Measuring the Himalayas with Every Stroke, Reimagining Nature Through Illustration
During the opening ceremony, a giant illustration artwork created on a white model of CHANDO's iconic Little Purple Bottle was officially unveiled amid warm applause. Jointly commissioned by CHANDO Group and illustrator Nianxing Kuayue, the artwork draws inspiration from the Himalayas while incorporating the artist's distinctive visual language to express the vitality and poetic beauty of the snowy plateau. It transforms CHANDO Group's philosophy of "Doing One Beautiful Thing for the World" into an emotional visual narrative.

Wu Jinhua, Operations Director of Oriental Beauty Valley · CHANDO Future Beauty City, said:
"Beauty has never been expressed in only one way. It can exist on the surface of a bottle, or on a sheet of paper. It can come from Himalayan glaciers and alpine plants, or emerge from the gentle strokes of an artist's pen.
From scientific laboratories to illustration studios, from the technological power contained in a bottle of essence to the healing warmth conveyed through a piece of artwork, they are all driven by the same force—the belief in creating beauty. As CHANDO Group celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, our original aspiration of 'Doing One Beautiful Thing for the World' has become broader and more powerful than ever. We hope every visitor can experience CHANDO's creativity and humanistic spirit in this warm and welcoming environment."
