May 24,2013

The AAA hospital, the first hospital designed and constructed by Wanda Group, is expected to improve the medical treatment for residents in and nearby Xishuangbanna, an autonomous prefecture in Southwest China’s Yunnan Province. It has the only tropical forest nature reserve in the country.
However, the Sichuan-Yunnan region is one of the areas, where earthquake activity is strongest in the intra continent of China, and strong earthquake have occurred frequently in the recent years.
The energy dissipation device is an approach for controlling seismic damage in buildings and improving their seismic performance.
