Congcong, Chenchen and Lianlian, the three mascots of the Hangzhou Asian Games, held a 3-year birthday party at the KFC Asian-Games-themed restaurant in Binjiang district, Hangzhou on April 3.

Zhang Wen, known as the "father of the mascots", designed a special Congcong statue with his team in which the mascot is playing a guitar.

Staff members and mascot Qiqi from KFC performed a cute dance to celebrate the mascots' third birthday. They also prepared a birthday cake, which was decorated in KFC’s classic red and white colors.

KFC is the exclusive western-style catering service provider of the Hangzhou Asian Games. The KFC Asian-Games-themed restaurant opened in December 2022 on Xingguang Avenue in Binjiang. The mascots made an appearance on the opening day alongside the official Asian Games ambassador of Yum China.
