As the ancient poem by Li Bai goes, “Amidst March’s mist and blossoms, we head to Yangzhou” — our research team embarked on a spring retreat to this picturesque city. We immersed ourselves in its poetic charm: gentle breezes, drizzling rain, swaying willow branches, and blooming magnolias. Gliding on a painted boat, we admired the delicate willows leaning over the water. Under the warmth of spring, we wandered through pavilions and towers, let our spirits soar freely on the iconic Twenty-Four Bridges, and soaked in the vibrant spring scenery that blankets the city. Pure serenity and delight!
