ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

Once adventure, changed a kind of life; Once drift, saved a river!

Housing sales moguls, financial magnates, IT elite, drift warriors, environmental protection pioneers... all walks of life getting together in that summer. They read the beauty of mother river, felt the nature and their fellow's intelligence and their stories, share their knowledge through a drift.

The team members created a Utopia on a river, work and live together, put down their social identities. Not any bosses, or professors, or celebrities. They came back to their pure identities and finally knew the nature, enjoy the nature, and protect the nature.

All of these is because there will be many large dam on Jinsha Jiang river, they cut off the river. All these beautiful sceneries will disappear. That is why we called it A River Memoir.

Sharing this story about drifting on the Jinsha Jiang river, get close to her before it completely disappeared.

Friends from the outdoor brands Patagonia will come to the scene, and provide their T-shirts. And there will be some presents from Chinese National Geography Book Department.
