I randomly chose the peacock tribe while other visitors made their choices. We were then given scorecards with grids. A staff member told me the game started last year and became popular, with new versions released every three months to keep repeat visitors feeling it was a fresh activity.
As I began the tasks, I saw a stone tablet with the words, "the No 1 Pagoda Under the Heaven", written by Northern Song calligrapher Mi Fu, who wrote these words on a plaque after ascending the pagoda. After that, I entered a courtyard called Fusheng, where we had to complete more tasks.
In the courtyard, I found a character in traditional costume who claimed to be a descendant of Mi. He said Mi appreciated ornamental rocks, a tradition that was popular during the Northern Song period. The criteria for this activity were "slim, wrinkled, perforated, and transparent", and the task was to find the four characters referring to the requirements in the courtyard.
