Raffles City Chongqing is located at the very heart of the city, facing the junction of the Yangtze River and Jialing River. This strategic location attaches a great deal of symbolic significance to the mega-scale development as an icon of Chongqing. The design was inspired by the historic images of great Chinese sailing vessels on the river, paying tribute to Chongqing’s noble past as a trading centre. This mixeduse development consists of a shopping mall and eight towers for residential, office, serviced residence and hotel use, yielding a total GFA exceeding 1,127,000m². The complex will also serve as an important transportation hub integrating bus terminal, subway station and ferry terminal.
