An old poet once said: “�e old mountains are great men, upright, silent, arms folded, examining the world in their own way.�ey have seen empires come and go, changes to entire civilisations and their falls, stars suspended over their chests.�ey are great books, full of stories, but are not only stones and monuments.”�is autumn, we welcome you to the kingdom of the �ve sacred mountains: China. Beyond its fairy-tales and its mysteries, Hiking on the Moon o�ers you a gentle trip through the Middle Kingdom.

5QUESTIONS À
A N T O I N E B O I S S E T
安全和后勤是一名中级登山向导的基本工作任务之一。但是此外还有许多其它后续任务。在山地跋涉是与他人分享和交
流的理想机会。如果要我总结，我会说，我的工作主要包括向人们介绍山岳的丰富文化传统，不管是自然风景还是历史
人文方面的。这工作有点像大杂烩；跟每个人都要说点什么。团队徒步旅行也是美妙的友谊活动！
我的童年就是跟家人在山间行走中度过，这绝对影响了我的职业生涯选择。登山显然就是我最大的爱好。徒步、探险、
理解大山并与其他人分享大山将成为我毕生的工作。这份工作的独立性完全在于让我能保持与大山的联系。然而，也有
一些限制条件和规则，另外还有经济方面因素。但我就是喜欢这种感觉：沿着一条小路走下去，跟随它走到我想去的地
方。这就是这份工作的魅力所在。
我认为一名MMG基本上不是一份专业性的工作。因为每个团队都有多种多样、千差万别的需求。不过这完全没有坏处，
因为我就是对任何事物都感兴趣！而且，不管怎样，在大山里，一切事物都是息息相关的。如果要我选择一项专长，那
就是猎鸟，或者是猛禽：雄鹰、勇敢的猎鹰等。我尝试组织专门的行走活动来寻找它们。同时我还跟一个朋友合作，他
在我们的村子Les Contamines-Montjoie里出租驴子。我还发现发动孩子们徒步行的最好方式就是让他们在有土拨鼠出没的
山区行走！这份工作的伟大之处在于：你可以不断调整适应所有人的需要，一次未知的、非常规路线的远足或一次不同
寻常的环勃朗峰徒步行。当你应对各类需要的时候，没有固定的惯例。
所有人都需要，这是肯定的！（大笑）。徒步行走、在山中探索的风景和主题丰富多样，因此我们可以提供订制的旅
行，以满足从初级到专业级徒步者的所有需求。我们可以满足非常具体的需求。而且如果我在某个地区不那么胜任向导
工作，我会推荐胜任的同事。举个最近的例子吧，当我跟随一名专业摄影师监督其摄影路线的时候，遇到一个连续20年
坚持进山的家庭。后来他们问我，是否愿意带他们走一次非常规徒步行，这是他们一直梦寐以求却不敢尝试的。同样，
我确信，如果有更多机会跟其他MMG一起出行，我将发现更多地方并学到更多东西。
工作的时候，我大部分时间都沿着人行小路走。所以如果是自己一个人，我喜欢走非常规路线，直接上山或下山。最
后，小路只能通往极少数的山峰和地区，因此还有许多其它地方有待发现。我喜欢探索偏远而又原生态的地方。你会遇
到比人还多的鸟儿和岩羚羊。其中有些地方会给我未来的徒步行带来灵感，另外一些则仍然是秘密，只有我才知道。我
还喜欢跟上萨瓦省自然保护区的管理员一起工作，帮忙盘点和监测动物和植物，从而加深我对山岳的了解。而且我还喜
欢跟朋友和家人们分享我去过的地方。
31岁的安东尼 博瓦赛疯狂热衷于大自然和与人交流。一方面，他在Quechua担任销售助理，同时监督鞋类的测试。另一方面，他是一位MMG，即中级登山向导。来自法国上萨瓦省的安纳西的安东尼，于2006年取得了向导资格。在过去十多年里，他一直生活在勃朗峰脚下的一个小山村，Les Contamines-Montjoie。他跟我们讲述了他与山地运动有关的工作。

