Yangshuo of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is the most popular rock climbing destination in China, famous for its dramatic karst mountain landscape and outdoor activity.
Liu Yongbang and Xiao Ting are a couple, better known as Abond and Ting. They are the elite rock climbers coaching the children here. Engaged in this sport for more than 15 years, the couple are always committed to promoting the development of rock climbing in China.
After rock climbing made its first appearance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Abond and Ting felt more confident about the prospect of climbing industry in this picturesque region. As the local government stick to the concept of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", Yangshuo will attract more climbing enthusiasts home and abroad to challenge themselves as well as enjoy the ecological beauty.
