Recently, in this beautiful season where late autumn and early winter intertwine, ISUN meticulously planned a unique celebration activity for employees whose birthdays fall in October and November - a hiking trip along the Lingbai Line in Suzhou. This is not only an exploration of nature but also a demonstration of team spirit and a sharing of the joy of birthdays.

The Lingbai Line, located in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, is one of the popular hiking routes locally. It connects the two major scenic areas of Lingyan Mountain and Baimajian, with a total length of about 7 kilometers. This route is widely favored by hiking enthusiasts for its beautiful natural scenery, rich historical and cultural relics, and moderate level of challenge.

Given the complexity of the forks in the mountain, different routes have emerged along the Lingbai Line. Mr. Mo, the team leader of this activity (a non-famous mountain climbing enthusiast in the ISUN team), after comprehensive consideration, selected one of the most suitable routes for ISUN's team-building activity. This route cleverly balances the challenge and comfort. It not only sets up obstacles and difficulties that are sufficient to stimulate the fighting spirit and teamwork spirit of team members but also intersperses intervals and sections where they can appropriately relax and regain their strength.

This route starts from the regular mountain path of Lingyan Mountain, extends gently, and naturally transitions to the dirt road on the mountain ridge. The team shuttles through the area where the city and mountains intersect. When their physical strength is almost exhausted, their eyes suddenly open up, and a clear blue lake in Baimajian lies in front of them. The feeling of openness and comfort can soothe the soul, bringing a lot of comfort and tranquility. When all team members successfully complete the whole journey and look back on the way they have come, they deeply understand the unique rhythm and beauty of this route, and feel the unique rhythm and aesthetics contained in hiking.
▲Taking a break, enjoying the scenery, and relaxing during the journey
After going down the mountain, the company prepared a sumptuous hot pot lunch for everyone. After the exercise, everyone sat around together, shared delicious food, and exchanged interesting stories and insights from the hiking trip. They fully relaxed their body and mind amidst the steaming hot pot and cheerful laughter. Subsequently, everyone sang the birthday song together, sent birthday wishes to the colleagues celebrating their birthdays on the spot, and also remotely sent affectionate wishes to the birthday stars who could not participate in the activity.

Colleagues who participated in the hiking trip for the first time frankly stated after the activity that this journey was quite a challenge to their physical strength. At the beginning, they felt a bit exhausted, but as the journey progressed, they gradually adapted and got into the groove. When they finally reached the finish line smoothly with the team, their hearts were filled with an indescribable sense of achievement and freedom, and they casually joked, "The little Lingbai Line is easily mastered."
Team leader Mr. Mo took on the important task of ensuring everyone's safety throughout this activity. During the 5-hour hiking trip, the team members assisted each other, and no one fell behind. Mr. Mo was deeply gratified by this. For colleagues who had difficulty maintaining their physical strength and fell a bit behind during the journey but still persevered until the end, Mr. Mo gave affirmation and encouragement. He also expressed the hope that the company could organize more similar activities in the future to encourage employees to strengthen their bodies and improve their physical fitness.

As the planner and organizer of this activity, the Human Resources and Administration Department has always adhered to the concept of promoting the comprehensive development of employees and team building. Through this hiking activity, it is not only hoped that employees can get physical exercise and enhance their physical fitness but also that they can relieve work pressure and cultivate a persevering character psychologically.
Looking ahead, ISUN plans to gradually systematize and normalize outdoor activities such as hiking and integrate them into the company's employee care and team building system. By means of a variety of outdoor activities, it aims to comprehensively promote the balanced development of employees' physical and mental health, continuously strengthen the team's cohesion and teamwork spirit, and further create a positive, united and progressive corporate culture atmosphere, laying a solid foundation for the company's sustained and stable development. Let's look forward to the next gathering together!
