The highlight about traveling, other than challenging your physical condition,
is to meet new friends from all over the world. We will share a big backpack
guesthouse and scramble our eggs together every morning. Chitchat into
the small hours, or naked sunbathing on the roof. There are so many interesting
people you can hang out with, listen to their fascinating stories and
share your experience of the wild adventure.
Traveling isn't just going there and taking a bunch of pictures
to show off when you get back. Personally I seldom take photos; however,
I will never forget any single view from my trip. I can still feel with
all my senses, the astonishing blue of the lake, the cutting through the
clouds (6500 meters high), the fresh tasty spring water, the peaceful
and tranquil forest, I can go on and on about them.
All in all, go out with your heart, your eyes, your ears, all your senses
and have a spiritual pampering of your mind!

try not go to Beijing, Xian, Guilin, etc during the golden holiday. If
you are looking for a unique and peaceful holiday we have some great travel
destinations to recommend to you. Those are the most popular trips according
