The "Panda Project" refers to the establishment of a large-scale retirement and health care demonstration base in each province across the country, forming a nationwide networked layout and implementing a chain operation system. It is a comprehensive retirement and health care complex that integrates time-share retirement, tourism-based retirement, investment-driven retirement, wellness retirement, medical retirement, and sports retirement. It aims to meet various needs such as retirement, health preservation, mental well-being, health care, investment, tourism, and vacation, while emphasizing comprehensive supporting facilities and a well-developed nursing system.
The "Panda Project" emphasizes a people-oriented approach and aims to create a complementary leisure and retirement health care system that integrates "tourism and sightseeing, medical rehabilitation, and leisure entertainment." Based on the fundamental concept and infrastructure planning to provide members with comprehensive physical and mental care—encompassing "tourism + leisure + life + care + medical services"—a range of services are offered to allow members to enjoy their golden years in retirement and health care. When completed, the national demonstration zones for retirement projects will form a garden-style, modern social retirement and health care leisure service system integrating leisure, medical care, wellness, and cultural retirement, serving as a model for retirement and health care institutions across society.
With the continuous and rapid development of China’s retirement, health care, and tourism industries, these sectors are facing numerous new opportunities, situations, and challenges. Huangbaiyuan Scenic Area, located in Taibai County, Baoji City, has gradually emerged in the national wave of retirement, health care, and tourism development. It is precisely to promote the construction and development of retirement, health care, and leisure tourism in Huangbaiyuan Scenic Area that the Taibai County Government and Wanjing Group hosted this grand event. It is believed that the successful hosting of the 2013 Taibai County Red Leaf Festival will add a significant highlight to the retirement, health care, and tourism industries of both Taibai County and Huangbaiyuan Town.
