The Grand Opening of Tiaobaiyuan: A Heyuan Story
Our second day in Heyuan was marked by the high energy of a grand occasion: the factory opening ceremony for Tiaobaiyuan. The air was electric, a celebration of growth and new beginnings.
The Ceremonial Overture
The morning began with a flourish of tradition. The deep, powerful rhythm of a close up of a wooden lion dance drum set the mood for the performance. Before the spectacle began, a dedicated lion dancer in a red costume practicing on a bench meticulously refined their steps. The tools of the celebration—a lion dance drum on a red cart with a set of cymbals sit on the ground—were staged and ready.
Signs of a New Era
Tiaobaiyuan's new identity was proudly on display. Guests were warmly greeted by a man and woman standing in front of a red sign up wall. The company's name was prominently announced on a large red sign. The new facility stood tall—a red and white building with a sign on it, flanked by a corresponding red and white wall—all signaling the dawn of a new era. A large red banner hung high above, confirming the scale and importance of the event.
The Main Event
The official program was guided with grace by a poised female host standing in front of a red wall. Attendees mingled, discussing the future around a group of people standing around a table. The moment everyone awaited arrived as a group of people standing on a stage with two dancing lions officially began the main spectacle. The lion dance performance on the stage was a magnificent, energetic display meant to usher in good fortune. Finally, the symbolic moment of dedication arrived as a group of people standing around a red ribbon prepared for the ceremonial cutting, officially opening the new factory.
Unexpected Details
As the formal ceremony concluded, a blend of the old and the new emerged in smaller, personal details. We spotted a vibrant close up of a flower with leaves thriving nearby and the unexpected sight of a man riding a skateboard down a sidewalk. A Nokia phone in a box, a relic from a different time, offered a moment of nostalgia. Local flavors were available for sampling: a jar of hairy fig and a white plate with a few buns of food on it. The surroundings were picturesque, with a distinct sculpture with a blue sky overhead. Visitors were easily guided through the well-organized area by a clear sign with a direction to different places.
The factory opening was a memorable experience, perfectly capturing Heyuan's spirit—a blend of cultural reverence and industrial aspiration.
