As the sun dipped below the horizon, we gathered for a fine dining experience that truly tantalized our taste buds. The fresh seafood, particularly the grilled squid and clams, showcased Pingtan's culinary treasures, seamlessly blended with a twist of Western cuisine. The elegant ambiance set the stage for our anniversary awards ceremony, where team members were recognized for their outstanding contributions over the years.

After a delightful lunch, our adventure led us to the Changjiangao Windmill Field. Here, we were awestruck by the impressive technology intertwined with the beautiful natural surroundings.
