Guangzhou's Yang Cheng Tong (Canton Pass) will launch a national transportation unified card in September to serve the 15th National Games in Guangzhou and enhance urban mobility. The card adheres to national standards, enabling seamless travel across over 330 interconnected cities in China.
The card covers key transportation options in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), including Hong Kong's MTR, shuttle buses on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, Macao buses, and Guangdong intercity trains, making it ideal for cross-regional travel during the games or for tourists visiting Guangzhou.
The card features three thematic designs inspired by popular sports in the Bay Area: "Soaring Feathers" (badminton), "Bouncing Ping Pong" (table tennis), and "Splashing Leap" (diving). These designs blend athletic energy with cultural elements, offering both practical use and collectible value. Each card serves as a cultural keepsake while supporting daily commuting needs.
For purchase, the card will be available through official Yang Cheng Tong channels, including the Taobao store, the Lingnan Life mini-program online mall, and physical customer service centers. Stay updated via the Yang Cheng Tong WeChat account, RED notes, and other official platforms for details on card benefits and exclusive privileges.
Cardholders can enjoy special discounts at partnered venues, such as dining promotions at DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou, discounted tickets for Pearl River night cruises, and savings on selected products in the Yang Cheng Tong mall. These benefits extend to popular dining, cultural tourism, and shopping spots, catering to visitors' lifestyle needs.
Yang Cheng Tong has created themed spaces like the "Xiaoyang Space (小羊空间)" at Exit E of Fangcun Station on the Guangzhou Metro. This space showcases National Games cultural and creative products, including plush toys "Xiyangyang" and "Lerongrong," and offers services like information consultation and card-related assistance.
Additionally, official licensed merchandise stores at venues like Guangzhou Sports Center and Anhua Mall in Baiyun District sell limited-edition items, including blind box accessories, bags, and fridge magnets featuring the popular mascots.
Whether for attending the games, exploring Guangzhou, or integrating into daily life, this card combines convenience, culture, and connectivity across the GBA.
