Changsha IFS, featuring an enormous mall, boasts the city's most coveted location at the intersection of Huangxing Road (one of the busiest pedestrian streets) and Jiefang Road (financial street) with an underground linkage to the metro station. As a one-stop destination from entertainment to lifestyle, retail, culture and dining, Changsha IFS has quickly become a new landmark with LEED Platinum certification in Central China. It injects new impetus in the region by bringing in a vast array of exhibitions, cultural activities, festivals, and art collaborations with famous artists.
Changsha IFS brought to the city the first Park Hyatt hotel in the Central China region in June 2024. This remarkable addition, along with Niccolo Changsha (opened in 2018) and Maqo Changsha (inaugurated in 2023), marks another significant milestone for the property.
Chengdu IFS, modelled on Harbour City in Hong Kong, is strategically located at the intersection of three major commercial roads - Hongxing Road, Dacisi Road and Beishamao Street, the busiest pedestrian shopping area of the city.
