Parents choose to educate child in great outdoors

Pan Zhenwen has covered a lot of ground for a 4-year-old.

For about the past three years, she has spent six to seven months a year hiking with her father all over China. And this month, they set off on a new adventure - walking part of the route of the Long March.

The duo left Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, by bus on Nov 18 and planned to wander from Luding to Xinlong over about a month.
