    The COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread overseas, while domestically, thanks to the leadership of the Party and the government, the epidemic has long been brought under control. In response to the national call to boost consumption and coinciding with Zhengda Machinery’s annual tourism season, the first tour group of 2020 from Zhengda Machinery embarked on a nine-day trip to Ordos, Yulin, Yan'an, and Xi'an on July 22.

    Read widely and travel far—Zhengda Electromechanical encourages its employees to step out of their comfort zones, broaden their horizons, and elevate their perspectives. Among the many ways to put this philosophy into practice, traveling is an important one, and it also happens to be a significant benefit that the company offers to its employees.

    On the first day of the tour, the group flew to Ordos, located in the heart of the Hetao region at the "several-character bend" of the Yellow River. They visited Ordos’s urban landmarks—Kangbashi Grand Theater, the library, and Genghis Khan Square—and experienced the rich cultural heritage of the Ordos ethnic group.

    Everyone has a distant place in their heart—perhaps it’s an endless expanse of grassland, or maybe an infinite, boundless desert. The next day, the tour group set off by car for Xiangsha Bay and the Ordos Grassland.

    Xiangsha Bay is a crescent-shaped sand dune. On clear, rainless days when the sand is dry, as people slide down from the top of the dune, the sand produces a buzzing, humming sound reminiscent of an airplane engine—hence its name, “Xiangsha Bay.” Here, you can marvel at the mysterious camel herds, experience the thrill of high-altitude cableways, and ride desert motorcycles, fully immersing yourself in the joys of the desert.

    Every Southerner harbors a dream of the grasslands. When you arrive at the Ordos Grassland, your eyes are immediately greeted by vast skies and expansive clouds. The vibrant horse-flower blossoms seem to flutter like shimmering butterflies, gently flapping their wings and swaying amid the lush greenery of the prairie. On this boundless expanse of grassland, more than 500 yurts form an awe-inspiring spectacle. The equestrian performances tell the story of the Mongolian hero Batuer, while the Ordos wedding—a sacred and ancient ritual—celebrates the guardians of Genghis Khan’s tomb. And on a grassland night, the bonfire party is both grand and solemn.

    Yulin, located south of the Maowusu Desert, is Shaanxi’s second-largest economic city. On the third day of the tour, the group departed from the Ordos Grassland and headed to the Damo Lvtao Sha Golf Club in Yulin, Shaanxi, where they enjoyed a round of golf. The Shaanxi Damo Lvtao Sha Golf Club has created a new miracle in humanity’s struggle against the desert. The natural desert landscape and lush green fairways vividly showcase a vibrant scene of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.

    In Yulin, the tour group also visited Yulin Old Street, Hongshixia Gorge, and Zhenbeitai. Zhenbeitai is famously known as “the First Beacon Tower of the Great Wall” and one of the “Three Wonders of the Chinese Great Wall” (the other two being Shanhaiguan to the east and Jiayuguan to the west). In addition to being a historical site and natural landscape, Hongshixia Gorge is also a red tourism attraction where Comrade Liu Zhidan of our Party once carried out revolutionary activities.

    On the fifth day, the tour group arrived in Yan'an and embarked on a “Red Tourism” journey. The group visited, in succession, Zao Yuan—the former site of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China; Yangjialing—the residence of the CPC’s central leadership from November 1938 to March 1947; and the Yan'an Revolutionary Memorial Hall—one of the earliest revolutionary memorial halls established after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Here, the tour group was profoundly inspired by the spirit of Yan'an, the sacred land of the revolution: (1) A firm and correct political orientation is the soul of the Yan'an Spirit; (2) The guiding principle of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts is the essence of the Yan'an Spirit; (3) The fundamental tenet of wholehearted service to the people is the essence of the Yan'an Spirit; (4) The entrepreneurial spirit of self-reliance and hard struggle is the hallmark of the Yan'an Spirit. Company 369’s culture is closely aligned with the Yan'an Spirit.

    On the sixth day, the tour group traveled to Hukou Waterfall—the second-largest waterfall in China and the world’s largest yellow waterfall. The roar of the Yellow River’s Hukou Waterfall is like thunder, its spectacle truly awe-inspiring. Renowned worldwide for its unique, overwhelming majesty, Hukou is not only the largest yellow waterfall in the world but also a symbol of the great Chinese nation. As massive waves plunge down from the dramatic drop into the valley below, they stir up clouds of mist and vapor, creating an exceptionally breathtaking scene. Standing by the riverbank and gazing at the waterfall, visitors can’t help but burst into song with the mighty and heroic lyrics: “The wind is roaring, the horses are neighing, the Yellow River is bellowing!”

    After visiting Hukou, the tour group will take a private vehicle to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor—Huangdi Ling—and the Xuanyuan Temple, the ancestral tomb of Xuanyuan Huangdi, the founding ancestor of the Chinese nation. As descendants of Yan and Huang, we come here to commemorate our forefathers and express gratitude for the happy life we enjoy today.
    Afterward, the tour group arrived in the ancient capital, Xi'an. In Xi'an, the group visited the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor—the site hailed as “the Eighth Wonder of the World”—as well as Huaqing Pool, a renowned imperial garden from the Tang Dynasty; Daci'en Temple, a famous and largest-scale imperial monastery of the Tang Dynasty; the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Asia’s largest musical fountain square; the Shaanxi History Museum, China’s first large-scale modern museum; the Great Tang Furong Garden, China’s first large-scale cultural theme park designed as an imperial garden that comprehensively showcases the splendor of the Tang Dynasty; the internet-famous check-in spot—Daxian Night City; the Ming City Wall—the best-preserved ancient city wall architecture still standing in China—as well as its Bell Tower and Drum Tower; and Mount Hua, known as “the Most Magnificent Mountain Under Heaven” and one of the Five Sacred Mountains, located in the western part of the region.

    Finally, the 2020 Zhengda Machinery & Electronics Tourism Group joined forces with two other executive tourism teams—led by Wang Zhenghu, President and founder of Zhengda Machinery & Electronics, and Lin Yi, General Manager of Zero One Industry—who had departed shortly afterward—in Xi'an to celebrate the grand opening of Xi'an Zhengyi Long Electrical Automation Co., Ltd.
