Summer Heat Haters: Shopping at Dayun Xintiandi? ABORT MISSION!
-
Not to get all serious or anything, but I'm just sharing my straightforward impressions as an ordinary resident.
-
So, when's a good time to go? After dinner, just as the sun sets, is perfect for a stroll. Summer brings lots of mosquitoes, so definitely use repellent. Rainy days? Just skip it. It's damp, ruins the mood, and you'd need an umbrella. For autumn and winter, daytime is best; nights are windy and cold, so you'll need a windbreaker. On weekends, check the event schedule. If there's a concert or something similar, don't even bother – it'll be packed. It's best to use eco-friendly transport, like an e-bike or the subway. If you drive, don't even think about parking fees; you might not even find a spot. Overall, if it weren't for Muji, I wouldn't go to Dayun; I'd rather go to Vanke Mall. The brands are pretty much the same, but the key difference is Vanke is indoors, sheltered from sun and rain, and parking is easier than at Dayun.

Exactly! You summed it up perfectly. That whole 'exposed to the wind, sun, and rain' thing – I think minimalists would find it a real hassle.
-
Adding 'New' to 'Dayun Tiandi' (making it 'Dayun New Tiandi') suddenly makes it sound like some rural-urban fringe area.
-
I often go for a walk there after dinner; it's quite pleasant.
-
It's really only convenient for people living nearby. For those of us in Henggang, the shopping experience isn't great if we have to travel over.
-
Dayun New Tiandi... Is that some new 'product' you've launched?

Reborn: And I Opened a Dayun New Tiandi.

Even getting from the underground parking to the mall involves a stretch of ground that gets incredibly sunny – you feel like you're being baked! I live nearby, and in summer, I only go for walks in the evening or take my e-bike. Anyone who comes during the day is a true warrior.
-
Exactly! Do other nearby residents feel this way too? During the Jacky Cheung concert and then the Vae Xu one, we had to park kilometers away... But hey, there are tons of pretty girls at Dayun, which is definitely easy on the eyes!
-
Going at dusk is best.
-
Will there be a lot of mosquitoes?
-
Every time I try to park, it's a gamble whether they'll even let you in. And if the security guard does let you through, you're expected to be eternally grateful. Seriously, I'm speechless.
-
We always end up parking kilometers away.
-
I agree, parking is a nightmare there. If there's a concert on the weekend, forget about finding a spot.
-
True, it's best to go during off-peak times if you can.
-
It's called Shenzhen Dayun Tiandi.
-
Haha, well, for me, it's pretty much the same thing.
