The Baidu Alliance Summit is held annually. This year’s summit will take place from April 23rd to April 26th, 2008, in Changsha.

2007: A year of fierce competition online, where vertical markets stood out and innovation reigned supreme. Overlooking the vast expanse of land, no one questioned who would rise to prominence as countless industries flourished. Clouds drifted aimlessly, the moon floated freely, and history was written amidst the chaos;

2007: In the realm of the internet, heroes emerged and vied for dominance in the central plains. Past glories remained, while new talents rose, sparking intense competition across all industries. Water took no shape, wind left no trace, but great strategies were devised with determination;

2007: Dancing alongside the elite, embracing collaboration for mutual success.

This year, “making partners stronger” was deeply integrated into every aspect of the Baidu Alliance — products, operations, and services.

This year, “tens of thousands of heroes” joined the Baidu Alliance family — the most powerful Chinese advertising alliance globally, and it was evident to all.

Next year, “comprehensive services” became the new goal of the Baidu Alliance — becoming a solution provider with unwavering commitment.

Introduction to Huaya International Grand Hotel

Huaya International Grand Hotel is invested and built by the Hunan Xinhuaya Group, featuring both Jiangnan gardens and a modern golf course as a luxurious ecological garden hotel.

The hotel officially opened on January 26th, 2006, and was officially awarded five-star status by the China National Tourism Administration on March 12th, 2007. Located at No. 81, Section 2, Wanjiali Central Road, Changsha, it is adjacent to the airport expressway to the north, Labor East Road to the south, and Wanjiali Road to the west, situated at the midpoint between the city center and the Sports New City.

Quitang River winds around the area, while Yanchuan Mountain Ecological Park stands nearby, fully embodying the ecological spatial layout of "mountains, water, islands, and cities."

The hotel offers convenient transportation, being just a twenty-minute drive from Huanghua Airport, ten minutes from the train station, and a five-minute drive to access the Jingzhu Expressway. With a total investment exceeding 600 million yuan, the hotel features Building One, Building Two, and three luxury villas. Building One is 19 stories high, and Building Two is 16 stories high, covering a total construction area of over 120,000 square meters, offering 866 rooms/suites along with comprehensive dining and entertainment facilities.

The main building design, when viewed from above, reveals a Tai Chi pattern, with distinctive facade designs symbolizing the absorption of essence and the unity of all things. Inside Huaya Garden, there are bridges over flowing streams, opportunities for fishing and boating, towering ancient trees, exquisite buildings, bamboo groves, peach orchards, pomelo forests, and ginkgo forests scattered throughout, featuring over a hundred ancient trees over 1,600 years old, vividly showcasing the theme of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
