Alibaba Cloud Xuanhua Data Centre (阿里云宣化数据中心) is a data center project in Zhangjiakou, China, operated by Alibaba Cloud (阿里云). It is under construction. The operator has not published an IT load figure. It is planned for 16,128 racks. ArusGrid does not convert racks into MW.
Latest change on record: moved to under construction on 19 February 2022. Record last checked against its sources on 19 October 2026.
Next gate to watch: Power arranged.
Build odds is ArusGrid's reading of the public record, not a forecast, a rating or advice. It counts the gates this project has passed in public sources. Private progress does not show, a passed gate can be undone, and projects that pass every gate still stop. The method has not yet been tested against outcomes. How it works.
Zhangjiakou holds 8 active projects with 540 MW of planned IT load between them, and Alibaba Cloud Xuanhua Data Centre (阿里云宣化数据中心) has no published figure so it sits outside that ranking. Of those, 3 are operational, 2 are under construction, 2 are at the land and permitting stage and 1 is announced only. No third party publishes a colocation vacancy rate for Zhangjiakou, and ArusGrid does not estimate one.
Alibaba has 4 others in China tracked by ArusGrid, including Alibaba YRD Intelligent Computing Base (阿里巴巴长三角智能计算基地), Alibaba Cloud Western Cloud Computing Center and Data Service Base and Alibaba Cloud Ulanqab Data Center. It sits on the Alibaba Xuanhua, Xuanhua District campus. No tenant has been disclosed, which is normal for colocation and says nothing about occupancy.
The dated record runs from under construction on 16 September 2021 to under construction on 19 February 2022.
The US export control position for advanced AI chips in China, as of 7 October 2026, is recorded as “Licence required, presumption of denial, case-by-case review for H200-class chips since 15 January 2026”. ArusGrid holds 2 public sources for this project, the latest dated 19 February 2022, and last checked the record on 19 October 2026.
Construction or financing is evidenced, or several independent signals agree. The rules are fixed and published on the Methodology page.
Reaching this stage requires a dated construction source, which corroborates the project on its own.
No public signal either way.
A party to this project (its operator, that operator's group, a funder, or a confirmed client) is headquartered in China or Macau or has an ultimate parent there. US rules require a licence for advanced AI chips destined to such entities wherever they are located. This describes the rule and says nothing about whether a licence was sought, granted or refused. Criteria are published on the Methodology page.
