On the morning of October 23 (Chongyang Festival), the Five-Connection Bridge Plaza at Jiuhuashan’s Grand Wish Cultural Park was festooned with flowers and banners for the Anhui Provincial Elderly Sports Fitness Demonstration Event—Chizhou Chapter & Jiuhuashan Seniors' Mountaineering Activity. A towering backdrop displaying the event title dominated the plaza as over 500 attendees, including Deputy Director of Jiuhuashan Administrative Committee Wang Shiqin, Chizhou Elderly Sports Association officials Wang Anmin, Wang Yuhui, and Bao Xibiao, along with Jiuhuashan representatives Fang Li and He Songlin, gathered for the opening ceremony. Participants included walking stick exercise teams, softball squads, and senior residents from Jiuhua Township and villages.
Co-organized by Jiuhuashan and Chizhou Elderly Sports Associations, this initiative responded to the national "Double Ninth Festival Fitness Campaign" advocated by China’s General Administration of Sport and the China Senior Citizens Sports Association.
Under the theme "Swing Your Arms, Stride Forward: Science-Based Fitness for All,"the event encouraged seniors to embrace mountaineering as a gateway to physical activity. It aims to broaden senior participation in sports, raise public awareness of scientific fitness practices, and promote nationwide engagement in health-focused recreation.
