Luohu Maoye World Guide 2026: 10-Floor Mall Just 5 Minutes from the Border, Your One-Stop Guide to Food, Shopping and Fun

A 10-storey new mall just 5 minutes from Luohu Port

When it comes to Shenzhen malls that are "right there the moment you clear customs", Maoye Tiandi is the most convenient one for travellers. The mall sits in the Greater China Global Financial Centre near Luohu Port, rising 10 storeys with around 38,000 square metres of space and over 100 brands — restaurants, a supermarket, a cinema, KTV, wellness massage and claw machines all under one roof, enough to fill a whole day. It's only about a 5-minute walk from Luohu Port, no transfers needed, making it perfect for a quick half-day trip.

Location and transport: step out of Luohu Station and you're there

Maoye Tiandi (Dongmen branch) is in the commercial heart of Luohu, connected to the Dongmen Old Street shopping district. After clearing customs at Luohu Port, it's about a 5-minute walk; you can also take Metro Line 1 to Luohu Station or Guomao Station and walk from there. The mall has roughly 140 metres of prime street frontage, and nearby is the first five-star Marriott hotel in Luohu — the exterior is easy to spot.

• Address: Greater China Global Financial Centre, Maoye Tiandi (Dongmen branch), Luohu District, Shenzhen
• Transport: about a 5-minute walk from Luohu Port; or walk from Luohu Station / Guomao Station on Metro Line 1
• Opening hours: generally 10:00–22:00 (varies slightly by shop)

What to eat: from dim sum to roast goose, floor after floor

One of Maoye Tiandi's selling points is its extremely dense concentration of restaurants. The more popular ones include:

• Keman Lou (first in Shenzhen): known for handmade dim sum, a rare Cantonese teahouse in the area, busiest during morning tea hours.
• Shengfeng Cheng: a long-established roast goose shop, its roast meats with rice are the signature, often full at lunch.
• Across the mall's 10 floors, more than 15 restaurants have moved in, covering coconut chicken, handmade dim sum and dessert shops — from morning tea to late-night supper without ever leaving the mall.

Suggested itinerary: clear customs in the morning and start with morning tea (Keman Lou), shop in the afternoon, watch a film or get a massage, then finish the evening with roast goose — a full day without changing locations.

What to do: cinema, KTV, massage, claw machines

Beyond eating and shopping, Maoye Tiandi has the most complete entertainment lineup in the Luohu area:

• Jinyi Cinema (VLED theatre): the area's first VLED cinema for an upgraded viewing experience; tickets are generally a good deal cheaper than in Hong Kong.
• KTV and claw machine shops: great for gatherings with friends, KTV rooms are charged by the hour, and new claw machine models arrive quickly.
• Wellness massage and spa: when you're tired from walking, get a foot massage or full massage on the spot, generally from around ¥100 per hour.
• Large supermarket: pick up daily necessities, snacks and drinks all in one go, no need to go anywhere else.

What to buy: cosmetics, fashion, streetwear

Maoye Tiandi caters mainly to female shoppers and younger crowds, with cosmetics brands, popular mainland fashion labels, streetwear and lifestyle goods. Prices are generally lower than comparable brands in Hong Kong, making it handy for topping up your supplies. The mall also runs opening promotions and member events from time to time, so check its official social accounts for current offers before you go.
