For many years, Changsha has always maintained the urban pattern of "Xiwendong City", and many locals use the phrase "I would rather have a bed in Hedong than a room in Hexi" to describe Hexi's long-term backward situation. However, with the planning and development of Changsha City's "one river and two banks" and Xiangjiang New Area, Meixi Lake business district has turned from the original remote area to the "new center of Changsha".
The Meixi Lake business district is bounded by the West Second Ring Road, Fenglin 3rd Road, Fengxiang Road and Meixi Lake Road, and has a beautiful surrounding environment, covering four parks: Meiling Park, Meixi Lake Park, Yangmei Park and Ginkgo Park. At present, the business district has well-known real estate companies such as BBK, Vanke, and Jinmao moving in, and the commercial volume is second only to the Wuyi business district.
Backgammon Meixi Xintiandi
Meixi Xintiandi, which is positioned as a "fashionable and light vacation", is one of the largest urban complexes in the central and southern regions, covering commercial streets, shopping malls, international apartments, Grade A office buildings and other commercial formats. Thanks to the tourism influence of Meixi Lake Park, many foreign tourists come to shop and entertain every day.
The shopping center is designed with the starry sky as the theme, with a variety of lighting changes and multi-level glass curtain walls on the façade, which makes the shopping center have a strong artistic atmosphere under the majestic appearance. Most of the clothing brands here are fast fashion brands such as ZARA, UR, NEW LOOK, etc., with a wide audience.
Meixi Xintiandi accounts for a large proportion of experiential formats, and there are more stores such as catering, children's parent-child, leisure and entertainment. Entertainment stores such as Meixi Lake Bright Starry Sky Art Museum, Curtain Open Star City Wax Museum, Sea Cube Tour City, and Flight Experience Hall are scattered on all floors. The flight experience hall has indoor skydiving, space simulation and other fresh and fun games, suitable for children and teenagers.
Customers can also feel a strong cultural atmosphere in Meixi Xintiandi. Meixi Academy is an offline experience bookstore jointly created by BBK Group and Dangdang.com, which integrates cultural and creative services, coffee and other services. From time to time, there will also be famous lectures, art exhibitions, celebrity meetings and other activities, which can be paid attention to by interested customers.
Jin Mao Lanxiu City
Jinmao Lanxiu City is located at the exit of the Culture and Art Center of Metro Line 2, adjacent to Meixi Lake Culture and Art Center and Meixi Lake Park. Lanxiu City is positioned as a waterfront complex, and water elements can be seen everywhere. The mall is filled with artificial creeks and greenery, giving the impression of modern architecture and the natural environment.
The distribution of Lanxiu City's business formats focuses on retail and living facilities, accounting for about 60% of the total. Walmart Supermarket is located on the basement floor of the mall, with a complete range of products to fully meet the daily needs of customers. JINMAO HOME is an independent living experience space for Lanxiu City, integrating various forms such as artist residence, afternoon tea and designer clothing. Although the proportion of entertainment and leisure is not large, there are many stores worth experiencing. Kids Planet features indoor rock climbing, a flying dome 4D theater and a vertical devil's slide. The e-sports hall, VR racing, and live-action CS in the JINMAO SPORTS game area are also popular with boys.
Although the geographical location of Lanxiu City is more advantageous than that of Meixi Xintiandi, the operation of merchants is not successful, and the passenger flow is far less than the former. On weekdays, the atmosphere of the mall is deserted, and services such as cleaning and material replenishment are lacking.
