For those who want to get their hands dirty and their hearts racing, Qingyuan is the ultimate choice.

You will explore massive, undeveloped cave systems, learn to rappel down limestone cliffs, and cycle through picturesque karst peaks that look like they belong in a painting. This is a trip about self-reliance and grit—you’ll harvest your own bamboo to cook traditional "bamboo rice" and spend a night camping under a vast canopy of stars, far away from the city lights of Hong Kong.
