Mill - the starting point for self-help travel and outdoor sports - mill

The mill website was established in June 2000. The prototype is a discussion version of the “Shenzhen Mill” opened by a group of Shenzhen friends in the fun park. The early outdoor enthusiasts first appeared in the Sina Travel Forum, dubbed the "Xiantan", and the kimchi themselves naturally became blind. It is felt that the scorpion in Shenzhen is harder than the scorpion in other places, and the gathering place of Shenzhen scorpion is named as the grinding mill.

The purpose of establishing a place like a mill at first was to have a place for people who like to travel and to communicate with people who share a common interest. Whether you have a free time plan to go out and want to find a partner, or pull back and have a new experience to share with others, you can go to the mill to sip. After more than ten years of development, the mill provides more and more user services, from a simple discussion version to a community that provides services such as forums, circles, event partners, photo albums, and second-hand equipment transactions.

The so-called self-help travel and outdoor sports do not have a strict general definition. In the mill, self-service travel (or backpacking) refers to the journey of self-planning routes and schedules. This form has arisen in Western countries and is a completely different travel experience than the traditional tour guide + tour group. It is more popular with young people who love freedom and are willing to explore novel destinations. Regarding outdoor sports, the National Sports Management Center defines: Outdoor sports is a group of sports with a nature of adventure or expedition in a natural environment (non-dedicated venue). Outdoor sports currently include hiking, hiking, cycling, skiing, swimming and other common-level activities. It also includes high-altitude climbing, rock climbing, caving, river gliding, snorkeling, diving and other extreme sports with certain specialties and dangers. . Various outdoor sports are now a daily leisure and exercise option for many young people.

The mill is a platform for self-help travel and outdoor sports. In addition to discussing the functions of communication, the mill also provides the function of publishing information partners. These features are open to all registered users, but need to clearly follow the principles of self-help and non-profit. Participants in the event should aim to enjoy travel or outdoor sports. In normal self-help activities, there should be no sponsors who use the activity organization as a profession (or a second occupation, a third occupation, etc.). The mill does not welcome any organizers who organize their teams in the name of self-help, collect “organization fees”, or use their rebates in the course of activities to benefit themselves.

AA self-service activity requirements: All participants in the activity share the activity of the activity and share the travel expenses payable by each person (special emphasis: the event sponsor must also share the travel expenses). Activities are spontaneously organized, self-care, and at their own risk.

For outdoor projects that require certain technical assistance and support (mainly high-altitude mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, caving and other technical outdoor sports), the mill supports legal business organizations with relevant professional qualifications to organize profitable activities. . Such activities require explicit and detailed charging standards before the trip and may not be named “self-help”.
