A world-class fashion center will soon be available to all Qingdao citizens.

Qingdao CBD Wanda Plaza—the largest third-generation urban complex, or HOPSCA (Hotel, Office, Parking, Shopping mall, Convention and Apartment)—will be opened to the public on November 27.

The Plaza is a multi-functional combination of shopping, leisure, dining and entertainment. It joins hands with 11 worldwide anchor companies, including Van’s Department Store, super five-star Le Meridien Starwood Hotel, Jusco supermarket, Wanda International Cinema, Gome electric appliances and Liang You Catering.

New commercial center to rise in Qingdao

A multi-functioning urban complex is a smart choice for every vibrant business zone to stimulate regional dynamics and optimize regional value.

Qingdao realizes that, and after nearly two years of construction, the Qingdao Wanda Plaza, located in the northern part of the city, is almost complete, soon to offer major shops and indoor pedestrian boutiques. The entire plaza covers 44,000 m2, with a total construction area of 380,000 m2, of which the commercial zone takes up 200,000 m2. With shopping malls, business offices, high-star hotels, luxury apartments and public facilities, the Qingdao Wanda Plaza will bring a one-stop shopping experience for customers.

As the first large-scale urban HOPSCA project introduced in northern Qingdao, Wanda Plaza has already shown great progress in attracting and gathering businesses, as several commercial giants are all expected to open to the public on Nov 27. Among them, Le Meridien is a joint effort world-class luxury hotel by Wanda Group and Starwood—one of the world’s top three hotel management groups. It is also the first super five-star hotel in Qingdao, with a total of 25 floors, 350 luxury rooms and a banquet hall that can hold up to 2,000 people. The hotel has all the amenities and comfort to meet the needs of tourists and high-end business people from home and abroad.

Providing varied entertainment to all ages

Qingdao CBD Wanda Plaza has been paying special attention to the introduction of entertainment businesses in its development plan, and in the initial stages of inviting businesses in order to provide a full-range of audio-visual enjoyment to its customers.

The Wanda International Cinema has eight large-scale halls which can accommodate up to 1,600 people to view their favorite movies. For KTV enjoyment, Great Singer KTV offers singing entertainment to everyone from urban white-collar workers to students. The Big Player Games Room has popular interactive electronic games and a 1,500-square-meter skating ring, which aims to attract groups of dynamic customers of over 15 years of age. And for fitness fanatics, the Weider-Tera Gym is the first large-scale fitness club in Qingdao, complete with two indoor professional swimming lanes.

Qingdao CBD Wanda Plaza not only provides entertainment enjoyment to adults, but also caters to the needs of children. The Cheer Kids Play Park can accommodate up to 1,000 children, providing hours of fun and games.
