Watertown Charms | Geron Steel Wire's Wuzhen Retreat
2017-02-10
A Timeless Destination
Nestled along the Grand Canal at the Jiangsu-Zhejiang border, Wuzhen epitomizes China's watertown legacy—where Ming-Qing architecture meets cutting-edge tech as the permanent venue for the World Internet Conference.
Journey to the Past
June 5 – The Steel Wire Business Unit orchestrated a cultural escape for 40+ frontline and office staff from Production, QC, and Admin teams. As dawn broke, our bus erupted in camaraderie:
- Aunt Liang's soaring rendition of "The Heavenly Maid and the Mortal"
- Jiang Haizhong's flirtatious duet with the tour guide
- A raucous "Wuzhen Chill Group" red envelope spree
Postcard-Perfect Explorations
Guided through cobblestone alleys, we discovered:
1. Waterway Wonders
Willow-fringed canals mirrored black-tented boats, their bamboo poles sketching ripples—a scene plucked from ink paintings.
2. Heritage Treasures
- Century-Old Beds Museum: Jaw-dropping qiangong beds carved with 1,000 craftsman-days
- Indigo Fabric Canopies: Sky-high drapes of traditional blue calico glowing in sunlight
- Mao Dun Memorial: Paying homage to China's literary titan
3. Numismatic Marvels
A local collector's 40-year passion unveiled:
- 20,000+ historic banknotes/coins from 230 nations
- Vintage grain ration tickets sparking generational nostalgia
Free-Time Adventures
Splitting into small groups, we watched opera at ancient theaters, captured misty bridges with smartphones, savored zongzi and stinky tofu (Wuzhen's iconic bites) and bought indigo scarves—transforming colleagues into 1930s-style icons.
Why This Matters
This annual tradition:
- Recharges teams through cultural immersion
- Bridges history and modernity in line with Geron's values
- Strengthens bonds beyond workplace roles
As dusk fell, reluctant goodbyes were softened by a photo-sharing spree on WeChat—each snapshot a testament to Wuzhen's magic.
"The trip didn't just show us beauty—it reminded us why we work hard: to protect these timeless treasures for future generations." — Production Team Lead Zhang Wei
