"Rissai Valley is the sixth property in a rare portfolio of exclusive estates worldwide, offering an intimate and transformative experience rooted in heartfelt care and human connection," she noted.

Li Jinghai, senior assistant to general manager of CGDG and head of Commerce & Happiness Industry Management Company at CGDG, said: "We consider the successful opening of Rissai Valley, a top-tier hotel, to be a testament to our ability to meet the standards of a world-class enterprise in regards to product quality, brand reputation, innovation and modern governance.

"We expect Rissai Valley to serve as a model for the industry. This role is reflected in two important areas: products and services. Our goal is to consistently meet the needs of our customers, as their satisfaction is our truest measure of success."

As its name indicates, Li said his group is committed to promoting green development, in response to the country's call for green and low-carbon growth. All properties owned by CGDG, including its hotels and petroleum-related properties, have gained green certification.

As a result, CGDG is at the forefront of the industry, according to Li.

Rissai Valley's 87 villas offer views of the snow-capped Minshan mountain range, forests and ancient Tibetan villages, according to the hotel.

The local culture and natural environment were a major source of inspiration for the hotel's designers. Global multidisciplinary design firm WATG paid homage to the natural surroundings and Tibetan heritage with the use of traditional building forms and locally sourced materials. The landscaping was led by John Pettigrew, who created the immaculate gardens with indigenous planting to reflect the extraordinary landscapes.
