Taikoo Li Sanlitun (), previously known as Sanlitun Village, is a retail complex situated in the Sanlitun neighborhood of Beijing's Chaoyang District. The development spans 19 structures across two adjacent sites within easy walking distance. It features various retail outlets alongside a boutique hotel, The Opposite House (瑜舍), which offers 99 rooms.
Location
Positioned close to Beijing Subway Line 2 Dongsi Shitiao Station and Line 10 Tuanjiehu Station, Taikoo Li Sanlitun is also conveniently near Line 6 Dongdaqiao Station. Visitors can reach the center on foot from these stations, with Exit A or D at Tuanjiehu being the preferred access points.
History and construction
Launched in July 2008, this project was developed and is operated by Hong Kong-based Swire Properties. It is divided into two principal sections:
- The Piazza (Taikoo Li South)
Home to more than 260 retail stores, dining establishments, and a multiplex cinema.
- The Deck (Taikoo Li North)
Dedicated to fashion labels and includes galleries presenting cutting-edge and contemporary artworks by both Chinese and international artists.
Design
The design was a collaboration between Hong Kong’s Oval Partnership and renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. Taikoo Li South takes cues from Beijing’s historic hutong alleyways, whereas Taikoo Li North emulates the traditional courtyard layout of Chinese siheyuan. The entire complex incorporates modern touches such as open water features and contemporary art displays.
