Company team building, journey to western Hubei | There are always one or two winds in the world, filling my dreams of ten thousand and eight thousand
Explore the secrets of the human world
At the turn of spring and summer, in order to encourage employees to cultivate their emotions and get closer to nature, the company organized a trip to western Hubei, and I had the privilege to participate in it. Throughout the journey, I have been amazed countless times by the amazing craftsmanship of nature, warmed by the meticulous work of the company, and delighted by the solidarity and friendship among colleagues. I have many feelings about it.
In the early morning, the train entered the territory of Hubei, and a touch of green suddenly caught my eye. Following it were mountains and rivers. For me, who lives in the north, every scenery that flashed quickly was precious, and my colleagues became even more excited. Under the guidance of the tour guide, we successfully arrived at the Grand Canyon. After a brief rest, three to five friends began their journey of exploration. At first, I blamed the heavens for not being beautiful, as the continuous smoke and rain obscured the picturesque scenery of the canyon. However, soon the hazy scenery in front of me began to make me feel a little confused. The ten thousand meter cliff gallery, the thousand foot waterfall, the hundred unique peaks standing tall, the ten mile deep ravine, and the magnificent and beautiful cloud dragon ground fissures were all displayed in my eyes, like a series of ink splashed landscape paintings, with a unique style. As the saying goes, ‘There is only one day in the mountains, and a thousand years in the world.’ The karst landforms that only exist in geography textbooks can finally be seen in full view. Although the journey is tiring, the beautiful scenery here is the most touching.
Only one day in the mountains
The human world has existed for thousands of years
The next day, the sunshine was bright and the breeze was gentle. The company team arrived at the beautiful Butterfly Rock in Qingjiang. “The peaks and ridges are stacked, the clear water is like a mirror, the green mountains float in the water, the reflections are graceful, and the scenery on both sides is like a hundred mile gallery” is the most authentic portrayal of Qingjiang. The cruise ship shuttles across the river, creating layers of ripples. The gentle breeze blows in front of us, brushing away yesterday’s fatigue and taking away the worries in our hearts. A bridge crosses a bay of blue lake water, waterfalls flow through the cliffs to the earth, and several residential buildings stand tall in the mountains, resembling sparkling stars in the blue sky, clear and graceful.

Reflection is graceful
After appreciating the magnificence of the mountains and waters, we visited the Suobu Ya Stone Forest, which was born in the Ordovician period. It was like a thick history, with strange shaped rocks trying their best to tell the dusty past, like a dialogue that spans thousands of years and centuries. I breathed fresh air in this natural oxygen bar as a response to the changes in the world and the journey he has taken. As the sky darkened, we drove to the gathering place of Tujia culture, known as the “world’s most beloved man, the first daughter city in the world”. The unique stilted houses were built along the mountain terrain and set up along the water flow, showcasing Tujia culture to the fullest. I also chose to wear ethnic costumes here, leaving behind images of my intimate contact with Tujia culture.
Spanning thousands of years
Crossing the Century
In the blink of an eye, only the last day of the itinerary remained. In this limited time, we explored the mysterious Lichuan Tenglong Cave. The amazing craftsmanship of nature and the rolling waves of history have washed away the breathtaking cave landscape. Inside the cave, everyone watched a laser show and the musical “Yi Shui Li Chuan”, presenting the origin, development, and folk culture of Tujia culture one by one, unveiling the mysterious veil of the Tujia ethnic group. Before leaving, the last stop was the ancient and unique Tusi City. With the guidance of the tour guide, we passed through the Jiujin Hall, crossed the beacon tower, climbed the bell tower, and crossed the Wind and Rain Bridge. Along the way, it was like telling the stories of Tusi life and the history of Tusi culture.
Being immersed in it was unforgettable.
Looking forward to meeting again
At this point in writing, I still cannot fully express my love for Enshi. This journey of getting involved, lingering, and looking back has made me understand that there are always one or two winds in the world that fill my dreams.
