GUANGZHOU, China, Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Guangzhou now stands firmly on the world fragrance map. The Xuelei Fragrance Museum has officially been certified by Guinness World Records as the largest fragrance museum in the world, a milestone that positions this new cultural landmark as a true pilgrimage destination for global fragrance lovers.
Spanning an authenticated 9,500.878 m², the museum redefines what a fragrance space can be. Its architectural concept—part scent laboratory, part cultural sanctuary—fuses contemporary aesthetics with centuries-old Eastern aroma traditions, inviting visitors into a world where perfume becomes both artistry and storytelling.
Inside, the experience deepens through multi-sensory, immersive environments. Visitors journey across 18 thematic zones, interacting with over 300 scent installations, 400 unique fragrances, and a suite of cutting-edge technologies that make the invisible world of scent surprisingly tangible. Among these technologies, the museum's scent-mapping system stands out: with a digital Scent Card, visitors can sample notes across hundreds of scent points and record their emotional reactions—from citrus brightness to floral warmth and woody depth—turning subjective scent perception into a personalized data journey.
The museum's signature highlight is the world's largest AI fragrance-blending installation, an architectural spectacle stretching across five floors. Hundreds of crystal-clear essence vessels hang in a radial constellation around a spiraling staircase, catching and refracting light so that every ascent feels cinematic—almost like walking through a nebula made of scent. More than visual poetry, this installation marks the beginning of the museum's data-driven fragrance experience. At the fourth-floor Time Machine of Scent, AI transforms each visitor's scent-mapping journey into a personalized Fragrance Travel Report—a sensory portrait of their preferences. Then comes the moment many describe as "cyber perfumery magic": on the first floor, the AI-blending station converts this profile into a bespoke perfume in just three minutes, from formula creation to bottling, democratizing an art form once reserved for professionals.
This fusion of cultural heritage, scientific innovation, and experiential art has transformed the Xuelei Fragrance Museum into more than a museum. It is a global stage for fragrance culture, a bridge between East and West, and one of Asia's newest must-visit destinations for travelers seeking creativity, craftsmanship, and sensory discovery.
In an era where cultural confidence and cross-cultural exchange matter more than ever, the museum stands as a powerful example of how China's ancient scent traditions can engage—and inspire—the world.

Guinness World Record Sets a New Global Pilgrimage Spot for Scent Lovers: Xuelei Fragrance Museum Becomes the World's Largest Fragrance Museum
TIANJIN, China, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL Zhonghuan ("TCL Zhonghuan Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd.") announced the launch of its next-generation BC (back-contact) high-efficiency module at its Tianjin manufacturing base this month, marking a major milestone as the company transitions BC technology from advanced development into large-scale commercial production. Featuring a unique combination of proprietary BC architecture and in-house silicon wafer technology, the new module delivers up to 25.2% module efficiency and 680W power output, offering a high-performance solution for utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) solar applications.
The launch further strengthens TCL Zhonghuan's position in next-generation PV technology and underscores its commitment to driving higher efficiency, greater reliability, and lower lifecycle energy costs across the solar industry.
Advancing BC Technology Through Integrated Innovation
Unlike conventional BC products available in the market, TCL Zhonghuan's BC platform is built on a fully integrated technology foundation spanning wafers, cells, and modules. The company's competitive advantages include a robust portfolio of more than 1,600 foundational BC patents, dedicated BC wafer development, and decades of research and manufacturing expertise.
The newly launched modules are manufactured using TCL Zhonghuan's proprietary high-efficiency silicon wafers. Based on the company's advanced low-carbon wafer technology platform, these wafers feature minority carrier lifetimes exceeding 1,000 μs, providing an ideal foundation for high-efficiency BC cell architectures. Combined with an optimized cell design, the technology supports conversion efficiencies exceeding 27% at the cell level while maintaining a temperature coefficient as low as -0.26%/°C.
To further enhance system reliability, TCL Zhonghuan has introduced a next-generation hotspot mitigation design that can reduce hotspot temperatures by up to 50°C compared with conventional modules. The modules also demonstrate excellent low-irradiance performance, with a weak-light response factor exceeding 95%, enabling stable energy generation under diverse operating conditions.
Setting a New Benchmark for High-Efficiency Modules
The new N-type BC modules combine TCL Zhonghuan's proprietary N-type wafer technology with advanced BC cell architecture, delivering strong performance across multiple dimensions.
With a mass-production efficiency of up to 25.2% and maximum power output reaching 680W, the modules are on par with mainstream BC products in terms of power rating. They incorporate enhanced resistance to fire risk, partial shading, and dust accumulation, while offering a 30-year linear power warranty and a 15-year product warranty.
The modules also achieve a bifaciality factor of 80% ± 5%, enabling higher rear-side energy generation and increased overall energy yield. Long-term reliability has been further strengthened through advanced PID-resistant design, limiting lifecycle power degradation to below 1% under testing conditions. The products have successfully passed rigorous certification and validation processes conducted by internationally recognized testing organizations.
In addition to performance advantages, the modules feature a busbar-free front surface that creates a clean, all-black appearance, making them particularly suitable for BIPV and premium rooftop applications. Their versatility also allows deployment across utility-scale, commercial, and distributed generation projects, helping customers reduce LCOE and maximize long-term project value.
Reinforcing Leadership in BC Technology
As an early pioneer and long-term innovator in BC technology, TCL Zhonghuan has leveraged more than four decades of semiconductor materials expertise and extensive photovoltaic manufacturing experience to establish a distinctive BC technology platform. By combining advanced BC cell architecture with proprietary strengths in large-format wafers, N-type materials, and intelligent manufacturing, the company has created a vertically integrated innovation ecosystem that accelerates technology commercialization and performance improvement.
TCL Zhonghuan possesses one of the industry's most comprehensive BC intellectual property portfolios. Since achieving the world's first commercial-scale production of IBC cells in 2004, the company has continued to expand its innovation footprint, securing more than 1,600 globally authorized BC patents covering crystal growth, cell structures, manufacturing processes, and module packaging technologies.
As global demand for high-efficiency solar solutions continues to grow, TCL Zhonghuan remains committed to advancing solar innovation through continuous technology development and manufacturing excellence. Working closely with customers and industry partners worldwide, the company will continue to accelerate the adoption of next-generation PV technologies and contribute to a more sustainable, low-carbon energy future.
