The afterglow of Xipo camping is too strong The afterglow of Xipo camping is so strong! After returning, everything else felt boring, so I had to sign up for more activities with Cangshan Hiking Home. Dali is best for outdoor fun! Our guides were Aruna and Wen Jianqi, and I want to give them a huge shout-out! First, praise for the girl: Aruna's driving skills are amazing, and she takes incredible photos—all candid shots, paying attention to small details. Women really understand women; men never get what women want in photos. But don't force it unless you're willing to spend big. Xiao Qi is a young man in his twenties, the knowledgeable type. With him around, you never worry about boring hikes or kids giving up. He introduced us to insects and various plants, and we discovered many beautiful mushrooms. Both guides were very nice to the kids. The whole itinerary was smoothly designed. We gathered in the afternoon, and Aruna drove us to A Yan's house halfway up Xipo. We had some fruit and tea to rest, then set up camp before dark, and returned for dinner. A Yan's cooking was the second best meal I've had in all my visits to Dali! On the way back, A Yan's dog Qian Duoduo followed us, accompanying (and freeloading) us. Our team finally had a dog! At the campsite, Xiao Qi made a fire and brewed milk tea, brought lots of snacks, and played some oldies music. Everyone ate, drank, and chatted comfortably. At that moment, I wished my friends were there. When I think of my friends, it must be a great place with a great atmosphere. Since my kid was sleepy, I took her to the tent to sleep. It started drizzling, and I thought the raindrops on the tent would be annoying and keep me awake. But not at all—it was natural white noise, very hypnotic. When I opened my eyes, it was already 9 a.m. The two guides were almost done with breakfast. Qian Duoduo was happily running around, bringing so much emotional value. Sitting under the tarp, Xipo looked even more beautiful in the rain. The mist in the valley kept rising until it reached our feet. I said we could touch the clouds. Luckily, I brought pre-made cold brew, made an Americano, ate the bread Xiao Qi baked and the noodles Aruna cooked, watching the clouds and listening to the rain—almost perfect. After breaking camp, we hiked into the primeval forest. This was Xiao Qi's highlight moment! Our 5.5-year-old girl, who usually complains after five minutes of walking, completed the entire hike (about 3-4 hours) without fuss. After the hike, we had another hearty meal at A Yan's house—so delicious! Finally, thanks again to Aruna and Xiao Qi for their hard work, giving us such a wonderful experience. Looking forward to playing together again!
