As China's 15th National Games prepare to open on November 9, Guangzhou, one of the host cities, offers journalists a media kit that is both practical and symbolic.
On November 7, the Main Press Centre (MPC) in Guangzhou officially opened, offering accredited journalists workspaces, information services, technical support, and logistical assistance during the Games. That same day, registered reporters received their exclusive media service packs, designed to enhance their coverage.
Backed by several enterprises, the media kit features a standout box—the "Power Box," jointly launched by IP Guangdong and China Southern Power Grid. Inside, it contains a notebook, power bank, pen, and USB flash drive—small items that reflect big ideas about efficiency and innovation.

The notebook comes in the Games' signature orange, symbolizing energy and youth. The power bank features the event's mascots, Xiyangyang and Lerongrong, alongside the China Southern Power Grid cartoon figure. Compact and lightweight, the power bank supports multiple charging ports—ideal for reporters on the go.
The USB flash drive features a traditional Chinese lattice design and comes preloaded with high-quality videos and images from all 21 cities of Guangdong, produced by IP Guangdong creators. Journalists can freely use these resources in their stories while exploring more of Guangdong's culture and landscapes.

"Green" is one of the main themes of this year's National Games. As one of China's national energy providers and partners of both the 15th National Games and the 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities & the 9th National Special Olympic Games, China Southern Power Grid is supporting the event under the slogan "Green Power Lights Up the Games." By utilising digital, smart, and low-carbon technologies, it is ensuring reliable, eco-friendly electricity for the opening ceremony and all competition venues. During the Games, all Guangdong venues will operate on 100 percent green electricity, sourced from hydropower, offshore wind, and distributed solar.
According to estimates, the event's total green power use will exceed 188 million kWh, reducing carbon emissions by around 160,000 tons—the equivalent of planting 8.88 million trees.
