The "closed loop" of wellness real estate has been found at Beijing Valley.
When the conceptual output of an industry far exceeds its actual delivery, external scrutiny becomes particularly important.
The health - care real estate around Beijing is a typical example. In the past few years, projects under the guise of health - care have blossomed everywhere. However, the vast majority ultimately stumbled at the same point - delivery. Reduced supporting facilities, stagnant operations, and vacant communities have become the norm in this sector.
But this doesn't mean there is no market demand. On the contrary, the supply - demand contradiction in Beijing's health - care market is quite acute. According to the "Report on the Development of Beijing's Aging Cause (2024)", at the end of 2024, the permanent population aged 60 and above in the city exceeded 5.14 million, of which more than 80% belong to the low - age healthy elderly group. What they need is not traditional nursing - style elderly care, but high - quality residences that combine quality of life, medical security, and all - around physical and mental health care.
Meanwhile, the sub - health problems of the urban young and middle - aged groups are also driving the expansion of the boundaries of health - care demand. A large number of "office workers" among the young and middle - aged also need a "distant place" close by to heal their short - term physical and mental fatigue.
Within Beijing's one - hour living circle, there has long been a lack of a complete health - care solution that truly integrates the four dimensions of ecology, medical care, healing, and living. This structural gap is the core coordinate for understanding the market performance of Beijing Valley.

Ecological resources are the core barrier for health - care residential areas and the core value that differentiates them from ordinary residential products.
Beijing Valley is located in Xinglong, Chengde, within a one - hour drive from Beijing. The forest coverage rate in the area reaches 71.2%, and the negative oxygen ion concentration is nearly 100 times that of Beijing's urban area. It has won the honor of "China's Top 100 Breath - taking Small Cities" for many consecutive years. The average summer temperature is only 22 degrees Celsius, and in winter, the original mountain forests form a natural windbreak, creating an all - season climate system of "summer cooling and winter warming", which strengthens the core foundation for health - care living from the natural base level.
However, ecology alone is not enough. The real threshold of health - care real estate lies not in "beautiful scenery", but in the "health" supported by medical service capabilities, the "care" planned by supporting social and cultural and entertainment facilities, and the systematic guarantee of "timely handling in case of emergencies", enabling people to truly "live, play, and be well - cared for".
Beijing Valley's approach is to establish a complete medical - care closed - loop in addition to ecological supporting facilities.
Recently, the nearly 4,000 - square - meter China Power Construction Rehabilitation Hospital within the project was officially put into use. This is not a symbolic health station, but a professional medical institution equipped with the same - level equipment as a tertiary - grade A hospital, such as Siemens CT, MRI, and capsule endoscopy, and with core functional areas such as a 24 - hour emergency department, general practice outpatient, digital physical examination center, and rehabilitation center, allowing residents to truly "treat minor illnesses without leaving the valley". On this basis, Beijing Valley will open green channels with many well - known hospitals in Beijing, ensuring "green channels for serious illnesses".

The project has also innovatively implemented the "Five - Professional Co - management" model - a multi - disciplinary team composed of clinical physicians, traditional Chinese medicine physicians and health managers, nutritionists, sports managers, and psychological counselors, covering the whole - cycle health management from scientific advice on daily diet to precise guidance on sports rehabilitation. In the future, special services such as health screenings, health lectures, rehabilitation physiotherapy, and chronic disease care will be carried out regularly in the community, and exclusive health records will be established for residents, upgrading the health - care model from "passive medical treatment" to "active health preservation and early intervention".
This is one of the very few projects around Beijing that truly integrates the entire chain of "daily health care - chronic disease management - characteristic healing - emergency treatment".

For health - care projects, natural resources and hardware are just the foundation, and the real challenge lies in operation.
Health - care projects around Beijing have an almost unavoidable weakness: seasonal vacancy. There are more people in summer and fewer in winter. The consequence of this tidal - style usage pattern is that it is difficult for the community to form a stable living atmosphere.
Beijing Valley's response is to carry out operation in advance, cultivate the "popularity", and at the same time improve the team's operation experience.
Adhering to the core development concept of "first supporting facilities, then sales", Beijing Valley has steadily fulfilled all - dimensional living scenarios: In 2023, the Valley Shopping Street opened brilliantly, with the developer self - operating more than 15 characteristic business forms. In the same year, the QINGPU・Jilai Hotel was officially put into operation. In 2024, the Little Waves Paradise opened joyfully, and in 2025, the Sandalwood Hot Spring Pavilion was officially in operation, step by step consolidating the living foundation and creating a model sample for cultural and tourism development around Beijing, realizing a one - stop, regular mountain - living daily life of eating, drinking, playing, and living.

