HONG KONG, Nov. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On November 2, the torch relay for the 15th National Games, of the People’s Republic of China was launched simultaneously in four cities: Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen.

At the Hong Kong torch relay ceremony, Feng Xingya, Chairman and President of GAC Group, successfully completed the torch relay as the 8th torchbearer.
