With autumn’s crisp air and the mountains meeting the sea, our intercity “Stellar Trek” set off on November 9 under clear skies, uniting SONT teams from Shenzhen and Nanchang.

The Departure—Always the Most Meaningful Step
Our hike, themed “Light of the Cosmos: Stride Together”,challenged teams to collect the most “Cosmic Lights” through a series of games and trials. The team with the highest tally would earn the title “Interstellar Pioneer” and a cash bonus.

Shenzhen’s explorers formed five squads bound for Heipaijiao Coast in Huizhou, while Nanchang’s eight teams headed to Guifeng Peak in Shangrao. Despite jagged seaside rocks and winding mountain paths, everyone pressed on courageously—because that first step is always the most meaningful.

Breathtaking Scenery, Unshakable Confidence
In Shenzhen, teams navigated Heipaijiao’s reef-strewn shores, where white waves crashed like piles of snow between rocks and sand, so mesmerizing that time seemed to stand still.
Meanwhile in Nanchang, explorers climbed Guifeng’s uniquely shaped peaks, marveling at the forested vistas and savoring every moment of natural beauty.

“The best experiences are those moments when we strive together toward a shared goal.”

Interstellar Challenges Along the Way
Teams faced five “cosmic” stations:

1. Stellar Pulse: Photo checkpoints

2. Interstellar Market: Trade “Star Stones” for energy supplies

3. Cosmic Challenge: A fun roosterfight game

4. Void Behemoth: Dicerolling contest with the coach

5. Stellar Vortex: Paperbetweenknees relay

With creativity and teamwork, every squad conquered each task. Each victory crowned the team and deepened everyone’s sense of collective strength. Along the majestic coast and through the serene woods, laughter and camaraderie made the long trek feel short—transforming the joy of hiking into a shared, unforgettable experience.

Honor Belongs to Every Finisher
In the end, Shenzhen’s Tiger Team claimed the “Interstellar Pioneer” title and a CNY 1,000 team prize. In Nanchang, the Rhino Team and Panda Team tied for the honor, earning CNY 900 and 500 respectively. Though only some squads took top spots, every adventurer who crossed the finish line shares in the glory—their footprints and sweat marking each triumph.

“One may walk fast alone, but together we travel farther.”

Our “Stellar Trek” has concluded in success, a journey of courage, wisdom, speed, and teamwork. Beyond deepening bonds among colleagues, it ignited our collective resolve to face challenges headon. As we return to our daily work, we carry forward the same spirit and perseverance—supporting each other, collaborating closely, and striving together toward our team’s goals!
