First, core highlights
Brand matrix
Luxury goods gathering place It gathers international first-line brands such as Louis Vuitton (L101&L201), Chanel (L114), Hermes (L125&L233), Dior (L111), Gucci, Fendi, BVLGARI, Cartier, ecc. Among them, about 150 brands are the first stores in Guangzhou, meeting the high-end consumption demands.

It is expected to be completed in 2026. After the expansion, the commercial area will reach approximately 200,000 square meters, and the brand level will be further enhanced.

Spatial design
The atrium and the glass skywalk: The oval atrium and the glass skywalk that runs across the top floor of the shopping mall are uniquely designed. Natural light passes through multiple oval-shaped hollowed-out “courtyards” and scatters onto each floor, providing abundant light and a wide view.
Interior materials: Soft materials such as dark brown wood grain stickers, solid wood handrails, and Jerusalem amber limestone are adopted, combined with light yellowish main color lighting to create a natural and comfortable shopping environment.
Supporting facilities
Fitness and Entertainment: SUPERMONKEY Super Gorilla Fitness (Taikoo Li Future Flagship Store, offering a variety of courses such as combat, dance, and trampoline).
Parking service: After the expansion, the number of parking Spaces will increase, easing the current parking pressure.

Check-in and photo taking: The atrium of the shopping mall, the glass skywalk, and the characteristic stores (such as the Morandi color interior of Mui Nai Restaurant) are all great places for taking photos.
