Incorporating elements of sports, the event is set to serve as a prelude to the 15th National Games, set to take place in November this year.

The layout of the stalls resembles a running track, and the archway is creatively designed in the shape of a "sports ribbon", echoing the architectural style of the Guangdong Olympic Sports Center. An exhibition is scheduled to showcase the stories of Tianhe's participation in various sporting events, such as the sixth National Games and the Guangzhou Asian Games, emphasizing the district's vibrant sports culture and spirit.
