Our Services
Three interconnected areas of expertise — art, business and culture — each grounded in deep China knowledge.
LianGroup's services are not siloed specialisations — they are expressions of a single, integrated philosophy: that China's art, culture and commercial life are inseparable, and that the most effective strategies for engaging China draw on all three.
Art Brokerage
LianGroup operates as a trusted intermediary between China's most distinguished artists and serious collectors worldwide. Our art brokerage service is built on three commitments: authenticity, transparency and cultural context.
We represent a carefully curated roster of artists — primarily masters of traditional Chinese ink painting and their contemporaries — and work to match their works with collectors who will both appreciate and appropriately steward them.
What We Offer
- Private viewings and collection presentations
- Full provenance documentation for every work
- Independent appraisal and authentication support
- Artist studio visits (by arrangement)
- Long-term collection advisory and resale guidance

China's business environment rewards deep relationships, cultural intelligence and patient strategy. PontaChina Solutions was built to provide exactly that — not generic market reports, but bespoke, relationship-driven guidance grounded in years of on-the-ground experience.

Cultural Consulting
China's culture — its language, etiquette, aesthetics, history and values — is the foundation upon which all successful China engagement is built. LianGroup's cultural consulting service helps individuals, organisations and educational institutions develop the cultural fluency they need.
Our programmes range from executive-level cross-cultural training to immersive cultural education, from Chinese language support to bespoke programmes for schools, corporates and diplomatic organisations.

Frequently Asked Questions
LianGroup specialises in traditional Chinese ink painting, including landscapes (山水画), bird-and-flower compositions (花鸟画) and figure painting (人物画). We represent a carefully curated roster of artists, primarily masters of classical Chinese painting styles as well as their contemporary counterparts. Every work comes with full provenance documentation and, where required, independent appraisal and authentication support.
Through PontaChina Solutions, LianGroup helps international companies enter or expand in China by developing market-entry strategies, identifying and vetting local partners, navigating regulatory and compliance requirements, providing cross-cultural negotiation support, and advising on the benefits of the Hainan Free Trade Port. Engagements are bespoke — we do not offer generic market reports but relationship-driven, on-the-ground guidance.
The Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) is China's most open and innovative economic zone, offering preferential policies including zero tariffs on certain goods, a 15% corporate and personal income tax cap, and simplified cross-border data and capital flow. For international businesses, it represents a lower-risk and more accessible entry point into the Chinese market. LianGroup, headquartered in Haikou, Hainan, offers specialist advisory on how to leverage the FTP for your business.
LianGroup's cultural consulting covers: cross-cultural business communication training for executives and teams; Chinese art history and appreciation programmes; Mandarin and business Chinese language support; cultural immersion events and study tours to China; and bespoke programmes for schools, corporates and diplomatic organisations. All programmes are tailored to the specific cultural background and goals of the client.
LianGroup prices its work by scope and value, not rate cards. Engagements are structured as fixed-fee projects (defined scope and deliverables, priced by quote), monthly retainers (ongoing advisory at a rate tailored to scope), or hourly consulting (for specific, bounded questions). All pricing is discussed transparently at the scoping stage — there are no hidden fees. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation and indicative quote.
