“NI HAO,” the quintessential Chinese greeting, reflects the spirit of friendliness, politeness, and openness in Chinese culture. Its simplicity carries deep cultural meaning, making it a universal symbol that connects people in any context.
As a globally recognized expression, “NI HAO” bridges China and the world, offering a warm and meaningful introduction to Chinese culture.
In our design, the “calabash”, a traditional symbol of blessings and fortune, is reimagined throughout the space. Simplified into the shape of “8,” it represents both prosperity and “∞” – infinite possibilities.
