Описание: #shanghai #china #citywalk #1000trees #mall
The 1000 Trees Mall is a unique and eye-catching landmark located at 600 Moganshan Road, Putuo District, Shanghai. Designed by the renowned British architect Thomas Heatherwick, he is famous for his avant-garde design style and bold innovation. The inspiration for 1000 Trees Mall's design comes from traditional Chinese garden landscapes, while also drawing from the artistic and sculptural characteristics of Huangshan and various mountain ranges across China, creating a building landscape that forms a "logical continuation, yet unexpected" relationship with the surrounding park.

The exterior of 1000 Trees Mall is uniquely shaped, expanding in a stepped manner from top to bottom, with 400 steps and 1000 structural columns forming mountainous tree-like terraces planted with over 1000 green plants. From a distance, it resembles a floating forest, leading some netizens to nickname it the "Babylonian Hanging Garden."

Along the Suzhou River, a riverside promenade has been specially constructed, providing people with a broad visual experience of blending mountains and water when viewed from afar.

However, the 1000 Trees Mall has also faced some controversy and criticism. Some people believe that its design is too unconventional and does not harmonize well with the surrounding environment. Nevertheless, as time has passed, more and more people have come to accept and appreciate this building, considering it one of Shanghai's new iconic structures.
