Ziko Baby – By Moms, For Moms.

A WeChat Group for All Baby Essentials

If you’ve ever gone down an online rabbit hole searching for baby stuff, this one’s for you, dear new (or expecting) parent.

A new kind of baby community is landing this summer – built by mamas, to make young parents’ lives easier and help them find trusted products for their little ones (and for mamas too).

Meet Ziko Baby.

Ziko Baby, the newest member of the Zikoland family, opens its doors (well, its WeChat group) on June 16. It’s a community first online platform – with a carefully chosen shelf of products that real mamas actually use and trust.

THE ZIKO STORY

If the name Ziko rings a bell, you may already know Zikoland – the Shanghai-grown, WeChat-based collective behind Ziko Kitchen, Ziko Cellar, Ziko Farm and Ziko Pet Corner.

Some of you are likely in one of their multiple WeChat groups. Since 2017, they’ve been quietly doing the same thing: gathering good people around good products, with quality always front of mind.

BY MOMS, FOR MOMS

Ziko Baby is the natural next chapter. As the community grew, the team asked the mamas among them one simple question: what’s missing? Then they went sourcing – starting with the tried-and-tested products they already used with their own babies.

The result: a curated collection moms can rely on – French diapers, healthy snacks and meals, imported juices, essentials for newborns and mamas, everything big and small a baby needs.

And just like in every Zikoland group, each product comes with a daily flash-sale price.

After months of preparation and trials (see the community feedback above!), Ziko Baby officially launches on June 16 at 2pm in the Ziko Baby WeChat group, with its first flash sale of the day.

Expect essentials covering every stage from 0 to 4 years.

MORE THAN SHOPPING

Coming up: groups by age, where mamas (and papas!) swap real experience, occasional meet-ups and workshops, plus perks from Zikoland partners – restaurants, hospitals, hotels and more. When? Soon, right after the community grows bigger.

HOW TO JOIN

Easy: add Ziko Baby community manager Suzi on WeChat, and she’ll invite you into the group.What you’ll find inside are curated products, by moms, for moms – with care and love.

Chengdu TaiKoo Li “Marvelous Journey” Public Art

The winter of 2025 deepens, Taikoo Li Chengdu weaves a creative and childlike wonder into the city downtown, building an emotional energy zone where joy can converge, flow, and resonate. Beneath the canopy of the Temple Plaza, a luminous dance of colored lights begins, marking the start of a marvelous winter journey!

For this installation, Taikoo Li Chengdu has commissioned architect Li Han to create five original architectural structures inspired by local architecture, culture, and lifestyle motifs: the “Hotpot Tower”, “Teapot Tower”, “Mahjong Tower”, “Sichuan Opera Stage”, and “Watchtower Diving Platform”, vividly interpreting five iconic scenes of living in Chengdu.

Winding tracks meander through the structures, where small balls roll along – sometimes fast, sometimes slow – as if threading together joys of everyday life. As the balls roll on, the joyfulness gets together and spreads around to generate a growing “kinetic joy” that culminates in a massive joyous energy zone.

Life is a grand adventure, found in everyday joy. This late 2025, come and join us at Taikoo Li Chengdu! Feel the vibrant energy and happiness through the air, and embark on your own marvelous journey!

About Zikoland

Since 2017

Think premium Wagyu, sashimi-grade blufin tuna, exceptional French cheeses, and gourmet cold cuts – that’s what makes Ziko Kitchen the go-to for high-end home cooking.
Its secret? Everything begins with Zikoland, a community-centered marketplace built by people who are passionate about great food.

Zikoland started with two French friends and food enthusiasts — chef Ziko and his partner Yohan back in 2017. Their idea was straightforward: remove the middlemen, partner directly with top importers, and offer premium products at prices that won’t make you tear up.
Basically: top-notch restaurant-grade quality products at flash-sale prices, delivered to your door.
Today, Zikoland has four major communities, each offering its own products but built on the same core idea — delivering top quality in every category. With over 20,000 members, the Ziko community includes Ziko Kitchen for gourmet foods, Ziko Cellar for wine and spirits, Ziko Farm for fresh produce and spices, and Ziko Pet Corner for pet food and accessories.

Quality Assurance

Never compromise on quality

Everything at Ziko Kitchen is tested by Ziko’s team — if it doesn’t meet the standard, it’s out.
With a no-questions-asked refund policy, every product is tested against similar options, and only the top choice is shared with the community.

Ziko Kitchen

Gourmet finds

✔ Wagyu beef, ribeyes, dry-aged steak, short rib, skirt steak, beef patties, mince, osso buco, veal, and bone marrow.

