Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law on Saturday said that official merchandise for Hong Kong's participation in this year's National Games will uniquely blend the spirit of the event with iconic elements of the city.
Hong Kong is set to co-host the Games for the first time in November alongside Guangdong and Macau.
Speaking at the launch ceremony for the Hong Kong competition region's official franchised products, Law emphasised the local character of the merchandise.
"These products embody the spirit of the Games while incorporating elements like the scenery of Victoria Harbour, city landmarks and local cuisine, showcasing the unique charm of the Hong Kong competition region," she said.
The merchandise, featuring the National Games mascots "Xiyangyang" and "Lerongrong" alongside Hong Kong-specific imagery such as Tai O and the Star Ferry, will go on sale starting Monday.
Law said initial purchase locations include the Kai Tak Mall, West Kowloon Station and Wan Chai Immigration Tower.
"In the future, we will gradually expand to more locations across Hong Kong for the convenience of citizens and tourists. The licensed merchandise retailers will also introduce products from the Guangdong competition zone for sale in Hong Kong," she said.
Product offerings range from plush toys and pins to cups and other commemorative items.
Regarding the Games themselves, Law said that preparations were progressing smoothly, and she encouraged the public to support the SAR delegation during the competition.

Economy main focus at Hong Kong leader's meetings with advisers ahead of policy address
Hong Kong's leader held meetings with his advisers, including a mainland Chinese economist and two tech experts from a Hangzhou start-up known as 'Six Little Dragons', ahead of his annual policy blueprint to gauge views on how to maintain the city's status amid growing geopolitical tensions. The John Lee Ka-chiu-led lunch meetings took place between Wednesday and Friday, marking the first official gathering of the Chief Executive's Council of Advisers, following the appointments of Han Bicheng, CEO of BrainCo, which specialises in brain-machine interfaces, Wang Xingxing, founder and CEO of humanoid robot maker Unitree Robotics, and Zhu Min, ex-deputy director of the International Monetary Fund. The government said on Saturday that the council conducted in-depth discussions under three major themes – economy, technology, and regional and global ties – for Lee's fourth policy address scheduled for September and the city's overall development. Regarding the economic advancement and sustainability, the council exchanged views on how to consolidate Hong Kong's position as an international financial, shipping and trade centre amid geopolitical changes and economic restructuring. They also discussed ways to speed up the development of the Northern Metropolis, and proactively attract capital and talent to drive innovation and technology growth in Hong Kong. The Northern Metropolis blueprint aims to turn 30,000 hectares (74,132 acres) of land into a new engine for economic growth with a population of about 2.5 million and around 650,000 jobs. The regional and global collaboration discussion focused on leveraging the national development to strengthen ties with countries along the Belt and Road, while also exploring emerging markets, such as the Middle East, Asean, South America, and Central Asia, for new business opportunities.
