Xinhua List Factors In Facilities, Location, Boutiques And Popularity
Recently, Jing Daily translated the Chinese portal JRJ’s top ten list of China’s “Ten Most Luxurious Cities,” which saw Beijing and Shanghai jostling for the top spot. (Spoiler: Shanghai won out.) This week, another top ten list, this time compiled by Xinhua, looks at a somewhat more specific topic: Beijing’s ten most luxurious malls. While the subject of luxury mall, or luxury apartment, or luxury office complex construction in Beijing over the past 10-20 years tends to elicit strong reactions from virtually everyone — for better or for worse — it is always interesting to keep an eye on the criteria used by the Chinese-language media to judge what makes a given mall “luxurious.”
The list (translation by Jing Daily team):