「Your Incredible Moments」

Taikoo Li Chengdu Tenth Anniversary Celebration

Taikoo Li Chengdu was finished ten years ago, and really changed the dynamic of the city. It has quickly become the key destination for luxury and lifestyle shops, bars and restaurants in Chengdu. Surrounding the historic Daci temple, and bordering the Temple House Hotel – the complex holds boutique fashion brands, top restaurants and more.

Since its official opening in 2015, TaiKoo Li Chengdu has been committed to creating a world-class urban destination of Chengdu.

The year 2025 marks the 10th anniversany of Taikoo Li Chengdu. Over the past decade, with our creative transfomation, Taikoo Li Chengdu has become a world class urban destination that offers unique and memorable retail and lifestyle experiences to both locals and visitors.

To commemorate this milestone, Taikoo Li Chengdu curated a thematic exhibition “Your incredible Moments” set inside a ten-meter-tall pavilion. Viewed from above, the pavilion’s architectural framework and heritage wall form a figure of “10” that represents Taikoo Li Chengdu’s decade long journey and resembles a vessel that holds memories, emotions,and imagination. Crafted from reclaimed wood beams of tradltional western Sichuan residences,the pavilion fuses tradtion wth innovation, symbolizing a future of strength and vitality.

On the ground floor of the pavilion, Taikoo Li Chengdu calaborated with illustrator Zhou Yinyin to create ten multi-layered illustrations; Enlightening, Déjà vu, Indulging, Free Will, At Ease, Falling-in-love, Flow, Healing, Vibration,and Togethernes, These illustrations depict ten profound feelings and emotions, each known as “Shi (10) Fen” a homophonic expression in Chinese that signifies both a moment in time and the idea of perfection.

These moments embody the spirt of Taikoo Li Chengdu , going beyond a retail destinaton to create an urban public space where inspiration flows, emotions resonate,and minds connect. The second level of the pavilion unfolds like a scroll painting. During the day, it reveals ever-changing scenes ofthe four seasons, symbolizing the flow of time over ten years. As night falls, the imagery transforms into a futuristic universe, sparking endless imagination and the pursuit of new horizons.

Talkoo Li Chengdu has consistently embraced originality into placemaking, merging imagination and creativity to form a unique Chengdu urban experience.This experience is also a culmination of countless personal moments shared by every visitor. We aspire to create many more “lncredible Moments” together in the next decade and beyond.

Exhibition Time:

Top Outlet Shopping Centers in Chengdu

 

Looking for the best outlet shopping in Chengdu? Whether you’re searching for luxury fashion, international designer labels, sportswear or everyday bargains, the city offers several excellent outlet destinations worth exploring.

From premium open-air shopping villages to large outlet malls with hundreds of brands, Chengdu has something for every type of shopper. While some outlets focus on luxury and international fashion, others offer a wider mix of sportswear, casual clothing and lifestyle brands. As a result, choosing the right outlet depends on what you plan to buy, where you’re staying and how much time you have.

This updated 2026 guide introduces some of the best outlet shopping centers in Chengdu, including Florentia Village, Hope Outlets, Times Outlets and Chengdu Shanshan Outlet Plaza. We’ve also included Happy Valley Outlet Shopping Center as another convenient option for visitors already exploring that part of the city.

Since outlet brands, promotions and seasonal offers change regularly, it’s always worth checking the latest information before making a dedicated shopping trip.

 

Top 3 Outlet Shopping Centers in Chengdu

Below, we’ve put together our tips for outlet shopping in Chengdu, helping you choose the right outlet shopping center and find your favorite brands at the best prices.

Florentia Village Chengdu (佛罗伦萨小镇)

Florentia Village Chengdu is widely regarded as one of the city’s best outlet shopping destinations. Unlike a traditional enclosed shopping mall, it features elegant Italian-inspired architecture, pedestrian streets and landscaped public spaces that create a relaxed atmosphere for a full day of shopping.

Since opening in 2017, Florentia Village has continued to expand. The completion of its third phase increased the total retail area to more than 120,000 square metres, making it one of the largest premium outlet villages in western China. Today, it is home to more than 260 international and domestic brands, attracting both local shoppers and visitors from across the region.

Whether you’re looking for luxury fashion, premium accessories or sportswear at discounted prices, Florentia Village offers one of the widest selections in Chengdu.

What Makes Florentia Village Special?

One of Florentia Village’s biggest strengths is its unique shopping environment. Instead of feeling like a typical shopping mall, the outlet recreates the atmosphere of a small Italian town with colourful buildings, open squares, fountains and tree-lined walkways.

As a result, many visitors spend an entire afternoon here rather than simply shopping for a few hours. Families, couples and groups of friends can enjoy restaurants, cafés and seasonal events while exploring the outlet’s different shopping streets.

Furthermore, the outlet regularly hosts themed activities and holiday celebrations, making every visit feel slightly different throughout the year.

