Wanda Realm Reaches 50 Operating Hotels with Xiaogan Opening

On September 16, Wanda Hotels & Resorts announced that with the opening of Wanda Realm Xiaogan, its upper-upscale Wanda Realm brand reached 50 operating hotels. Starting from its first property in Ningde in 2012, the brand now covers core cities such as Beijing, Nanjing, Wuhan and Harbin as well as lower-tier markets including Fuyang, Guangyuan and Neijiang. The Xiaogan property's interiors were designed by Wanda Hotel Design Institute, incorporating Yunmeng marsh and Chu culture motifs, with intangible heritage experiences such as carved paper-cutting.
