State-owned Beijing Tourism Group and international hotel management group GHM recently established a joint venture to operate a string of upscale resorts featuring a "China services concept".

Together with a third investor, Great Ocean Group, the group's first properties under the Ahn Luh brand will debut in the next two to three years, according the partners.

Starting with Chinese dim sum breakfast, Ahn Luh guests can relax with tai chi taught by a master and shop for traditional Chinese medicine and regional goods.
