Chengdu New Century Global Center

Chengdu New Century Global Center, in Wuhou District near Jincheng Plaza metro station, is one of the largest buildings in the world by floor area, housing a shopping mall alongside an indoor water park (Paradise Island), an ice rink, a cinema multiplex, and a hotel under a single roof. The retail mix skews toward mid-range domestic and international chains, sportswear, and family-oriented shops rather than luxury flagships, and all goods are authentic branded merchandise sold at fixed prices with no bargaining culture. Card and mobile payment are standard throughout, and tax-refund services are more limited here than at the city's higher-end malls, so shoppers pursuing refunds should check counter availability in advance. The complex draws a family and leisure crowd rather than a fashion-focused one, given its indoor beach and water park as the main draw, and dining spans mall-standard food courts to sit-down restaurants across its multiple wings. The must-visit corners are the Paradise Island indoor beach and wave pool, the ice rink level, and the connecting retail corridor toward SKP Chengdu across Tianfu Avenue.