Brands and Shopping Experience

Florentia Village focuses primarily on premium and international brands. Although individual stores occasionally change, shoppers can usually expect to find well-known names across fashion, sportswear, accessories, beauty and lifestyle categories.

Popular brands have included:

  • Coach
  • Michael Kors
  • Furla
  • Bally
  • Nike
  • Adidas
  • Puma
  • Under Armour
  • Tommy Hilfiger
  • Calvin Klein
  • Levi’s
  • Swarovski

Besides luxury fashion, the outlet also offers restaurants, cafes and family-friendly facilities, making it suitable even for visitors who simply want a relaxing day out.

Tax Refund Services

Florentia Village is also one of the few outlet destinations in Chengdu that actively provides services for eligible international visitors. Foreign tourists who meet the current requirements may be able to apply for departure tax refunds on qualifying purchases.

However, refund policies and eligibility requirements can change. Therefore, it is always advisable to confirm the latest procedures with customer service before shopping.

Who Is It Best For?

Florentia Village is ideal for:

  • Luxury and premium brand shopping
  • International visitors
  • Families and couples
  • Visitors looking for a relaxed full-day shopping experience
  • Fashion lovers searching for discounted designer brands

As a result, it is a worthwhile destination for shoppers looking to explore another side of Chengdu’s outlet scene.

Why Visit Hope Outlets?

One of Hope Outlets’ biggest advantages is its relaxed atmosphere. Compared with some of Chengdu’s busier shopping destinations, visitors can usually browse stores more comfortably, especially on weekdays.

One of Shanshan’s biggest advantages is its modern layout. Wide pedestrian streets, landscaped public areas and spacious shopping zones create a comfortable environment that’s easy to explore.

In addition, the outlet regularly organises seasonal events, themed activities and family-friendly entertainment throughout the year. Consequently, many visitors choose to combine shopping with dining and leisure rather than simply making a quick shopping trip.

Because the outlet is relatively new, the facilities also feel more modern than some of Chengdu’s older outlet centres.

Brands and Shopping Experience

Shanshan Outlet Plaza opened with more than 200 brands, offering a good balance of international labels, sportswear, casual fashion and lifestyle retailers. Visitors can expect to find stores across categories including:

  • International fashion
  • Sportswear and outdoor brands
  • Women’s and men’s clothing
  • Shoes and accessories
  • Lifestyle products
  • Restaurants and cafes

Although the brand directory continues to evolve, the outlet has established itself as a destination where shoppers can compare a wide range of products in one location. Therefore, it’s suitable whether you’re searching for premium fashion or everyday essentials.

More Than Just Shopping

Besides shopping, Shanshan Outlet Plaza places a strong emphasis on creating an enjoyable visitor experience. Throughout the year, the outlet hosts promotional campaigns, cultural activities and seasonal celebrations, giving shoppers more reasons to return beyond outlet discounts alone.

Furthermore, its spacious layout and leisure facilities make it particularly attractive for families and groups who want a relaxed shopping day rather than a rushed visit.

Who Is It Best For?

Shanshan Outlet Plaza is ideal for:

  • Visitors looking for one of Chengdu’s newest outlet shopping destinations

「THE GIFT OF TIME」

Taikoo Li Chengdu Nineth Anniversary Celebration

Taikoo Li Chengdu was finished nine years ago, and really changed the dynamic of the city. It has quickly become the key destination for luxury and lifestyle shops, bars and restaurants in Chengdu. Surrounding the historic Daci temple, and bordering the Temple House Hotel – the complex holds boutique fashion brands, top restaurants and more.

Since its official opening in 2015, TaiKoo Li Chengdu has been committed to creating a world-class urban destination of Chengdu.

On the occasion of its 9th anniversary TaiKoo Li Chengdu draws inspiration from “time”, encapsulating the concept of “the brewing and fermentation of time’. Symbolizing the gradual development and evolution of Taikoo Li Chengdu over 9 years, this exhibition invites the public to closely observe the process and changes brought about by time,  indulge in the rich aroma naturally emanating from the passage of time, and appreciate the gift of time.

Taikoo Li Chengdu 9th Anniversary Exhibition

Talkoo Li Chengdu has aptly named the exhibition “好9好久”. The initial “好” refers to “大吉” (big luck), the numeral “9” represents the 9th anniversary; and “好久’ stands for “great and ancient”, which perfectly resonates with this sentiment.

This exhibition is inspired by the 9-year journey of Taikoo Li Chengdu and has customized “fermentation laboratory”, through a unique concept of plant fragrance blending selecting natural herbs and oriental tea leaves are selected. After undergoing a two-stage light fermentation process and varying durations, nine different alcoholic strengths and flavors of sparking tea wine are crafted, ranging from refreshing sweetness to rich mellowness, layer by layer. People can taste the sparkling tea wines as a time-honored gift from a 9 years journey.
