Taikoo Li Qiantan is the first retail wellness center of its kind, located in the middle of the new Qiantan Masterplan on the Huangpu River and south of the Shanghai Expo. Taikoo Li's layered approach to retail combines principles of biophilic design and wellness, spread across 120,000 square meters. The project is divided into three zones: north, south, and center. It presents a series of landscaped courtyards, outdoor shops and restaurants, as well as two enclosed retail spaces at the north and south ends.
At the highest level, a 450-meter-long outdoor running track weaves between the shops, serving as the main circulation path and creating a unique and defining symbol of wellness within the project. Linking the north and south ends is a 50-meter-long, two-level Scenic Bridge, which creates an experiential moment for visitors while functioning as a vital connection between the center’s upper levels.
