Hiking, also known as hiking, hiking, hiking or hiking, is not a walk in the usual sense. It can be understood as "trekking" and "trekking over mountains and mountains". It is not a race walking event in sports competitions, but a purposeful long-distance walking exercise in the suburbs of cities, rural areas or Shan Ye. Hiking is also the most typical and common outdoor sport. Because short-distance hiking is relatively simple and does not need to pay too much attention to skills and equipment, it is often considered as a leisure activity.

It is not a very common sport in China. Some people even think that it is not an activity for young people, but a sport that the elderly will like, because hiking is not exciting at all, even boring, which makes many people disdain to try this kind of activity. Therefore, when hiking, most people meet foreigners or middle-aged people, and rarely meet young people. Young people in China do have many misunderstandings about hiking.

In fact, as a sport, hiking has its uniqueness. First of all, hiking doesn't require special skills or time to learn, as long as you have feet and can walk. Of course, hiking must be led by experienced people, otherwise it will be much more dangerous; And inexperienced hikers are more likely to be injured, but compared with other sports, the chances of being injured in hiking are very small, even if it is not serious. In addition, hiking is not an activity that requires a lot of exercise. Participants can adjust their pace according to their own abilities, so it is suitable for people with different physical abilities. Also, hiking is a persistent exercise, which takes at least a few hours to complete at first, so hiking can effectively exercise cardiopulmonary function and foot muscles. More importantly, it can exercise a person's perseverance and endurance, which is not what many sports can do, because many sports participants can choose to give up at any time; But when hiking, it's hard to give up once you start, because hiking routes are mostly mountain roads, and there is no other way to go except by foot. Therefore, some people who have no perseverance can do it, and at the same time, they will increase their confidence and know that they have the ability to complete a long hike.
