I love the outdoors because it brings me health and extraordinary visual experiences. Over the years of exploring the outdoors, I’ve left my footprints on most of the mountains within 300 kilometers of Xuzhou. That exhilarating feeling after sweating, the laughter with friends, and those amazing photos will forever remain in my memory. The Devil’s Path on Songshan Mountain, the Skinny Donkey Back, the Knife Mountain on Mengshan, Little Yunmeng… Walking on the mountaintop, with light clouds and gentle breeze.
The benevolent love mountains, the wise enjoy water. Swimming is also one of my hobbies. The first time I reached down 3 meters to the bottom of Yunlong Lake and grabbed my first freshwater mussel, I was incredibly excited. I love swimming in the sea, feeling its vastness and appreciating the greatness of nature.
In 2012, I found Lvye. I like the name, I like its vibrancy. With mountains, water, and the Lvye activity platform, may my outdoor journey go further and further!

Hello, Haitian
Haitian
Hello
Lvye China
I’ve seen the hiking activities you’ve organized and participated in
When did you start getting into outdoor activities?
Was mountain climbing your first exposure to the outdoors?
Haitian
I started outdoor activities in 2010. At first, it was all about mountain climbing, but notbig mountains. Xuzhou doesn’t have any big mountains—the highest is only 360 meters above sea level.It’s just that due to time constraints, I can only do as much as my schedule allows.I’ve basically been to all the mountains within 300 kilometers of Xuzhou. LikeMount Tai, Songshan Mountain, Mengshan Mountain

Have you ever thought about challenging low-altitude or high-altitude snow mountains?
Haitian
To be honest, I’m not very interested in snow mountains.
My goal in outdoor activities is fitness and seeing more scenery.
Possibly, if conditions allow, I’d like to experience a low-altitude snow mountain.
Haitian
One of my wishes is to drive around the entire border of China.
Lvye China
That’s a long route and would allow you to see many different kinds of landscapes.
Haitian
That's right.
Green Field China
It seems you've done quite a bit of road tripping as well?
Haitian
My previous job was in equipment management, which involved frequent business trips. I can say that I've been to many places in China.I've also driven to a lot of places. The farthest trip I took wasfrom Xuzhou to Yinchuan, then to Korla, to Urumqi, toKaramay, and finally to Kanas.

Over the years of mountaineering, were there any particularly memorable experiences?
Haitian
There were a few. One was climbing the "Devil’s Path" on Mount Song, and another was at the Mo Du Cliff. When we went to the Devil’s Path, I wasn’t really prepared.It got harder and harder the further we went, and there was no turning back.I was genuinely scared at the time.

What about the Mo Du Cliff? Was it a similar experience?
Haitian
Mo Du Cliff was actually not too difficult, but this time I organized a group of 17 people. One of themfell off a cliff. That scared me. Fortunately, his backpack took the brunt of it.If he had hit his head on the rocks, it would have been fatal.
Green Field China
I’d say I’ve matured a lot since then.
Green Field China
Yeah, these days when you’re out in the wild, you must be extra cautious about safety, right?
Haitian
I no longer chase danger, nor do I seek fame.
Green Field China
About mountaineering, do you have any insights you'd like to share with everyone?
Haitian
Walking on the mountaintop, the clouds are light and the wind is gentle. The mountain, rarely visited by people, boasts uniquely beautiful scenery.It lifts one’s mood and inspires reflection on life.
Green Field China
You must love photography too, right?
Haitian
Yes.
Green Field China
You must have taken quite a few beautiful photos~
Haitian
For example, many people go to Mount Tai and take the conventional routes, which are actually quite boring.Places like East Ma Peak and Aolai Peak have amazing scenery. But many people don’t even know theseare part of Mount Tai’s landscapes.
Green Field China
Do you write travel journals or anything like that?
Haitian
I’ve written many travel journals. These were written after joining Green Field.

I also participate in events in Beijing, like Dongling Mountain, Xishan, Jiankou…
Green Field China
When did you start being the moderator of the Jiangsu section?
Haitian
It was right when it was first established, around May this year. The Xuzhou section of Green Field wasestablished on July 13, 2012.
Green Field China
Was it through a group recommendation or did you volunteer yourself?
Haitian
It was self-recommended.
Haitian
We noticed Green Field didn’t have a Xuzhou section, so we contacted them.
Green Field China
After this period of time, what are your thoughts on being a moderator?
Haitian
Being a moderator is tough and requires passion. I think a website needs vitality,it must have its own substance and cultural depth. People allhave a certain sentiment.
Green Field China
Yes. And cultural development is a long-term process that requires accumulation andprecipitation.
Haitian
I love Green Field, which is why I dedicate myself to it. Things that grow too fastare not good. A tree that grows too fast is not a quality one. Green Field needs to be steady, and only those who truly love it will stay.Green Field China
These people who love Green Field are the essence of it.
Green Field China

Hope Green Field gets better and better.
