With the objective of strengthening employee team building, increasing team cohesion, nurturing team spirit and collaboration interest, and for everyone to let off some steam and enhance internal communication among employees in the afternoon of October 13, 2017, SSAI launched a one-and-a-half-day team trip to Xunliao Bay, which boasts so-called
"Godsent white shores’.

After eating lunch, three passenger coaches hit the road heading for Xunliao Bay in Huidong County for a seaside
adventure. Everyone took advantage and napped during the ride and the tour guide briefly made some announcements
regarding safety and the itinerary. It took a bit more than 2 hours to get to the Sea Park at Xunliao Bay smoothly. When
arriving at the reserved hotel there, we saw the automatic e-banner at the hotel door welcoming us. Each of the rooms
we reserved had a fantastic view of the sea and the beach.

After placing our luggage in the guest rooms and resting for a short while, we gathered at the Sea Park Expansion Base at
3:15 pm, where we enjoyed the sea breeze, beach and the crystal-clear sea. Strolling along the winding coastline, gazing
at the blue sky and white clouds, and basking in the sunshine, we marveled at the glorious sun and fresh air of nature.
Xunliao Bay, also called the Eastern Maldives, is like a painting, with reefs, rocks, mountains and fishing boats in the
distance. Along the coastline, the golden light of the sun shone on the sea, while waves splashed the coast, it was quite
picturesque.

Our trainers at the base had already set up tents on the beach and prepared many activities. After warm-ups, our team
was divided into four groups. Then, through brainstorming among members of each group, each group came up with their
names and slogans which were shown on placards: Fishing (Catch you all), Sharks (No Match), Invincible (Universally
Invincible), and No.1 (Always First). It seemed that all groups were not to be underestimated. Which would win? Wait and
see! It turned out that the Sharks won the championship with the highest total score. Seems like their slogan was pretty
telling!

Our uniform clothing - men in white and women in red - stood out as a beautiful sight on the beach. Many tourists were
attracted by the laughter and cheering along the beach and the fun games and activities we played drew lots of attention.
A team needs effective communication and collaboration among team members to outmatch an opponent. Apart from
making everyone active on the beach, the games were intended to make everyone understand that no matter whether
facing success or failure, we must stay optimistic with a strong sense of competition and high spirits in both our lives and
learning. Perhaps our daily work is repetitive and dry, but we must bear in mind that excellence is present even in doing
small things well, but working together with colleagues is a joyful thing.
