Trip To Gongga

It is 2023 summer when my father and I decided to go on a multi-day hike in ,Sichuan—the middle province in China.

I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all while I was hiking in the first, day, but I did got a headache and vomited due to altitude illness. I drank lots of warm water at night and obviously it wasn’t a big deal as next morning I climbed as quick as I was in the first day.

The most unforgettable memory during the trip is obtaining clean water in the second day night. We had to find water source to collect water to drink, but the lake from our camping site was too far away, so I had to collect water in the near pond which contained lots of garbage! I really wish rubbish on the route would all disappear in the future, which means all backpackers have the responsibility of preventing this.
