HIKING FREES YOU

“NATURE HOLDS THE KEY TO OUR AESTHETIC, INTELLECTUAL, COGNITIVE AND EVEN SPIRITUAL SATISFACTION.” 自然是获得自由的钥匙

--E.O. WILSON

You know hiking is good for your health. But do you know just how good it is? Let BYCI tells you: 参与登山活动凸显了一个人的社会性和自然性相互平衡和谐的一面。现代人往往忽略

3. Less chance of becoming overweight 4. Less chance of developing risk factors for heart. disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. 5. Less stress, more ready to learn in school. 6. Sleeping better at night.

Here, campers can not only enjoy the mountain hiking, BYCI also provides the latest team building exercese including survival trainnings Gelaoyu Village has received many international friends and they seemed all have enjoyed the camping.

了自然性，而当人们进入环境优美的山岭中从事登山活动时，就可以暂时弱化社会属性。 For adults, regular aerobic exercise such as hiking leads to: 1. Cardio-respiratory fitness (heart, lungs, blood vessels). 2. Improved muscular fitness. 3. Lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. 4. Lower risk of high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. 5. Lower risk of high cholesterol and triglycerides. 6. Lower risk of colon and breast cancer, and possibly lung and endometrial cancer. 7. Increased bone density or a slower loss of density. 8. Reduced depression and better quality sleep. 9. Lower risk of early death (If you are active for 7 hours a week, your risk of dying early is 40% lower than someone active for less than 30 minutes a week.) 10. Weight control; hiking burns up 370 calories an hour (154-lb person.) Kids get many of the same benefits, including: 1. Improved cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness 2. Better bone health

What’s more, hiking exercises almost every part of your body: legs, knees, ankles, arms, hips and butt, abdominals, shoulders and neck. “Hiking exercises your body and your mind, and nourishes your imagination,” says Ignacio Malpica, a certified fitness instructor and personal trainer in Boulder, Colorado. “It creates awareness in your eyes and ears and the rest of your senses.

Gelaoyu Village After all the talk about health benefits, lets take a look at how BYCI can help you. As we have mentioned before, BYCI offers different platforms for hiking, and Gelaoyu Vilalge is one of the best hiking sites in surbub areas around the capital city - Beijing.

“I never thought there is such aplace with beautiful views wand proofessional teams.” ------Marjan Garbiel, International Student

Shiguo Fish is a local dish in the county theat Gulaoyu village lies. It is known across the country for the fish fresh taste and its unque cooking method. The fish is freshly picked out form the pound and is cooked with the traditional pot that is usually larger than two people ‘s faces, but that does not make the dish less tasty. In fact the gigantic pot almost adds another pecular twist to the dish.

“BYCI is a great platform for people who love the outdoor and nature.” ------ Mike Benjamin International Student

水库鱼是当地极具特色的一道菜，采用新鲜水库鱼制作而成。在经过一天的野营爬山之后，来一碗石锅鱼肯定是不错的选择。

HIKING TIPS 越野锦囊

These are some of the most

important hints and tips BYCI can offer to help you have a better time hiking. Some are discussed on other pages of the magazine, while others are miscellaneous items just listed here. Have a great hike!

• Drink often to stay hydrated.

• Wear enough clothing for warm.

• Carry enough water for the day and your pack will get lighter as the day wears on.

• Embrace Leave No Trace ethics - using the open spaces is not a right but rather a privilege.

• Small snacks often will keep your energy level up rather than waiting for a big lunch meal right after you’ve emptied your body’s reserves.

• Leave your plan with someone back home. And when you arrive at your destination. Call your family and friends first. Just incase any emergencies.

• Keep a small amount of surplus .

• Bring sun protection facilities.

“CLIMB MOUNTAINS NOT SO THE WORLD CAN SEE YOU, BUT SO YOU CAN SEE THE WORLD.”

Mountain climbing has always been multi-dimentional and it covers hikes in lower ground to higher mountains. "Mountain climbing is one of the most interesting and smart games invented by human being." 日本著名登山家田村宣纪所言： “登山是人类想出来的最有意思的游戏，它给人带来无尽的喜悦和智慧。”

A growing number of people in search of new experiences and outdoor adventure have been getting a taste for the crag in climbing centres around the country. According to estimates from the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) there are about 5 million visits to climbing walls each year in the UK. As a result it is a trend to find out about rock climbingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique physical and mental challenge, how to get started and the life skills it provides.

how to rock climb

Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation. 技巧是经验，思考和热情的完美结合 ---John Ruskin（约翰.骆斯丁）

Now imagine a 1,000-foot tall vertical rock wall filled with cracks and outcrops that are so obvious and so easy to find that you can climb it like you climb a ladder. Rock climbing has always been landing in somewhere between these two extremes . In the easy case there isn’t really any skill involved at all. As long as a person is in decent physical shape, it’s possible for just about anyone to climb a rock like this. As the rock gets smoother and the handholds get farther apart and smaller, the climber begins to enter the realm of nuance and finesse. The climber usually must be able to find adequate handholds and footholds, balance on them in often very precarious positions.

