A special exhibition of licensed merchandise for the 15th National Games has been set up at the Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport since the Spring Festival holiday season.

The showcase featured a variety of products, including items adorned with the event's mascots, "Xi Yangyang" and "Le Rongrong", which are inspired by the Chinese white dolphin, a first-class protected animal in China. These cheerful and lively characters embody the spirit of the Games and reflect the ecological and cultural richness of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
