Elements Shopping Mall 圓方
Elements Shopping Centre offers mostly luxury goods, with white and beige marble floors, light-colored decorations, and many high-end brand boutiques. There are sports goods stores, home appliances, restaurants, coffee shops, and an ice skating rink on the underground floor, next to a cinema and a fast food chain restaurant.
Elements Shopping Mall
Exiting from Austin Station, you can go directly to Elements Shopping Mall. You may find it on the map that it is separate from ICC Mall, yet it is connected by a pedestrian bridge and only takes about ten minutes to walk.
With white and beige marble floors, light-colored decorations, and many high-end brand boutiques, Elements Shopping Mall offers mostly expensive branded goods. It looks like another IFC in the Kowloon side. It is also connected to ICC, and you can see many office workers in suits along the way.
The atmosphere is rather formal and serious, but unexpectedly you’ll find an ice skating rink on the underground floor, next to a cinema and a fast food chain restaurant, which is a perfect opportunity to take a break from your busy schedule.
This area is divided into five zones whose names are the five elements (fire, water, wood, metal, and wood). You can reach Elements directly from Kowloon Station. The closer you get close to ICC, the more luxurious brands you would find. The other side connecting to Kowloon Station is another story because the stores are more common for the public. The closer you get to the Kowloon Station, the more popular brands you can see. There are sports goods stores, home appliances, restaurants, coffee shops, etc.
The Five Elements Concept
The Five Elements is a philosophical concept from ancient China. Fire and water are essential for food and drink, wood and metal are for manufacturing, and earth is the element that creates all things. These five elements make the universe run.
Design by Benoy Architects
Benoy, which is an international architecture firm, made the design; yet, the Shopping Mall’s directions are not related to the Five Elements. They are just the divisions of the area (with 85,000 square meters).
With connections to Kowloon Station and Austin Station, plus the high-speed rail station, you will see many tourists from the south, dragging their luggage to visit Elements Mall.
