Tee Mall Guangzhou

Your Ultimate 2025 Shopping & Dining Guide

Why Tee Mall Matters in Guangzhou's Shopping Scene

When Tee Mall opened its doors in 1996, it was unlike anything Guangzhou had seen before. Instead of the usual department stores and street markets, Tee Mall introduced a Western-style mega mall concept with shopping, dining, entertainment, and services all under one roof.

For locals, it quickly became a symbol of the city's modernization. For visitors, it's still one of the most recommended malls to experience everyday Guangzhou life while enjoying international conveniences.

Even today, Tee Mall remains a benchmark. Despite dozens of newer malls popping up in the city, it still pulls in huge crowds daily thanks to its central location, brand diversity, and cultural relevance.
