The final event of the Cheung Chau Tai Ping Qingjiao in Hong Kong, the "Baobao Mountain" competition, was successfully concluded in the early hours of the 16th, with over a thousand spectators vying to attend. Ye Jianwen and Gong Zishan were respectively awarded the titles of "Baoshan King" and "Baoshan Queen". Taiping Qingjiao is a traditional sacrificial activity held by residents of Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong every year on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, which is the birthday of Buddha. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2011. In the highly anticipated traditional festival event "Baoshan" competition, participants are required to climb a giant simulated "Baoshan" made of steel and bamboo branches and pick up the highest possible score "Ping An Bao" within a 3-minute time limit. The competition attracted about 1650 citizens and tourists to watch, with many spectators queuing up several hours in advance to collect admission tickets, just to witness the moment when the finalists compete for awards. In the residential areas around the venue, there are also many citizens watching the competition from the balcony. Mr. Wang and his family of three, a Hong Kong citizen, came to the venue for the first time to watch the competition. They had a strong sense of participation and hoped to take this opportunity to strengthen their daughter's understanding of local customs. The little girl beside her was already dancing with joy, full of anticipation for the upcoming competition. "Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one!" After the countdown ended, 12 contestants bravely climbed and seized the "peak of the package" to win the high scoring package. After about a minute, many contestants descended to lower areas to take lower packages in order to land on the ground within the specified time limit. After intense competition, Ye Jianwen was awarded the "King of Baoshan" with a score of 776. He described this year as a narrow victory, only 5 points behind the runner up, with "safety buttons and other devices being difficult to operate", but as a firefighter himself, he "has more experience" in this regard. "Before the competition, Gong Zishan repeatedly watched the footage of last year's competition to improve her shortcomings. With the highest score of 842 points in the entire game, she won the" Baoshan Hou "award, feeling overjoyed." This year's strategy is to be 'fast, tough, and accurate', to grab the package as soon as possible and remind herself to land on time. "Liang Yincong, who won the bronze medal in the men's group for the first time, was very satisfied with this result. For him," grabbing the package "means praying for" national security and good weather ". He wants to convey good wishes to every audience, hoping that everyone is" safe and everything goes smoothly ". In addition, after the individual competition, a relay invitation competition was held, and the organizer specially invited three climbing experts from Shenzhen, Zhuhai, and Macau to compete with seven teams from the Cheung Chau region. The championship was won by the Shenzhen Mountaineering Outdoor Sports Association. (Lai Xin She)
