From August 1 to 2, 2026, our company organised all team members on an outing to Qingyuan for a nature-infused team-building trip. Gathered under the morning sun, we boarded the coach amid cheerful chatter, heading for Qingyuan’s Gulong Gorge. Stepping away from busy work routines, we set off to embrace fresh mountain breezes.
Upon arriving at Gulong Gorge, the long-anticipated rafting was the highlight. The mountain air felt crisp and pure in the early hours, while the valley stream shimmered crystal-clear. We climbed aboard rafts and drifted along winding waterways. Swift rapids churned up sprays of water, wrapping us in coolness. Shouts and laughter echoed through the valley. Colleagues who usually focus on separate work tasks rode the currents side by side, shedding workplace formality. Through splashing and playful interactions, we grew closer and let go of stress.
As dusk fell, the mountains unfolded a unique romance. The barbecue dinner got underway, with crackling charcoal releasing rich aromas from an array of ingredients. We sat together, chatting and sharing stories. After nightfall, a bonfire flickered to life, casting warm light over every smiling face. Everyone gathered around the flames to talk and play freely. The warm, lively atmosphere deepened the bond within our team.
The next morning, we travelled to Bijia Mountain to immerse ourselves in green hills and clear waters. Wandering through the woods, we heard gurgling springs and watched waterfalls cascade down cliffs, veiling the scenery in soft mist. Lush layered greenery stretched as far as the eye could see; only wind and flowing water filled our ears. We strolled slowly, admiring this natural landscape and breathing in abundant negative ions. Amid tranquil mountains and rivers, we calmed our minds and experienced nature’s soothing power.
The two-day team-building journey came to a joyful end. The rushing currents of Gulong Gorge witnessed our unity; the gentle springs of Bijia Mountain refreshed our spirits. Having met amid nature, we march forward as one. After this brief retreat, we will return to our roles carrying renewed energy and strengthened teamwork, ready to tackle new challenges side by side.
