Taikoo Li Sanlitun, Modern retail complex in Sanlitun district, Beijing, China
Taikoo Li Sanlitun is a contemporary shopping complex in Beijing's Sanlitun district spread across multiple connected buildings with modern design. The center houses approximately 200 retail shops, restaurants, and cafés arranged throughout open-air passages and courtyards.
The site opened in 2008 under Swire Properties, a Hong Kong-based developer, reshaping retail activity in the surrounding embassy quarter. This development marked a shift toward contemporary shopping destinations in what was previously a more traditional neighborhood area.
The name Taikoo references a historic British trading company that shaped the area's development. Visitors walk through open courtyards and passages that echo traditional Chinese housing layouts, creating a blend of old and new spatial concepts.
The complex is easily accessible by subway with stations located nearby in the Sanlitun area. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since the layout requires moving between different sections on foot.
A boutique hotel is integrated directly into the shopping development, creating an unusual mix of lodging and retail experience. This arrangement allows visitors to stay and shop without leaving the property.
