4/ What do you need to prepare when traveling to the mountains?
-Clothes: Mountainous terrain will have a colder climate than the plains and midlands, so bringing long clothes is very important because even in summer the evenings are very cold. Please check the weather to prepare appropriate clothing. A small tip is to pack your clothes in sets. For a 3-day trip, you should bring 4-5 sets for the day, 2 sets for sleeping, and 2-3 warm jackets depending on the weather.
-Shoes: Traveling in the mountains you will have to move a lot, so bringing sports shoes is most convenient. You should bring 2 pairs of shoes, a waterproof pair for when it rains and a cool pair for when it’s hot.
-Some other necessary items:
+ Money and identification: You should bring some cash and an ATM card for protection. If you stay at a hotel, remember to prepare your identification documents to check in at the hotel.
+ Phone and camera: 2 indispensable items in every trip. If you don’t have a camera, try to bring a phone with good and beautiful photography functions, and prepare a backup charger if you have one.
+ Snacks: You should bring some snacks along the way
+ Medicine: You should bring a small medical box containing bandages, red medicine, fever medicine, stomach ache medicine…
+ If you go in a group, you should prepare a uniform shirt or hat to take commemorative photos. You can prepare school supplies, books, pens, rulers, warm clothes… for ethnic children as gifts. In addition, you should prepare a few clean plastic bags to store wet clothes/shoes.

5/ Should children in highland areas be given money or candy when traveling?
Usually, tourists bring candy, warm clothes, and sometimes some money for the children they meet on the street. This comes from our hearts. But sometimes unintentionally it causes consequences that we did not foresee. Children will not like to go to school, they will only like to go out on the street to ask for candy and money from tourists. This not only affects the children themselves, but also destroys the inherently clear tourism image of mountainous ethnic groups. Please don’t turn them into beggars.
So if you want to give your children something, it’s best to give them school supplies and books. The best are the books you’ve read. When stopping for a break, you meet the children, discuss with them the content of the book, arouse excitement and remember to tell them to pass it around to read.
