We have looked at some of Shenzhen's "Old School" shopping venues. This time, we'll talk about malls opened in the "Post-Metro" era, all with cinemas, upscale fashion, and fine dining.
Most of these are along the Metro (even connected to it by underground passages); we'll examine them in Luohu-to-Shekou order. I've put each mall's "foreign" supermarket in parentheses.
Mix City (The MiXc") at Daju Yuan station |
KK Mall, also at Daju Yuan, opened last December. It features the newest "tallest building in Shenzhen" and also has Shenzhen's first IMAX theater. (BLT)
Subterranean patio at Central Walk |
Coco Park at Gouwu Gongyuan has a popular bar street (in the south precinct) and lots of "foreign" restaurants, north and south. (Jusco)
Yitian Holiday Plaza at Shijie Zhichuang also has an ice-skating rink and large toy store. (Ole)
IKEA at European City |
Finally, around the bend (at Houhai Station on Line 2 to Shekou) are Coastal City and Poly Cultural Square, featuring Poly Theater. (Jusco and Carrefour)
There are lots more, but that should keep you shopping for a while!
