Yinuorui shakes hands with spring, embarking on a joyful spring outing together.

In the vibrant month of April, when grasses flourish and warblers sing joyfully, willows gently brush against the banks. During this season, all things come back to life, brimming with energy and vitality everywhere—making it the perfect time for outings and spring excursions. To enrich employees’ leisure lives, strengthen communication and collaboration among departments, and enhance the company’s sense of unity, the company organized a one-day tour for all employees in two groups on April 15th and 16th, visiting Guai Shi Ling + Tong Yuan Gorge in Nanchang and Ju Shi Shan in Anqing.

 

The Guai Shi Ling Ecological Park is over 130 kilometers from the company. At exactly 7:00 a.m., two tour buses packed with employees were all set to depart. After the two team leaders from the General Affairs Department had checked the headcount and read out the safety instructions, everyone happily set off on their journey. Unfortunately, today we ran into sudden heavy fog. As soon as we reached the highway entrance, we found that the road was closed—reportedly, it would take at least an hour before the closure was lifted. Soon, our colleagues began to get restless, which really worried the two of us team leaders. Luckily, the buses were equipped with a sound system and microphones. We suggested that everyone sing karaoke onboard. No sooner had we finished speaking than several senior female colleagues from Production Department rushed over to request songs. The atmosphere in the bus instantly became lively. These employees, who usually work quietly on the production line and don't say much, turned out to be surprisingly talented singers, each one better than the last, earning round after round of applause. Before we knew it, an hour had passed, and the highway finally reopened. Along the way, everyone enjoyed the scenic views and sang along to the music, thoroughly relishing the moment.

 

Around 10:30, everyone arrived at the first stop—Guashi Ridge. The tour guide briefly introduced the main attractions, including the “Great Wall,” the “Strange Rock Tribe,” the “Wish-Granting Forest,” the “Fairy Maiden Temple,” and the “Lake and Mountain Scenery”—all natural landscapes. After taking a group photo at the entrance of the scenic area, everyone set off together, beginning their day-long journey.

 

As you enter the scenic area, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the landmark of Guai Shiling—the Viewing Gallery, often referred to as the "Little Great Wall of the South." As the saying goes, "To the north, there's Badaling; to the south, there's Guai Shiling." The Viewing Gallery is built to scale, mirroring the Great Wall at Badaling. It stretches for a full 4 kilometers, featuring more than ten beacon towers that span across the mountaintop, extending all the way along its crest. With the spirit of "He who has never been to the Great Wall is no true hero," everyone sets out to reach the summit. Standing atop one of the beacon towers on the mountaintop feels just like being in the heart of Beijing’s Great Wall—your ambition and heroic spirit surge forth naturally, and the breathtaking beauty of Xixia Lake in Nanchang comes fully into view.

 

 

Several Douyin enthusiasts, along with their friends, started shooting short videos, striking all sorts of poses and having a blast.

 

 

At 12:30 p.m., everyone gathered at the farmhouse’s local cuisine restaurant for lunch, savoring delicious home-cooked dishes. After lunch, we set off for our second stop—Tongyuan Gorge, a newly developed scenic area that spans both Wanli District and Xinjian County. It’s one of Meiling’s ten major scenic spots and has recently gone viral on social media. Reportedly, the gorge boasts breathtaking scenery with clear mountains and sparkling waters, fresh air, and an array of attractions including a 5D high-altitude glass bridge, a dreamlike flower corridor, a screaming cry fountain, 3-kilometer canyon views, a colorful high-altitude dry slide, and a glass water slide—all creating a scene straight out of a fairyland. After taking a group photo, everyone couldn’t wait to experience the thrilling 5D high-altitude glass bridge. Right in the middle of the bridge, several panes of glass feature 5D sensory effects, making it an incredibly exciting and interactive adventure. Stepping onto the bridge not only gives you the sensation of glass shattering beneath your feet but also triggers over twenty different special effects, completely redefining your perception of high-altitude thrills! Several colleagues who are afraid of heights were so scared they didn’t dare to take a step forward—and had to be helped across by their coworkers.

 

As you cross the 5D high-altitude glass bridge, a 60-meter-long dreamlike flower corridor in Tongyuan Gorge unfolds before your eyes. Flowers dance gracefully, creating a scene that seems to straddle heaven and earth—almost like a dream, or perhaps a fairyland? Next comes Happiness Lake, whose crystal-clear waters shimmer gently in the sunlight, reflecting the lush green mountains in a breathtakingly beautiful panorama that fills your heart with peace and delight.

 

 

It is said that one of the most distinctive features of Tongyuan Gorge Scenic Area can be vividly likened to “Six Groups”—namely, the Water Mill Group, the Waterfall Group, the Ancient Tomb Group, the Terraced Field Group, the Elephant Rock Group, and the Heron Group. Tongyuan Gorge stretches for dozens of kilometers with a drop of over 600 meters, and along its length are continuously distributed more than 300 water mills and over 80 cascading waterfalls.