But lots of other things soon take over. Trekking in the mountains is the perfect opportunity for sharing and meeting others. If I had to sum up, I would say that my job consists primarily of introducing others to the rich cultural tradition of the mountains, both in terms of landscape and nature, as well as the historical, cultural and human dimension. It's a bit of a hotchpotch; there's something for everyone. Group hikes are also wonderfully friendly occasions!
2 - W h at m a d e y o u w a n t t o b e c o m e a M M G ?I spent my childhood walking in the mountains with my family and that, most de�nitely, had an impact on my choice of career. �e mountains are obviously my great passion. Trekking, exploring, understanding and sharing the mountains with others will be my life's work. �e independent nature of this job is completely in keeping with the freedom I associate with the mountains. However, there are constraints and rules associated with the profession and then there's the �nancial aspect. But what I like is the feeling that I'm following a path which is leading me where I want to go. It's the charming thing about the job.
3 - H av e y o u a n y p a r t i c u l a r s p e c i a l i s m ? D o y o u o r g a n i z e t h e m e d w a l k s ?I think that a MMG is primarily a non-specialized job. Since the needs of each group are numerous and varied. And that's all to the good, as I'm interested in lots of things! And, anyway, everything's connected in the moun-tains. If I were to have a specialism, it would be birds, and particularly birds of prey: magni�cent eagles, intrepid falcons etc. I organize special walks to try to �nd them. I also work with a friend who rents donkeys in my village, Les Contamines-Montjoie. I've found that there's no better way of getting children to walk to those mountainous areas inhabited by marmots! A great thing about the job is that you're constantly adapting to meet everyone's needs: an undiscovered, o�-the-trail hike or an unusual trek around Mont-Blanc. When you're dealing with all sorts, there's no set routine.
4 - D o y o u o f f e r p e r s o n a l i z e d w a l k s , ta i l o r e d t o y o u r c l i e n t s ' n e e d s ? W h o w o u l d y o u r e c o m m e n d h i r e a M M G t o g o w a l k i n g ? Everyone, of course! (laughter). �ere are so many di�erent walks, landscapes and themes to explore in the mountains, that we can o�er trips tailored to meet all needs, from the novice to the experienced trekker. We can meet very speci�c demands. And if I'm not competent in a particular area, I will refer to a colleague who is. So, to give you the most recent example, while I was supervising a photography course with a professional photogra-pher: I met a family who'd been coming to the mountains for 20 years. A�erwards, they asked me if I would I take them on an o�-the-trail hike, something they had always dreamed of but never dared to do. Also, I'm sure that if I had more opportunity to go out with other MMGs, I'd discover many more areas and learn much more.
5 - F i n a l ly, w h at k i n d o f w a l k e r a r e y o u w h e n y o u ' r e n o t w e a r i n g y o u r M M G h at ?When I'm working I spend most of the time trekking along footpaths, so alone, I like to go o�-the-trail, straight up or down, or "drè dans le pentu" as they say in Haute-Savoie. Finally, only a tiny minority of peaks and regions are accessible by path and so there are so many other places to discover. I like to explore secluded, sometimes unpopular, places. You come across more birds and chamois than men. Some of the places give me ideas for future walks and others remain a secret, known just to me. I also like working with the wardens of the Haute Savoie Nature Reserves, helping to create inventories and monitoring the �ora and fauna, to improve my knowle-dge of the mountains. And then I like to share all the places I've discovered with friends or family.
31-year-old, Antoine Boisset, is mad keen on nature and meeting people. On the
one hand, he's in charge of professional sales for Quechua where he also super-
vises shoe testing. On the other: He is a MMG, Mid-range Mountain Guide. He is
originally from Annecy in Haute-Savoie and qualified in 2006. For the last 10 or
so years, he's been living in Les Contamines-Montjoie, a small village nestled at
the foot of Mont Blanc. He tells us about his work on the mountain trails.

