Lihpao Plaza Shopping Mall

Lihpao Plaza Shopping Mall is an innovative retail and entertainment complex located in Shanghai's Hongqiao Central Business District, distinguished by its unique integration of art, technology, and experiential shopping concepts. The 100,000-square-meter interior space, completed in 2019, represents a groundbreaking approach to modern retail design through its six distinctive themed zones: The Feast of Jiufen, He Feng Ri Li, Liu Mang Wu, The Secret Garden, The Future World, and The Vivid Food Court. This Gold A' Design Award-winning project seamlessly combines traditional cultural elements with cutting-edge technology, featuring zigzag alleys, red lanterns, and modern amenities such as VR and 3D interactive projections. The design philosophy centers on four major genes: life aesthetics, community service, family growth, and innovation and entertainment, creating an immersive shopping environment that transcends conventional retail spaces. The mall's architectural composition spans multiple levels, including two ground floors dedicated to themed commercial spaces and additional levels for retail and dining, all thoughtfully equipped with accessible facilities including maternal rooms, barrier-free toilets, and modern vertical transportation systems. The project's strategic location near the Hongqiao traffic hub, including proximity to the airport and railway station, enhances its significance as a landmark destination that successfully merges shopping functionality with experiential design elements, setting new standards in retail architecture and interior design.
