The "Sentinel Training Camp" offered a variety of activities, from water gun battles to archery and wooden sword crafting, ensuring enjoyment for visitors of all ages. The event also featured activities, like inviting visitors to explore traditional crafts such as wood carving, tie-dye, batik, pottery, and embroidery.

This cultural and tourism event is led by Pingyuanshao village in Qingzhen and draws inspiration from the area's unique military garrison culture and rich historical heritage.

The "Sentinel Challenge" will become a regular event, organized by villages and held on a weekly, monthly, seasonal, and annual basis. Its goal is to establish Qingzhen – as well as Guiyang – as a premier destination for team-building, family education, and weekend leisure, thereby boosting local incomes and rural vitalization.
