The mascot design is based on a legend about five immortals who took five rams to Guangzhou, each holding an ear of corn in its mouth. There, the immortals prayed for an end to famine, then flew into the sky as the five rams turned into fossils. The official theme song was released on September 30, 2010, known as "Reunion" (in Chinese "Chongfeng") was composed by Wu Liqun and lyrics written by Xu Rongkai, while the English version was translated by Chen Ning Yang, a Chinese-American physicist and his wife Weng Fan.
On April 19, 2009, organisers chose Haixinsha Island, along with Pearl River as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies, the only venue which not serve as purpose for competition.
