About the route:

Usually, it's the forests around Dali, which are safe but also secret spots that tourists cannot easily find on their own.

Activity content:

It's like a 'playing house forest trip' with the picking team girls.

Drive two hours to the forest. Together, we hike and treasure hunt in the forest. In summer, pick mushrooms; in other seasons, collect dead leaves 🍂 and fruits. When not focused on mushrooms, there are many other treasures in the forest to find. Leaves of different shapes and colors, wildflowers, strange trees — all are easily overlooked natural art.

During the hike, we will teach you to recognize mushrooms and plants. The treasures you find, you can take home and DIY into simple framed pictures. Or you can sign up for our indoor handicraft activities to make decorative paintings. Of course, just appreciating them and letting them stay in nature is also good.

We will also bring dry food, fruits, and hot tea to replenish energy at noon and have a picnic in the forest.

After the hike, we return to the camp to cook. Cooking outdoors is a little game we often play, so we hope it's not too serious, more like playing house. The picking team girls each have their own preferences and characteristics, so we don't want to restrict them. Therefore, what meal is prepared depends on the guide that day.

Mushroom picking season: July to October.

During mushroom season, there will be mushroom soup and stir-fried mushrooms. After the mushroom season, it's random. You can also inquire about the outdoor meal in advance after booking. Generally, it is simple and not complicated.

Didn't want to squeeze into tourist spots, so we went into the mountains to pick mushrooms. The journey was long and bumpy, but it was totally worth it. In the quiet mountains, there was no phone signal. Mushrooms of various colors kept surprising us. Our guide Xiaomi taught us to identify many types, and we even tasted raw milk-cap mushrooms—the taste of the wild. We stir-fried the mushrooms we picked on the spot and ate them; they were incredibly fresh. Special thanks to the dog Xiaoxi, who was responsible and guarded us all the way.

A fantastic mushroom foraging experience. Guide Xiao Mi patiently told us which mushrooms are edible and how to identify them. Our handsome driver Xiao Qi was witty and humorous, and after foraging, he cooked us a delicious mushroom dish.

Drove to the mountains to find mushrooms. The journey was quite far, but totally worth it. Guide Xiao Mi and the team treated us like friends, took good care of us, and patiently shared knowledge about mushrooms. During foraging, they identified which ones were edible, which were tasty, and which were poisonous. Having no signal was the best part—I didn't have to look at my phone. We all foraged a lot of mushrooms, and Xiao Mi's team helped cook them—it was delicious! We were lucky to find many black trumpet mushrooms; they were so fragrant when mixed with noodles. If I get the chance, I'll recommend this to friends.
