Sanlitun business district

Taikoo Li Sanlitun
Taikoo Li Sanlitun is a multi-format shopping complex with a total area of approximately 135,000 square metres and is major-owned by Swire Properties. Unlike most shopping malls, Taikoo Li Sanlitun is an open-plan shopping mall with a total of 19 buildings, making it feel like a shopping town. Many well-known brands such as Apple, Uniqlo and Evisu have stores that can be displayed directly to the outside world, which in turn helps to express and enhance the brand image of Taikoo Li Sanlitun. However, from another point of view, open shopping malls are destined to create a situation of "cold in winter and hot in summer", which is probably the price that the trend must pay. Taikoo Li Sanlitun is home to a wide range of domestic and international fashion brands: Superdry, Evisu, Kate Spade, AAPE, COS, Sandro Men and other brands in the North District, and UNIQLO here is the "hottest UNIQLO store in China", attracting countless young people to make a pilgrimage. The South is mainly made up of several tall buildings, with Miu Miu, I.T, Versace and Giorgio Armani all having multi-storey stores. The South Zone is less crowded, but there are more rest areas, making it more like a park than the North Zone.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a multi-functional creative activity space between the north and south districts of Sanlitun - Red Hall TED. The two-storey building, which has been in business for less than three years, is a relatively small building in Taikoo Li Sanlitun, but it has already hosted dozens of cultural, art and fashion events such as TED× Sanlitu. In addition, Taikoo Li Sanlitun has a good grasp of the interests of young people, and will also hold creative themed activities such as "Zhihu Clinic".

Sanlitun SOHO
SOHO's real estate projects have always been known for their striking architectural style, and Sanlitun SOHO is one of the representative works of SOHO Group. Compared to Taikoo Li Sanlitun across the street, it is no less impressive. With a commercial area of nearly 130,000 square meters, Sanlitun SOHO has five shopping malls, but each of them is small, and there is an artificial stream in the middle with resting places everywhere. Compared to Taikoo Li Sanlitun, the range of shops here is more complex and comprehensive, with many services such as hairdressing, nail art, beauty and medical treatment, but few well-known brands are seen. Sanlitun SOHO's shopping malls are not clearly functionally separated, and many areas of the interior are still under development, so it may be a place of surprise, but it is far from Taikoo Li's rival in terms of brand appeal.
Taikoo Li Sanlitun and SOHO Sanlitun are located on both sides of Workers' Stadium North Road, with convenient transportation and more than 10 bus lines, and are also close to Tuanjiehu MRT station.
