About this place

A high-end designer outlet built to exactingly replicate Italian Renaissance architecture — fountains, cobblestone streets and ochre-yellow arcades that have no business existing in the middle of Chongqing, yet do.

Drifter says

"Located in Shapingba District, best reached by car or Didi — about 45 minutes from the city center. Open 10am to 9pm, weekends until 9:30pm. The biggest discounts hit in January to February during Chinese New Year and November for the anniversary sales. Choose a sunny afternoon, sit by the fountain in the piazza, and let the cognitive dissonance of being in a perfect Tuscan square while technically still in Chongqing fully sink in."
