🎉 This week in November 2025, Macao residents are embracing the excitement of China's 15th National Games as the city co-hosts the historic tri-regional event alongside Guangdong Province in the Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
From community races at the Tap Seac Sports Complex to traditional dragon dance performances along Senado Square, locals have turned every corner of the city into a celebration of sport and culture. Fans are cheering on team relays while sampling festive snacks at colorful pop-up stalls.
For young entrepreneurs and startups, the Games have become a platform to showcase homegrown talent. University crews are presenting eco-friendly sports gear, digital training apps, and innovative wellness solutions. "Seeing Macao’s energy in action is pure inspiration," says a local tech student volunteering at the venue.
Cultural exchange is at the heart of this festival. Delegations from Guangdong and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region are joining Macanese cooking workshops, traditional music jam sessions, and youth forums on sports diplomacy. These activities are forging friendships that go beyond medals.
With over 50 disciplines on display—from track and field to wushu and cycling—there’s something for every sports fan. As the closing ceremonies approach, Macao is gearing up for a grand finale full of light shows, musical performances, and unity cheers that promise to light up the city.
Travelers and culture seekers, take note: this November, Macao’s streets are the place to be. Dive into the festivities, taste local specialties, and witness history in the making at the first-ever tri-regional National Games!
