Chunxi Road has long been a symbol of commercial prosperity in Chengdu, but now it has new rivals: Hongxing Road and the nearby Daci Temple.

On Jan 14, the Chengdu International Finance Square mall opened. It cost some 16 billion yuan ($2.6 billion) and offers 760,000 square meters of space.

The building brings about 300 luxury, jewelry and fashion labels to central Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province.
