The original intention of the design is to integrate Tianjin's past beauty with its current innovation, creating an ideal place for citizens to enjoy high-end shopping and cultural exploration.
- Inspiration
- The original intention of the design is to revitalize the commercial district with the most historical significance in Tianjin, give new functions to the protected building, and restore the glory of 100 years ago.