解密/Decoding
The legend recounts that one day, the Goddess San Sheng Mu was walking in the forest. She ran into a young mortal named Liu Xiang. They fell in love and, time and time again, Liu Xiang begged the goddess to marry him. San Sheng Mu ended up by accepting. A son, Chen Xiang, was born out of their union.
But the Goddess had a brother, a three-eyed god called Erlang Shen, who watched them from the sky. Erlang Shen was furious to see his younger sister violating the celestial laws by marrying a mere mortal. In his anger, he decided to imprison her inside Mount Hua, one of China's sacred mountains.
So, Chen Xiang went to Mount Hua to find his mother. He was still only a child and half immortal. There he learnt martial arts from a Taoist Master. After several years, once the boy had become accomplished, his master presented him with a magic axe. Then the son set out to challenge his uncle and to win. By using his axe to cleave through Mount Hua, he was finally able to free his mother.
And this explains why today, on the west side of Mount Hua, in the Province of Shaanxi, there is a huge rock split into three parts. It is evidence of Chen Xiang's path when he went to rescue his mother, the goddess, San Shengu Mu.
華山THE LEGEND OF MOUNT HUA
Mountains and religion are inseparable in China. In days gone by, the five sacred mountains were places of ritual for emperors who came to honour the gods. Inherited from Taoism, they have remained cult places which today are visited by large numbers of tourists. Five, to correspond with the five elements, as well as the five Chinese cardinal points: north, south, east, west. And the centre. Five famous summits, full of history and spirituality.
山和宗教在中国密不可分。在过去，五岳是帝王祭祀上天的地方。延续了
道教传统，它们一直以来都是祭祀场所，如今吸引着无数游客参观。五，
对应着五行以及中国的五大基本方位：东、西、南、北、中。这五座高峰
蕴含着丰厚的历史和灵气。
Wu Yue. This is the Chinese name given to China's group of five sacred mountains It was on these mountains that that emperors of ancient dynasties made sacrifices to offer to the Sky and the Earth. Ceremonies that symbolised their taking of the throne in accordance with God's will.
The sacred mountains are imposing. As if they have emerged from the ground in a straight line. Even though they are not the country's highest mountain, they stand tall and upright, dominating the plains and basins. Every one is unique, every one has its own special landscape.
Southern Heng mountain – Nan Heng Shan / The elegant one
This is the "southern mountain", situated in the Hunan province. In reality it is actually a chain of
mountains. 150 kms long, it includes 72 peaks and reaches a height of 1360m. It is the smallest of the
five sacred mountains. According to legend, Zhurong, one of the gods of fire, lived and died there. As
far as its reputation of elegance is concerned, the "southern mountain" owes this to the gracious
landscapes that surround it. Not far from the Xiangjiang river, and lush forests.
Le mont Hengdu SUDL’élégant
Nan Heng Shan
南岳衡山
Northern Heng Mountain / Bei Heng Shan / The extraordinary one
Northern Heng mountain is located within the Shanxi province, in the north-east of
China. Very straight, at the top of a deep valley, in an area that is difficult for
transport to access, this one that is nicknamed "Northern mountain" has two summits.
One with an altitude of 2190m and the other 2017m. Both are separated by a passage
of strategic value during the time of the great battles of the Ming dynasty
(1368-1644): the Golden Dragon pass.
Renowned for the peaceful atmosphere that reigns here, the architectural treasures
that are the "hanging temples" nestle in the shade of the Northern Heng mountain.
Like for example the Monastery of Xuankong Si which clings to the side of the
mountain. Built high up to escape from the rising waters of the river down below,
the construction dates from the 7th century. Today it is the region's second most
important tourist site.
恒山
Mount Tai is "the eastern mountain", located in the Shandong province. A symbol of dawn
and renewal, the first to have been proclaimed a "sacred mountain", it has always been
the most revered of the five, the one that the emperors absolutely had to visit once
during their reign. With an impressive change in altitude, from 150m to 1545m at the
Emperor of Jade peak, its summit, Mount Tai has a grandiose feel. Confucius himself
exclaimed these words on climbing to its summit: "The world is small!" Classified as a
UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, it is a popular destination for millions of visitors
from all around the world every year. Sometimes visitors take one of its two cable cars
up to the summit, spend the night in a hotel at altitude and admire the famous sunrise
from Mount Tai.
泰山
Hua Shan
Mount Hua – Hua Shan / The vertiginous one
Mount Hua, the "western mountain", the most abrupt of the five sacred mountains. To
such an extent that it is said that the only way to the summit, is by climbing it. Mount
Hua is located within Shaanxi province. And reaching a height of 2155m, at the Luoyan
peak, also known as the "southern peak". A vertiginous and well-preserved site. Since
1982, the landscaped grounds around Mount Hua have been listed as a "national park".
華山
Song Shan
Mount Song – Song Shan / The deep one
Lastly, Mount Song, the "central mountain", with in the Henan province. Deep, because
of the historic and cultural heritage that it represents. The region is in fact home to
a huge number of Buddhist and Taoist temples and monasteries. With its three peaks,
Mount Song towers above the Yellow river, the second longest river in the country. It
reaches a height of 1512m. Lastly, as the central mountain, it is also the symbol of the
Earth.

我与摄影的初次结缘是源于非常自然的机会。记得童年时的我已经开始偷偷藏起爸爸收集的相机，在我
老家周围拍照片。是好奇心引领我尝试摄影。而如今我再也无法离开我的相机。
从那以后，我的旅行和邂逅不断给这一爱好添柴加火。尤其是在尼泊尔和西藏，宏伟的野外空间蕴藏的
诗意深深打动了我，激发了我的灵感。简单、纯粹、没有矫饰的真实之美以及在那遇到的善良淳朴的人
们，凡此种种我都想要用胶片记录下来。
我从没专门学习或对某种类型的摄影感兴趣。我对什么都感兴趣，并且只听从我的直觉。记录下一个时
刻、一个场景、一种感觉，就是我主要的动机。今年，我有幸从事摄影工作。这一经历使我得以通过一
种不同的方式用胶卷来处理图像。最终我从动态影像中享受到很多乐趣，但是并没有放弃摄影。
每个人总会记得他的第一台相机，而我的第一台相机是一台拍立得
600。

