Note from Eileen on 11/05
Hi guys!
I’ve been searching for the best spot to camp and to accommodate everyone. It took me a while to finally make up my mind (a good way just to be a vegetarian so you don’t have much choices ).
Soooo Let’s go to the place called “Luoshan forest trail” (https://maps.app.goo.gl/4bgLQ9Fdg5yZPnJN9), we will need to carry our own stuff and will need to walk a bit (maybe 5-7k until we find the best spot for our home of the night ) but it’d be mostly flat. This place supposed to have some water sourcing on the way so we may not need to carry that much water fortunately.
And for this bday camping, I really hope we can make it as much eco-friendly as we can. Soooo please lets bring our own utensils and lets only bring vegetarian food and also garbage bag so we can do the mountain cleanup!
- The plan will be:
- 11/23 9:30AM Meeting directly at luoshan forest trail parking lot gps:(24.632541134350507, 121.16323139291627) as we are all starting from different locations.
- after we find the spot to make the tents
- go for a hike to youloushan and do some mountain cleanup on the way
- come back, cook and enjoy the night
- Please bring:
- Your own tents and chairs, etc.
- Your own vegetarian food : it’d be three meals in total ( lunch, dinner and breakfast ) weclome to having something extra to share with everyone! Better get your stuff prepared the night before so that we don’t need to carry that much garbage and use that much water.
•Backup plan:
As it will be a wild camping, if the weather isn’t that good, we will cancel for the camping and instead, I’ll book the KTV room in our apartment in Xinzhuang and we can all have some small gathering together ❤️
