Hundreds of runners transformed east China's Mogan Mountain into a glowing spectacle this weekend as the 2025 Kailas Mogan Mountain Running Race kicked off under the stars. 🌌 The event, blending adrenaline and artistry, saw participants’ headlamps ignite simultaneously at the starting gun—creating a dragon-like streak of light that vanished into the autumn night. 🐉💡
Trails, Tea Fields & Midnight Thrills
The 50km trail race weaved through misty bamboo forests, ancient tea plantations, and villages steeped in tradition. Organizers called it a 'celebration of nature and human spirit,' with runners from over 20 countries and regions tackling the rugged terrain. 🍃⛰️

Deqing, already known for its eco-tourism, saw this event boost local businesses while spotlighting sustainable adventure travel. One runner from Singapore told us: 'It’s like racing through a painting—every turn reveals something magical.' 🎨✈️
