The construction of specialty towns represents a significant exploration and practical initiative by Zhejiang Province in advancing supply-side structural reforms. Among them, Yuhuangshan South Fund Town and Dream Town stand out as prime examples, prominently featured on Zhejiang’s first batch of selected specialty town lists. Yuhuangshan South Fund Town is often compared to Greenwich—a renowned hedge fund haven in the U.S.—as it seamlessly integrates three key functions: finance, cultural creativity, and tourism. This distinctive town has already become one of Zhejiang’s top three exemplary specialty towns, celebrated for its harmonious blend of traditional Chinese architecture and courtyard-style layouts that beautifully complement the region’s serene Jiangnan garden landscapes. Paired with rich local cultural heritage and eco-friendly tourism offerings, it has emerged as the province’s most iconic and well-known town. Meanwhile, Dream Town leverages Zhejiang’s thriving internet industry while placing a strong emphasis on cutting-edge technology and modern financial services. It serves as a comprehensive platform designed to nurture innovation and entrepreneurship. After more than a year of operation since its opening, Dream Town has successfully established itself as an ideal destination for both living and working. With its robust public service infrastructure, breathtakingly scenic ecological park settings, architectural styles that naturally evolve in harmony with the local environment, and a vibrant cultural atmosphere, the town embodies the seamless integration of industry, urban life, community, and culture—making it a truly livable and business-friendly specialty town that continues to attract entrepreneurs and leading companies eager to set up shop.

Chairman Zhao Shouming stated that this visit to Shannan Fund Town and Dream Town has been highly inspiring for the upcoming development and construction of the Wanbande Health Town project. From the micro-urban layout concepts of these towns to their operational models, architectural design philosophies, comprehensive environmental planning, and even the exploration of their unique cultural essence—every aspect offers valuable lessons and insights for us. We must draw on the successful experiences of various exemplary towns, innovating Wanbande Health Town’s development path while fully leveraging the company’s distinctive health industry strengths and deepening its corporate cultural identity. By strategically concentrating Wanbande’s premier industrial resources and capitalizing on our existing environmental advantages, we’ll seamlessly integrate Internet-plus technologies to create an intelligent, eco-friendly, and multifaceted town complex. This complex will combine cutting-edge manufacturing, advanced medical services, holistic health and wellness solutions, education-driven science and technology initiatives, high-quality tourism and leisure activities, and vibrant e-commerce commerce—all aimed at driving both Wenling’s economic growth and the broader development of the greater health industry.
