Overview

The building is primarily a shopping mall at the lower levels. The mall is home to many multinational retailers such as Uniqlo, C&A, and Zara (retailer), and is also connected to a Renaissance Shanghai Zhongshan Park Hotel. At night the skyscraper is lit by floodlights attached to the outside walls.
