In fact, they are picking wild mushrooms in Yunnan Province. Known for its breathing-taking landscapes and diverse ecosystems, Yunnan provides a lot of mushroom picking destinations.
Xu Yaowei is in charge of a mushroom picking project on the app “Youyunnan”. He explained to China Daily that it was launched in early July. There are two types of tour routes. The first mainly aims at tourists from outside the province. Their main demand is for a mushroom hunting experience, focusing on easily finding mushrooms. The second route is for local and high-end customers, and includes a mushroom hunting experience, picking wild tea, enjoying a mushroom feast on a farm, and visiting a local wild mushroom market.
The project is already a success. By the end of August, it conducted nearly 40 one-day wild mushroom collection tours, serving nearly 800 tourists. More than 95 percent of them are from outside the province. Most of them are college graduates and parents with children, ranging from 25 to 35 years old.
One tourist surnamed Li said, “The most unforgettable was undoubtedly our encounter (遇到) with the professional and passionate tour guides.” “Their attractive stories and interactive sessions deepened our understanding and appreciation of the wild mushrooms we encountered,” Li added.
