For millennia, China was connected to itself and the world beyond, by trails. These footpaths, connected not only places, but people and cultures too. We believe these ancient hiking trails deserve to be remembered. Their stories heard, their culture preserved, their people seen.
GUDAO is more than a hiking experience; it’s our commitment to preserving ancient trails, empowering communities, and creating lasting impact through cultural connection and sustainable development.
This dedication has drawn international recognition, including a feature in National Geographic and a nomination for a Virtuoso Sustainability Award.
