This shopping mall appears in almost every travel guide on Dianping, likely due to its uniqueness.

⬇️Inside the building, there is a "mountain" (hence the name of the mall), and along its slopes, you'll find cafes, souvenir shops, and small stores. Most people come here to eat — the five floors offer everything from traditional northeastern Chinese cuisine to Korean BBQ and Japanese sushi.

Of course, we couldn't miss such a place, especially since we love to eat. Moreover, the shopping mall is incredibly beautiful and unique. It's best to start at the top (it's more convenient that way) and then walk down the paths.

We visited in the evening, and it was very crowded — it's a popular spot, as we mentioned earlier.
🕜 Like many things in China, The Hill has a beautiful story: a young monk lived in the mountains but learned that people in a nearby village were starving. He descended from the mountains to feed the villagers and has been revered ever since. At the entrance to the mall, there is a giant monk statue, and every day at 10:30 AM, a small show is held: like a puppet in a theater, the monk moves his arms and legs with the help of ropes. They say it's quite a spectacle.

We didn't see the show, and to be honest, among the five floors of food, we couldn't find anything appealing — everything was too specific, and the places we wanted to try had long queues. So, we crossed the street and had dinner at a European restaurant in Wanda Mall.

Nevertheless, The Hill is very beautiful and colorful, so we recommend you visit it too.
