These Boots are Made for Walking

How we choose our footwear and lacing for comfort.

Got a pair of shoe or boot, tried in the shoe shop it fits just perfect but when hiking uphill and downhill it was not so perfect after all. 

Many failed to realize the comfort of the shoe when walking depends in how we buy the right size shoes / boots and how we lace them. 

Weekend Outdoor Activities

Sometimes we work hard, we also need to play hard. Most of our city friends get tired during weekend because they have to ran errand for family, taking them out shopping, buying new clothes, have dinner with family, taking kids to ballet or other classes and they are simply worn down... End of the weekend.

Chinese Backpacker forum with photos and info

There are at least 4 trail heads going up Snow Mountain in Shei-Pa National Park however one of the most favourite and shortest trail to Snow Mountain is from Wuling Farm, one can reach the campsite and spend a night before setting off early morning to Snow Mountain Eastern Trail, click HERE, otherwise the Wuling Quadruple Trail going up 4 mountains. Both trails will take 3days 2 nights.
