Nanjing is famous for its Yuhua stones, which lie on the bed of the Yangtze River and are slowly polished smooth by action of the water. Known as “rain flower stones”, these alluring, translucent pebbles come in shades of red, pink, yellow, white and green.
Following a nationwide competition, the stones were selected to create the symbol of the Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games in the shape of a character by the name of NanjingLELE.
NanjingLELE wears the colour red as a sign of enthusiasm, while blue signifies kindness and selflessness; yellow symbolises motivation and initiative whilst green adheres to vitality and peace-loving spirit.
