Beijing has always been a city of contrasts, where ancient traditions meet modern innovations. And now, there’s a new addition to the mix that is sure to delight both locals and tourists alike – The Box.
Located in the heart of Chaoyang District, The Box is an innovative concept that combines three different elements into one incredible space. First up, there’s the skatepark – a world-class facility that caters to skaters of all levels. With ramps, rails, and bowls aplenty, this is the perfect place to hone your skills or just watch some adrenaline-fueled action.
But it doesn’t stop at skateboarding – The Box also boasts an NBA Hoop park where you can shoot hoops with your friends or join in on pickup games. And if you need a break from all the physical activity, head over to the shopping center for some retail therapy.
The Hoop Park has a variety of prices for different times and even has permanent membership cards. The Hoop Park is currently going through its final stage of construction and will be open from Monday to Sunday from 10 am to 10 pm costing RMB 25 per person. From 10 to 4 pm for half-court and full-court Monday to Friday the cost is RMB 300 and RMB 600 and after 4 pm it is 400 for half-court and RMB 800 for full-court. The same RMB 400 and RMB 800 pricing is followed on the weekends all day from 10 am to 10 pm. Moreover, the skatepark is free for all passionate skaters in Beijing.
Spread across multiple floors, The Box offers everything from high-end fashion boutiques to quirky independent stores selling unique souvenirs. You’ll find something for everyone here – whether you’re looking for designer labels or local artisanal products.
Coffee lovers will be delighted to know that there’s a hip and trendy café located within the complex called “Grid Coffee”. Whether you’re in need of a caffeine fix before hitting the skatepark or looking for a cozy spot to catch up with friends over lattes, Grid Coffee has got you covered. With its sleek industrial design and carefully crafted brews, this café is quickly becoming a favorite among locals and visitors alike. So next time you’re at The Box, make sure to stop by Grid Coffee for some delicious coffee and good vibes!
