Reported by Zhang Aoran. On June 2, amid the stirring and sonorous sounds of Sichuan River work chants, the “2012 Chongqing Tieshanping Forest Journey Fitness Festival and Ten Thousand People Hiking to Welcome the Olympics” event kicked off at Tieshanping Forest Park.
It is understood that the Tieshanping Forest Journey Fitness Festival, as a branded tourism event in Chongqing, has been held for several consecutive years, advocating a lifestyle of returning to nature and low-carbon wellness. Its main activities include “One, Ten, Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand”—namely promoting the slogan “Two-River Green Island, Wellness Destination,” launching the Ten Scenic Spots of Tieshan, the “Hundred Tents Camping Event,” the “Thousand Bicycles Mountain Cycling Activity,” and the “Ten Thousand People Hiking Event.”
During this festival, the Tieshanping Forest Journey Organizing Committee also invited officials from the British Consulate-General in Chongqing to join Chongqing citizens in a hiking trip, using a low-carbon and healthy way to welcome the 2012 London Olympics. British Consul-General in Chongqing, Leigh Turner, stated that Chongqing is not only a city of fashion but also a green forest city. The Tieshanping ten-thousand-person hiking event promotes a healthy and low-carbon lifestyle, which is perfectly aligned with the philosophy of the London Olympics. They were very pleased to participate in this hiking activity, and at the launch ceremony, they presented some official London Olympic souvenirs to citizen representatives.
