The organizer designed a climbing route for the children, who have to finish various missions including mountain climbing and plant searching, to become the disciples of Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong, also known as the Monkey King, is a main character in the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West. In the novel, he is a monkey born from a stone who acquires supernatural powers through Taoist practices. After rebelling against heaven and being imprisoned under a mountain by the Buddha, he later accompanies the monk Xuan Zang on a journey to retrieve Buddhist sutras from India.