IS THE BEARDED VULTURE GRADUALLY REBUILDING ITS NEST?
Ecofriendly
: Julien Heuret
« »
«His Royal Highness, the vulture !»Perhaps you've already been lucky enough to see one? A �ne and slender silhouette with long, fringed feathers at the end of its wings and a maximum wingspan of 3 metres ... �e bearded vulture disappeared at the beginning of the 20th century. However, here it is
making a gradual comeback, thanks to e�orts to reintroduce the species.
2.45 2.85
5-7 1.1 1.5
His Royal Highness, the vulture!The bearded vulture is one of 4 species of large vultures that you find in Europe. It is easily reco-gnizable thanks to the goatee beard at the base of its beak, its diamond shape tail, its plumage of contrasting colours and its yellow eyes with red surround. The red of its eyes varies in intensity depending on how excited or stressed it is. And its impressive wingspan: between 2.45m and 2.85m from the tip of one wing to the tip of the other! Males and females both look the same: grey wings, a black band at the bottom of the neck, legs feathered right down to the claws, and a white-orangey head, stomach and chest. The ochre tint varies from one bird to another. To colour its feathers, the bearded vulture regularly takes mud baths, rich in iron oxide. This is its way of showing that it is superior to other fellow creatures. The young have more subdued plumage and a less streamlined silhouette. The weight of an adult raptor varies from 5-7 kg and its size can vary between 1.1m and 1.5m.The bearded vulture is at the top of the food chain. It is a carrion eater and feeds mainly on dead animals. It helps clean the environment and plays an essential role in the ecosystem.
Master of the peaksThis bird likes mountainous regions. The terrain must be steep-sided with cliffs where it can nest. The bird flies over the rocks onto which it drops its largest bone, smashing it into small pieces so it can be easily swallowed. Which has earned it the name "bone breaker."
A BIRD OFILL OMEN
"Seriously threatened with extinction." These are the terms that the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) used to describe the bearded vulture. In fact, this bird is one of the most endangered species in Europe. This is mostly because of its fragmented population which creates groups that are too isolated, from a genetic perspective. But also because of its dreadful repu-tation; it was often blamed for decimating herds of animals and even carrying off children. Result: In the early 20th century, it disappeared completely from the Alps and was only found in the Pyrenees and the mountains of Corsica.
PLAN TO SAVE THEBEARDED VULTURE
In 1970s, the bearded vulture was reintroduced into all the countries along the Alpine Arc, thanks to an initiative by the Foundation for the Conser-vation of Vultures. A breeding network was set up and the small birds born in captivity were released into the wild. Fifteen or so years later, the species is making a comeback. 187 young birds have been reintroduced in the intervening years, up until 2012. The first successful reproduction in the wild occurred in 1997. Since then, 20 pairings have been counted in the Alps and there have been 83 births. Today, there are a total of around 150 birds living in the wild.
In the French Alps, the Plan to Save the Bearded Vulture is led by, amongst others, the Conserva-toire naturel des espaces de Haute-Savoie (Conservatory of nature sights in Haute-Savoie), called Asters (the name of an Alpine flower). Asters, which was founded about a dozen years ago, also plays a leading role in raising awareness and educating the public, as well as advising the community on environmental matters.

Life goes on. The "new" bearded vultures in the Alps are gradually increasing in number. But we
can take nothing for granted. There are still too few of them and reproduction, which is naturally
a slow and precarious process, renders the species even more fragile. Not to mention their sensiti-
vity to environmental pollutants. Since 2010, a National Action Plan has been in force, valid until
2019 and approved by the Ministry for Ecology, Sustainable Development and Energy, and suppor-
ted by the Rhône-Alpes department, amongst others, in partnership with Asters, the League of
Protection for Birds, the Vanoise, Écrins, Mercantour and Vercors national parks and even the
National Office for Hunting and Wild Animals. Objective: to develop the area of geographic distribu-
tion for bearded vultures and increase the number of reproductive couples.
On a worldwide scale, the Foundation for the Conservation of Vultures plans to introduce a popula-
tion of bearded vultures to the western Palearctic (from North Africa to Turkey and the Mediter-
ranean basin) The idea is to link this population with small groups of bearded vultures already
present in the Alps and Pyrenees. So the future is looking promising for the bearded vulture. But
this species will nevertheless remain vulnerable for many years to come.

The bearded vulture in China
You will also find the bearded vulture in the Middle
East and Iran and as far afield as China.
You can occasionally spot them in the North-West
province of the Yunnan.
Approximately 200 specimens live on the Indo-Chinese
border, in the Himachal Pradesh state.

Apart from pollution, what threatens the survival of the bearded vulture today?
There are several threats facing the population of bearded vultures. But the first remains
the fragmented populations in Europe which creates genetic isolates.
The direct causes of death, such as collisions with aerial cables, power lines or ski-lifts,
poisoning and poaching, are all the more damaging if they affect adult birds.
The effect of human interference can reduce reproductive success, which is already, natu-
rally, quite low!
Will this species one day be genuinely "out of danger"?
From a demographic point of view, the population of bearded vultures is autonomously
viable. But genetic considerations are driving the continuation of planned releases in
order to encourage diversity. Today we consider the Alpine reintroduction programme to be
a success. And we believe that we are on the right path, even if the population is still quite
small in size. The project is now refocusing its efforts on conservation. We are trying to
address the threats that I have mentioned, as the future population is dependent on the
natural population. But it is important that the death rate does not rise, particularly
amongst adults. That could undo the last 20 years of work on the reintroduction pro-
gramme.
What advice would you give to someone wishing to spot a bearded vulture in the
wild?
Paradoxically, the bearded vulture is quite easy to spot. In addition, when away from its
breeding ground, it is actually rather curious. Small groups of bearded vultures are star-
ting to appear in the Alps: in the North-West Alps (Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Valais and the Aosta
valley) and in the central Alps (Engadine, Stelvio) where you'll find the majority of pairings.
Often, before you even see the bird, you'll notice its shadow hovering above the cliffs. You
can mostly recognize it from its silhouette. A small tip: when you hear the alarm cry of the
marmot, during the spring or summer months, there is a strong chance that an eagle, its
sworn enemy, or a para glider are nearby. But sometimes, it may also be our bearded friend!

I LIKE : climbing and scuba diving, two sports
where you can completely connect with nature. I
also like reading, writing and travelling. In fact,
when I'm not travelling, I spend most of my time
reading. When I travel (I've already been to more
than twenty odd countries throughout the world)
I'm always excited about exploring my new
surroundings. When I come home, I put everything
down in writing: the journey, the place, what I felt...
Travelling is an enriching experience which fills me
with positive energy!
I DON’T LIKE : large shopping centres, cooking
(although I love eating well!) and society life.
AN ANECDOTE : I always come across animals
when out trekking. One night, I saw a dingo on
Fraser island, in Australia. I saw a snow fox in
Tibet, 5,200 m high. Wild camels in the Kyzyl-
Koum desert in Kazakhstan. And ibexes on Mont
Blanc.

