CIBR students' Spring Outing Day

A gentle breeze stirs the willows, birds sing, and flowers bloom—it's the perfect season for spring outings and enjoying the beauty of nature. To enhance graduate students' physical fitness and promote friendly communication between teachers and students, on April 1st, the CIBR Student Union organized a spring outing to Beijing Xishan National Forest Park for a hiking and mountain climbing activity. More than 40 teachers and students participated in this event.

At 9 a.m., the participating teachers and students gathered at the entrance of Phase II of the center. Amid laughter and cheerful voices, the group of CIBR faculty and students arrived at the East Gate of Beijing Xishan National Forest Park and took a group photo to commemorate the occasion.

Beijing Xishan National Forest Park is located in the Xiaoxishan area of western Beijing and offers multiple routes including mountain trails, forest paths, and fitness trails. The Xishan mountain peaches and forsythias bloom in competition, their pink and golden hues vividly contrasting against the green pines and cypresses, creating a vibrant spring atmosphere. During the hike, students from different laboratories enthusiastically shared their recent research experiences, and the steep, rugged mountain paths did not dampen anyone’s enthusiasm for reaching the summit.

After two hours of hiking, everyone successively arrived at Xishan Guixiao Rock, checked in and took photos. Behind them stretched an unobstructed panoramic view of Beijing and the most beautiful skyline. After a full day of spring outing and nature walks, everyone felt greatly relaxed.

Stepping out of the laboratory and into nature. This spring outing not only allowed teachers and students to relax beyond their research and studies and improve their physical fitness but also strengthened the cohesion and unity among the people of CIBR.
