On August 11-13, Shizhen, Gan, Junwen met Xu Yue in Guiyang on the 8th Conference on Environmental Geochemistry. It was really nice to see Xu Yue after seemingly a long time. Meanwhile we met many familiar faces in the circuit. Gan gave an oral presentation on radiocarbon in the atmosphere. After the conference, Xu Yue arranged a casual trip to the upper reach of Wujiang River (乌江源), which is very memorable.
On August 2nd and August 3rd, a small group led by Shizhen Zhao（赵时真）and Pingyang Li （李平阳）went to 花都竹洞村 and 万山岛, respectively, to set up intensive air sampling sites. Lele Tian（田乐乐）, Jianchu Ma （马建初）, Yingjian Shao（邵英健）and Weiru Wang （王惟儒）also participated in arranging the sampling materials and laying out sampling site at Huadu. Kun He（何坤）and Jianchu Ma （马建初）got involved in setting up sampling site at Wanshan Island (万山岛). We also found great places for Kun and Yingjian to live and work at Wanshan Island and Huadu, respectively. The weather was so hot that all of us were back with sweat streaming down our backs.
So many stuffs well arranged by Lele.

Attractive living and working conditions for Yingjian. 
Tired but happy.
On July 19th, the Air-Omics Squad（爱米小分队） along with Guizhen Fang( 方贵桢） from Sun Yat-sen University investigated the marine environment monitoring station as a viable air sampling site at Wanshan island （万山岛）. Upon arrival, we indulged in delicious fresh seafood recommended by Fang, savoring the island experience. Great views of the sea shore could be perfectly captured on the roof top of the sampling site. After fully investigated, we hopped on a sightseeing vehicle and embarked on a comprehensive tour of the island. The winding roads and picturesque landscapes unfolded before our eyes, offering glimpses of the island’s natural scenery. Hope to visit here again!
