Exploring the Spring Fields – A Record of Rongda Technology International Department's One-Day Trip to Xiangshan Rock Rongjie Garden in April

The tail end of April marks the most vibrant time of spring, with the verdant hills and fields mingled with the fragrance of earth, bursting with life. The 2017 Rongda Technology International Department's Spring Exploration Trip kicked off on April 22nd at Xiangshan Rock and Rongjie Garden in Xiang'an. April is the most beautiful time of year, with spring colors blooming across the mountains. Gazing at the egrets in Xiangshan, let us share this blissful moment.

Follow our lens to experience the vibrant springtime countryside and the intoxicating fragrance of the verdant wonderland!

? ? ? ? In the early morning, with laughter and chatter, the international students, traveling by bus along the winding mountain road and enjoying the flowers and green leaves along the way, arrived at Xiangshan Rock, a place known as "Three Lions, Six Tigers, and Seven Qilin".

? ? ? ? The ancient Xiangshan Rock Temple, built against the mountain and facing west, is a double-eaved building with a "two tigers descending the mountain" motif. Experiencing it, one can still feel its thousand-year-old charm; it is truly a place of flourishing incense offerings. A stream flows in front of the temple, a scene of lush greenery and tranquility. Time has washed away the traces of a thousand years.

Ascending the bluestone steps, the mountain gate opens. A poem immediately catches the eye: "Endless layers of peaks, clapping hands towards Fragrant Hills. Raising a white cup to the sky's hue, I come to recognize the sacred face. The pavilion is shrouded in mist, the stream murmurs over the rocks. At dusk, amidst the hazy mist, our meeting is not too late." How wonderful! How wonderful!

Master Qingshui, radiating compassionate light, stands atop the cliffs of Xiangshan Mountain, receiving the worship of countless pilgrims throughout the year. The mundane world, like a fleeting glimpse of a rainbow, has become one with Xiangshan. The religious aura, like the verdant mountains, seems to whisper tales of a thousand years past.

? ? ? ? The green hills remain, refreshed by the spring breeze. Ancient paths and trails, birdsong and fragrant flowers, verdant pavilions and lush greenery—a vibrant scene of life bursts forth from the branches. Spring's beauty, as if intentionally drawn, touches the heart.

Leaning on the railing, the entire heart of Xiang'an unfolds before my eyes. Looking out from the railing, the sound of the sea crashing against Kinmen never ceases. Though the world may hold magnificent scenery, none can match the fortune of this day. Today, I hear the wind and the waves, and sit watching the clouds drift and gather. Life's joys are varied and multifaceted. The intoxicating spring scenery brings smiles to my face; how many more times will this fragrance grace the world?

Not only is there endless greenery, but also refreshingly beautiful women. The ladies of Rongda Technology, with their youthful energy, are showcasing a beauty as radiant as a flower. Amidst a riot of blooming flowers, they alone possess a delicate shyness. Reflecting on the past and present, only their refreshing beauty remains in the world.

After enjoying the spring scenery of Fragrant Hills, the group arrived at Rongjie Garden's self-service fruit picking garden. They experienced the joy of relaxation through their own harvest. The orchard boasted a wide variety of fruits, too numerous to choose from. Upon entering, the garden's gates opened wide, welcoming guests from all over the world – a truly delightful sight.

April is the month of abundant guava fruits. Red guava and pearl guava hang heavy on the branches, each fruit a joyful reminder of its ripeness. Baskets gradually fill as people wander through the orchard, laughter echoing throughout. Papayas, heavy with fruit, beckon to visitors. Tomatoes, scattered along the fence, add a touch of fragrance to the orchard.

As the sun gradually set, the festivities at the orchard came to an end. With weary faces, all the colleagues boarded the bus for their return journey.
Spring's journey unfolds through verdant fields, all its beauty vividly manifesting in the present scene. Let us breathe and run freely on this spring earth, just as Rongda, like a train, bursts into bloom in spring, blooming at the beginning of the year! May Rongda, in its initial burst, reach the pinnacle of success.
