There is a kind of tacit understanding called setting out together.
Outdoor sports
A positive and healthy lifestyle
Reflecting an optimistic and uplifting attitude toward life
Representing a form of people's spiritual pursuit
Master the "Seven Taboos and Eight Must-Dos" of outdoor sports
Treat everyone kindly during hiking
This is the greatest meaning of having lived elsewhere
And it is also the meaning of outdoor travel
The "Seven Taboos" in outdoor sports
1. Avoid causing troubleThe outdoors is never your own "turf"—it’s better to restrain your brute force and arrogance.
2. Avoid splitting upIf you’re traveling in a group, it’s best not to do your own thing. At least keep it to two or three people if you split up. Never go out alone!
3. Avoid rushing through thingsThe purpose of outdoor sports is to relax your body and mind and broaden your horizons. If you visit a place without carefully observing and appreciating the local customs, you miss the point of outdoor sports.
4. Avoid carrying too much luggageCarrying too many items during outdoor sports is pointless—they become a burden. They’re inconvenient to carry around and unsafe to leave at the hotel. I advocate the one-bag policy: all your belongings should fit in one large backpack.
5. ChildrenChildren constantly need adult supervision, preventing adults from fully enjoying the fun of outdoor sports. This one is open to personal interpretation.
6. Avoid being unfamiliar with the geographyWhen arriving at a new place, buy a local map first—it can be used in emergencies if you get lost and can also serve as a souvenir.
7. Avoid separating money from yourselfIt’s wise to stay vigilant and take extra precautions.
The "Eight Must-Dos" in outdoor sports
1. Practice civility and courtesyBe polite to others at all times and in all situations, be humble and accommodating, and consciously follow public order.
2. Take care of cultural relics and historic sitesTravelers should consciously protect cultural relics, historic sites, and the plants and trees in scenic areas, and avoid randomly carving or graffiti on sites or monuments.
3. Bring a small first-aid kitWhen engaging in outdoor activities, carry some common medications, as unexpected situations may arise outdoors.
Carrying a small first-aid kit ensures you’re prepared for any emergencies.
4. Pay attention to outdoor safetySome outdoor routes may pass through hazardous areas such as steep slopes, dense forests, cliffs, narrow paths, fast-flowing rivers, or deep caves. In these dangerous zones, try to travel with companions and never venture alone.
5. Beware of scamsThere are still some thieves, swindlers, and robbers in society. Therefore, when meeting strangers, avoid forming close relationships too quickly, don’t share sensitive information, and stay vigilant to prevent being deceived and suffering financial or property losses.
6. Make a thorough outdoor activity planThis means preparing a detailed itinerary including time, route, accommodation, and meals, as well as bringing guidebooks, relevant maps, transportation and ferry schedules, and essential gear (clothing, hygiene items, etc.).
7. Respect local customsChina is a multi-ethnic country, and many ethnic minorities have different religious beliefs and cultural taboos. As the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” When visiting areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, respect their traditional customs and daily taboos, and never disregard etiquette or inadvertently hurt their ethnic pride due to careless actions.
8. Pay attention to hygiene and healthWhile traveling, tasting local delicacies is undoubtedly an enjoyment of “culinary culture,” but always be mindful of food and water hygiene and avoid overeating or drinking excessively.
With the high degree of modernization in urban life
people are becoming more distanced from nature
Everything we encounter in daily life is man-made
Master outdoor skills and knowledge
Only by frequently immersing ourselves in nature
can we live like true children of nature
rather than becoming “robots”!
