[Introduction to Popular Mainland Chinese Shopping Malls] Yifangcheng (Shenzhen)
Introduction to Yifangcheng
Unicity is a landmark shopping mall in Shenzhen's Bao'an District. Developed by China Resources Land , it opened with grand fanfare on November 25, 2017. Positioned as "One City, a Thousand Prosperities," it aims to create an urban complex integrating shopping, dining, entertainment, and leisure.
The scale of this shopping mall is astonishing, with a total construction area of approximately 360,000 square meters and a shopping mall area of more than 180,000 square meters . It is known as "one of the largest shopping malls in Shenzhen."
Join the brand history
Since its opening, Yifangcheng has continued to introduce well-known international and domestic brands. In that year, more than 400 brands settled in, of which about 200 were entering Bao'an District for the first time , and some even opened their first stores in Shenzhen.
For example:
- Apple Authorized Store
- MUJI
- ZARA, H&M, UNIQLO
- Starbucks Reserve
- Vientiane Cinema (Bao'an's first IMAX)
The arrival of these brands has quickly made Yifangcheng a "must-visit destination" for residents in western Shenzhen on weekends.

Editor's summary
I think Unicity is truly a blessing for residents of western Shenzhen! Whether it's weekend shopping, movies, or dining out, you can do it all here, eliminating the need to travel to Futian or Nanshan. For those living in Bao'an, it's like an "extension of your living room," making shopping, gatherings, and family activities incredibly convenient.
