The most awesome Yuehai Street
Check-in The most awesome Yuehai Street
For Shenzhen people, what is most commendable about Yuehai Street is that it has created a constantly improving shopping and leisure center - Coastal City.
After the tender for the construction of the Houhai business district in 2003, Poly, Coastal International, and Tianli three companies boldly invested heavily, each creating a cultural entertainment business office complex of over 300,000 square meters. In 2007, the three companies launched commercial areas of 150,000, 120,000, and 80,000 square meters respectively, all connected by a two-story platform, forming a huge shopping space that freely switches between two three-dimensional Malls and an overhead pedestrian plaza, becoming the convenient choice for Shenzhen people.
The real change came after 2017, when Nanshan District's GDP surged 5 times to 1465.8 billion, becoming the top 1 of the top 100 districts in the country. Coastal City also launched the third round of brand upgrades, from initially providing convenient community-type business centers, to the second round of fast fashion, and then to the third round of introducing international light luxury and popular brands, creating a popular shopping center that radiates the whole Shenzhen.
For example, in 2019, Coastal City created the only underground parking lot in Shenzhen with "air conditioning", which is of course very popular with Shenzhen people who are hard to bear the heat of the underground garage in the half-year summer.
Coastal City, located in the central section of the 800-meter-long commercial street, continues to advance itself, updating about 1/5 of its categories each year, not only bringing prosperity to its neighbors Poly and Tianli, but also igniting the entire Houhai business circle. In recent years, two more commercial plazas have joined the platform, with more categories; because the platform is open to all adjacent buildings, and escalators and elevators are provided for assistance, the services in the business circle are also more convenient. Among so many commercial plazas in Shenzhen, Coastal City has the most choices and is the most convenient to move.
Taking advantage of the fact that the coders have not yet gone to work, the road is quiet, and I took a small tour in the Yuehai jurisdiction. Including the Houhai business district 1-9 on the south side of Binhai Avenue; and the Science and Technology Park 10-17 on the north side of Binhai Avenue. It seems that many Fortune 500 companies have moved in, and the intuitive feeling is that the density of skyscrapers is almost catching up with Futian CBD, with a bit of Central flavor. There are not many buildings that really shine, except for the "bamboo shoot" of China Resources Center, perhaps Tencent Center can be considered one.
At present, the two-story platform only runs through the Houhai business district. Shenzhen Bay Cultural Square, Shenzhen Bay Vientiane City (super luxury shopping center) Phase II, and Houhai Headquarters Base are all under accelerated construction 18.
It can be foreseen that a larger range of aerial walkway systems will connect the Houhai residential area and extend all the way to Shenzhen Bay Vientiane City and Talent Park, achieving seamless links between living, employment, and leisure spaces. I am happy to see the CBD, business center and its developed aerial walkway system in Central, Hong Kong, presented to Shenzhen people in a more comfortable form in Houhai.
At noon, I went to the Chen Pengpeng Chaoshan Restaurant, which was endorsed by Playboy Cai Lan, and ordered three of the four signature dishes: Chaowei braised goose liver, pan-fried pomfret, and seafood live porridge. The taste and heat are all in place.
