International trailwalk takes in iconic landmarks

By Shi Jia | 00:05 UTC+8 November 15, 2018 | Print Edition

The 2018 International Trailwalk Conference kicked off in Hangzhou on Sunday, near the west side of Qiantang River.

As part of the 20th West Lake International Expo, the event has so far attracted 15,000 participants from both home and abroad, including over 300 foreigners from countries such as France, the US and Australia.

Each participant can opt for any of the walks on offer, including 5, 15, 30 and 50-kilometer distances. Visitors who walk to the finish line, within the required time limit, will be awarded medals or certificates celebrating their achievement.

The 30km route starts from the ecological park by the west bank of Qiantang River and passes several iconic landmarks in the area, including the five bridges across the river, the century-old Liuhe Pagoda and Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center, built for the 2022 Asian Games.

The event was also an occasion for showcasing Hangzhou’s characteristic cartoon and animation culture.

An animation parade, joined by some of the most well-known cartoon figures in town, was greeted with great enthusiasm by some of the youngest contestants of the year.
