The hugely popular Chiikawa franchise has officially arrived in Shenzhen. Coastal City in Nanshan has welcomed the city’s first Chiikawa flagship store, alongside the first Chiikawa-themed exhibition in South China.
The adorable installations have been described online as “cyber ibuprofen” for their mood-lifting appeal. Whether you are visiting during the National Day holiday or simply looking for a weekend photo spot, the exhibition offers a light-hearted way to escape everyday stress.
Guangdong-Exclusive Kung Fu Theme
This exhibition takes a creative martial-arts approach, departing from Chiikawa’s usual soft and cuddly aesthetic. Chiikawa, Usagi and Hachiware appear in kung fu training outfits for the Guangdong-exclusive “Lingchun Fist Shadows” collection.
Immersive themed scenes are spread across different floors of the mall, with photo spots in a variety of styles. Every corner is designed to be highly photogenic.
