Inspiration: Metamorphosing the mall experience amongst the electronic commerce, the concept further extends to a journey of leisure and pleasure, ensuring that it is a paradisal destination mall. Inspired by the rising place of Monkey King, the mall atriums celebrate the adventurous journey to west. The main central atrium features the waterfall garden of Elbe.
