Introduction
At Guangdong Girafe New Material Technology Co., Ltd., we don’t just manufacture high-performance silicone sealants and MS sealants—we also prioritize the well-being and camaraderie of our employees.

This trip wasn’t just about relaxation—it was a testament to our company’s commitment to work-life balance, employee satisfaction, and team cohesion. Despite the torrential downpour on June 17, our team’s enthusiasm never wavered. Here’s a detailed recap of our adventure, showcasing why “High Standards Demand Girafe” applies not only to our products but also to our corporate culture.
Day 1: Arrival, Exploration & Adrenaline-Fueled Fun

Check-in & Beachside Relaxation
At 1:30 PM, we arrived at the luxurious Golden Gulf Jiahua Resort for check-in. The resort’s oceanfront villas and tropical ambiance instantly put everyone in vacation mode. After settling in, we had free time to explore Mozi Stone Park or simply unwind on the beach.
Delta Island Adventure & High-Speed Thrills
The highlight of the day was the speedboat ride to Delta Island (3:00 PM – 5:00 PM). Despite some choppy waves, our team embraced the adventure, snorkeling, swimming, and even playing beach volleyball. The teamwork and encouragement displayed were a perfect reflection of our workplace dynamics.
Dinner & Spectacular Car Stunt Show
After freshening up, we enjoyed a sumptuous group dinner (6:30 PM – 7:30 PM) before heading to the Huajia Ban Car Stunt Show (8:00 PM – 9:30 PM).

Breakfast & Journey to Twin Moon Bay
Despite heavy rainfall, our team was up early for a hearty buffet breakfast (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM). By 9:00 AM, we set off for Twin Moon Bay, one of Guangdong’s most breathtaking coastal spots.
Reef Bar & Scenic Overlook
At 10:00 AM, we visited the trendy Reef Bar, a social media hotspot where employees snapped group photos against the stormy ocean backdrop. The rain didn’t dampen our spirits—instead, it made the experience more memorable and adventurous.
After lunch (12:00 PM – 1:00 PM), we trekked up to the Twin Moon Bay Observation Deck (1:00 PM – 2:30 PM). The panoramic view of the dual crescent-shaped bays was worth every slippery step!
