How cute are the Fuwa mascots for the 2008 Beijing Olympics?
Did you know that all of their names put together mean "Welcome to Beijing!"
I guess if you were lucky enough to go to the Beijing Olympic Games, then you probably heard people say "Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni!" to you when you arrived!
What a cute bunch! Here are the Fuwa as 'Teddy Bears'
Here they are, all together. Showing their cuteness to the world!
See for yourself how cute they are!
Beibei
Beibei's fishlike attributes are more apparent when she is participating in swimming and diving than when she is on land (check out the pictures of the pins on the right below).
Such a pretty blue... I think my favourite is the sailing pin.
Jingjing
I love pandas, those cute little bamboo eaters! On the archery pin he looks more like he's getting involved in an old wild west re-enactment. Perhaps the circling wagons could form up the Olympic rings?
Huanhuan
My favourite is the Equestrian pin, but I'm not sure what the ASPCA will say when they see a flame riding a horse... Ouch! Now those are some saddle sores!
Yingying
My favourite Yingying pin is the tennis one. He's going to smash that ball all the way back to Tibet!
Nini
Judging from the pins below, it looks like Nini's favourite is volleyball! I wonder if she prefers playing it at the beach or on a court...

The pin set is a great collector's item!
