China will advance the development of wellness tourism and promote the smart health and elderly care products and services to better meet the needs of the elderly and achieve the high-quality development.
According to the last census, over 18 percent of Chinese people are over 60. It is estimated that this percentage can reach 35 percent by 2053, which means one in three people could be a senior.
As the Chinese government's commitment is to let everyone share the benefits of high-quality development, meeting these people's needs is hugely important.
In Hezhou City of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, it is seeing opportunities from seniors who want to get out of cramped big cities. Boasting fresh air, beautiful sceneries, colorful culture, and slow-paced lifestyle and adjacent to China's economic hub of Guangdong Province, the city is trying to foster wellness tourism.
"Hezhou is building its brand as a city of longevity and an ecological back garden for the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. We will expand the channel of transformation of clear waters and lush mountains as invaluable assets," said Luo Jian, vice mayor of Hezhou City.
Thanks to the geothermal power, the city has attracted lots of tourists to enjoy the hot spring, and most of the guests are retirees with time and money to spend.
"Right now, Hezhou is constructing six hot spring health and wellness projects in multiple locations, with a total investment of 20.5 billion yuan (about 3 billion U.S. dollars)," Luo said.
Accommodating retirees from all over China will be an important part of this city's future.
While tourism offers a nice break, many senior citizens in China do prefer to live their lives in their own homes. And many of the apartments where senior people live in need to be upgraded and renovated to cater to seniors.
According to official estimation, there are 40 billion square meters of old buildings in China waiting to be upgraded for seniors, which will create a 15 trillion yuan (about 2 trillion U.S. dollars) market.
In one district of east China's Shanghai, apartments with senior residents have been getting upgrades, such as bathroom remodeling to prevent slips and falls. Officials have also worked with tech firms to install sensors, on a voluntary basis, for elderly people who live alone.
"This sensor can tell if I've gotten out of bed. If it doesn't sense movement for a long time, something might be wrong. This one here is a smoke detector to sense if something is burning. If anything goes wrong, social workers will call me on my cell phone in minutes," said Jiang Changcun, a Shanghai resident.
"We have installed four-piece home safety smart kits in 2,000 homes of seniors who live alone," said Ding Leimin, deputy chief of Civil Affairs Bureau of Shanghai's Putuo District.
AiCare is one of the companies that specialize in care solutions for the elderly, its echnology is also used in the district's social welfare home.
"Technology allows seniors to live on their own, without having to move into nursing homes. They don't need to have actual nurses monitoring their showers and cooking. For many, this means truly living and not merely surviving," said Ding Yong, founder of AiCare.
