Who Is Your Favorite Beijing 2008 Official Olympic Mascot?
31 July, 2008 – 9:55 amBeiBei, JingJing, HuanHuan, YingYing or NiNi?
Children around the world are just going crazy over these five Chinese kids, I tell you. Of course, it helps that they are so cute, in their native Chinese animal costumes and the Olympic flame, the big brother, HuanHuan.
If you do not know what each child mascot represents, here you go:
BeiBei is a Fish, JingJing is Panda, YingYing is a Tibetan Antelope and NiNi is a Swallow. Like I mentioned, HuanHuan in the middle is the Olympic Flame. And the cute thing is that they are all in Olympic colors!
Although I am not a kid, I still find these mascots so cute. I have been following the Olympics for many years and I think that this time, the mascots are most memorable. Their names collectively mean “Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni” or “Beijing Welcomes You”! The host for the next Olympic Games will have a tough time topping this!
My personal favorite among these five Olympic mascots would be HuanHuan the Olympic Flame. Perhaps it is because red is the most striking color. JingJing the panda bear is cute too and could be easily relatable to all things Chinese. It really is so difficult to choose ONE favorite. What is yours?

jingjing is my favourite because the panda is the one animal that embodies china. when you say panda, china immediately comes to mind. i’m sure this will be the most successful olympics ever. i do hope the smog levels do not worsen as it’s the only thing that could spoil the olympics which is beyond the control of the organisers.
