The 3.5-kilometer walk saw participants engage with tasks, while learning about carbon reduction and green practices. Each participant tracked their carbon-reduction actions via the mini-app on their smartphone, contributing to green energy. Upon completing the walk, they received carbon-neutral certificates issued by the Guangzhou Carbon Emission Rights Trading Center, with each certificate officially registered on the "读碳 (Carbon Registry)" platform through blockchain technology, confirming a reduction of 6.66kg in carbon emissions.

The event was promoted through the "Macao One Account" platform, with approximately 80 Macao residents, including students from Pui Ching Middle School, participating. Organizers hope that this initiative will attract more people to embrace a low-carbon lifestyle, enhance cooperation between Hengqin and Macao, and continue hosting similar activities to deepen the exchange between the two regions.
