Zhengzhou is a far cry from an international center like Beijing or Shanghai, but you wouldn't know it by the malls. From international popular brands like H&M and Uniqlo to mid-range Chinese goods, the malls of Zhengzhou have it all. With three shopping districts and four major shopping destinations, you can find just about anything in one of these shopping centers.
3) International Trade Center 360
For high end buys, check out Dennis Department Store on People's Road. The eight-story department store carries a wide range of luxury and every-day items. The first floor is home to an array of international cosmetics and jewelry. The second floor is the place to buy shoes as well as boutique accessories. It's also home to a Hong-Kong style tea café. Floor three stocks women's clothing and accessories; the fourth floor is dedicated to children's clothing; fifth is menswear and the sixth carries household goods like bedding and kitchen trinkets. There is a medium-sized supermarket in the basement of the department store; but it's not up to par with Wal-Mart and Carrefour.

Zhengzhou's Parkson Shopping Center is over 50,000 meters of shopping fun. The best part about Parkson's is that they carry over 100 brands and have an especially large selection in the women's fashion department. The mall has lots of weekly sales and discounts that are usually worth checking out. There is a Starbucks on the second floor and a Haagen Daz so that shoppers can stop in for a cold treat. The sixth floor houses a Hengdian movie theatre and there is a gym and a pizza place in the mall as well.

3) International Trade Center 360
A classic and bright shopping mall, International Trade Center 360 is a stylish spot with many great shops. The inside of the mall is vast so that it never feels too crowded, even though the shopping center is a popular place for the young crowd to hang out. The mall features popular stores like H&M, C&A, UR and Uniqlo and international eateries including Starbucks, Haagen Daz, KFC, Dairy Queen and other dessert and snack spots.

Huacai City Mall is like International Trade Center 360, but a little less fancy and a little cheaper. Though not as luxurious, the shopping center is a trend-setter: the first Zara in Zhengzhou was opened in Huacai City. There is an H&M and a C&A on the first floor along with a Wal-Mart. Shoppers can grab a bite to eat a DQ, Ajisen, Papa John's or numerous other restaurants (including pizza and sushi).
