On top of celebrating the Games, the display also honours the outstanding talent of local artists, featuring iconic characters and illustrations across the decades that have become an integral part of the city’s culture. Make sure to look out for Old Master Q playing billiards, Miss 13 Dots figure skating, and of course, Bruce Lee hitting some karate poses. Enjoy the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbor while taking snaps with these characters in different sports styles. 

In addition, there is also an AR interactive platform set up online with a 360-degree view of the characters, allowing you to experience the diverse world of animated characters in a new and unique way. Visit the AniCom Sports Park website for more information about each of the characters.
