The 50-billion-yuan ($7.8 billion) Hengqin Grand MixC will bring top-of-the-line services in healthcare, boutique trade, and the cultural and creative sector, as well as a presentation zone for high and new technological advances.

Speakers at a Chimelong Hengqin Bay Hotel conference on Sept 29 outlined the new attractions in a dynamic multifunctional city center.

A chain of health and medical services will be available at the Intelligent Medical Sci-Tech Industrial Park, CR Health Center, and alive-to-100 health club in partnerships with Golden Maple Holdings, China Resources Healthcare Group, and Japan's Soiken Holdings.

The complex will enhance exhibits, marketing, and trade functions in cooperation with Valeria Lanaro Enterprise, Asia Beauty Group Share, and the Association for New Silk Road Friendship (ANRS).
