This vividly demonstrated the firm determination and open - minded attitude of the national sports authority and the top Olympic partners in jointly promoting the development of mass sports.
As one of the core highlights of this celebration, the cultural bazaar has become a popular attraction for citizens with its unique immersive experience. On Mengniu's elaborately - decorated themed booth, a wide variety of high - quality dairy products are not only the technological crystallization of Mengniu's efforts to support the "Healthy China" initiative but also an energy source for consumers to supplement nutrition and maintain a "vigorous physique".
