To ensure high-quality competitions, Guangzhou Gymnasium has upgraded its professional lighting, sound systems, and wooden flooring, while introducing smart technologies such as AR-guided tours and barrier-free services to enhance the experience for both athletes and spectators.

Young players have praised the venues, with Wu Yupeng from the Sichuan team noting, "The lighting and sound effects are fantastic, allowing me to focus entirely on the game." Guangdong team member Chen Hengyi said, "This is my first time to compete in such a large venue and also my first time to participate in the National Games. I feel that the audience and volunteers are very enthusiastic, and the wooden floor on the site is also very comfortable."

Meanwhile, 242 "Little Dolphin" volunteers from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies South China Business College are providing audience support, medical assistance, and reception support, adding a vibrant touch to the event.
