I see you both are mountaineering enthusiasts. When did you start getting into outdoor activities? Was mountaineering your first outdoor pursuit?

Baoding - Can Xiu
The first time I joined a group for outdoor activity was for mountaineering, and it was even a heavy-load camping trip
Hua Ruxue
I've been into outdoor activities for over two years now. At first, my outdoor adventures were mainly about hiking.
Baoding - Canopus
Me too, for over two years. Actually, our outdoor focus is primarily on mountain climbing.

 


Green Field China
So, did the two of you start your hiking near your hometowns?

Flower Like Snow
Yeah, mostly within a 200-kilometer radius.

Green Field China
Have you been to other provinces or cities?

Baoding - Canopus
The first hike I did with the group was at Tuoliang.
Flower Like Snow
Shanxi, Zhangjiakou

Green Field China
During your hiking experiences, have there been any interesting stories?
Something that left a deep impression?

Flower Like Snow
I knew about the Green Field forum very early on. I registered as soon as I got into outdoor activities and often visited Green Field to browse and learn related outdoor knowledge and information.

Baoding - Canopus
The hiking routes we usually take are quite off the beaten path, mostly for route exploration.

Green Field China
Meaning places that few people have hiked before?

Baoding - Canopus
Nothing particularly interesting, maybe we’ve just gotten used to the confusion during exploration and the joy when we succeed.

Green Field China
Have you ever gotten lost or encountered danger?

Baoding - Canopus
Yeah, not many people have walked those paths.
Flower Like Snow
Fortunately, I haven’t had any such experiences.
Baoding - Can Xiu
Mainly because the guide is well done

Green Field China
This is the best
Speaking of guides, what experience do you have to share regarding this kind of pre-trip preparation?

Hua Ruxue
I still have to thank the forum—I’ve learned a lot from it, including route traces, safety precautions, and so on.
Baoding - Can Xiu
Mainly looking at maps and studying routes from them

 

Green Field China
How many people usually go together?

Hua Ruxue
Mostly 10–20 people, safety first
Baoding - Can Xiu
We don’t usually have many people because most of the routes we take are exploratory in nature


Green Field China
Can you talk about an exploratory experience?
The most recent one or the most memorable

Hua Ruxue
Almost every trip is exploratory
Baoding - Can Xiu
There’s a blog post on my space from last year

For example, self-driving, independent travel, and such?

Hua Ruxue
If there’s a chance, we’ll try other outdoor activities too. Most of the time we drive ourselves—Can Xiu doubles as the driver, photographer, and organizer

 

Green Field China
Exploring ancient routes that are thousands of years old—pretty cool
Any plans lately? Anywhere you’re thinking of exploring?

Baoding - Canopus
Planning to hike around the South Taihang Mountains

Green Field China
Autumn is the perfect time to go

He’s determined to hike every valley in Tuoliang. This week he’s tackling the last unexplored one—Qiubo Pool through Tuoliang. Around National Day, he plans to head to the South Taihang Mountains.

Green Field China
This kind of exploration is really helpful for other hikers—it’s like blazing a new trail~