Why do you like trekking ?
When I'm trekking in the mountains, what I like is quite simply the feeling of freedom and relaxation. �e air's fresh and everything feels new. I walk and I think...
Where do you like to go trekking in China? And why ?
In Sichuan and Tibet. Mostly because there are lots of high peaks (above 3,500m) there. It's a sport where you compete against yourself. It's hard work but then you're rewarded by magni�cent views of snow-capped mountains. I really like walking in the mountains in the snow. I like it so much that this summer, I went on an expedition to Elbrouz, the highest mountain in Europe. We set out from the North West of China, following the silk road, through the desert, across some of China's high mountain ranges, to Kazakhstan and Russia until we �nally arrived in Turkey.
If you were to go to France hiking, what place(s) would you like to explore ?
In fact, I've already been there when I did the Tour du Mont-Blanc. And I also climbed Mont Blanc! It was an unforgettable experience! If I were to go back, I would do it again, no doubt about it!

Why do you like trekking?
When I was younger, I was a member of a pot holing club in the Pyrenees. I've always loved these mountains, circums-tances brought me back here three years ago. Since then, I haven't stopped and trekking has become very important in my life. Sometimes I go to the mountains just to spend a night in the tent, to surrender myself to the immensity of the landscape and fall asleep under the starlit skies, which only shine this bright in the mountains. For me, trekking is a way of �nding myself and relaxing away from my work. It's always great to be alone or with friends in the Pyrenees, in these magni�cent mountains, discovering their wild and untamed side and trying out new challenges.
Where do you like to go trekking in France and why?
I mostly go trekking in the Pyrenees, from the easternmost part to west (but most o�en in the Ariège because it's close) and I'm always on the look out for the most beautiful landscapes. �is mountain range o�ers a diverse landscape with di�erent degrees of di�culty which makes each trek exciting and di�erent every time. Generally I like to set out to �nd a lake which gives a sense of purpose to my hikes. My itineraries are dictated by the height I want to climb. If I had the time and the means, I'd also go trekking in the Alps so I could climb peaks over three thousand metres.
If you were to go to trekking in China, what places would you like to explore?
I don't know China at all. But if I had the chance to go trekking in China, I'd like to go to the Tibetan border and explore some of the vast, spiritual mountains, like the �ree Sacred Mountains in Daocheng, in Sichuan province. I'd also love to catch a glimpse of Everest; it's got such mythical status amongst mountain lovers!
当我年轻的时候，我曾经是庇里牛斯山洞穴探险俱乐部的一员。我一直很热爱这些大山，但三年前因为情

庇里牛斯山，在这些壮美的山间探索大山野性未驯的一面，并尝试新的挑战，永远是一件很棒的事。
我大多去比利牛斯山徒步，从最东部走到西部（但大多情况下在阿列日省，因为这里比较近），而且我一

我一点都不了解中国。但是如果我有机会去中国徒步，我想去西藏边境，探索广袤而富有灵气的山峰，如
四川省稻城的三神山。我还想看一眼珠穆朗玛峰；它在登山爱好者心目中拥有神话般的地位！

AIR TECH WARM /EQUIPMENT TEST
This winter Quechua is launching a new, high-tech undergarment which combines comfort and performance when trekking: the AirTECH Warm T-shirt. Eric David, a mountain leader, tested it for Hiking On The Moon.
>>>
TESTED DURING 3 MOUNTAIN EXCURSIONS> A DAYTIME TREK, 2,500M+ ALTITUDE, GOOD WEATHER, STRONG WIND, 22°C> AN EARLY MORNING TREK, 2,200M ALTITUDE, DECIDEDLY COOL FOR FIRST TWO HOURS, 15°C > AN EVENING TREK, 2,200M ALTITUDE, AVERAGE WIND, 17°C
AirTECH Warm is also available in a female version, with round collar and breathable zones specially designed for the female form.
VIDEO AIRTECH WARM
REsults
The first time you wear the AirTECH Warm, what really surprises you, is the extremely airy, stretch fabric (which regains its shape after stretching). At first, you feel as if you've "got nothing on your back." But you quickly get used to it. Once you slip on a second, windproof layer, or you put on a rucksack.
This is because of the different pressure on different parts of the skin. Between the top of sleeves, made from traditional breathable fibres, and the bottom of the back. And similarly between the sides and the armpits.
Once you get used to it, you understand the rationale behind this rather high-tech item of clothing. The T-shirt performs best when worn with a good, well-ventilated rucksack, with or without a second layer (provided this is also breathable). There is a different level of protection between the front of the T-shirt, made from traditional fabric, which is exposed to the wind and cold. And the back, the part of the body usually best protected from the elements, which of course, becomes over-protected (and therefore too hot) when wearing a rucksack.
AirTECH Warm is clearly designed for moderate to intense mountain activities, in cold weather. But in winter, when you stop for a break, you will also need to wear a fleece or micro-polar layer. This is important to offset the loss of heat due to the fabric at the back of the T-shirt.
The post-use rinse test yielded some interesting results. Simply rinse in cold water (e.g. mountain stream) and squeeze (but do not wring dry); the back of the T-shirt, the sides and underarms, dry extremely quickly (approximately 3 minutes). Compared with 15 minutes for the rest of the fabric (dried in the sun, with light breeze). Overall, it's ideal when trekking with a bivouac, provided that there is no snow, so that it can be rinsed at the end of the day and worn again the next day.
If you're trekking during the day, and it's quite warm, of course you'll feel damp although the well ventilated back greatly reduces the amount of moisture. But all you need to do is sit for a while, with your back in the sun, and it will dry very quickly.
The neck, which is lined in breathable fabric, is straight and rather high-cut (5 cm). This is particularly useful when in "cold weather" mode. At the front, the neck is almost "hermetically sealed" so as to keep the warm air close to the body. If you get too hot, the long zip at the front provides useful occasional ventilation.
In my opinion, this item must be worn close to the body. The XL model which was tested appears to conform to standard sizing.
AirTECH Warm is both a warm and high-tech T-shirt to be used in temperatures below 15/17°. A T-shirt which is well suited to trekking in autumn, winter and spring.
I N N O V A T I O NAirTECH Warm fabric changes when exposed to perspiration. The surface, in contact with the skin, shrinks thereby reducing the sensation of feeling cold after exertion.

