Tsing Pu

Tsingpu operates a portfolio of upscale, culture-centric boutique hotels located in areas of historical and scenic significance throughout China. Established in 2015 and headquartered in Beijing, the company has secured venture capital backing from investors including Huazhu Hotels Group, Satisde Capital, and Oness Capital, raising over $10 million to fund its expansion.

The firm’s business model is centered on providing high-end, immersive hospitality experiences that combine accommodation with deep cultural engagement. Revenue is generated directly from guests who book stays at its retreats. The target clientele consists of travelers seeking an escape from urban life and a meaningful connection with local heritage. Tsingpu distinguishes itself by transforming historically significant structures into modern, tranquil dwellings. For instance, its Fujian location consists of five restored Hakka earth buildings in a 700-year-old village, while the Yangzhou retreat was developed by repurposing a warehouse complex.

Each Tsingpu property, often designed by acclaimed architectural firms like Neri & Hu, functions as more than just a hotel; it serves as a platform for cultural preservation and learning. The retreats offer a curated slate of over 20 activities led by local artisans and experts, such as traditional craft-making, culinary classes, and guided explorations of the surrounding landscape and architecture. This approach provides guests with an authentic, hands-on understanding of regional traditions, from Hakka culture in Fujian to the history of ancient Yangzhou.
