Recently, the "Dream Explorers" Walk the Three Rivers event, jointly organized by Zhanlu Culture, Skyleader Outdoor, and Ailehuo Community, was a great success. As one of the promotional series for the new book *Desert Sahara* by renowned Chinese explorer Jin Feibao, the event garnered widespread attention and active participation from all sectors of society. Led by Jin Feibao and Zeng Hua, founder of the Skyleader brand, the "Dream Explorers" team spent ten days hiking through and conducting in-depth visits to the Three Rivers region, leaving behind love, resilience, and joy. On November 24th, Jin Feibao and Zeng Hua will reunite with fellow dream explorers at the Skyleader Outdoor Life Store in Beijing to share their travel experiences. A photography exhibition of the "Three Rivers Journey" by the dream explorers and a reader meeting for Jin Feibao’s new book *Desert Sahara* will also be held on the same day.
Understanding Jin Feibao, Walking Out of the "Sahara"
"Here there are kind and simple people, beautiful yet weathered deserts, scorching and fierce sunlight, and mysterious, distant legends." In *Desert Sahara*, Jin Feibao uses his beautiful and passionate words to tell us about a desolate yet rich, lonely yet abundant desert. The book writes: "Whether it's the penniless Sanghai boatmen or the Tuareg tribes stranded in the desert, what we feel is trust, care, and respect." This is not only his heartfelt sentiment about the Sahara, but also the emotion and gain that every outdoor journey brings to him and to us.

This time, Jin Feibao leads the dream explorers on a "Walk the Three Rivers, Explore Yunnan" journey, opening another wonderful outdoor adventure. Trust, care, and respect remain the unchanging themes of the trip; this time, the journey is also filled with outdoor knowledge, carrying the goals of exploring the culture, landscape, and flora and fauna of the Three Rivers region. In exchanges with children who have never left the Three Rivers and in close contact with the area’s pristine nature, Jin Feibao and all the dream explorers, full of hope and love, have made this trip uniquely beautiful. On November 24th, Jin Feibao will bring these beauties to meet with Beijing readers and enthusiastically share with every friend who loves and yearns for the outdoors.
"Crossing No-Man’s Land For the Dreams of the Children of the Three Rivers!"
Deep in the Three Rivers, there are the most pristine natural wonders, six different climate zones with diverse natural plants, and precious ferns that survived the Jurassic period; deep in the Three Rivers, there are also isolated natural villages and schools, simple folkways, and material scarcity—all of which left a profound impact on the dream explorers.

"The children of Ludian Taiping Primary School had eyes full of curiosity and exploration. Our arrival really excited them. Seeing them holding stationery and wearing happy smiles, we aunties and uncles who came from afar were also very happy." Dream explorer and Skyleader founder Zeng Hua recorded their experiences in such heartfelt words. Looking at the children’s eager eyes, their shoes with worn-out soles, and the simple classrooms, the dream explorers, with determination, trekked through mountains and rivers, crossed the Jinsha River and Lancang River, traversed the uninhabited Biluo Snow Mountain area, and descended nearly vertically from an altitude of over 3,400 meters on the snow-capped mountain to the Fugong County area by the Nujiang Gorge at around 1,200 meters, facing constant dangers but forging ahead bravely.
At this sharing event, Jin Feibao, Zeng Hua, and other dream explorers will also communicate face-to-face, sharing the emotions and experiences of this journey, in the hope of encouraging more people to explore the vastness of nature and the outdoors.
Reuniting and Setting Off with Time-Tested Skyleader Gear
It is reported that while the sharing event is taking place, the Skyleader Outdoor Life Store will also be newly arranged to host a photography exhibition of the Three Rivers Journey by the dream explorers. In addition to the heartfelt sharing by the explorers, vivid photographic images will also vividly depict the beautiful landscapes and humanistic sentiments of the Three Rivers, recording this wonderful journey. At that time, the "Skyleader Three Rivers Explorer Series Gear," which has been tested in various harsh environments during the Three Rivers Journey, will also be displayed as a thematic exhibit, witnessing the successful conclusion of the Three Rivers Journey. According to reports, attendees at the sharing event can also receive a free Skyleader Seven-Star Membership Card and purchase the entire Explorer Series gear at highly favorable prices.
In temperatures as low as minus 5 degrees in the uninhabited area, Skyleader tents pitched by the lakeside and deep in the mountains withstood severe tests. The dream explorers mentioned on Weibo: "The temperature by Xinhua Lake at night was very low. When we got up in the morning, there was a thick layer of frost on the tents. After shaking them off in the warm sunlight, the frost fell like beads. Under the sunshine, the dream explorers set off again. Thanks @SkyleaderSCALER for shielding us from the frost and wind." The dream explorers also spoke very highly of Skyleader’s high-end waterproof hiking shoes, whose excellent waterproof performance was crucial during several water crossings. The waterproof jackets and pants they wore throughout the journey also demonstrated their warmth, helping them resist the cold in the sub-zero temperatures of the uninhabited area. The 32L technical backpack was also loved by everyone for being lightweight, portable, and highly capacious.

The tougher the environment, the more it tests the quality of the product. A relevant person in charge of the Skyleader R&D department stated that they will also participate fully in the sharing, carefully listen to the full usage experience of the dream explorers, focus on product details, and comprehensively improve product quality.
