Jing'an orienteering challenge links the district's landmarks
Runners start their journey from the Jing’an Workers’ Stadium
About 800 people in 160 teams took part in an orienteering contest in Jing’an District on Saturday along a route to recall local history and feel the social development.
The route was linked by 20 landmarks such as revolutionary site of Sihang Warehouse Battle Memorial, modern Life Hub @ Daning retail mall and the perfect example of the combination of work and life — Shibei High Technology Park.
“Many of the sites are not new to me, but it made me feel quite new to visit these places today,” said participant Jia Yong, 31-year-old white collar in Jing’an. “It impressed me a lot when I saw numerous holes on the facade of the decades-old Sihang Warehouse, where Chinese and Japanese soldiers engaged in a fierce battle. We have to love our days and love peace.”
