Before coming to Changchun, I really didn’t expect the malls here to be so competitive, for example, this one has a mountain. This is a very special place that brings mountain scenery into the mall, allowing you to experience the poetry of distant places without leaving the city🍃.

🏔️ Thehill is a modern hill scenic town integrating dining, entertainment, and leisure. Its unique mountain-shaped structure guides people to climb the mountain and encounter various beauties on the hillside.
.
· Wenchan Pavilion and Wangshan Pavilion: These two pavilions stand opposite each other at the top of the mall and offer an excellent vantage point to overlook the entire mall panorama. Inside Wenchan Pavilion, there is a serene monk statue holding a golden toad, where many visitors make wishes and take photos.
· Mountain Cave Secret Realm: The cave area inside the mall is a hidden wonder. From the entrance, the high ceilings stretch layer by layer, making it a great spot for panoramic photography.
· Three-dimensional Mountain City Landscape: The internal mountain paths wind through the building, paved with stone slabs, with red lanterns hanging on both sides, as if walking into a three-dimensional oriental mountain city.
