The torch relay for the 12th National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities was held on Nov 17 in Sanya, where 107 torchbearers from various sectors completed the event in a "sea-land-air" relay method.

Starting from Sanya Bay Haihong Square, the torch relay concluded at Sanya Serenity Marina.

Along the route, Sanya’s yachting, low-altitude and coastal resort tourism formats were all showcased. They emphasized Hainan's rich historical and cultural heritage, beautiful coastal natural scenery and outstanding achievements in the economic and social development of free trade port construction.

Among the 107 on-site torchbearers were not only outstanding individuals from various industries across the country, but also many frontline grassroots workers, including "Great Nation Craftsman" Zhou Hao, national models of ethnic unity and progress like Wang Zhenfu, public security models like Fu Xiaohua, outstanding CPC members like Wang Bin and rural craftsman master teacher Ji Julian.

As the 107th torchbearer, Huang Lizhu lit the cauldron, marking the torch relay closing ceremony concluded.

On Nov 22, the main torch will be lit at the opening ceremony of this year's games and the ethnic sports event, which began in 1953, will showcase its unique charms once again.
