      Location: Bijie Region is located in the northwest of Guizhou Province. It neighbors Anshun and Guiyang in the south, Yunnan Province in the east and Sichuan Province in the north.

      History: Before the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) established an administrative unit in this area, Bijie was governed by several kingdoms of ethnic minorities.

      Physical Features: Bijie has a typical karst land formation. It is located on the versant from the plateau in southern Yunnan to the hilly area in the central part of the province. The terrain is mountainous and descends from the west to the east.

      Climatic Features: Most parts of the region belong to the subtropical zone, enjoying a humid monsoon climate. The weather is moderate without bitter chilliness in the winter and intense heat in summer. Its rainfall mainly concentrates in the period from May to September.

      When to Go: Bijie is an ideal summer resort. If visitors come to see the flaming azaleas, March and April are the months when the land is aflame with red color. If visitors come for bird-watching, November to April is the best time to visit. Keeping warm should be given the first priority at this time!

      Local Highlights: Bijie is inhabited by many ethnic minorities, so the customs of these ethnic minorities make up the main characteristics of this region. Apart from the Torch Festival of the Yi nationality and the reed panpipe dances of the Miao nationality, visitors can also admire the song-tying, horse racing and folk dances of other ethnic minorities.

      Special Local Products: Lacquer of Dafang County, dictyophora indusiata (Chinese mushroom) of Zhijin County, wine of the Yi ethnic minority

       Scenic Spots:
      Zhijin Cave Scenic Area: Consisting of the Zhijin Old Town, Zhijin Cave, Jiehe Gorge and Hongjia Ferry, this scenic area features one of the most spectacular and noted karst caves in China. Zhijin Cave is regarded as the 'karst museum'.
      Caohai Lake: It is the largest plateau freshwater lake in Guizhou and an ideal habitat for birds, such as the black-necked crane, red-crowned crane, white stork and the white-tailed sea-eagle. The lake is definitely a kingdom of birds.
      One-Hundred-Li Azalea Belt: It is the largest primeval azalea forest in China where some festivals of Yi and Miao ethnic minorities are held.

      Tourist Tips: About three hours are needed to get from Bijie to Guizhou. There are no trains operating in the Bijie Region, so visitors should get to Guiyang, Liupanshui and other cities in Guizhou Province, then take buses to Bijie and scenic spots in the region.

Through coaching, I understand the original "Outward Bound" is a test of will and wisdom, and tap potential and teamwork spirit of the campaign, but its not completely belong to the scope of sports. Because of time constraints, we participated in the project, not many, but it is these small projects, let me come to understand the importance of teamwork. The event, under the arrangement of the coaches being carried out in good order, and each item in the design and arrangement are very creative, especially after the end of each project experience and the experience of all the coaches comments, sum up, and people emotionally, popular inspired. Most of the three projects is the project team, including the Broken Bridge is a project of self-challenge. Experienced in the challenges and stimulation, I was left to more reflection. Broken Bridge, the challenge of personal self-item can be "terrifying" four words to sum up. Project design and organization is very simple, just two disconnect between the wooden planks to do a simple jump back and forth, but it was shelved two wooden planks in the eight, nine-metre high tree. On the ground looking at the rise of the distance between the two wooden boards, I feel very close distance, it seems that can be lightly leaped past. When their chatter Chanweiwei climbed to 8, 9-metre-high scaffold, narrow wooden planks come to the end of Looking at the opposite one another narrow wooden planks, I immediately silly. On the night so far? I wonder what their own, I can jump past? So in the narrow wooden planks, I will rise? Partial will jump? At this moment, the opposite is so far little wooden boards, I could not help but begging for the old coach, "do not jump?" The coach says it is the answer: "No!" He then used the relaxed tone said "Do you think so many Hom life are gone, this is a simple jump Suandeile? think yesterday's" dark, eyes closed "game until the final才被that you are" murderers " , reflecting the quality of your psychological well ah, jump! you must visit. "After listening to coach remarks, I relax a little, but fear still haunting the normal operation of the board to continue the stalemate. Almost 20 minutes later, no way, the coach said, "If we do not jump, I will push you!" I know that the posterior can be no retreat, so will Xinyiguang, Zongshen jumped results secured fallen on the The opposite appears to narrow board, a look back, not far ah, only one meter just…… "Air a small step, a big step in life", in fact, we will be in life often face such challenges, knowledge and skills is only tangible capital, is the will and spirit of the invisible forces. The activities of deep indeed, I think the most important thing is for our future work, study and life to inspire and guide. This is a valuable asset.
