In 2016, the online streaming industry experienced explosive growth. From its rise to today, while the number of streaming platforms has decreased compared to before, the content has become increasingly diverse. The leading domestic streaming platform Douyu, with its outstanding gaming livestreams, was among the first to establish a firm foothold in the industry. In recent years, however, Douyu has continued to explore more streaming fields, building a comprehensive livestreaming system that includes events, music, outdoor activities, and more. Following its success in gaming, Douyu’s outdoor livestreaming segment has gained momentum, with hiking livestreams becoming a new trend.
How big is China? 9.63 million square kilometers;How far does a person walk in one step? About50cm; so how long would it take to walk across China on foot? To many, this may seem like an unattainable feat, but within Douyu’s outdoor livestreaming community, there are already individuals who have embarked on this journey.200A “200-plus-pound man,” “Be a Madman,” “Yang Family Army・Yang Huang,” “Donkey Nest Expedition,” “Dian Dian,” and “March・Tang Xiao Tang”—these Douyu outdoor streamers have proven through their actions that hiking across China is more than just talk.that's all.
These five Douyu outdoor streamers are travelers walking across the land of China. They have all endured hardships and traversed one treacherous natural landscape after another, yet their journeys are even more perilous than most...This year,9in October, streamer200“200-plus-pound man” (room ID:669128) encountered the most terrifying night of his hiking journey while on his way to Nagqu. That night, he camped near Nandacun Village when, unexpectedly, a black bear over two meters tall began prowling around his campsite. It was a long and agonizing night—he didn’t fall asleep until dawn, clutching his weapon tightly. Earlier, in7month,200“200-plus-pound man” had no choice but to set up camp on a narrow path between crumbling rocks and a raging river when passing through Luolong County. Hopefully, on his journey through Sichuan—the Qiangtang uninhabited area—he will see more of the beautiful scenery along the way and cause fewer worries for his fans.
“Donkey Nest Expedition・Dian Dian” (room ID: 1009857) has consistently maintained a“high” standard. Starting from Lhasa at an altitude of3658meters, he passed through formidable sites such as the Karola Glacier, Jialu La Mountain, and Everest Base Camp, eventually reaching a beautiful town called Kagaa. He faced not only the challenges of prolonged high-altitude trekking and altitude sickness but also the dangers of snowy mountain forests along the way.“March・Tang Xiao Tang” (room ID: 2166395), on the other hand, walked all the way from Zhangjiajie to Changsha. Neither harsh weather nor malfunctioning equipment could break his resolve, because he knew his fans were waiting and accompanying him. Though the journey was tough, the encounters with like-minded people along the way made it a rewarding experience. Meanwhile, “Be a Madman” (room ID: 243306) had a much more relaxing route—he started from the beautiful and charming Sanya, crossed 12 cities, and took in different local cultures and natural scenery along the way, finally arriving in Fuzhou. The cultural journey of “Hua Er” and “Xiao Pang” is sure to offer fans a unique experience.
Though everyone’s livestreaming style is different, they all share the same goal: to bring joy and positivity to people. “Yang Family Army・Yang Huang” (room ID: 691511) used countless footsteps to retrace the spirit of revolutionary martyrs, reliving the Long March of the Red Army and reflecting on the 25,000-li journey. Back then, the Red Army wore straw shoes and, driven by revolutionary spirit, forged a new China. Born in Guangxi, he grew up hearing stories of these martyrs, and as an adult, he made a decision—to livestream his completion of this awe-inspiring Long March, reminding himself and today’s youth to stay true to their original aspirations. Walking away from modern society is no easy feat. He endured heatstroke, dehydration, and excruciating pain from blisters on his feet, but nothing stopped him—in fact, it made him more determined. Now, having completed more than half the journey, he still carries his420-plus-kilogram backpack, using his spirit and body to embody the revolutionary spirit of the Red Army’s Long March.