The Huang Mountains (Huang Shan), which are called
the "Yellow Mountains," are located to the east of
Shanghai, in the province of Anhui. There, we
discovered many unusual aspects about trekking in
China: Lots of tourists and steep stairs going from
the top to the bottom of the mountain. Without
these stairs, it would be impossible to maintain the
pathways. The slope is too steep and the terrain and
climate make the ground unstable. The permanent
humidity causes rain and mist which alternate with
sunny spells, emphasizing the mystical feel of these
mountains. This extremely popular site isn't one of
China's holy mountains but it is still one of the ten
biggest tourist attractions in the country. Every
day, thousands of people climb the steps and take
the cable cars to enjoy the most impressive views.

自从80年代末开放以来，中国已经成为世界舞台上占据主导地位的国家。如今，中国是仅次于美国的世界第二大经济体。东部沿海的城镇正经历着
前所未有的爆炸式增长。这个拥有13亿人口的国家如今被称为“世界工厂”。
自2008年奥运会以来，世界得以对这个国家进行瞩目和探索，并了解其民众。它随后的发展也相当非比寻常；如今正拓展到内陆，向西部发展。
然而在云南仍然可以找到中国保存最好的一些秘密。在这个国家的56个民族中，有36个少数民族生活在云南省的山区。这里位于中国西南边陲，与缅甸、老挝和越南接壤，日常生活还没有受到经济发展的影响。在这些乡
村漫步时，你将会对十多年前中国的生活有所了解。你也会顿时领悟到，
都市生活的狂热节奏已经逐渐拉开了我们与大自然间的距离。
Since China opened up at the end of the 1970s, it has become a dominant country on the world stage. Today it is the second largest economic power, just behind the United States. �e cities on the east coast are experiencing an unprecedented explosion of growth. �is nation, with its 1.3 billion inhabitants, is also known as the "workshop of the world."
Since 30 years, the world has been able to see and explore the country and meet its people. Its subsequent development has been quite extraordinary and it is now extending inland, towards the west.
Some of China's best-kept secrets can still be found in the Yunnan. Of the country's 56 ethnic groups, 36 live in the mountainous regions of this province, located in the south-west, bordering Burma, Laos and Vietnam. Daily life here remains una�ected by the economic boom. Strolling through these villages, you get an idea of what life was like in most parts of China a little over two decades ago. And you suddenly realize that the frenetic pace of city life has gradually distanced us from nature.
第一个让你吃惊的是壮美的环境和静谧的气氛。海拔的落差
（最高峰达四千多米）让各种风景和不同的气候条件得以产
生。宁静的稻田在晨雾中慢慢浮现，不远处越南边境县的高峰
印入眼帘。冬天的时候，从十一月到二月期间，森林笼罩着一
层厚厚的雾，就好像一个城堡。然而到了春天，这一景色就被
一片壮丽的桃花所取代。夏天潮湿而多雨，但这却是山中最为
枝繁叶茂的美丽季节，偶尔还会有季节性瀑布。
�e �rst thing that surprises you are the magni�cent surroundings and the serene atmosphere. �e di�erence in altitude (the highest peaks are four thousand metres high), gives rise to a variety of landscapes and di�erent weather conditions. �e quiet paddy-�elds emerge slowly through the morning mist and reveal the high peaks of the Vietnam border, just a stone's throw away. In winter, from November to February, the forests are enveloped in a thick blanket of fog, like a protective city rampart. But, in spring, this is then replaced by magni�cent peach blossom. Summers can be humid with heavy rains but this is when the mountains are at their most lush and beautiful, punctuated by the occasional cascading waterfall.
最令人吃惊的就是这片广袤乡村的居民缓慢的生活节奏、热情好
客以及对细节和色彩同样热爱。瑶族人和苗族、彝族甚至哈尼族
一样，身着色彩丰富的服装，这些服装大多是手工制作并采用天
然产物染色。
在城镇和集市上，每周你都可以看到不可思议的各种色彩。当地
的手工艺者、商人和顾客聚集成奇特而活跃的人群，他们中有些
人来自只能靠步行才能到达的乡村。
Even more surprising is the slow pace of life, the hospitality and the love of detail and colour shared by the inhabitants of this vast country. �e Yao people, like the Miao, the Yi or even the Hani, dress in richly coloured out�ts, mostly made by hand and dyed using natural products.Every week, at local markets in di�erent towns, you see an incredible variety of colours. Local cra�smen, tradesmen and customers, some who have come from villages accessible only by foot, gather in strange, animated groups.
«带给你更多惊喜的是当地人缓慢的生活节奏、热情好客、善于发现色彩的眼睛，以及更多更多的生活细节。»
«It is the locals’ slow pace lives,
hospitality and eye for color and detail
that will amaze you even more.»
尝试用几句中文甚至肢体语言跟顾客们聊几句。给自己
来一份好吃的面点。或者尝一些新鲜水果；有甜甜的芒
果、香蕉、最富异域情调的石榴和火龙果供你选择。吃
完这些感觉有点想吐？测试一下那里售卖的药；大多数
药都是全天然的。牙疼？街角的牙医当然能帮忙！
Try to talk to the customers, using a few words
of Chinese, or just body language. Treat yourself
to a nice pastry or try some fresh fruit; there are
sweet mangos, bananas, the most exotic pomegra-
nates and dragon fruit to choose from. Feeling
slightly queasy after? Test out the various herbs
and medicine sold; most of them are completely
natural. Having a toothache? The dentist on the
corner will certainly be able to help!
几周过后，甚至几天之后，当你探索云南之美时，你会意识到我们已
经离开大自然和我们的本源有多远了。你肯定会渴望回归这片可爱的
土地，还有它不可思议的亮丽色彩、简单的生活方式和真诚的村民。
但是你得快点做决定。因为这里跟中国的其它地区一样，经济继续飞
速发展……
After a few weeks, or only a few days exploring the
beauty of theYunnan, you will realize just how far
we have moved from nature and our origins. You
are bound to want to return to this lovely place
with its incredibly bright colours, simple lifestyle
and genuine people. You may need to decide quickly
however, like everywhere else in the Middle
Empire, economic growth continues at full tilt...

