World Heritage Outdoor Exploration: Survival Skills in the Wulong Karst

Skip the tourist-trail crowds and go deep into Wulong, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, for a hands-on wilderness survival course in real karst canyons and thousand-year-old caves. Led by experienced bilingual instructors, you'll learn real wilderness survival skills — sourcing and purifying water, making fire, finding food, building shelter, and signalling for rescue — set in one of the most dramatic karst landscapes on earth.
