Many Hong Kong readers ask: "Is Hongling MixC (紅嶺萬象匯) open yet?" The direct answer: as of mid-September 2026, the official line is "expected to make its official debut within 2026," with no confirmed opening date. The Luohu District Government stated this clearly in its July reply to a public enquiry, and the Shenzhen Luohu District Commerce Bureau also visited the construction site on 1 July for a special study, saying it would "make every effort to ensure the smooth opening of new commercial projects." So this article is split in two: one half covers what is officially known about Hongling MixC, and the other covers places in Sungang you can already visit right now — because Sungang is already a fairly complete business district in its own right, and you don't need to wait for the new mall to open to go.
Hongling MixC: What Has Been Officially Announced
- Location: Hongling North Road, Luohu District, Sungang area (one of the Sungang urban renewal projects)
- Operator: China Resources Mixc Lifestyle (same group as Shenzhen MixC and Mixc Food Market)
- Gross floor area: about 83,000 sqm
- Format plan: retail, specialty dining, family leisure, trend-led lifestyle; an open pedestrian street area will host regular markets and festive promotions before and after opening
- Positioning: aiming to be South China's first "in-mall professional esports tournament lifestyle hall," and at the same time Luohu District's largest and most concentrated ACG (anime, comic, games) hub
- Opening time: government wording is "expected within 2026"; the actual date awaits official announcement
In other words: this mall is going after "young trendsetters + esports + ACG," a different route from Luohu's traditional Dongmen and MixC. For Hong Kong visitors, Sungang Station isn't far from Luohu Port, so once it opens it will be a new spot you can reach and start exploring almost immediately.
Transport: Sungang Station Is the Key
The Sungang area is mainly served by Sungang Station on Shenzhen Metro Line 7; Honghu Station on Line 7 and Shuibei Station on Line 3 are also nearby. From Luohu Port: Luohu Station (Line 1) → transfer at Laojie Station to Line 3 → Shuibei Station, or simply Line 1 → transfer at Grand Theatre Station to Line 7 → Sungang Station, a journey of about 20 minutes.
- Luohu Port → Sungang Station: about 20 minutes (Line 1 to Line 7, or Line 3 to Line 7)
- Futian Port → Sungang Station: about 35 minutes (Line 10 → transfer to Line 7)
- Shenzhen Bay Port → Sungang Station: about 55 minutes (Line 13 → Line 2/1 → Line 7)
Visit Right Now: 4 Ready-Made Sungang Attractions
1. Mixc Food Market (萬象食家) (direct access from Sungang Station, Exit A)
Opened on 30 September 2022, it is Shenzhen's first market-themed commercial complex, focused on eating plus shopping. The dining line-up is solid: Tan Yu · Fresh Green Pepper Grilled Fish (探魚·鮮青椒爽麻烤魚), Yu Yue Chuan (渝月川), Meet Noodles (遇見小麵) and more are all here, mostly ¥41–100 per person, great for a meal after shopping.
2. Sungang Arts Exhibition Center (筍崗藝展中心) (crafts wholesale)
Sungang is a long-established Shenzhen distribution hub for crafts and home decor, and the area around the Arts Exhibition Center has a large number of wholesale stalls — Christmas and New Year decorations, ceramics, aromatherapy, ornaments, all at bargain prices. If you're buying several items, remember to ask for the wholesale price; retail and wholesale prices can differ by double.
3. HALO Plaza (HALO 廣場) (Sungang's new dining force)
Sungang HALO Plaza Phase 2 began trial operation in July 2026, and the country's first "No. 79 Fishing Boat" (79 號漁船) brand flagship store has landed here: 4,979 sqm, 579 seats and 26 private rooms, a large venue for seafood and gatherings. If you want a proper meal with comfortable seating, this is Sungang's new option.
4. Honghu Park (洪湖公園) (free)
Honghu Station is just one stop from Sungang Station, and Honghu Park is one of Luohu's largest municipal parks, covering about 600,000 sqm. There are bald cypresses in winter and lotus flowers in summer, free entry all year round — a good place for a stroll to walk off your meal after the mall.
Price and Time Reference

Practical Tips
- Don't wait around for the new mall: Hongling MixC has no confirmed opening date, so check China Resources Mixc Lifestyle or Luohu District Government channels before you set off.
- Itinerary combo: Sungang Station (Mixc Food Market + Arts Exhibition Center) → Honghu Station (Honghu Park), all on Line 7, no need to call a car at all.
- Bargain-hunting reminder: the Arts Exhibition Center is mainly wholesale, so compare prices before haggling — don't buy at the first stall.
- Meal times: expect queues on weekends from 12:00–14:00 and 18:00–20:00; aim to be seated before 11:00 or 17:00.
FAQ
- When exactly does Hongling MixC open? The official line is "expected within 2026," with no date announced; refer to the latest announcements from the Luohu District Government and China Resources Mixc Lifestyle.
- Which metro stations are in Sungang? Mainly Sungang Station on Line 7, plus Honghu Station on Line 7 and Shuibei Station on Line 3.
- How far is Sungang from Luohu Port? About 20 minutes by metro — a very close business district within Luohu District.
- Is Sungang suitable for bringing kids? Mixc Food Market has restaurants and a supermarket, and Honghu Park has large lawns and play facilities, so it works for families.
- Will it be crowded? Weekdays are quieter; weekends and the early days after the new mall opens are expected to be packed, so avoid the first few days of opening.
Conclusion
Hongling MixC is Luohu's most noteworthy new commercial project for 2026, but it isn't open yet. Sungang itself, however, already has Mixc Food Market, the Arts Exhibition Center, HALO Plaza and Honghu Park, just 20 minutes from Luohu Port — doable as a same-day return trip. Once the new mall opens, this article will be updated with brands and opening offers; everything is subject to the latest official announcements.