If you say "Let's go walking", what you also mean is "let's wrap up against the cold". There's no "making do" for this, but there is the "three-layer" system! The principle is simple. Firstly, we put on undergarments. Worn next to the skin, they get rid of perspiration so it doesn't make us cold. Then comes the second layer. This is the one that insulates us from the cold thanks to its ability to trap air. And lastly, a third layer goes on, to protect us from bad weather. Hiking on the Moon is interested in the middle part, the "second layer". Because the weather changes quickly in the mountains, and because there are different ways of hiking, find out how to choose the fleece that will be best-suited to what you are going to do. More or less insulating, more or less breathable, with greater or lesser lightness. Some of the many criteria to take into account when making the right choice.
//
// // THE FLEECE, THE KEY ITEM FOR WINTER.We also call it the "intermediary layer", the "thermal layer" or quite simply "layer 2". The second layer provides optimum thermal insulation by trapping air, the best insula-tor there is. Its capacity to do this varies according to the fabric it is made from.
The most well-known of these fabrics is the famous fleece. In all its forms. From micro-fleece, to highloft fleece (shaggy look) and stretch fleece. With one side brushed (smooth side on the outside), both sides brushed (the fibres are shaven in a certain way to achieve a downy appearance both inside and out), are even more possible variations of the fleece, enabling different levels of protection to be achieved. It has many advantages. Affordably priced, easy to look after, gets rid of humidity effectively (thanks to the polyester weave) and quick drying. It is available in different thicknesses, different densities, for a protection level suited to the climate and the level of intensity of activity.
There are many other fabrics available for the intermediary layer. Particularly wadding, light, also easy to look after and can be very technical and easy to compress.
There are also down-filled jackets, filled with duck or goose feathers and down, both of which act as an insulator. Feathers are the best of the second layers as far as thermal insulation is concerned. Choosing a down-filled jacket means choosing the best possible combination of warmth and lightness. Its thermal superiority is explained by the inflating capacity of down-filled clothing, higher and longer-lasting than synthetic fabrics.
However it is recommended to come prepared with a third layer in your bag, ideally a very thin jacket which is both waterproof and breathable (like the Helium Rain jacket). Once feathers are exposed to long periods of rain, they lose their inflating power.
// WHICH FLEECE TO CHOSSE?If you are going walking, the most important thing is knowing where you are going, how long your walk will last and what the weather conditions will be like. Is it going to rain? Will it be windy? Is the weather going to be changeable? And not forgetting the intensity level at which you will be walking. Lastly, always remember that the correct choice of fleece means choosing an item of clothing that will provide you with real thermal comfort, so that you won't be too hot or too cold. You must do everything possible to ensure that your body is working at its normal temperature.
//// FOR A WALK IN COLD WEATHER
It's not worth thinking about breathability because you're probably not going to sweat very much. Opt for a basic fleece with high density, in other words, a thick fleece that has low air porosity but which will protect you from moderate cold.
> Forclaz 400 Hood
//// FOR A MEDIUM-INTENSITY WALK
There may be some hills, the intensity of your pace will change. You will need a breathable product, therefore with lower density. But be aware that you run the risk of being colder when you stop for a break. Which is where carrying a third layer or a softshell in your bag comes in handy.

