Family groups listen carefully to the rules of the hiking challenge at Sheshan on Dec 17.

This family hiking challenge was also an intellectual orienteering exercise. The organizer set Sheshan's iconic landmarks as stops for each family to answer questions about basic historical knowledge of Sheshan.

Participants couldn't go on to the next round of hiking if they didn't have the correct answer at the stops.

The last stop was designated at the top of East Sheshan Mountain. Children needed to create a painting with leaves describing the mountain from its perspective, which also became a gift for their parents.
