The motorization of Beijing society continues to accelerate. The shopping center provides the city's largest parking lot, accommodating 3,000 vehicles and enabling customers to enjoy their shopping in a leisurely manner.

To date Aeon has opened 24 stores mainly in Southern China and Shangdong area since the launch of its first store in Hong Kong by Aeon Stores (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. in 1987. In May 2006, a Chinese branch of Aeon was established in Beijing in order to accelerate store openings in China. In October 2007, Aeon established a business alliance with SIIC Shanghai (Holdings) Co Ltd, a leading property developer in China, which has had many successes and acquired considerable expertise in large scale urban development projects. Aeon will advance urban development in China focusing on mall-style shopping centers, and continue development within the group, through its partnership with SIIC Shanghai.

Aeon plans to accelerate store openings in China with a target of 100 shopping centers mainly in Southern China, Shangdong area and Northern China by the end of 2010.

Environmental Conservation/Social Contribution Activities Programs at the Shopping Center:
- As one of the environmental conservation activities conducted together with local customers, a tree planting ceremony will be held on the premises of the shopping center in October.