With the official opening of the China Power Construction Rehabilitation Hospital, the project has brought a new lifestyle to the valley in the high - end health - care track. Through in - depth cooperation with three healing brands - the physical and mental health brand FLOW, the sports healing brand SPECIALIZED, and the food - therapy brand Chunshui Jiancha, the health - care ecosystem has expanded from a single medical dimension to a diversified pattern of all - domain healing. The new health - care development system of "professional medical care as the foundation and diversified healing as the support" has been recognized by medical experts, and the closed - loop of "medical care + cultural and tourism + health - care + healing" has been fully realized.
At the same time, a differentiated operation system is created for all - age customer groups: For the elderly customer group, dual scenarios of quiet rest and social interaction are customized. Supporting facilities such as the market fair, healing group - class center, and Baduanjin Taiji health - preservation activities are operated regularly, integrating health - care and healing into daily life. For the young and middle - aged customer group, outdoor health - care routes such as hiking, cycling, and mountain climbing are planned to stretch the body and mind in nature. For parent - child families, the project has natural education supporting facilities such as the Little Waves Paradise and the Star Club, allowing children to explore and grow healthily in nature.

The project has always maintained the iterative upgrade of supporting facilities, continuously adding high - quality business forms such as sports scenarios, the second community center, and owner - operated stores, carefully cultivating the mountain - resort ecosystem with patience and ingenuity like "planting trees and nurturing forests". This in - depth development has finally received a warm response from the market: The first phase of Beijing Valley has been sold out, and the second phase is selling well. It has been on the top 3 of the cultural and tourism market around Beijing all year round, becoming a well - deserved industry benchmark.
Behind this outstanding achievement is the strong support of China Power Construction Real Estate, a central state - owned enterprise. The health - care track belongs to an industry with a long cycle and heavy operation. The financial strength, credit endorsement, and full - cycle development and operation capabilities of the central state - owned enterprise ensure the authenticity of the implementation of supporting facilities and the stability of long - term operation, completely dispelling the concerns of homebuyers about "concept hype and delivery shrinkage", and becoming the core credit anchor for the project's continuous development.

The total planned area of Beijing Valley is 6,600 mu. This scale means that it has enough physical space to carry a complete ecosystem, making all options such as ecology, medical care, supporting facilities, and living a "full selection".
The sufficient space scale also brings great scope for China Power Construction Real Estate to create products. Relying on abundant land resources, the project creates an extremely low - density residential area. The plot ratio of the first - phase land is only about 0.83. The whole series is planned with low - density products such as small courtyards, townhouses, and courtyard houses. There is no oppression from high - rise buildings, with wide building intervals, excellent lighting and ventilation, and excellent privacy. Even more scarce is that the hot spring from 2,600 meters underground is available in every household, allowing residents to experience private hot springs at the medical - grade standard at home, maximizing the natural health - care value.
The project has a rich product line with a friendly threshold, precisely meeting the needs of diverse customer groups: The small courtyard with a building area of more than 80 square meters and 5 floors meets the health - care needs of young Beijing customers for a second residence. The townhouse with a building area of about 106 square meters has a practical area rate of more than 200%, equipped with a private courtyard, a mountain - view terrace, and an exclusive hot spring pool, meeting the long - term settlement needs of improved families. The courtyard house with a building area of about 115 square meters adopts an enclosed layout, combining a sense of ceremony and privacy, meeting the needs of high - end health - care and quality vacations.

Compared with the improved residences in the main urban area of Beijing with a starting price of tens of millions and the scarce health - care resources, Beijing Valley integrates the five values of "original ecological landscape, hospital health - care, hot spring healing, all - dimensional supporting facilities, and warm neighbor community" at the cost of first - time homebuyers in the main urban area, precisely leading the high - end iteration of the health - care cultural and tourism market, and becoming a well - deserved cover of Chinese cultural and tourism.

Why do we need health - care?
On the surface, it is the yearning for natural beauty, fresh air, and a leisurely life. But if we peel off these needs layer by layer, we will find something more essential: breaking free from the fast - paced city life, getting rid of the fragmented living state, and regaining the rhythm of independently controlling our lives.

Therefore, a good health - care project is not essentially selling houses, but helping people redeem the right to control their own lives. From this perspective, what Beijing Valley is most worth thinking about in the industry is not how many supporting facilities it has built, but that it has organized these supporting facilities into a system - a system where people can safely hand over their time. In this system, you no longer have to struggle to choose between "convenient supporting facilities, beautiful natural resources, a relaxed life, and low living costs" because they no longer conflict.
Perhaps, this is the ultimate product of health - care real estate: not just houses, hot springs, and beautiful scenery, but freely arranging every day in one's own valley according to one's own wishes.
