The flame lighting ceremony for China's 15th National Games, 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and 9th National Special Olympic Games was held in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, on Thursday, with one month to go before the opening of the National Games.

Representatives from the three hosts - Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao - raised their ceremonial torches to simultaneously light the official cauldron.

The "source flame" was extracted and ignited from combustible ice lying over 1,500 meters beneath the surface of the South China Sea in September.

China's 15th National Games will be held from November 9 to 21, while the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th National Special Olympic Games will take place from December 8 to 15.
