1. Introduction: A Break from the Factory Floor

At ACOOLDA, we’re known for crafting top-quality insulated delivery bags, handbags, and backpacks since 2013. But beyond our 12,000+ sqm production facilities in Yangchun, Guangdong, we’re a family of over 400 passionate team members. On May 21, 2025, we swapped our workstations for hiking boots and headed to the Gushui River Scenic Area in Zhaoqing, Guangdong, for a team-building adventure that left us refreshed and closer than ever.

2. Why Gushui River Scenic Area?

Choosing the Gushui River wasn’t random. This scenic gem, nestled in Zhaoqing, is famous for its lush bamboo forests, clear streams, and tranquil trails. It’s the perfect backdrop for a day of unplugging and reconnecting. For a team that spends its days ensuring B2B clients get the best insulated solutions, this natural escape offered a chance to recharge and soak up inspiration from the great outdoors.

3. Setting Off with Ranny’s Leadership

Led by our inspiring leader, Ranny, the day kicked off with high energy. Ranny’s vision for ACOOLDA goes beyond manufacturing excellence—he believes a strong team is built on shared experiences. With his encouragement, we gathered early, ready to tackle a 10km hike. His enthusiasm set the tone, reminding us that teamwork makes the dream work, whether in the factory or on the trail.

4. The 10km Trek: A Journey Through Nature

The 10km hike was no small feat, but it was a blast! Winding through the Gushui River trails, we navigated gentle slopes, rocky paths, and shaded groves. The physical challenge brought out laughter, cheers, and a few sweaty high-fives. For many of us, it was a refreshing change from the precision of stitching bags or managing production lines—it was about moving together as one.

5. Bamboo Groves and Babbling Streams

The scenery stole the show. Towering bamboo groves swayed in the breeze, casting dappled light on the paths. Crystal-clear streams babbled alongside us, inviting a few brave souls to dip their toes during a break. The beauty of Gushui reminded us why we care about sustainability in our products—nature’s worth protecting, and it inspires us to keep innovating eco-friendly solutions.

6. Moments of Team Connection

What made the day special wasn’t just the views—it was the moments we shared. From helping each other over tricky trail sections to swapping stories during lunch, we bonded in ways that Zoom calls and factory floors can’t replicate. New hires chatted with veterans, designers brainstormed with production staff, and everyone left with stronger ties to the ACOOLDA family.

7. Balancing Work and Wellness

At ACOOLDA, we know that a happy team is a productive team. This hike was more than a fun outing—it was a chance to prioritize wellness. The fresh air, exercise, and laughter were a reset button for our busy lives. With over a decade in the bag industry and BSCI/ISO9001 certifications under our belt, we’re proud to invest in experiences that keep our team energized and connected.

8. ACOOLDA’s Commitment to Team Culture

Since our founding in 2013, ACOOLDA has grown from a small operation to a leader in insulated bag manufacturing, serving global B2B clients. But our success isn’t just about products—it’s about people. Events like this reflect our commitment to fostering a culture where everyone feels valued. From regular training sessions to team-building days, we’re building a community that thrives together.

9. Reflections from the Trail

As we wrapped up the hike, the mood was electric. Team members shared how the day sparked new ideas, from improving workflows to designing even better delivery bags. Others spoke about feeling recharged and ready to tackle new challenges. For Ranny, seeing the team come together in nature was a reminder of why we do what we do—because a united team can achieve anything.

10. What’s Next for Team ACOOLDA?

This Gushui River adventure is just one chapter in our story. We’re already dreaming up the next team-building event—maybe a riverside picnic or a creative workshop? Whatever it is, we’ll keep nurturing the spirit that makes ACOOLDA special. Want to partner with a company that’s as passionate about its people as its products?
