Xidan probably is young Beijingers’ favorite shopping, dining and entertainment area. Unlike Wangfujing, shops and malls in Xidan are more catered to the locals rather than tourists. There were two major stores in this area, the Grand Pacific Mall and Zhongyou Department Store. However, the opening of the Joy City in early 2008 made Xidan more attractive to young people.
The Joy City officially opened on February, 2008. It’s developed by COFCO, the largest oils and food importer and exporter in China and a leading food manufacturer, and managed by a Hong Kong Management Team. It beats all the other older malls in size, design and concept.
Once inside you will be amazed by the huge spacious decorated in a variety of themes as they stretch up toward the top. Above the 7 floors of retail space, the building then provides apartment and hotel accommodation.
This massive 13 storey new mall comes equipped with world’s longest escalator (from 1st floor directly to the 6th floor), the largest digital cinema in China with totally 13 screens, and the largest open cosmetic shop in Beijing. Many stores cover a great range of stylish and price ranges. There are more than 30 international brands settling in at the first Beijing branch of Joy City. Zara opens its second shop in Beijing there, so does FAB and Guess, and Uniqlo, Next, Motivi, Muji, and Honeys appear in Beijing for the first time. The Joy City is a good place for dining as well. You can find Sichuan food, local snacks, ,Japanese foodThai food, hotpot, noodle, ice cream store, bubble tea stand,
