Farewell to “Yiwu Speed”: Tieteng Hardware Team Enjoys Annual Team-Building Retreat at Qiandao Lake

December 28, 2025 — Stepping away from the fast-paced rhythm often referred to as “Yiwu Speed,” the foreign trade team of Tieteng Hardware Tools Co., Ltd. embarked on a one-day annual team-building retreat to the scenic Qiandao Lake. Surrounded by nature’s tranquility, the event aimed to help employees relax, strengthen team cohesion, and recharge both physically and mentally for the year ahead.

Immersed in Nature at Qiandao Lake Botanical Garden

The journey began early in the morning as the team departed from Yiwu and arrived at their first stop, the Qiandao Lake Botanical Garden. Filled with lush greenery and diverse plant species, the garden offered a refreshing contrast to the team’s usual work environment.

Strolling through the peaceful pathways, team members explored various botanical varieties and appreciated the harmony of the natural ecosystem. For professionals accustomed to handling hardware tools and managing international orders, gently touching leaves and branches became a unique sensory experience—one far removed from steel, machinery, and production lines.

A Panoramic View from Tianyu Mountain

In the afternoon, the team ascended to the Tianyu Mountain Observation Deck, one of the best viewpoints overlooking Qiandao Lake. From above, countless islands appeared scattered across crystal-clear waters, forming a breathtaking natural panorama.

Standing together at the summit, employees momentarily set aside their daily mission of “connecting products to global markets” and immersed themselves in the beauty of mountains and water. Cameras clicked frequently as colleagues captured memorable moments, preserving the serenity and inspiration found in the landscape.

Sunset Moments by the Lakeside

As evening approached, the group gathered along the lakeshore to witness the sunset. The golden glow of the setting sun shimmered across the lake, creating ripples of warm light that reflected the calm atmosphere of the moment.

Side by side, colleagues who usually communicate through emails, contracts, and logistics updates now shared relaxed conversations about work, life, and future goals. With cameras in hand, they captured the fleeting beauty of the sunset—symbolic of reflection, renewal, and shared direction.

Strengthening Team Spirit and Shared Vision

At the conclusion of the event, Mr. Zhang, General Manager of Tieteng Hardware Tools Co., Ltd., shared his thoughts:

“This team-building activity was not only about relaxation, but also about connection. When people walk together toward the light, they naturally understand tomorrow’s direction.”

The peaceful setting of Qiandao Lake provided an ideal opportunity for the team to reset and strengthen mutual trust, laying a solid foundation for stronger collaboration in the coming year.

Commitment to People-Centered Corporate Culture

Tieteng Hardware Tools Co., Ltd. has long emphasized team development and corporate culture as key pillars of sustainable growth. This retreat reflects the company’s commitment to employee well-being and its advocacy for a healthy balance between work and life.

Founded with a strong focus on hardware tool research, development, and manufacturing, Tieteng’s products are exported to multiple countries and regions worldwide. Guided by a “people-oriented” management philosophy, the company regularly organizes team activities to enhance employee engagement, belonging, and cohesion.

Looking ahead, the Tieteng team is ready to return to work with renewed energy, stronger unity, and a shared belief that passion and dreams can illuminate even the earliest dawn of new challenges.
