Company History:

The birth of Fosun Travel Culture began with Fosun's globalization strategy since its listing in Hong Kong in 2007. Based on Fosun's strategy of "China Power Grafting Global Resources", Fosun Tourism and Culture seizes the market opportunity of transforming from "sightseeing tourism" to "vacation tourism", integrates high-quality global resources, and creates international and high-quality tourism and vacation products to meet the increasing demand for domestic tourism consumption.

In 2009, Fosun established its Business Division, the predecessor of Fosun Travel and Culture, focusing on the tourism and commercial fields, targeting the huge blue ocean market of leisure and vacation in China.

In 2010, Fosun made its first investment in the world's largest leisure resort group, Club Med in France, and helped it open its first resort in China, Club Med Yabuli Resort, within six months.

In 2014, Fosun invested billions in the construction of Sanya Atlantis.

In 2015, Fosun completed the complete privatization of Club Med, accelerating the brand's expansion in China.

In 2016, Fosun Tourism Culture Group was established as the core component of Fosun's "Happy" business unit. Fosun Tourism Culture is committed to leading vacation life and creating a globally leading family leisure vacation ecosystem with the mission of "making life better through vacation".

The Lijiang project is located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain and next to Baisha Ancient Town.
