In this August full of expectations, Tongshunjie team with full of enthusiasm and curiosity about the unknown, embarked on a journey to Yunnan, and started a group building named ‘Keeping Love, Going to the Mountain and the Sea Together’. This is not only a simple trip, but also a baptism of the soul, so that we in the magnificent natural scenery, deepen the friendship between each other, and witness the power and beauty of the team.

Day 1: Shenzhen departure, the first impression of Lijiang

Early in the morning of 7th August, when the first ray of sunshine penetrated the clouds, we were ready to go, waving goodbye in the hustle and bustle of Shenzhen, and heading towards the poetry and faraway place in our hearts - Lijiang. After hours of flight, when our feet stepped on the solid ground again, the unique flavour of Lijiang came to us. At lunch time, we tasted the authentic Naxi cuisine, the fresh aroma and uniqueness, which instantly dispelled the fatigue of the journey. Afterwards, we stayed in the carefully selected Lijiang Ancient City Side Hotel, where the ancient buildings make people feel like travelling back to the Ancient Tea and Horse Road of a thousand years ago. As night fell, the lights of Lijiang Old Town were dimmed, we strolled on the green stone road, feeling the quietness and prosperity of the old city, each light was like the fire of love in the heart of every member of the team, warm and bright.

Day 2: The tranquillity of Shuhe Old Town, the vastness of Lashihai

On 8th August, with the breeze in the morning, we went to Shuhe Old Town. Compared with the bustle of Lijiang Ancient Town, Shuhe is more quiet and simple, with small bridges and flowing water, and ancient roads, each step echoing with history. In the afternoon, the vastness of the Lashihai Wetland Park made us relaxed and happy, the lake surface sparkling, the mountains in the distance, we strolled along the lake, enjoying the gift of nature, but also enjoy the tacit understanding and harmony between the team that does not need to say more.

Day 3: The tenderness of Dali, the love of Erhai's Shuanglang

On 9th August, we drove to Dali, and the Erhai Shuanglang became the main character of the day. Standing by the Erhai Sea, looking at the Cangshan Mountains from afar and the blue waves from close by, all the troubles seemed to go away with the wind at that moment. The package experience in Xizhou Ancient Town was even more colourful, with the serenity of the idyllic scenery, the laughter of travel photography, the shock of aerial photography, the freshness of Hai Tongue Park, and the freedom of riding along the Erhai Sea, each activity immersed us in it and made us happy. As night fell, the warmth of the Dali hotel became our harbour after exhaustion.

Day 4: The loftiness of Cangshan Mountain, the dream of Ideal State

On 10th August, we challenged the Sentong cable car on Cangshan Mountain. As the cable car slowly rose, the scenery in front of us gradually became magnificent, with the majesty of Cangshan Mountain and the beauty of Dali Dam in our eyes. In the afternoon, we travelled to Santorini, the ideal state, and enjoyed a romantic afternoon tea time, with blue roofs and white walls, as if we were in a Mediterranean dream. In the evening, we returned to Lijiang with full of memories. Inside the hotel, we shared the wonderful moments of the day, laughter and warmth filled the whole room.

Day 5: The holiness of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the reluctance of the return journey

The 11th of August was the climax and the end of the trip. We stepped onto the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain with awe. The thrill and grandeur of the glacier ropeway shocked us, while the performance of ‘Impression of Lijiang’ made us feel the deep heritage of Naxi culture and the resilience of life. With the end of the performance, this ‘keep love, go to the mountains and the sea together’ Yunnan trip also drew a successful conclusion. Although we are reluctant to leave, we all know that every bit of this journey will become the most valuable treasure in our common memory.

Looking back on this five-day journey, we not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Yunnan, but also learnt to persevere, tolerate and grow up in each other's company. In the future, no matter where we are, this love of life and loyalty to the team will shine in our hearts forever, just like the snow-capped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
