About China Youth National Games
China Youth National Games is a national multi-sport event held every 4 years for Chinese young athletes. It was first held in 1988 as the China City Games and was given the current name from 2015 onward to gear to the newly launched Youth Olympic Games. The aim of the Games is to prepare the younger generations to move forward and promote sports development in China. Over the years, the Games has been a stage where the future stars shine.
