Mascots

The mascots of the 9th Asian Winter Games — Siberian tigers "Binbin" and "Nini" — symbolize an in-depth exploration and shaping of the unique natural and cultural heritage of the country's Northeast: Siberian tiger culture.

"The archetypes of Binbin and Nini are two cute little Siberian tigers born in September 2023 at the Siberian Tiger Park in Harbin," said Zhang Qixiang, vice-governor of Heilongjiang province.
