Shenzhen has a new "non-standard retail" landmark. Luoshan Valley (羅山谷) in Shenzhen, operated by China Resources Mixc Lifestyle, is confirmed to open officially on Tuesday, 29 September 2026. It is located at 5 Huihua Road, Pinghu Subdistrict, Longgang District, covering 113,500 square metres, and is built around a "park + retail" valley-style design — not a traditional enclosed mall, but 21 low-rise standalone buildings scattered along the hillside among lychee groves, lawns and streams, so you can shop and hike at the same time.
For visitors to Shenzhen, the biggest draw of Luoshan Valley is this: over 80% of the tenants are founder-led brands and first stores, meaning many brands you will not have seen in Hong Kong or in other Shenzhen malls. On top of that, the park is free to enter and has a 1-kilometre hillside running trail and a large lawn — another weekend option for families heading to Shenzhen that does not involve squeezing through a mall.

2. Six zones: shopping or hiking? Both
- Qieting Town (且停鎮): A street-front retail area focused on coffee, desserts and lifestyle concept stores, and the main entry point for foot traffic.
- Echo Field (回聲場): An event space of about 13,000 ㎡, hosting markets and performances during the opening period.
- Jushi Field (聚時場): A large lawn of about 4,500 ㎡, good for picnics, kite flying and letting kids burn off energy.
- Gentle Slope (緩緩坡): Retains 46,000 ㎡ of native lychee grove, with an approximately 1-kilometre aerobic hillside running trail and rest areas under the trees.
- Listening Stream (聽幽澗): A 360-metre cascading stream runs through it, where you can enjoy the water and row a small boat.
- Free Wild (自在野): About 5,000 ㎡ of farmland for an urban pastoral experience.
3. First store list: which ones are worth a special trip?
Luoshan Valley makes "differentiated content" its calling card, with 3 national first stores, 5 South China first stores and 4 Shenzhen first stores:
- National first stores: AMZSELECT×OFFNOSE, Island Mood (島嶼心情), KEMENGDAO (珂夢島)
- South China first stores: Zhixi Space (知喜空間), DOOGHOOD, Seventeen (一十七), Congcong Bistro (樅樅小館), beU Safe House (beU 安全屋)
- Shenzhen first stores: Super Plants (超級植物), BADMARKET, Manshiyi (滿十邑), Wild Bull Seat (野牛座)
- Featured dining: Golden Rice Bowl (金飯碗), Benwei Yuansu (本味元素), SunnyHills (微熱山丘), Yuhe Tea Gathering (愈禾茶敘), Ooonato Happy Ice Cream Shop (Ooonato 開心冰淇淋商店)
- Play experiences: Vinyl House (黑膠房子) (vinyl culture + food and drinks), Huayang Warriors (花樣勇士) (jungle trekking), Jingxi Deep-Water Surfing (鯨汐深水衝浪) (the Bay Area's first deep-water surfing venue)
The most unusual is Jingxi Deep-Water Surfing (鯨汐深水衝浪) — an indoor deep-water surfing venue, the first in the Bay Area, so you can surf without going to the beach. The park also features interactive installations such as AR telescopes and firefly lights, giving it a different atmosphere at night.
4. How to get there? (Pinghu is closest)
Luoshan Valley is in Pinghu, Longgang, and is not particularly close to either the Liantang or Futian checkpoints, so it falls into the "easier by car or taxi" category:
- Metro: The closest station is Pinghu Station on Shenzhen Metro Line 10. From there, transfer to a taxi or a shared bike; check navigation for the actual distance.
- From the checkpoints: Entering Shenzhen via Liantang Checkpoint or Luohu Checkpoint and then taking Line 10 towards Pinghu is a relatively smooth route.
- By car: Navigate directly to "深圳羅山谷"; the park has parking facilities. On weekends, it is best to arrive early.
5. On the way: a Pinghu day trip
It is easy to spend half a day at Luoshan Valley itself, but if you want to combine it with nearby attractions, you could plan it like this:
- Morning: Wander the wholesale markets and malls around Shenzhen China South City (深圳華南城) in Pinghu.
- Midday: Go to Haijixing Agricultural Wholesale Market (海吉星農批市場) in Pinghu to buy seasonal fruit and dried seafood, cheaper than in the city centre.
- Afternoon to dusk: Walk the lychee groves, streams and lawns of Luoshan Valley, then wait for the lights to come on and shoot night views.
- Extra for kids: Longgang Children's Park (龍崗兒童公園) (reopened in recent years, free entry with a large rides area).
6. Is it worth a special trip?
To put it plainly: Luoshan Valley is not the kind of mall where you go to shop. If you are used to buying clothes and electronics at MixC or Coastal City, Luoshan Valley's retail may not satisfy you; but if you want half a day of "somewhere to walk, sit, eat and photograph", its ratio of greenery and sense of space are currently unmatched by other Shenzhen malls. Compared with the surrounding area: Pinghu is dominated by industrial parks and wholesale markets, without the high-density malls of Futian and Nanshan, so once Luoshan Valley opens it will hold a certain appeal for families in Longgang, Pinghu and the Dongguan area.
The recommended approach is to "treat it as a park": bring a picnic mat, a ball and a kite, enter after lunch, walk the lychee groves and listen to the stream, then stay until dusk for the lights — it is more relaxing than pure shopping. Those who want to shop can pair it with Shenzhen China South City (深圳華南城) in Pinghu, or with a mall back in the city centre afterwards.
7. Practical tips
- Expect heavy crowds in the first two weeks after opening (from 29 September). For comfortable photos, go on a weekday or arrive early on a weekend.
- Most of the park is outdoors. Shenzhen is still hot and rainy in September–October, so bring an umbrella, sunglasses and mosquito repellent.
- The buildings are low-rise and the site is open, so wear flat shoes. If you bring children, remember to pack water and snacks — the lawns are very convenient for picnics.
- If you want to eat at popular first stores (SunnyHills, Golden Rice Bowl and so on), it is best to check the queue situation on Dianping first, or avoid the two peak periods of 12:00–14:00 and 18:00–20:00.
Frequently asked questions
Does Luoshan Valley require a ticket?
The park itself is open-style park retail with no admission fee; individual experience items (such as the deep-water surfing venue and jungle trekking) are charged separately, subject to on-site and merchant announcements.
What is the fastest way to get there from Hong Kong?
After crossing the border, take Shenzhen Metro Line 10 to Pinghu Station and then transfer to a taxi for the fastest route; if you drive, you can enter via Liantang or Shenzhen Bay Port and navigate directly to "羅山谷". Actual travel time depends on the checkpoint and traffic conditions.
What else can I pair with it on the same day?
You can pair it with Shenzhen China South City (深圳華南城) and Haijixing Agricultural Wholesale Market (海吉星農批市場) in Pinghu, or Longgang Children's Park (龍崗兒童公園); a one-day itinerary of "shopping + park + food" can all be done at once.
What events will there be after opening?
The official line is that the six zones will open progressively from 29 September, with markets and performances during the opening period; the detailed event schedule is subject to announcements on the official "深圳羅山谷" WeChat account and by China Resources Mixc Lifestyle.
