After two decades of infrastructural and urban development, China is now experiencing a fast build-up of tourism activities.
In order to allow for the intense development to grow faster the Chinese government declared several regions as “tourism formation zones”. Among these is the area around the spectacular Changbai volcano in the province Jilin, right at the border of North Korea.
The region is formed by the vast dimensions of its forests, reaching until Siberia.
Since there is permafrost between November and April, the area will be transformed into a “tourism mekka” of winter sports.
In the context of this recent development, GRAFT was asked to design and plan the “Changbai Mountain Slopes”. The entire project extends to six million m2 at three different locations.
In the valley of “Manjiang” GRAFT planed an amusement park, a show theatre, an exhibition space, thermae spaces with natural hot fountains, a village with many boutiques, restaurants and cafés as well as 3000 guestrooms in hotels and mansions.
“Hengsahn” is an area of rolling hills where a bigger village and numerous resort hotels focusing primarily on “preventive medicine” and “cultural lifestyle” are planned.
A skiing region, that is going to be the biggest in Asia, is planned in “Wangtiane”.
The details of the regional planning follow the basic concept of focusing on individual architectural characters that complete each other: A new constructed train line will allow a very fast connection between the different business and entertainments locations.
The ski jumps will be the future emblem of Wangtiane. In total three ski jumps will be build, two in olympic dimensions and the third as flying hill for extreme long jumps.
The ski jump complex will also be characterized by its multi-functionality: it will incorporate restaurants and VIP lounges, as well as hotels.
The infrastructural prearrangements for the entire project will start in 2014. The project completion will take place in multiple phases between 2015 and 2020.

In 2006 an architectural competition for a skiing center in Changbaishan nature reserve (Zhǎngbáishān), in the borderland of China and North Korea, was announced. It also includes a ski jumping complex in Wangtian’e, which will be the future emblem of city, with a flying, large and normal hill and integrated hotels and restaurants.
The whole project volume would be around 200 million Euros and the infrastructural prearrangements could start in 2014. The project will be realised in multiple phases from 2015 to 2020 and works at ski jumps will start in 2016.

Gradnja novega skakalnega centra na Kitajskem (Changbaishan je v igri) je načrtovana za leto 2014, a se Kitajska še ni odločila, katero zimsko središče bo na koncu tudi deležno celovite spremembe. Zelo dobro kotirajo delnice projektu podjetja GRAFT. Njihova zasnova je, da bi v bližini vulkana Chanbai, kjer je že smučarsko središče, med drugim zrastle tudi tri skakalnice – olimpijski K-95 in K-130 ter letalnica K-195. Slednja bi bila konkurenca naši Planici in norveškemu Vikersundu.

V sklopu celotnega kompleksa, ki bi bil na treh lokacijah in bi obsegal kar šest milijonov kvadratnih metrov, se bo lahko našlo zabaviščni park, gledališče, termalne prostore, vas s številnimi restavracijami in lokali, 3000 nastanitvenih prostorov … Vse skupaj naj bi bilo nato zgrajeno do leta 2018, celotna gradnja pa je ocenjena na 200 milijonov evrov.
