Xiao Long, president of the Guangyuan Hupan Cloud Technology Company, the investor, said that phase-1 of the project has been built using lightweight steel structures and environmental-friendly wooden materials, in a move to mitigate any negative impacts upon the ecological environment. It is set to come into use in the upcoming May Day holiday.

The resort project is committed to promoting the adjustment of industrial structures and the improvement of the ecological environment. It has been designed to integrate agricultural development with the tourism business, bolster the sales of agricultural products and benefit more surrounding farmers and merchants.

During an interview on Mar 9, Yang Kunming, deputy chief of the town, said that Jianmenguan has attracted a rising number of enterprises over the past few years and will make the utmost effort to further improve its business environment and attract more investment.