SKILLS

HOW TO ROCK CLIMBING 攀岩技巧

Skill and confidence are an unconquered army.

Probably the easiest and safest way to get started in rock climbing today is to go to an indoor climbing facility and take lessons. There you will learn the basic techniques in a safe environment, build your strength and skills, and meet other climbers. Any major city will have two or three climbing gyms in the area. Once you understand the basics, you can find a partner and head out to start on easy sport routes. As you gain experience, you can move up to more advanced routes. 现代最简单和最常见的攀岩方式可能就是室内攀岩了。室内攀岩有完全，先进和安全的设施还有教练进行安全和训练指导。初学者建议从室内开始。 Many climbers never move beyond sport climbing because they like the safety and speed of using pre-placed bolts. If you want to try advanced routes, or routes in remote areas, then you can learn how to place protection and try out traditional climbing. In making the jump to traditional climbing, it is essential to find a partner or hire a guide/instructor with traditional climbing experience so that you can learn how to safely place protection yourself. Now you have an idea of how to get started. And, you’ve learned that there are several forms of rock climbing, and that each requires different levels of skill. Strength, stamina and control are integral to mastering the sport. Some other important aspects are the equipment and climbing technique. In the next section we’ll take a look at the equipment and technique involved in sport climbing.

Lead Climbing and Belaying The first climber to climb the route is known as the lead climber. While he/she is climbing, the lead climber is protected by the rope attached to his/her harness. The other end of the rope is held by the second climber, who is known as the belayer. The belayer runs the rope through a belay device attached to his/her harness and feeds rope out as the lead climber rises. The two requires good cooperation. 第一个攀岩的人通常叫做“领导攀岩者。”当他开始的攀岩的时候，他都会绑上安全绳索来保证人身安全。而绳索的另一端会绑在另一个队员身上。

“青少年时期是一个人思想，人格态度，行为，形成的重要阶段。

aintball is a sport in which players compete, in teams or individually, to eliminate opponents by tagging them with capsules containing water-soluble dye and featuring a gelatin outer shell propelled from a device called a paintball marker (commonly referred to as a paintball gun). Paintballs are composed of a non-toxic, biodegradable, water-soluble polymer. The game is regularly played at a sporting level with organized competition involving major tournaments, professional teams, and players. Paintball technology is also used by military forces, law enforcement, para-military and security organizations to supplement military training, as well as playing a role in riot response, and non-lethal suppression of dangerous suspects. Games can be played on indoor or outdoor fields of varying sizes. A game field is scattered with natural or artificial terrain, which players use for tactical cover. Game types in paintball vary, but can include capture the flag, elimination, ammunition limits, defending or attacking a particular point or area, or capturing objects of interest hidden in the playing area.

在这一时期引导他们正确面对压力和挑战，正确地认知社会环境和同龄伙伴，对他们未来的成长至关重要。近年来，由北京团市委协调，各种主题的具有青少年营地特征的活动如雨后春笋，渐次出现。这些活动如星星之火，为首都的青少年特色教育不断增添亮色。” ---常宇共青团北京市委书记

HOW TO WIN A PAINTBALL FIGHT 如何赢一场CS战斗

There are many tips that can improve your game of piantball that don’t require massive amounts of money or new equipment. Each of these ten tips can be used to improve your game without costing any more than you already spend. 1. Move The key to paintball is movement and there’s no better paintball tip than to to learn how to move. You should learn when to move, learn how to move and move all the time.

Whether its woodsball or speedball, the key to victory in almost any paintball situation is to out maneuver your opponent. The best equipment in the world won’t win you a game if you’re out played with better timed movement and superior strategies. 在打真人CS的时候最好的建议就是要学会跑动。你要学会动去哪里，怎么动并且最重要的是一直要动。动起来之后你就会慢慢操纵你的敌人队伍，最终战胜他们。

To many paintball victories. If you know where your opponent is, try to make it so he doesn’t know where you are. If you don’t know where your opponent is, find him as fast as you can.

5. Know What You and Your Equipment are Capable of Doing If you know you can’t shoot worth anything when you run don’t try it in a game. If you know you can’t win a high speed shootout, don’t try. If you know your gun isn’t accurate beyond sixty feet, save your paint. 如果你知道你在跑动过程中没有办法射击，那么在实地战斗中也不要尝试。

6. Don’t Be The Hero Paintball players have a tendency to want to be the star of the show and that often gets them into trouble. If you want occasional individual glory.

THE GREATEST GLORY IS NOT NEVER FALLING BUT RISE AFTER YOU FALL
