Broad World, One Net, Straight Forward: Mercedes-Benz & Yishan Kids Unveil Growth Potential in Moganshan Tennis Camp
The Camp: A Fusion of Sports, Nature, and History
From September 20-21, 2025, Yishan Kids and Mercedes-Benz V-Class MPV partnered up to host the ‘Broad World’ Tennis Natural Parent-Child Camp at the historic 1901 Mountain Top Tennis Court in Moganshan, Zhejiang – the birthplace of modern Chinese tennis.
Families from renowned schools like Wellington, Shanghai Hexian, and Dehong gathered for a dialogue on sports, nature, and humanities, led by star tennis player Wang Qiang and Moganshan Cultural Commissioner Zhu Wei. Children indulged in tennis skills workshops and discovered the sport’s rich history and cultural significance.
More than a hundred years ago, tennis was more than just a sport; it was a way of life that transcended nationality and class. It’s about courage, upbringing, strength, and ‘confrontation with a moderate distance’.
Wang Qiang: Inspiring the Next Generation
Wang Qiang, the Asian Games champion, guided the young players through warm-up games and friendly matches. She emphasized not just technical movements, but also competition etiquette and sportsmanship.
Off-Court Adventures: Moganshan Cross-Country Challenge
The following day, the event expanded beyond the tennis court, with families engaging in off-road challenges at Yueling Farm and Xianrenkeng Tea Garden.
Equipped with a map and Mercedes-Benz V-Class MPV task cards, families navigated through forests and farms, completing challenges and developing teamwork skills. The rain didn’t deter the children’s enthusiasm and resilience.
A Timeless Tradition Continues
Amidst the bamboo sea, a new generation of tennis enthusiasts swung their shots, carrying on the elegant tradition of the sport. Mercedes-Benz V-Class MPV served as the perfect companion for families, ensuring a safe and comfortable journey between the city and nature.