> Softshell Bionnassay//
Loved by walkers for its repellent qualities, softshell is somewhat of a "magical layer". It offers perfect protection against wind (very often having a wind-cheater membrane), and light rain alike.
//FOR A LONG HIKE WITH A LOT OF CLIMBING.
Favour a fleece with good elasticity so that you don't feel squeezed in and retain some freedom of movement. The more intense your walk gets, the more you will need clothing next to your body. So fleeces with added elastane are the perfect choice for you. Also think about fleeces that come with accessories such as hoods, half-zips, full zips, ventilation zips or even thumb-holds to prevent air getting in while still offering freedom of movement.

// HIGH-TECH //
Reflective technology, for example. Body heat (namely the infra-red emitted by our bodies) is sent back thanks to an aluminium insert. Which enables body temperature to be maintained for longer.
Another innovation: 3D mesh, a honeycombed component that gives excellent air porosity and therefore significantly increases the clothing item's breathability.
Lastly, electro-heating technology is also being tested. This consists of adding hot spots that will then be battery-powered to the clothing item.
// Governed by weather
Just within the country itself, the climate varies greatly from one region to another. So, people don't dress in the same way. When there is an average winter temperature of 3°C in Shanghai, it will be -4°C in Beijing. With a significant difference between the very hot summers and the very cold winters. Result: the reputation of down jackets is sealed, with or without fur-lined hoods, and with very fitted shapes.
In the mountains. But even more so in the city, for day to day life, strolling around or travelling, China has its own unique outdoor trends. More than just a way of dressing, it is full of energy, an array of colours and patterns that you wouldn't find anywhere else.
/TRENDS
//Colourful, really colourful.
In China, the colours of clothes and shoes are bright, even flashy. Light or dark, they win out over black.
//
Patterns are everywhere. In the shapes, the cuts. No plain t-shirts, much too basic. To such an extent that most collections display a design specially designed for the Chinese range. With lots of geometry, checks and prints. Sometimes very obvious, sometimes subtle, there is also a lot of detailing. Right down to the zips, nearly always intricate and colourful. And for perfect coordination, it's not unusual to see parents and children wearing tops of the same colour or a matching one.
//Sun, the enemy
The most noticeable aspect of outdoor collections in China is the omnipresence all year round of anti-UV garments, often with an index of UPF 50 (Ultraviolet Protection Factor), the maximum protection. Because for most Chinese, white is the symbol of beauty. This explains the success of ultra-light jackets: thin, protective, perfect for guarding against the sun's rays. You find it everywhere, in many different forms, in all possible fabric combinations. Accompanied by a multitude of caps, sunhats, bonnets and hats. Not to mention gloves, also popular. But times are changing. Young Chinese girls dare getting sun tanned more and more.
//The spirit of adventure
// GIRL POWER
Whether just strolling around or walking in the country, Chinese girls want to maintain their femininity. Which explains the wide range of fitted and gathered garments. Pastel shades and transparent fabrics against neon backgrounds.

Fortune Cookies
10 :- 1个鸡蛋的蛋清 / 1 egg white- 20克冰糖 / 20g of icing sugar- 15克黄油 / 15g butter- 20克面粉 / 20g �our
:-将蛋白打散，一直打到干硬发泡，加入筛过的冰糖，然后加入融化的黄油。-仔细筛好面粉，将其加入刚刚的混合物中。-搅拌均匀，直到形成光滑而不粘手的面团。
- Beat the egg white to sti� peaks and add the si�ed icing sugar, then the melted butter.- Si� the �our well and add it to the mixture.- Mix it until you have a smooth dough that is not sticky.
LEAVE TO REST FOR 15 MINUTES
…Make your own fortune cookies, China's famous little lucky biscuits! Once opened, a proverb, or maybe even a prediction is revealed...
-在一张涂上黄油的铝箔纸上，将面团分成一个个直径约8cm的圆片。-将圆片放在烤箱内，以180°（煤气刻度 6）烘烤5分钟，直到饼干边缘开始变成金色。-用铲子小心地从铝箔上铲下薄脆一般的饼干。
接下来必须要动作快，赶在饼干变硬之前完成以下步骤。放上一张小纸片，然后将它对折，每张纸上都写了一句引用的话。小心，饼干应当是圆形的。因此粘住的仅仅是周边而不是中间部分。接着将两边互相捏在一起，做成马蹄形，成为你的占卜饼干。
:
- On top of a sheet buttered aluminium foil, cut out small circles of about 8cm in diameter in the dough.- Place them in an oven set to 180° (gas mark 6) for about 5mins, until the edges of the biscuits are just starting to turn gold. - Carefully unpeel the tuile-like biscuits from the foil using a spatula.
You then have to work quickly, before the biscuits harden.Place a small piece of paper with a written quote on top of each one, and fold it in half. Be careful, the biscuits should become rounded. So only stick the edges, not the middle. �en bring the two sides towards each other to give a horseshoe shape to your fortune cookies.
so that they keep their shape, leave them to cool vertically, by placing them downwards in an egg box.
