means welcoming the friends from other countries. The bright colours of the circles around my face stand for ice and snow sport tracks, meaning connectivity and advanced technologies. I look like an astronaut, making full use of new technologies for a future with all kinds of possibilities. 
Shuey Rhon Rhon is here! I’m the mascot of the 2022 Winter Paralympics. What do you think of when you see me? Does a red lantern come into your mind? That’s what I look like. Take a look at my head. There are paper cuttings of doves. They make up a circle. Follow me. I’ll light the way to the Paralympics.
