Many hiking enthusiasts are already eagerly waiting—today, we’ll give you an exclusive sneak peek and highlight the three major draws of the advancement stage.

    Highlight One: The Coolest Outdoor Hiking Activity Showcase
    During the selection phase, all 120 contestants from 60 teams uploaded their team profiles and hiking backgrounds. In the advancement stage, participants will further showcase their outstanding hiking skills, rich experience, and indomitable spirit through photos, videos, text, and more. Notably, the event is divided into three main categories: the Dashing Solo Group, the Romantic Couples Group, and the Friendly Mixed Group, each required to display a distinct style according to its theme: the Dashing Solo Group must embody the personal dream of perseverance; the Romantic Couples Group should reflect the shared journey of love; and the Friendly Mixed Group needs to showcase the camaraderie of like-minded friends.
