(Jing Daily) - As the gigantic Shanghai Disney Resort gets ready to launch on June 16, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, and Toy Story-themed attractions and Disney’s largest castle will likely draw many children, but the major attraction for Chinese parents will be nearby—luxury outlet shopping. Located in the new 24.7-square-kilometer Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone (SITRZ) across from the Disney resort at the end of the site’s manmade “Wishing Star Lake” is the second mainland China location for upscale European outlet company Value Retail, which is slated to open ahead of Disney on May 19. At 55,000 square meters with 140 boutiques, Shanghai Village will feature elaborate Art Deco-style architecture modeled after buildings in Paris, Milan, New York, Vienna, and Shanghai. The new location aims to be a destination in itself rather than an afterthought to the theme park thanks to the importance Chinese travelers place on shopping during their trips.
