Imagine gripping sun-warmed granite as Beijing's autumn wind whispers through Jingling Valley – this is where Yan Haobai, better known as Xiao Bai, redefines adventure. The 28-year-old climber has turned this rugged landscape into a viral sensation, capturing heart-pounding ascents through his helmet-mounted camera.
"Every hold is a conversation with the mountain," Xiao Bai told NewspaperAmigo.com during a break between climbs. His latest video series shows dizzying 80-meter vertical routes, complete with close-ups of chalk-dusted fingers and triumphant summit smiles 😅✌️.
Jingling Valley's secret? A unique mix of:
🧗 Technical crack systems
🌄 Panoramic views of the Great Wall
🚇 Easy metro access from downtown Beijing
Local outdoor groups report a 40% surge in climbing course sign-ups this year, with many citing Xiao Bai's videos as inspiration. For the Asian diaspora community, it's become a digital bridge to China's growing outdoor culture – one vertical meter at a time.
