Foraging craze: China's new outdoor trend explained the Foraging craze.


Young urban dwellers have been enjoying various outdoor pursuits, from camping, citywalks, or urban exploration to hiking and cycling on the outskirts of towns and even on the outskirts of cities this year.


According to the lifestyle website, rednote, the majority of chinese households in march were down 35 percent (#>, i.e. digging for wild vegetables), mainly in parks and suburbs.


People are calling foraging "jungling" (, lit.


Partner) for their foraging trips, with young people seeking "dazi" (#), borrowing a gaming term.


(#).


For this reason, some are already offering guided foraging tours, from 50 rmb (6.94 usd) a day to 99 rmb (13.75 usd) for 3 hours, selling maps from 5 rmb to 10 rmb (13.75 usd) for 3 hours, some are even offering guided foraging tours.


The cost of foraging equipment (mostly trowels and hoes) and tour guides for students and young professionals is simply an entry fee for students and young professionals.


However, for those veteran foragers, there is no long-term success in this.


“you can learn everything on rednote,” an organiser of a free foraging festival says.
