The Olympic Museum Family Day event was recently launched at Xiamen Olympic Museum in Fujian province with the aim of promoting Olympic spirit and attracting more teenagers to participate in physical exercise.
The Olympic Museum in Xiamen will open a WeChat official account for the event and participants may exchange souvenirs with the credits they get from answering the questions on the museum resources.
Outdoor activities will also be organized during the event, including roller skating, rock climbing and skateboarding.
The event is expected to be promoted to the other Chinese cities, according to Wu Jingguo, founder of the Xiamen Olympic Museum and member of International Olympic Committee.
Wu said that Xiamen Olympic Museum is the first Olympics-themed one in China and it would be great meaningful to start the event in the city.
He added that as the closet city in Chinese mainland to Taiwan, it would also be more favorable to advance cross-Straits sports exchanges to launch the event in Xiamen.
