The National Aquatics Center in Beijing hosted various activities and illuminated its iconic blue light last weekend to mark the 17th World Autism Awareness Day, urging the public to "respect differences and re-ignite hope" for autistic individuals and their families.

This marked the 14th time the dual-Olympic venue has co-organized the "Light It Up Blue" charity event.
