Mutual respect

 

• We share the countryside with the others. Respect the rights of the others.

• When hiking along a narrow trail, let others advance when necessary. For example, give way to big groups and those who are going uphill.

• Wherever mountain bike trails and hiking paths overlap, bikers should decelerate and give way to hikers.

• Try to rest or camp away from the footpaths. Avoid blocking the paths.

• Counter check the plans of the others. Reserve more space for bigger groups.

 

 

Be considerate. Respect the experience and travel quality of the others

                    

• The sound of nature is for all. Do not shout or make noise. Use earphones or lower the volume for music or radio programs.

• Avoid smoking in the countryside. When smoking is inevitable, stay away from the others. Avoid disturbing other people and make sure that cigarettes are put out properly.

• Do not flash strong light into the others’ eyes in the dark; avoid using unnecessary light to avoid light pollution. Choose a dimmer or red flashlight to minimize disturbance.

• Respect local residents. Keep quiet when passing through villages. Do not disturb other people’s crop or properties. Get permission before trespassing others’ private property. Also, respect local traditions.

• Try to keep pets at home. Otherwise leash the animals and keep them tamed. Avoid disturbing the others.

• Be friend to other visitors. Show care and support to whoever in needs.
