Beijing, September 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mr. Liang Gengyao from Malaysia, who entered the hotel industry in 1987, has served in multiple international brand hotels across Malaysia, Indonesia, and China, gaining rich experience in hotel management. As the General Manager of Sanya Tangla Hotel, this Chinese general manager who has fought in the hotel industry for nearly 30 years once again proves his outstanding professionalism.

Since its winter opening in 2013, Sanya Tangla Hotel has consistently stood out among the five-star hotels on Sanya Bay. As the top-tier oriental-style hotel brand under HNA Hotels and Resorts Group, Sanya Tangla Hotel is a beautiful palace that blends the cultural essence of "serenity and elegance" from Tibet with elements of tropical resort charm. Upon entering the lobby, a 9.25-meter-tall "Red Posta" rises majestically, supporting a domed lotus structure — an artistic masterpiece that also subtly embodies the profound meaning of Tibetan Buddhism: spreading compassion to all beings.
Mr. Liang Gengyao, who shares this universal and compassionate vision, is reserved, composed, and wise. Within just over a year of taking office, he and his Sanya Tangla team have earned a series of prestigious awards, including the Starlight Award for "China’s Top Ten Tourism Resort Hotels," the Golden Horse Award for "Asia’s Top Ten Tourism Resort Hotels," and the Golden Chair Award for "2014 Best Conference Resort Hotel," all thanks to their high-quality service and excellent hotel facilities. Personally, he also received a highly esteemed professional honor — the "Best General Manager in China’s Hotel Industry" at the 10th China Hotel Starlight Awards.
As a national hotel brand that values every detail, Sanya Tangla offers guests countless delightful surprises. Among its 418 rooms and suites, various room types are designed for different customer groups, including mountain view, sea view, and salon rooms. All sea view rooms feature oversized private balconies, allowing guests to fully enjoy the views of the ocean, with some balcony designs even incorporating unique massage tubs. Each sea view room is also equipped with an iPad and the best-in-class intelligent hotel butler service system. The hotel also provides leisure and entertainment facilities for guests who enjoy recreation, including hot spring massage tubs, multi-functional pools, fitness centers, saunas, spas, and beauty salons. All these high-end designs and thoughtful services are dedicated to one dream — to offer relaxing and healthy vacation experiences, allowing every guest at Sanya Tangla Hotel to immerse themselves in the serene beauty of harmony and tranquility.

General Manager Liang Gengyao deeply understands the importance of dining services to a hotel. Under his creative direction, the restaurants at Sanya Tangla Hotel are always ingeniously designed and outstanding. In the magnificently colorful "Tang Yuan" Chinese Restaurant, guests can enjoy traditional delicacies mentioned in the documentary "A Bite of China II" — scalded dried tofu shreds..This is also the only restaurant in Sanya certified by the "A Bite of China" production team for its dish experience. Meanwhile, the all-day dining Western restaurant, Xijinhui, offers guests a taste of culinary delights from around the world. For conferences, Tangla boasts a total of 2,000 square meters of various meeting rooms, capable of delivering seamless meeting and event experiences. Additionally, the hotel plans special tea break moments based on client needs and conference themes, using props and themed desserts.
A hotel is a service industry, and what it presents must be the most human-centered offerings. Whether as General Manager or simply as a person nearby, Liang Gengyao exudes warmth and kindness. His human touch extends to both guests and the hotel’s staff. Whenever he’s not too busy, he walks around the hotel every evening, chatting with as many employees as possible. HNA Group sponsors children from Tibet to attend university in Hainan every year, and Tangla Hotel provides them with internship opportunities. But after all, they are still children and sometimes miss home. So General Manager Liang Gengyao often talks with them, and over time, these children far from home began calling him “Dad Liang.” This genuine bond goes far beyond the relationship of a hotel general manager or a sponsor. Only through sincere dedication can such deep affection be fostered.
Doing something for society and for others is the corporate culture spirit that HNA Group and the Tangla brand have always upheld. In May this year, under the leadership of General Manager Liang Gengyao, Sanya Tangla Hotel held a charity auction, donating the 60,000 yuan raised to poor primary schools in Sanya to improve students' learning conditions and living environments. The hotel also regularly conducts outreach activities to bring care and blessings to the children.
As a Malaysian Chinese descendant, Liang Gengyao holds an extra sense of ethnic pride toward his work. In this era of rapid rise for national brands, he firmly believes that wherever HNA airplanes fly, there will be HNA-branded hotels. This is Liang Gengyao’s ethnic dream as a Chinese descendant, and also the Chinese dream of all HNA hoteliers..
