This immersive park-style commercial space, designed around the ideal lifestyle of young people in Science City, will inject new vitality into consumption in Huangpu District and eastern Guangzhou.
Located in the core area of Guangzhou Science City, Guangzhou Xiangxue Time is positioned as an “Ideal Lifestyle Center for Science City Youth.” As Guangzhou’s first POD (Park Oriented Development) park-style commercial project, it breaks away from the enclosed format of traditional “box malls.” Guided by the concept of “irregular flow,” it seamlessly integrates natural ecology with commercial experiences, creating an immersive park-style destination where visitors can stroll, relax, and connect with nature.

Leveraging its location advantages, Guangzhou Xiangxue Time is developing a “fan-friendly commercial” model that transforms the young visitors attracted by more than 100 concerts held annually into a distinctive consumer hub.
After opening, the project will work with its catering and retail brands to seamlessly extend the excitement generated by concerts from the venues to the surrounding park-style commercial space.
