Invested in by the Hong Kong based Shui On Group and designed by an American architect called BenjaminWood (who also designed Shanghai Xintiandi), Xihu Tiandi is very different from Shanghai Xintiandi in style. Shanghai Xintiandi has a rich commercial ambience, which is a masterpiece of a combination of Western and Chinese architectural styles. Xihu Tiandi brings the mountain and water scenery of Hangzhou into full play, which has become a magnet for the urban trendsetters and petty bourgeoisies.
