Dhaka, Aug. 9 -- The 12th World Games burst onto the global stage on Thursday night with an opening ceremony that artfully married host city Chengdu's rich cultural legacy with stunning firework displays, as State Councilor Shen Yiqin declared the event open before global audiences.
Dazzling fireworks lit up the sky at moments throughout the opening ceremony, amplifying the energy and excitement of the spectacle. The pyrotechnics incorporated meaningful symbols, including a luminous rainbow bridge arching across the night, ancient Chinese seal characters for "Chengdu" - replicating inscriptions first found on a bronze weapon dating back over 2,000 years - and 12 floral fireworks symbolizing all the host cities of The World Games.
