An orienting race was held in Kunming, Yunnan province on Nov 7 to mark the 16th China Journalists' Day.

Over 100 journalists and 19 teams took part in the race. Competitors were required to locate designated points on a map with the help of compasses.

For some journalists, it was their first time to take part in an orienting activity. "I felt very tired after the race, yet, I'm very happy," said one journalist. He added that the race helped him improve his map reading ability and bring people closer to each other.
