Terratribes Story
Yangshuo, Guangxi has unique outdoor resources and has been the Mecca for outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world to experience activities such as rock climbing, kayaking on the Lijiang River, mountain biking, camping, hiking, caving and other activities. In 2000, outdoor education had just started in China, and many international school teachers chose Yangshuo as the first place for their students to have outdoor education courses. Because of their love for outdoor sports, Sun and Xiang, both from the southwestern minority areas of China, also came here to learn about outdoor education. They worked with outdoor educators from all over the world. They found that this experiential education model has a huge impact on people. Based on their trust and enthusiasm for this education model, Sun and Xiang founded the Terratribes in 2008.
Why Terratribes
Terratribes is a product of the collision between oriental culture and western educational ideas. Sun and Xiang have traveled in all provinces of China, and have also traveled to more than 30 countries around the world, including Antarctica. The founder's rich international vision and oriental cultural background make the product design of Terratribes different from ordinary tourism activities.

social impact
When Terratribes was founded, we wanted to give something back to society. In addition to the outdoor environmental protection philosophy it advocates, Terratribes also regards community service and assisting community development as the biggest purposes of the company. Over the years, we have continued to organize community service projects. In 2015, we established the "Bridge Public Service" with students from the school of Peking University Affiliated High School. The project, targeting the left-behind children from remote areas of Guizhou, or children from special family backgrounds. They participated in Terratribes\'s Yangshuo Camp for outdoor activities, giving those children the opportunity to get in touch with the outside world, expand their horizons, enrich their hearts, and establish connections with partners in other places. In the future, we will continue to work with more schools to run the "Bridge Public Service" project. We believe that outdoor education can change the future.
