Event time: around 9:30–19:00

Meeting point: 山下mountain 咖啡馆 (Shanxia Mountain Cafe)

Drive: about 2 hours, one way.

Please eat a full breakfast, because we will have a late lunch on the mountain.

Suitable for: Because the number of guests we can take each time is limited, we hope everyone is on the same wavelength. Easygoing, not anxious, and fond of nature and wild, rustic fun. Age: 5-60.

If children are participating, they need to like nature quite a bit. In addition, children must be accompanied by an adult, and the price is the same for adults and children.

Not suitable for: People with weak stomachs or sensitivity to mushrooms.

About the price: the drive + the time + the hard-to-reach forest + the unique, adorable guide + the outdoor cooking equipment and food provided + the limited group size (one guide takes about 4 guests, occasionally increased to 5 in special circumstances) + during mushroom season, tasting and learning about special mushroom varieties, eaten at their freshest. = a special travel experience, and we are not expensive at all ✌️

*Minimum of two people to depart (for details, please consult customer service).

About the route: It is generally the mountain forests around 大理 (Dali), which are relatively safe and are places travelers cannot easily find on their own. Activity content: It is like a “playing-house forest trip” with the girls from the picking team. We drive for two hours and arrive at the forest. Together we hike and search for treasures in the forest: in summer we pick mushrooms, and in other seasons we collect fallen leaves 🍂 and fruits. When we are not fixated on mushrooms, there are many other treasures to find in the forest. Leaves of different shapes and colors, wildflowers, and strange trees are all easily overlooked natural art. During the hike, we will teach everyone to recognize mushrooms and plants. You can take the treasures you pick home and DIY them into simple framed pictures. You can also sign up for our indoor craft activity to make them into decorative paintings. Of course, simply admiring them and letting them stay in nature is also very nice. We will also bring dry food, fruit, and hot tea to replenish our energy at noon and have a picnic in the forest along the way. After the hike ends, we return to camp together to cook. Cooking outdoors is a little game we often play, so we hope it won’t be too serious and will feel more like playing house. The girls from the picking team each have their own preferences and traits, so we don’t want to set restrictions here either; therefore, what meal is made that day depends on the different leaders. Mushroom-picking season: July to October.

During mushroom season, there is mushroom soup and stir-fried mushrooms. After mushroom season ends, it’s random. You can also book and ask in advance about meals in the outdoors; they are generally quite simple and not elaborate. Records from the mushroom season of July–October:
