Why Choose Zhongshan Pin?

Olympic pins are a type of souvenir created for the Olympics, typically released by the host country, participating teams, sponsors, and related organizations. The culture of trading pins is also an important part of the Olympics, with many foreign athletes eager to trade for pins from the Chinese team.

Several foreign athletes have shared videos showing off the Chinese team’s pins they received, proudly saying, “Everyone wants a Chinese team pin!” and “It’s so cute! I’m going to protect it!” Others exclaimed, “Their pin is one of the best!”

These Chinese team pins originate from Zhongshan, Guangdong. They are widely designed with elements of traditional Chinese symbols like dragons, phoenixes, and pandas, expressing good wishes and positive sentiments.

Why did the Chinese delegation choose to have their pins made in Zhongshan?

In China, Yiwu has long been synonymous with mass production and low prices, particularly in the small gifts industry. However, the Chinese delegation didn’t choose to produce their pins in Yiwu.

In the metal crafts industry, the main manufacturing hubs are Zhongshan and Yiwu. There’s a distinct difference between the two: Yiwu is generally associated with Cheap, while Zhongshan is known for its emphasis on High Quality.

As the Chinese delegation represents the face of the nation, they naturally require pins of the highest quality. This is why they opted to have their pins produced in Zhongshan, where craftsmanship and quality are prioritized.
