A Soothing Hot Spring Getaway: Warm Bodies, Warmer Hearts
As winter sets in after Lidong (Start of Winter), the weather turns cooler, making hot spring bathing a perfect way to relax both body and mind. To help everyone unwind from work stress, our company organized a two-day retreat for all employees from November 17–18, 2017, to enjoy the warmth of hot springs in Conghua, Guangzhou.
On the morning of November 17, we set off at 8:00 AM in high spirits. After two hours of cheerful singing and laughter, we arrived at our destination. Following a delicious lunch, we headed to "Bishuiwan Hot Spring Resort" to indulge in the soothing thermal baths. The hot springs not only helped relax muscles and joints, relieving fatigue, but also improved blood circulation and boosted metabolism.
After the warm, rejuvenating soak, we checked into villas near the springs. The evening was filled with singing, chatting, and a delightfully laid-back atmosphere.
On November 18, we ventured into the "Baishui Mountain Scenic Area", hailed as "The Stunning Emerald on the Tropic of Cancer", for an outdoor hiking adventure. Energized and enthusiastic, we admired Baishuixian Waterfall—the tallest inland waterfall in China—while ascending toward the summit. After two hours of determined effort, most of us successfully reached the peak, savoring the triumphant joy of "taking in the view from above all else."
The two-day retreat concluded on a perfect note. Not only did we relax and recharge, but we also bonded as a team. Now, we return to work with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
This winter may be cold, but with each other’s company, we stay warm—in body and heart!
