The spinning top event also requires supreme physical attributes. Spinning the top, seeing it hurtle then pulling the whip rope back requires a certain dexterity. The player scores when their object hits the opponent's spinning top and pushes it out of bounds. Victory can also be claimed by one top spinning longer than the opponent's.

Cuqiu (kickball) requires just a small area and is suitable for all ages. The origin of the name is borrowed from the ancient game cuju, a competitive game equivalent to modern-day football that involves kicking a ball through an opening into a net, but the rules are completely different. Red and blue balls are laid on the field, each with a different number, and divided into two camps according to the color. Players use the soles of their feet to massage the ball, then they attempt to hit the opponent's ball.

High-foot racing and shoe racing boast distinct ethnic features. High-foot racing is also called "riding a bamboo horse". Different from ordinary track and field running, the athlete's feet are on pedals, and in their hands they hold bamboo poles during running. They have to run along steps.
