**Langham Hospitality Group is set to introduce two new hotels in Xiong'an New Area, enhancing northern China's tourism infrastructure for international visitors by 2028.** According to Travel and Tour World, the Cordis hotel will offer upscale accommodations with modern amenities, while the Ying'nFlo property targets lifestyle travellers seeking vibrant, contemporary experiences. This development positions Xiong'an—a meticulously planned "city of the future"—as an emerging hub for Australian travellers interested in innovative urban destinations and seamless connectivity to Beijing.[1][2][4] These openings align with Xiong'an's rapid infrastructure growth, including high-speed rail links and green spaces that make it ideal for short stays or day trips from the capital. Travellers can anticipate world-class hospitality amid cutting-edge architecture, boosting options for business-leisure combinations in Hebei province. Plan ahead for 2028 visits, as early bookings will secure prime access to this dynamic region.[1][4] No immediate openings were noted in preferred sources like China Daily, but this expansion signals exciting hospitality momentum across China for Aussie adventurers.Sources
