天津南开大悦城

Tianjin Nankai Joy City, usually simply Tianjin Joy City, stands at 2 Nanmenwai Avenue in Nankai District, on the inner-ring seam between the Heping and Nankai districts. It faces the Nanmenwai and Nanma road arteries and sits beside the Ancient Culture Street, Food Street and Gulou commercial street, making it one of the largest and most varied mixed-use schemes in Tianjin's old-city quarter. The retail component covers 168,000 square metres within a total development of about 530,000 square metres that also includes offices and serviced apartments, with 1,904 parking spaces; it opened on 25 December 2011. The building is split into a northern fashion hall and a southern experience hall, joined by a 16-metre-high suspended bridge, each with one basement level and four storeys above, rising to five in places. The project became a national reference for themed indoor districts: its fifth-floor Goose Commune is widely credited as China's first indoor creative-culture theme street, followed by Garage No.5, Shenshou Temple Street, 0618 Street and Yuejie, turning dead space into high-yielding social settings. Three metro lines, 1, 2 and 7, converge nearby, with direct access to Gulou station on Line 2, and around 49 bus routes pass the site. Alongside the mall, a 37-storey Grade A office tower and apartments give the site a weekday population beyond shopping.
