The 15th CHANDO Group Art Program — “The Himalayas at the Tip of the Pen” Illustration Art Exhibition


Exploring the Himalayas Through the Tip of a Pen, Reimagining Nature Through Illustration


At the event, a large-scale illustration artwork jointly created by CHANDO Group and illustrator “黏性跨越,” featuring a blank model of CHANDO’s iconic Little Purple Bottle, was unveiled to applause by Wang Xiaodan, Deputy Secretary of the Communist Youth League Fengxian District Committee; Wu Jinhua, Operations Director of CHANDO Future Beauty City; and the illustrator.

Selected Works from the CHANDO × GAF Shanghai International Illustration Art Festival Collaboration


Wu Jinhua, Operations Director of Oriental Beauty Valley · CHANDO Future Beauty City, said that beauty has never been confined to a single form. It can be found on a product bottle or on a sheet of drawing paper; it can come from Himalayan glaciers and alpine flora, or emerge through the gentle strokes of an illustrator’s brush. From scientific laboratories to illustration workstations, from the technological innovation embodied in a bottle of serum to the sense of comfort conveyed through a work of art, they are all driven by the same force — a belief in creating beauty. This year marks CHANDO Group’s 25th anniversary. Its founding aspiration of “Creating a More Beautiful World” has made this belief broader and more powerful. It is hoped that every visitor can experience CHANDO’s creativity and humanistic care in this warm and welcoming atmosphere.

During the interactive session that followed, illustrator “黏性跨越” hosted an on-site “Illustration Beauty Class.” Using blank models of iconic CHANDO products, including the 7th-generation CHANDO Little Purple Bottle Age-Defying Essence, as creative canvases, the artist guided guests in creating illustrations inspired by distinctive Himalayan plants. Through this warm and inspiring creative experience, participants gained a deeper appreciation of CHANDO’s scientific research capabilities and humanistic care.

Enriching Brand Storytelling Through Art, Empowering Experiences Through Culture


Oriental Beauty Valley · CHANDO Future Beauty City continues to advance its integrated model of “culture, tourism, commerce, sports and exhibitions + industrial tourism.” At its core, the model transforms industrial resources into cultural and tourism experiences, while turning production lines into immersive spaces and communication platforms. Rather than simply creating a corporate showroom or tourist attraction, the initiative seeks to transform industrial capabilities into cultural influence, making brand value tangible, cultural narratives experiential and consumer conversion more direct. Ultimately, it showcases the outstanding quality of Chinese manufacturing to the public and builds deeper consumer trust. The project has been successfully selected as one of the “Top 10 Landmark Culture and Tourism Projects in Shanghai for 2025.”

This illustration art exhibition marks another cross-disciplinary exploration following the biodiversity exhibition, printmaking joint exhibition, women-themed exhibition and aerospace-themed exhibition previously held at CHANDO Future Beauty City, further enriching the venue’s cultural narrative and public experience.
