"Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I gaze leisurely at the southern hills." For centuries, this verse has embodied the Chinese longing for a poetic, healing lifestyle. Today, this vision has taken root at the Wuwei Heavy Ion Health and Wellness Town. On August 15, Dongli Hotel, located in the heart of the town's 3A‑level scenic area, passed the expert assessment for a three‑star tourist hotel with high scores and is now awaiting official designation by the cultural and tourism authorities.

As China's first specialized wellness base centered on heavy ion technology, the town covers a total area of 2,865 mu (approximately 191 hectares) with a planned construction area of 338,000 square meters. Built on the deep technical expertise of the Wuwei Heavy Ion Center of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital, it has established a comprehensive wellness service matrix integrating heavy ion therapy, rehabilitation, health check‑ups, cultural tourism, and employee wellness retreats. The town is currently advancing efforts to achieve national 4A‑level tourist attraction status. Notably, the town is equipped with China's first domestically produced heavy ion therapy system, seamlessly integrating cutting‑edge medical technology with accessible wellness services. It has also innovatively developed a "three‑carriage" service model characterized by "10‑S" physical and mental sleep therapy, personalized health check‑ups, and comprehensive whole‑life‑cycle wellness management — forming a multi‑dimensional health defense system for the public.
