The event also featured a Lingnan intangible cultural heritage exhibition zone, where calligraphers wrote Spring Festival couplets on the spot and shared blessings with travelers. Meanwhile, the traditional Guangdong "Five-Piece" ensemble performed classic melodies, showcasing the cultural charm of the Lingnan region. Returning passengers praised the event for adding a joyful surprise to their journey.

Baiyun district will reportedly continue organizing heartwarming cultural activities at landmarks such as Guangzhou Baiyun Railway Station and Terminal 2 of the airport, to further spread New Year greetings.

As a newly established cultural and tourism landmark, Terminal 3 blends Chinese and Lingnan architectural styles, featuring attractions such as an airside garden and a commercial street with arcade buildings, making it an important showcase for Baiyun's cultural and tourism appeal.
