Biggest mall, but no pics or good information!!  Gautam  Discuss 04:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Parking

 * Although South China Mall is the world's largest mall, its parking area isn't as big as the West Edmonton Mall's 20,000-parking slot capacity. The mall only provides 10,000 car parking slots for its customers, which is still plentiful for the parking of cars, buses, and baby strollers. It's a joke to compare the biggest shopping malls by terms of parking area.Things go funny when people try to compare the tallest building by terms of numbers of toilets.Lol--Ksyrie 08:15, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see your point. The text points out a paradox - that even though the mall has significantly more retail space (and two and one-half times the number of businesses that the West Edmonton Mall has), it has only half the number of parking spaces (and the article implies that the lower number is more than sufficient for its clientèle). I fail to see any analogy that is being drawn regarding the number of floors a building has and the number of toilets it contains. 147.70.242.40 16:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
 * That's different customers tranporational method,the majorties chinese customers reach the shopping mall by Public transport not by personal auto.--Ksyrie 02:00, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's a problem. The first Mc' Donnal's in Dongguan was closed because of "zero parking place", only five or six could park near by on side street.David290 (talk) 19:48, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Needs More Information
For those familiar with the mall, can you add the Chinese name of the mall (in characters and in pinyin)? Also, does this mall have a website? I would imagine that a mall of this size should.61.145.188.101 03:51, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

redirecting
This article is the site redirected to from "world's largest mall" it may be a good idea to change that to the dubai mall —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joh03649 (talk • contribs) 23:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I disagree, because it's not. There seems to be precedent for using gross leasable area to rate the size, which wouldn't even put Dubai mall in the top 5.92.238.128.101 (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

South China Mall v. New South China Mall
In October 2009, this article was moved from South China Mall to New South China Mall. I am having trouble verifying that change and when it occurred-- the citation given is to a chinese language article for which the google translation isn't too helpful on this point. This article, however, may help, if anyone can confirm? It is a Sept 20, 2007 article in Chinese that seems to announce the change? Or is just announcing new initiatives at the mall--Milowent (talk) 20:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

According to the atticle given, it was the day before 2007-09-20 （从昨天起，）, so it should be 2007-09-19 when the name was changed.David290 (talk) 19:30, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

In addition, "新华南MALL·生活城" is literaly "New South China Mall, Living City". David290 (talk)

Response to photo
I live exactly near this shopping mall, and I can take some photo later today.

But saddly there's problem in uploading due to GFW.

Happy Chinese New Year!David290 (talk) 19:41, 12 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Some new photos would be AMAZING. I don't know what you mean by "GFW", though.--Milowent (talk) 19:52, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Criticism on parking and service

Metric System
Please note that Wikipedia policy is to use the SI system first then a local customary units next, this means feet and inches come last unless the article is pertinent to a country that still uses such as system such as the USA. China is a metric country and so please ensure that this applies here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dawei san (talk • contribs) 01:23, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Why it is vacant?
Why the New South China Mall has been 99% vacant since its 2005 opening as very few merchants have ever signed up.118.123.200.135 (talk) 04:29, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

This needs rewriting...
The Chinese version of this page says it already has 1,500 shops. The English page List of the world's largest shopping malls also states its vacancy has fallen to 37% (that is, there are at least 1,300 shops). I feel there's some need to rewrite this article since the terrible vacancy is no longer the only feature of this mall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahyangyi (talk • contribs) 19:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Update needed
Acccording to this CNN report, the malls isn't that empty anymore. Maybe perhaps there is anyone who can provide the latest pics. 112.198.83.223 (talk) 07:32, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Changed the wording a little bit. There seems to be a little more business. But the mall is far from fully leased. It still has significant vacancy, and the cited CNN article states this. --209.117.164.134 (talk) 21:37, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Removed outdated tag from April, 2015. The major news items are: 1) the mall has a few more tenants. 2) It is getting another makeover. Both of those items are now included. Aside from those two things the situation hasn't changed much. Since as far as I can see all this news came from one CNN article including it at all seems dubious. But it is citable from a major news organization. --209.117.164.134 (talk) 16:30, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
