Theme: Walking in Autumn, Enjoying Nature

With the gentle caress of the autumn wind, all employees of Jiangsu FTR Communications Co., Ltd. ushered in the long-awaited one-day tour to Xuyi. In this harvest season, driven by our yearning for nature and love for the team, we set out on this autumn journey.

The morning sun filtered through the clouds, casting light in front of the company gate as all employees gathered in high spirits. With the tour bus slowly setting off, we officially kicked off our one-day tour of Xuyi.

Our first stop was the 'Most Charming Three Kilometers' in Jiangba. Here, the blue waves of Hongze Lake mirrored the quaintness of Jiangba Ancient Town, unfolding like a moving scroll before our eyes. We strolled along the bluestone paths, savoring the charm of this thousand-year-old town as if traveling back to its bustling era. The autumn wind brushed our faces, bringing a slight chill but igniting our enthusiasm for exploration.

Next, we visited Ming Zu Mausoleum. Built by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, for his ancestors, this mausoleum is not only grand in scale but also unique in architectural style, integrating the artistic essence of the Tang and Song dynasties. As we walked along the Spirit Path, the vivid stone carvings on both sides seemed to recount that glorious history. Standing before the mausoleum, we couldn’t help but feel profound admiration for the wisdom and diligence of our ancestors.

After lunch, we took a short break before continuing our journey. The first stop in the afternoon was Huangpai Street, a historic street that has witnessed the prosperity and changes of Xuyi. Now renovated, Huangpai Street has restored its former bustling scene, with a dazzling array of specialty snacks and handicrafts. We tasted authentic Xuyi cuisine here, immersing ourselves in the rich local cultural atmosphere.

Finally, we arrived at Diyishan National Forest Park. With overlapping mountains, lush forests, and gurgling springs, it is like a natural oxygen bar. We climbed the mountain along the winding trails, admiring the scenic views along the way. Ancient buildings such as Dacheng Hall, Huaishan Hall, and Cuiping Hall are scattered among the mountains, adding a touch of cultural heritage to the park. Standing at the summit and overlooking the surroundings, the entire Xuyi County lay before our eyes, leaving us feeling refreshed and reluctant to depart.

As the sun set, our one-day tour of Xuyi drew to a close. However, the beautiful memories from this trip will forever be engraved in our hearts. 'Walking in Autumn, Enjoying Nature' not only allowed us to appreciate Xuyi's natural scenery and cultural heritage but also made us feel the strength and warmth of our team. In the days to come, we will move forward with fuller enthusiasm and firmer steps, jointly creating a more brilliant tomorrow for Jiangsu FTR Communications Co., Ltd.!
