Through five years of wind and rain, we have marched forward with triumphant songs, scripting brilliance all the way. Five years bear witness to growth, as we join hands to reach the other shore. The gears of the clock have turned through five springs and autumns; looking back upon the footprints left along the journey, our hearts overflow with gratitude. To thank employees for their hard work and to foster a harmonious and warm collective atmosphere, the company specially organized a trip for employees to enjoy a relaxing and pleasant holiday in Shennongjia and Xiamen. Everyone set off on the journey with excitement! All the way, we were filled with laughter and joy, enjoying one another’s company.

The itinerary was divided into two groups. One group arrived at the first stop, Xiamen. With the sea breeze blowing in our faces, the seawater lapping at our feet, and picking up all kinds of shells, our moods were instantly lifted. Everyone advanced toward the destination with full enthusiasm and an uplifting spirit. The scenery along the way was charming, beautiful, and dotted with numerous scenic spots. We walked and paused, rested and looked around, chatting and laughing, or taking photos, lingering and gazing, feasting our eyes on the splendid views.

As night fell, we admired the wonderful night scenery, strolling together in pairs or groups to enjoy the harmony that the beautiful night brought to our souls. All worries and fatigue were completely forgotten. In the evening, colorful lights shone together and a gentle breeze blew; we wandered through the hazy glow of the lights. On the streets bustling with tourists, watching the scene of people coming and going, chatting and laughing cheerfully, we beamed with smiles and could hardly contain our excitement.

The fresh morning air of Xiamen lifted our spirits and brought a sense of ease. At this hour, Xiamen had shed its glittering silver sparkle and become peaceful and serene. We quietly savored this enjoyment with soft whispers, visited various scenic spots with keen interest, and then concluded our trip to Xiamen.

The other group toured the Shennongjia scenic area. Shennongjia is a world geological park, a national nature reserve, one of China’s top ten most beautiful forest parks, and part of the World Biosphere Reserve Network. Its main attractions include Shennong Peak, Scenic Pass, Banbi Rock, Observation Tower, Xiaolongtan, Dalongtan, and Jinhou Ridge. Renowned worldwide for its pristine and mysterious character, the area features high mountains and deep valleys, with enchanting scenery in all four seasons. Its unique natural environment and cultural history have created exceptionally rich and precious natural and cultural landscapes, nurturing a picturesque and splendid tourism environment, known as the “Shennong Heavenly Garden.”

With its myriad mountains and ravines, verdant peaks, heaven-carved gorges, colorful rocks, and babbling streams, Shennongjia forms one landscape painting after another, one gallery of poetry after another. With its powerful charm, it attracts countless visitors from home and abroad, making it a unique sightseeing destination. The lively and adorable golden snub-nosed monkey is an important member of Shennongjia. Its fur glistens with dazzling radiance under the sunlight; its small, delicate face is embedded with two black grapes that keep darting around cleverly; its upturned nose makes it appear even more cute and mischievous.

After enjoying the beautiful scenery of Shennongjia, we embarked on the journey back!
