What does a donkey friend mean?

A donkey friend is someone who likes to travel and often travels together. This word is usually used to refer to outdoor sports lovers and self-help and independent travel lovers. A donkey friend refers to a "lover" and refers to a person, not the trip itself. A tourist who likes to go out on foot or by bike can be called a donkey friend. On the internet, "donkey friends" refer to backpackers, which is synonymous with outdoor sports lovers. They are used to calling themselves or honorific each other.

The word "donkey friend" evolved from "donkey" and was originally spread by Sina Tourism Forum. It is a homonym of "tourism", which generally refers to friends who participate in tourism and self-help tours. Such friends call each other "donkey friends". As a result, Sina Tourism Forum changed its name to Sina Donkey Altar and became the originator of domestic Donkey Altar.

A donkey friend also refers to a traveler who aims at scenery, culture, life experience or collecting wind, rather than a tourist who aims at vacation. Western Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet have become paradise for donkey friends, and the surrounding area of Lijiang is relatively low in altitude, high in oxygen content and beautiful in natural scenery, making it the first place for donkey friends to set foot.

Travelers usually travel on foot or by bike, bring their own backpacks, tents, sleeping bags, kitchen utensils and other outdoor survival tools, and often find some scenic spots that others have never been to or rarely go to.
