Brief introduction of Thames town
Time Town is located in the core area of Songjiang New Town in the western suburbs of Shanghai, which is very close to Songjiang University Town. Take Metro Line 9 from downtown and get off at Songjiang Xincheng Station. The town covers an area of about one square kilometer, with a total construction area of 500,000 square meters and a green coverage rate of 60%. It is a large-scale community with multiple functions such as residence, tourism and leisure.
Times Town, Songjiang New Town 1 square kilometer town, is located between the residential group in the West District and the new town business center. The continuous multifunctional pedestrian street and the English square by the lake are the main axes of commercial facilities, which gather clubs, hospitals, supermarkets and churches, as well as various public facilities that accommodate single-family villas, townhouses, multi-storey apartments and business centers. The town introduces the local customs and living characteristics of small towns along the Thames River in England, pursues the best harmony between man and nature, and embodies the strong cultural atmosphere of modernization, internationalization, ecology and tourism in Songjiang New Town. The natural and smooth road system and beautiful rivers are organically combined and become the skeleton of the development of the whole region. Among them, a continuous multifunctional pedestrian street and a lakeside English square have become the main axis of the overall planning, and they are also good places for residents and tourists to gather, perform, relax and communicate. They are rich in layers and fascinating, and the overall atmosphere is full of life feelings and fun.
The overall layout and brick by brick of Times Town reflect the original British style, and each block presents different appearance effects, which can be described as one step. In addition to various villa residential areas, the town also has public facilities such as physical examination club, fitness club, art museum, urban planning exhibition hall, hotel, bookstore, Catholic church, music and art center, starry theater, restaurant, creative clothing store and wedding photography studio.
Whenever friends come from far away, I like to take them to Times Town for at least one day. If I am not in a hurry, I will also advise my friends to stay in town for a day. Especially those who like photography can take beautiful photos of various European customs here without going to Europe. Almost every day, many new people take wedding photos here.
If you like shopping, there are many studios or image planning shops opened by designers to choose from. Clothing and accessories are very distinctive and creative. The clothes bought here are certainly not easy to collide with others.
If you are tired of filming and shopping, you can choose a coffee shop or a tea room according to your own preferences. I especially recommend a place called "Thinker Coffee Book Gallery". There you can eat, drink, listen to music and take a book from the shelf. This is a coffee shop with a unique style, both in design and display.
If you want to buy books, then you can go to the "Zhongshuge", which is really an ocean of books. No matter where you look, you can find all kinds of books and periodicals here. The design of the bookstore is also very individual, and it is known as "the most beautiful bookstore in Shanghai". Many tourists come here every day, not to read or buy books, but to take pictures.
The town is also a paradise for eating goods. Every restaurant here has its own unique style. There are local restaurants in China, Ningbo, Guangdong and Taiwan Province. In terms of western food, there are Spanish restaurants, Italian restaurants and English food streets. There are also Japanese dishes for you to choose from.
The Star Theater in the Town Cultural and Creative Park is designed with the theme of "Bright Starry Sky", with the brand positioning of "artistry, creativity and professionalism", and integrates Chinese and foreign artistic cultures to create a fashionable and high-end cultural and artistic platform. The theater can accommodate 240 spectators and has a professional stage, lighting and sound system. It is also equipped with digital film projection equipment. Theaters often hold various artistic and cultural activities, such as plays, dances, concerts, cultural forums and film salons. If time permits, you can feel it if you are interested.
