What’s even more exciting is that

it will also establish a brand梯队 of “flagship stores + customized stores”,

introducing an IMAX GT cinema, a customized children’s play center,

a high-street comprehensive sports hall, fast-fashion city flagship stores…

building a new consumption scene of “arrive upon exiting the station, fulfill all needs in one stop”,

making “stopping by for a casual shop” part of daily life.

enabling a smooth switch between commuting and shopping.

Longtansi TOD Community Commerce Accelerates Implementation

Longtansi TOD,

Longfor Paradise Walk

Longfor Paradise Walk is a modern commercial and leisure pedestrian street located in Chongqing, China, developed by the Longfor Group. It was designed as an urban lifestyle hub, integrating shopping, dining, and entertainment, and reflects the city’s contemporary growth and urbanization in the early 21st century. While it doesn’t have deep historical roots, it represents the rapid commercial development and changing urban culture in China during this period.

Machangba TOD

Machangba TOD is a modern transit-oriented development located in Kunming, China, designed to integrate residential, commercial, and public spaces around a major transportation hub. Its history is recent, emerging as part of Kunming’s 21st-century urban expansion and rail network growth, aiming to create a sustainable and efficient urban community. The project reflects contemporary urban planning trends in China that prioritize connectivity and mixed-use development around public transit.

Mixc World

Mixc World is a large, upscale shopping mall and mixed-use complex developed by China Resources Land, first opening in Shenzhen in 2004. It is known for integrating luxury retail, dining, entertainment, and often offices or residences, representing a modern model of urban lifestyle centers in major Chinese cities. The brand has since expanded to numerous other locations across China, becoming a symbol of contemporary commercial development and consumer culture.

Luxiao TOD

“Luxiao TOD” refers to a Transit-Oriented Development project in the Luxiao area, typically in a Chinese city, which integrates residential, commercial, and public spaces around a high-capacity transit hub like a subway or rail station. While specific historical details for this particular project are not widely documented, such developments in China generally emerged in the 21st century as part of urban planning strategies to reduce traffic congestion, promote sustainable living, and create efficient, walkable communities connected to major transportation networks.

Longtansi TOD

“Longtansi TOD” refers to the transit-oriented development (TOD) project centered around the Longtan Temple subway station in Taipei, Taiwan. The area is named after the nearby historic Longshan Temple (often transliterated as “Longtansi”), a renowned Buddhist temple originally built in 1738 by Han Chinese settlers. This modern TOD integrates public transport, commerce, and residential spaces, creating a vibrant urban hub that contrasts with and complements the area’s ancient cultural heritage.

Qingyang District

Qingyang District is the historic core of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in China, and is considered the birthplace of Taoism. It is home to the ancient Qingyang Palace (Green Goat Temple), a major Taoist temple originally founded during the Tang Dynasty. Today, the district blends this profound cultural heritage with modern urban life as a central administrative and commercial area.

Shenzhen

Shenzhen is a major modern metropolis in southern China, adjacent to Hong Kong, which was transformed from a small fishing village into a special economic zone in 1980. This designation catalyzed its rapid development into a global hub for technology, manufacturing, and finance. Its history is emblematic of China’s economic reforms and opening-up policy, with landmarks like the Shenzhen Museum and Splendid China Folk Village showcasing both its meteoric growth and cultural heritage.

Shanghai

Shanghai is a major global metropolis and financial hub on China’s east coast, which grew from a small fishing village into a significant port following the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. Its famous Bund waterfront showcases colonial-era architecture from its history as an international concession, while the modern Pudong district symbolizes China’s rapid economic rise. The city is a dynamic blend of Western and Chinese influences, reflected in its arts, cuisine, and iconic skyline.
