A handful of shopping malls in Shanghai have reopened their doors to the public as retailers around the city begin to make some cautious attempts to lure customers back to the offline scene.

Taikoo Li Qiantan, a lankmark retail complex located in the heart of the thriving Qiantan area on the east bank of the Huangpu River, officially resumed operations on Friday, more than 50 days after Shanghai hit the pause button to prevent the spread of COVID-19 with a citywide lockdown.

The 50-50 joint venture project between Swire Properties and Shanghai Lujiazui Group, which was officially unveiled last September, has nearly 40 of its 250 shops, including over 30 F&B outlets and six luxury and contemporary fashion labels, resuming business under strict pandemic-control measures.
