Rock Guide
Liming, tucked away in the red rock canyons of Yunnan, offers a sandstone climbing paradise where dramatic cliffs, LiSu culture, and timeless village rhythms meet.
This two-day adventure weaves together world-renowned crack climbs, sweeping mountain vistas, and an authentic taste of China’s southwestern frontier.
Whether you're new to trad or chasing splitter perfection, Liming invites you to slow down, gear up, and climb into something unforgettable.
About this Journey
Long before the first trails were blazed and the valleys named, the sandstone cliffs of Liming had already painted their stories in red. Towering and silent, they speak not in words, but in lines—cracks and corners, demanding presence, offering truth.
Here, each ascent is a slow-burning conversation — with gravity, with fear, with time itself. The sandstone bites and embraces; it teaches patience, precision, and humility.
Among ancient forests and the scent of pine, climb not just upwards, but inward. In the quietude of Liming, there is space—for stillness, for struggle, for awe.
Led by experienced guides, you’ll learn not just how to climb, but how to listen — how to feel the rock, the rhythm of your breath, and the echo of your spirit in the vast gorge below.
Liming is not a destination, but a mirror. And in that mirror, you may just find the version of yourself who knows how to move, to rest, and to be.
