In August, Baiyun held four test events – dryland curling, trampoline, wheelchair basketball, and canoe slalom – to ensure smooth operations during the Games. These activities evaluated organizational skills and venue management, while also enhancing the surrounding environment and increasing public enthusiasm for fitness.

Baiyun has launched a "Follow the Games to Travel" campaign, encouraging spectators and visitors to experience the top-tier competitions alongside local sights and cuisine.

With the first batch of tickets now available, Baiyun is prepared in its optimal state to host athletes and visitors from all over the country.
