The exchange of badges has been around for a long time
Interchanging badges has become a unique way to socialize between athletes, journalists and staff at major sporting events.

In fact, the exchange of badges has a long history, and in the early Olympic Games, athletes and officials wore different round cards to identify themselves. Gradually, people began to make friends by exchanging accumulated cards, which gradually developed into a tradition. Over time, round solitaire evolved into badges, and the variety of badge designs added a lot of fun to sporting events.
The Hangzhou Asian Games continues this cross-language and cross-cultural way of making friends and collecting fun.
