The 2020 "Belt and Road" International Parkour Masters event came to an end in Ningbo, East China's Zhejiang province on Oct 25, according to local media reports.

A total of 50 contestants from countries such as China, Morocco, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, and Benin took part in the event. 

Parkour is an extreme street sport popular around the world. It can strengthen the body and make it more agile and responsive. It is also a fashionable lifestyle that explores the potential of human movement.

Parkour entered China in 2006 and has been popular ever since.

It is the second time Ningbo has hosted the "Belt and Road" International Parkour Masters event, which was initiated by the Chinese Extreme Sports Association a year ago.

The race will be held in Ningbo in late autumn every year, the organizer said.
