Overview
About Me
I used to stay in Hunan. I wrote a long hiking guide about Zhangjiajie (10k+ words) and kept it here for a long time, so most photos in my album are about hiking in Zhangjiajie.
1.1.2026~15.4.2026 I’m staying in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, and rent a small place here. It’s often occupied, but sometimes I can share it with travelers — just message me first to check.
I ride around the city every day. If you want to explore, I can show you around if I’m free.
