ZOEPACK Team Building Trip to Hengdian: An Unforgettable Experience

Our recent team-building trip to Hengdian, the renowned “Hollywood of China,” was an experience that none of us will soon forget. Located in the eastern province of Zhejiang, Hengdian is famous for its vast film and TV production studios, where historical dramas, action films, and even international productions are made. It turned out to be the perfect destination for fostering teamwork, creativity, and bonding among colleagues.

Day 1: Exploring the Film Studios

Upon arriving in Hengdian, we were immediately struck by the scale and grandeur of the film sets. The first day was dedicated to exploring the iconic Hengdian World Studios. From the bustling streets designed to look like ancient Beijing to massive replicas of palaces and temples, it felt like stepping into a time machine. As we toured the sets, we had the opportunity to take part in a mini film shoot, where everyone got a chance to wear costumes and pretend to be part of a historical drama. This was not only fun but also allowed us to experience firsthand the hard work and creativity that goes into film production.

The highlight of the day was our team-building activity—an interactive scavenger hunt across the studio. Divided into groups, we followed clues and completed challenges, such as reenacting famous movie scenes or solving riddles related to Chinese history. This activity encouraged collaboration, problem-solving, and communication, all while letting us enjoy the creative spirit of the place.

Day 2: Immersing in Hengdian’s Rich Culture

The next day, we delved into Hengdian’s cultural offerings. We visited the famous Hengdian Palace, a stunning replica of the Forbidden City, and wandered through ancient streets filled with traditional Chinese architecture. We also participated in a cultural workshop where we learned the basics of Chinese calligraphy and painting. Working together on a collaborative art project allowed us to tap into our artistic sides and develop a deeper appreciation for Chinese heritage.

Later in the day, we enjoyed a traditional Chinese meal, complete with a tea ceremony. It was a chance for everyone to relax and bond over delicious food while experiencing the elegance of Chinese tea culture.

Day 3: Adventure and Reflection

On our final day in Hengdian, we ventured outside the film studios to experience the natural beauty of the region. We went on a hike to a nearby mountain, where we enjoyed breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The hike was a reminder of the importance of perseverance and working together as a team to overcome challenges. At the summit, we paused to reflect on our journey, both in Hengdian and as a team.

In the afternoon, we took part in a friendly competition of archery and other traditional sports. These activities promoted teamwork, focus, and a little bit of friendly rivalry. It was a perfect way to end our trip—energized, happy, and closer than ever.

Conclusio: Memorabilis experientia

Our team-building trip to Hengdian was more than just a fun getaway—it was an opportunity to strengthen our bonds, tap into our creative potential, and immerse ourselves in the culture of one of China’s most unique locations. We left Hengdian with new memories, a deeper sense of camaraderie, and a renewed spirit of collaboration.
