Shangli Ancient Town: A Place of Rustic Charm

The Ulupure team, having visited almost every ancient town in Sichuan, was still captivated and enchanted by the unpretentious charm of Shangli—the weathered ancient bridges, towering ancient trees, antique houses, ancient streets, pagodas, caves, and archways, coupled with the simple and honest folk customs… all showcased its centuries-old historical charm. And we, the Ulupure people, with our youthful energy and vibrant spirit, added a unique modern touch to this ancient town…

Famous Mountain in Sichuan—Mengding Sacred Mountain

The next day at 8:00 AM, the Ulupure people set off for the second destination of this spring outing—Mengding Mountain, a national AAAA-level tourist area!

Mengding Mountain is a sacred mountain of world tea culture, the birthplace of world tea culture, the cradle of world tea civilization, and the starting point of the ancient Tea Horse Road. Mount Mengding, along with Mount Qingcheng and Mount Emei, has been known as one of the three famous mountains in Sichuan since ancient times, with the richest history and culture among them. Looking west from Mount Mengding, one can see Mount Emei, Mount Wawu, and Mount Zhougong; looking east, one sees flat plains, undulating mountains, and crisscrossing streams—a picturesque landscape. In 1935, during the Long March, the Red Army left behind a large number of revolutionary relics on Mount Mengding, which remain vividly visible to this day.

A Test of Perseverance

At the very beginning of the scenic area, the company organized a "Staircase Climbing Competition" involving over two thousand steps. This was a true test of physical strength and perseverance, and a true reflection of the Ulupure spirit. At the command of the company president, the men's and women's teams surged forward like a torrent, disappearing into the lush forest in the blink of an eye… Cheers of encouragement echoed throughout the race, reaching the finish line in less than 20 minutes. Amidst the deafening cheers, the top ten finishers in both the men's and women's teams were determined:
