On the day off, head coach Lang Ping led the whole team to visit the ancient town of Yunshui in Nanjing County to visit the very distinctive Fujian Tulou Group.

At the 2017 National Games, Xu Yunli was seriously injured again during the game and faded out of the game, and in January 2019 she said that she had retired from the army and is now a physical education teacher at Fujian Normal University. Nowadays, the Chinese women's volleyball team is training in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, taking advantage of the opportunity of the team to go out to play, Xu Yunli also returned to the team and played with her former teammates.
Playing Yunshui Ancient Town is a rare opportunity for the Chinese women's volleyball team to relax, and the women's volleyball girls taste food in the tulou and experience the characteristic culture. Perhaps it was too sunny, and many team members wore sunglasses or straw hats for sun protection. Captain Zhu Ting put the straw hat behind him and played a puppet show with the head coach Lang Ping, the two of them each held a puppeteer dressed in big red, the master and apprentice played very devotedly, and also attracted many tourists to watch and take pictures.
As the leader of the Chinese women's queue, Zhu Ting's popularity naturally goes without saying, when playing in the ancient town, many tourists asked her for a group photo, Zhu Ting met the tourists' group photo requirements, carrying a straw hat, standing there looked very well-behaved.
Zhang Changning wears a pair of sunglasses, exuding a confident brilliance and full of coolness. The tired women's volleyball girls sat together in pairs to rest, some played with mobile phones, some chatted casually, they also signed on the volleyball, I don't know if it is a gift to the scenic spot. After this visit, the team members will continue to conduct closed training until the end of March, after which the team members will return to their local teams to prepare for the next National Games qualifiers. After the end of the competition, the Chinese women's volleyball team regrouped, and on May 1, the Japanese women's volleyball team will play a Tokyo Olympic simulation match.
