Cold winter cannot stop the footsteps of spring,

Darkness cannot obscure the dawn,

At this moment when the epidemic has passed,

Let's go now~

The Southeast Asian style that does not leave the country

2023 Sales Department 1&Wuxi Haitai&Group Finance Department Xishuangbanna Team Building Tour

       2On October 20 and November 9, 2023, the Group's Sales Department, Finance Department, and Wuxi Haitai carried out a 5-day team building trip to Xishuangbanna in two batches. Xishuangbanna is renowned for its magical tropical rainforest natural landscape and ethnic minority customs, and it is also a true "kingdom of animals" and "kingdom of plants". Whether it's the mysterious rainforest, the graceful Dai style, or the solemn pagoda and temple hidden under the phoenix tail bamboo, they are unforgettable!

First stop: Gaozhuang Night Market - With a solemn and dignified deity at the head and bustling beings at the feet

       The Chinese translation of the Jiaozhuang Xishuang Scenic Area is "Nine Pagodas and Twelve Villages", which integrates Dai and Thai culture. It has three main roads, namely Wanxiang Avenue, Bodhi Avenue, and Peacock Avenue. Walking straight from the main entrance of the scenic area, you can see the iconic building - the Great Golden Pagoda. This area integrates rich Southeast Asian culture, integrates food, culture, folk crafts, and other cultures, and is a distinctive, bustling, and popular night market!

       The starry night market, adorned with colorful lights and bustling crowds, is located right next to the Lancang River. The street full of snacks in the night market exudes a strong exotic atmosphere, with Southeast Asian snacks everywhere; On traditional ethnic handicraft stalls, various handicrafts are dazzling; The picturesque army of tourists dressed in ethnic costumes such as Dai and Hani people gave us a feast for our eyes.

Second stop: Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences - Natural Oxygen Bar

       The Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is known as the "epitome of the kingdom of botanical gardens" and the "heart of emeralds". It is the largest botanical garden in China, with the richest collection of species and the most specialized botanical gardens. It is also a comprehensive research institution and scenic spot that integrates scientific research, species conservation, and popular science education.

       Coming here, let us, who usually stay in reinforced concrete for too long, have various "wow" plants along the way. There are too many plants that we have not seen before, which are eye opening. The towering "big board roots", the cruel "strangling plants", the majestic "single tree becoming a forest", the colorful "sky garden", the unique "old stem flowering", the dancing grass that vibrates with the rhythm of music, the poisonous "blood blocking throat" of tree pulp and other exotic flowers and trees, The natural oxygen bar makes us deeply intoxicated.

Third stop: Man Ting Park+Bonfire Evening Party

       The cultural performance and bonfire party of "Lancang River Mekong River Night" are the biggest highlights of Manting Park. The friends in Wuxi are still performing drums on site, and the sound of drums is causing laughter from the surrounding crowd! The artistic performance has a grand momentum and a strong atmosphere of exotic ethnic groups. The Dai royal palace dance, beautiful gourd silk performance, unique Yao hand biting and love fixing, and interactive wedding customs programs are all part of the show. The host is humorous, interactive, and entertaining.

Fourth stop: Animal Kingdom (Elephant Valley)+Primitive Forest

       The Wild Elephant Valley Scenic Area is known for its mystery, strangeness, and beauty. It is currently a well preserved primitive forest south of the Tropic of Cancer. Its natural advantages combine the magical natural scenery and rich folk customs of the primitive forest, highlighting the reputation of being a "tropical valley rainforest".

       Here, not only can you watch the spectacular scene of hundreds of peacocks flying up close, but you can also explore the unique world of plants, including ferns, large vines, and strange flowers, each with its own story. Finally, I came to Wild Elephant Valley to watch the silly and cute elephant performance, which made me laugh uncontrollably.

Fifth stop: Dai Ethnic Park+Zongfo Temple

       The Dai ethnic park is composed of five villages, and the Dai people living here live the most simple life. Here, you can see typical pole style buildings, traditional handicrafts, and pulp craftsmanship that has been passed down for thousands of years. The feeling of combining a living area with a tourist attraction is hard not to be disliked, as many locals have a natural living environment and way of life that is much more interesting than intentionally enclosed scenic spots. The most interesting project in the Dai Ethnic Park is the water splashing activity. The ethnic performance and water worship ceremony before the water splashing activity were very lively, and the friends and the crowd who wished each other well engaged in an intense water splashing ceremony.

       Zongfo Temple is the center of pilgrimage for Buddhist believers in Xishuangbanna. Walk in the temple, listen to the Buddha's music, and let your heart go. As far as the eye can see, every detail is thought-provoking, amazed by the aesthetic expertise of Buddhist artists.

       The laughter and cheers along the way, the mutual help and assistance among colleagues, and the blessings for their birthdays and emergency situations that need to be dealt with during the journey. In the big family of Haitai, everyone welcomes everything with the best mood. A group of people's travels do not analyze complicated trivial matters, leaving behind a burst of laughter freely, and discovering a long lost emotion in a strange place!

       The 2023 team building tour of the three departments of Haitai in Xishuangbanna has come to a successful end, and life has returned. Perhaps the sense of anticipation upon departure and the sense of belonging upon return are the significance of the trip! I am looking forward to my next trip. The fireworks in the human world are the most soothing, and I am fortunate that the world is worth it. The joy with various departments of Haitai has come to an end for now. See you next time!
