Upperhills Futian – Upmarket Shopping, Dining, & Leisure

by · Published · Updated

Upperhills is a fresh new upmarket development in Shenzhen offering shopping, dining, leisure, and accommodation. It’s no small development either with a staggering 895,000 sqm of ground floor area in use, yes, it’s huge and that makes it larger than MixC Luohu which is quite interesting.

An amazing feature of Upperhills is its location, yes it’s awkward to get to if your Maserati is broken and you have to take the metro, as you’ll also need to utilize your legs for a good 15-minute stroll from exit C of Lianhua station. BUT, nestled between three of Shenzhen’s nicest parks makes this an almost welcomed escape from the endless concrete jungle that is Futian CBD, Luohu, and Nanshan now too for that matter.

Taking the whole block width between Caitian Rd and Huanggang Rd it is smack between Lianhuashan Park (Lotus Hill), Bijiashan Park, and Shenzhen Central Park meaning that if you are lucky enough to get an apartment here or be staying at the Mandarin Oriental, then you are going to have some superb views not enjoyed elsewhere and fresh air to boot.

The Upperhills Mall (深业上城商场) offers an upmarket retail, dining, and leisure experience along with green spaces where you can chill out and dream about the Porsche you passed in the onsite Porsche exhibition hall. Tired of that, you can watch an IMAX flick, eat yourself silly at high-end cafe’s, and then struggle to fit into clothes you really like at GAP, Zara, and numerous other fashion retailers.
