THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT!

Apologies to anyone who is disappointed - we hope to have another hike soon.

Join fellow alumni from the Princeton Alumni Association of Beijing, the Yale Club of Beijing, and the Oxford and Cambridge Club Beijing on Saturday 18th May for a day hike to the source of Beijing's water - the Miyun Reservoir. The hike will be led by Chinese-speaking experts from the environmental education NGO Nature University (自然大学, http://www.nu.ngo.cn/) and volunteer translators, who will introduce the reservoir and its environs in the morning, followed by a hike to the nearby mountains in the afternoon. The hike will be mostly easy walking with some slopes, and the Nature University considers the route appropriate for children and the elderly.

Please view these photographs of the stunning scenery we will be visiting:

In the middle of the day we will stop for a pot-luck style shared lunch in the outdoors. Please bring food for yourself and a bit to share with others. Some bread and spreads will be provided by the organisers. Please bring your own water as only one 0.5 L bottle of water will be provided for each participant.

Please wear comfortable walking shoes and layers of clothing. Also don’t forget sunscreen and a hat.

Please also bring your passport or Chinese ID, as we are travelling outside the Beijing municipality.

Tickets are 125 RMB for members of the Princeton Alumni Association of Beijing, paid-up members of the Yale Club of Beijing, and the Oxford and Cambridge Club Beijing, and 150 RMB for guests of members of the Clubs. Please purchase your ticket below. Ticket sales will open on 1st May and terminate at midnight on 10th May.

If you wish to register as a paid-up member of the Yale Club of Beijing and are a Yale graduate, please register at https://yoopay.cn/event/26195638

There is a limit of 45 participants, but the hike will be cancelled if less than 35 participants register, in which case all money will be refunded.

The bus departs on Saturday, 18th May at 08:00 sharp from the Agriculture Exhibition Centre in Beijing. After finishing the hike at about 5 pm, we expect to be back in Beijing by about 19:00, depending on traffic.

In case of an adverse weather forecast, the hike will be re-scheduled for the following Saturday, 25th May. In this case, participants will be notified by Thursday,16th May.

Please be advised that all participants are responsible for their own safety during the hike and should carry their own health insurance. The Clubs or Nature University cannot be held liable for any costs incurred due to medical emergencies.
