颁奖花束名为“硕果累累”，代表亚运健儿披荆斩棘、永不言弃的运动精神，祝福运动员在亚运赛场硕果累累、载誉而归。

The Victory Ceremony bouquet, aptly named "Fruits of Triumph", serves as a profound symbol of the unwavering sportsmanship and indomitable spirit of Asian Games athletes. It extends heartfelt wishes for their future journey, one filled with abundant achievements and enduring honor.

花材以寓意丰收和成果的稻穗和莲蓬，名为“赤子之心”的中国自育品种月季，代表亚运“虹韵紫”的蝴蝶兰，以及杭州特色植物龙井茶枝和桂花枝等组成，展现杭州独特的文化内涵和城市魅力。

This bouquet seamlessly merges elements deeply rooted in Chinese culture: rice ears and lotus pods, symbolizing bountiful harvests and remarkable achievements. It features a China-bred rose known as "Heart of Innocence", butterfly orchids reflecting the vibrant "Rainbow Purple" hue from the Asian Games color palette, and indigenous Hangzhou flora, including Longjing tea branches and fragrant sweet osmanthus twigs.

“桂子”之名，源自唐代诗人白居易描写杭州的名句“山寺月中寻桂子”。

奖牌正面由桂花与杭州亚残运会会徽组合而成，背面则以亚残奥委会标志为中心环绕盲文，其中盲文的释义为：杭州第4届亚残运会金牌（银牌、铜牌）。

On the obverse side of the medal, the emblem of the Hangzhou Asian Para Games takes its place at the center, surrounded by a delicate wreath of osmanthus flowers. Meanwhile, on the reverse side, the emblem of the Asian Paralympic Committee is prominently displayed, encircled by Braille inscriptions denoting the 4th Asian Para Games gold, silver, and bronze medals.
