SKP Chengdu, on Tianfu Avenue North in Wuhou District across from the Global Center, opened in 2022 as Asia's largest sunken luxury shopping complex, built five stories below a landscaped rooftop park rather than as a conventional tower. The mall houses more than 1,300 brands, with an anchor mix of top-tier international luxury houses, high-end beauty and jewelry flagships, and premium department-store floors, making it one of the most upscale retail destinations in western China. All merchandise is authentic and sold at fixed prices; there is no bargaining culture, and card and mobile payment are standard, with a dedicated tax-refund service for eligible overseas shoppers. The atmosphere is polished and less crowded than street-level shopping areas, drawing an affluent local and out-of-town clientele, and dining spans white-tablecloth restaurants to a curated food hall. The must-visit corners are the rooftop park with landscaped walking paths, the ground-floor luxury atrium, and the beauty and jewelry hall on the upper underground level.
