Meet Yan Haobai (aka Xiao Bai) 1 a former international high school art teacher who's swapped her paintbrush for chalk and climbed straight into our hearts 🖌️➡️🧗♀️.
Just a year ago, Xiao Bai walked into an indoor climbing gym. After seven months of training, she’s not just tackling artificial walls 1 she’s conquering real cliffs at Jingling Valley in Beijing's Miyun District 🌄.
Climbing has become her daily dose of adrenaline and self-discovery. "I realized I'm braver than I thought," she says. It's that electrifying mix of focus, strength, and the thrill of reaching new heights 💪✨.
Her journey reflects the spirit of adventure shared by outdoor lovers across the Chinese mainland – and beyond. The message? Take the first step, trust yourself, and let the climb change you. Whether you're in Mumbai, Manila or Kuala Lumpur, rock climbing could be your next epic adventure 🌏🤟.
