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.
