Brief introduction
Hunan Road rose at the end of the last century, was once the second largest business district after Xinjiekou, at that time the Lion Bridge Pedestrian Street and Dengjie had a huge flow of people, after 2008 with the rise of other business districts and showed a decline. After the "Old City Reconstruction" activity in 2015, Hunan Road was even more depressed after demolition, and many department stores were evacuated. At present, there is not much traffic in the Hunan Road business district, which is concentrated in Shiziqiao Food Pedestrian Street and Wuyue Plaza, mainly radiating surrounding residents. The Lion Bridge brings together many restaurants, mainly time-honored restaurants, with old environmental facilities, poor hygiene, and an average shopping experience. In addition, there are small street shops scattered in the business district, which are of low grade and the service still needs to be improved. Hunan Road is close to two subway stations of Xuanwu Lake and Yunnan Road, and the bus stations are dense. It is accessible by public transport.
Wuyue Plaza
Wuyue Plaza is a subsidiary of Seazen Holding Group and opened at the end of 2017. As the first newly opened shopping mall after the demolition of the Hunan Road business district, it has become a new landmark in the business district as soon as it opens, and it is quite popular. Wuyue Plaza is characterized by fashionable brands and creative decoration, mainly for young groups or families, covering catering department stores, supermarket training, leisure and entertainment and other functions, and is a full-format shopping mall.
Wuyue Plaza has a total of 8 floors with a total business area of 68,000 square meters, and the shops are laid around the atrium elevator, which is compactly distributed, while the different types of shops are mixed and arranged, which is slightly crowded and chaotic. The overall entry category is complete, including bookstore digital, clothing and shoes, jewelry and accessories, skin care and beauty, etc., but the number of shops in most categories is small, mainly mid-range and trendy brands, and the choice is relatively small. In addition, the catering occupies half of Wuyue, with all kinds of snacks and beverage shops concentrated on the first floor, while the fourth and fifth floors bring together small vegetable gardens, Jiangnanli and other main restaurants, as well as popular brands such as Super Species and Fermented Villa.
The Wuyue series of complexes is characterized by "one city, one theme", and the most prominent regional style of Nanjing Gulou Store is the Republic of China 1927 theme block. The block is located on the negative floor, simulating the streets of Nanjing during the Republic of China, including Jinling Anpin Street, Qingshi Mansion Street, and Rehe Wenqing Road. At the same time, creative buildings such as a men's ticket pawnshop and a narcissistic photography club are set up to attract attention. In addition, snack and drink shops are interspersed in the neighborhood, where customers can take a break to eat and take photos of themselves.
