In September, Italian Deputy Prime Minister, Luigi Di Maio, visited Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu and the Daci Temple, after attending the opening ceremony of the 17th Western China International Fair. The minister was received by Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu’s General Manager, Molly Wu, who explained the project design and provided development updates. The management team also gave Mr Di Maio a tour around the open-plan mall, with a special briefing on the operations and performance of the Italian brands with retail outlets in the lanes. Swire Properties holds a 50% interest in the retail-led, mixed-use development, which includes the boutique hotel, The Temple House.
