Light hadron spectroscopy plays an important role in understanding the decay
dynamics of unconventional hadronic states, such as strangeonium and glueballs.
BESIII provides an ideal avenue to search for these exotic states thanks to a
huge amount of data recorded at various energy points in the tau-charm mass
region including J/psi resonance. This report summarizes recent results of the
BESIII experiment related to the glueballs and strangeonium-like states.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, Conference proceeding of FPCP-201
