As May arrives, the willows are lush and green, and the sunshine is bright—perfect weather for stepping outdoors to breathe in the fresh air. To enrich employees' leisure lives, strengthen communication and collaboration across departments, and further boost everyone's enthusiasm for work, Nantong Dongyang Fashion Co., Ltd. organized a company-wide trip to Changzhou Chunqiu Yan Cheng Amusement Park on May 10, kicking off an immersive cultural journey through the ancient charm of Chunqiu Yan Cheng.

　　This spring outing featured a large group— the company dispatched a total of 9 buses—and distributed matching T-shirts and travel caps to every employee. Dressed neatly and brimming with energy, the employees showcased Toyo Fashion's vibrant and positive corporate image.

　　After more than three hours of driving, everyone arrived at Yan Cheng Amusement Park. As soon as they stepped into the park, they were greeted by a striking message displayed prominently on the big screen: "A Warm Welcome to All Employees of Nantong Dongyang Fashion Co., Ltd."—a heartfelt gesture that made every Dongyang employee feel truly cared for and warmly embraced.

　　Yancheng is the best-preserved ancient city site on the ground in China. Yancheng Spring and Autumn Paradise, meanwhile, is a large-scale amusement park built around the historic Yancheng site from the Spring and Autumn period. It offers visitors a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the charm of the Spring and Autumn era while enjoying thrilling rides and attractions—truly a rare experience that lets you connect with the rich cultural heritage of that remarkable time!

　　First, everyone arrived at the School of Thought Garden, which is rooted in ancient Chinese culture and employs a variety of artistic techniques to vividly showcase the most representative schools of thought from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. The entire Garden is composed of twelve prominent schools—namely, the Legalists, Confucians, Taoists, Yin-Yang School, Legalists, Mohists, Eclectics, Agrarians, Novelists, Strategists, Military Experts, and Medical Practitioners—each meticulously recreated with lifelike details that perfectly capture the vibrant atmosphere of intellectual debate and cultural flourishing during the Spring and Autumn era. After touring the School of Thought Garden, we found ourselves standing in a long queue.

　　"Sun Wu's Command Platform" draws inspiration from the legendary story of Sun Wu, the renowned military strategist of the Warring States period, who meticulously arranged his troops before every campaign, showcasing the boldness and charisma of a great general. Standing tall at 55 meters, this aerial "Flying Island" can accommodate up to 110 visitors at once. What’s more, the island rotates both around its own axis and completes a full 360-degree revolution—both horizontally and vertically. With heights and arm spans reaching the limits of similar attractions in domestic theme parks, this unique ride offers guests an unparalleled vantage point to take in the breathtaking panorama of Yancheng Ruins’ three cities and three rivers, allowing them to truly experience the commanding presence and strategic brilliance of a masterful commander. As the first domestically developed amusement attraction in China boasting independent intellectual property rights, this rotating and revolving aerial viewing platform provides visitors with an unforgettable perspective of one of China’s most iconic historical sites.

　　Coming to the Chunqiu Yan City, what impressed me most was the majestic, towering statue of Confucius, perfectly situated atop the natural contours of the hill—flanked on either side by two other iconic figures of Confucianism, Mencius and Xunzi. The awe-inspiring presence of these three luminaries seems to invite modern visitors to step onto a "bamboo scroll" laid out on the ground, where they can savor the timeless wisdom of the *Analects* and reflect on the harmonious society envisioned by Confucius and his disciples—a world rooted in benevolence and righteousness.

　　Passing through the Garden of the Hundred Schools, you arrive at the bustling marketplace street, where people come and go in constant motion. Many staff members dressed in costumes reminiscent of the Spring and Autumn period are there to guide you into the everyday lives of ordinary ancient citizens, allowing you to experience the vibrant local ethnic customs as well as the diverse and colorful facets of marketplace culture and its myriad trades.

　　After this rare and rejuvenating mental getaway, employees were brimming with enthusiasm, feeling joyful and thoroughly relaxed. Colleagues supported and looked out for one another, creating more opportunities for open communication and strengthening the bonds between them, ultimately fostering a sense of unity and harmony within the team. Upon returning from the trip, everyone shared their fascinating experiences and heartfelt impressions, inspiring each other to tackle their daily tasks with renewed vigor and boundless energy—ready to continue contributing meaningfully to the company’s ongoing growth and success.
