Spent a full day somewhere in the Cangshan mountains with the funniest local guide, trying to communicate with bits of English (thank you for translating, Yu),a little Cantonese, and my very limited, barely existing, Mandarin(I really need to learn).
Xiaoqi drove us deep into the hills, bringing us to a Yunnan family living in the mountains. With ingredients and produce from their land and farm,they cooked organic,homemade dishes for us:fern, broad beans, home-aged ham,different vegetables, corn from the land, and tomato eggs, all of which tasted so good and wholesome.Home-cooked meals made by grandmas are my favourite,no restaurant could beat them for me.
We walked through forests,hills,and meadows,meeting a very sweet grandma who lives alone in the mountains along the way, with Xiaoqi telling us more about all the Dali flora, introducing us to the flavours of local edible plants and flowers, and taking in the changing landscapes,all accompanied by the mountain family's sweet little dog.
I found a new favourite fruit named bayberries (sweet, sour, refreshing and pretty) and witnessed the sunset from within a car, while Xiaoqi drove us in his van out of the mountains, back to the city.Something about watching the sunset while driving with the windows open...
WhatI found most affecting was how connected to nature Xiaoqi seemed,and even though he does this hike quite often,he still seems in awe of everything.
A day without any reception,but didn't miss it once
趁着假期，报名了OTC小镇的两日香格里拉牧区徒步旅行活动@大理苍山徒步之家 ，第一次近距离见到雪山与牧场的我，到现在好像还对那种充满自由与神圣的气息难以忘怀。
也许人类总是会对变幻莫测的极端天气感到兴奋吧！从牧民的房子里醒来，看到屋外连下一天的雨，莫名对活动体验搞到担心，但直到车开到通宝雪山脚上，看到缓缓落下的雪花，突然意识到这可能比晴天的雪山更值得一来吧。
雪帘背后隐现的神秘雪山，穿梭在丛林中的耗牛群，雪地中闪耀的紫杜鹃，都在此刻召唤着内心深处对自由的渴望，终于做回自然的孩子了！
就这样一直徒步到雪中的小木屋里，所有人围坐在火炉旁，谁懂此刻炖耗牛肉加超大量方便面的威力有多大。来自不同地方和国家的我们互相聊着共同的话题，看着窗外逐渐变缓的雪景，就这样在香格里拉存下来人生的珍贵时刻。
再次推荐这个活动，两位向导Aruna和小淇可靠又风趣，住夏牧场，吃藏餐，和青稞酒，做野外植物猎人，徒步的路线没有游客的嘈杂，两天的体验感好过整个假期。
总有一天还会再见吧，香格里拉。
菲比人超温柔，山里花草小动物全都特别熟，讲解细致又生动。对小朋友超有耐心!
我家4岁男孩平时不爱动，体力一般，这次全程自己走完山路，完全没喊抱。出发就给孩子发观察瓶，捕虫器，小孩一路兴奋到不行!
特别适合给小朋友做自然启蒙，沉浸式观察微观大自然，亲子闭眼冲!
跟着真好和炸毛一起去徒步!!!超级满意我打10000/100分。
蕨类森林真的超酷，完全原始森林的味道，炸毛是全天下最乖的小狗了!超级责任的小可爱!真好认识好多好多好多的蕨类和菌子，非常认真负责的给我们介绍还有很多好玩有趣的小故事!
难能可贵的一次雨中骑行体验，谢谢耐心等待我们，并陪同我们一起淋雨。
天灰蒙蒙的，海灰蒙蒙的，但心情亮堂堂的。孩子全程都在大声笑，迎着雨点冲冲冲，也不曾因大雨而停下，旅行可以有很多种打开方式。
期待下次可以继续，也期待下次可以更好地听古村落的故事。
虽然阴天，后半段又经历了一会小雨但是不影响徒步体验
光影流动间仿佛误入爱丽丝梦游仙境朋友说像阿凡达的世界
远近不停地变换出不同层次的绿色下坡一路上铺满了松针踩下去软软的
在这里的每一步都充满着生命力
Kimi和里尼聊了一路他说如果打分要给十颗
特别的徒步旅行，领队会认真介绍每一种蕨类，地衣。一边学习认识不同植物，一边感叹苍山的生态环境太好了，走走停停中感受到山与森林带来的能量。
走累了，铺上野餐垫席地而坐，领队还会为大家准备水果和热茶。很棒的体验
