Features: Greenfield was established in Beijing in 1998 as China's first website dedicated to self-guided outdoor activities. Today, Greenfield has over 100,000 members, and in 2005, more than 100,000 people participated in group activities organized through the website. Greenfield is China's most renowned self-guided outdoor activity website. Since its inception, Greenfield has been committed to promoting natural, eco-friendly, and healthy outdoor activities in China, such as mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, trekking, camping, cycling, skiing, and off-road driving. Greenfield advocates independence and mutual assistance, encouraging people to master their own equipment and skills, plan their own routes and schedules, participate in activities in groups, share expenses, and jointly bear the risks and responsibilities. Greenfield also does not oppose purchasing commercial services to improve athletic skills and expand activity capabilities. On the Greenfield website, users can freely post activity plans, recruit or join outdoor activities. After an activity is completed, the organizer writes a detailed cost report, while users publish numerous guides, travel diaries, photos, and discussions about equipment and techniques, guiding more and more enthusiasts into outdoor sports.
The book "China Outdoor Travel" was the result of joint discussions, planning, and manuscript review by the China Tourism Press, the Editorial Team of "China Outdoor Travel," and the Greenfield website. It compiles 20 of the most popular outdoor activities in China. Through this book, readers can obtain basic athletic techniques and rich information about activity routes. We hope that the publication of this book will further promote outdoor sports in China. The book covers the entire country, including all the popular and lesser-known outdoor activities discovered in recent years, encompassing all the highlights, big or small.
