Reviews
- violet_mantaWent to dinner near Changshou Lu with a friend the other day and we ended up checking out the mall right next door. The outside looks pretty cool, honestly super eye-catching with the design. Inside there's tons of food options — the basement level has all the snacks and drinks packed into one spot, super easy to just wander around. There's even a gym on the third floor with stuff for both guys and girls. Pop Mart is right by the entrance which is perfect for photos lol. Whole place is clean and just feels nice to walk around, good spot to chill after lunch.
