Aeon Mall Ha Long, the 10th shopping mall developed by Aeon Mall Vietnam Co., Ltd., was officially inaugurated in Quang Ninh Province on November 14, marking a new milestone in the expansion of its retail network in Vietnam.
Located at 288 Cai Lan Street, Bai Chay Ward, Aeon Mall Ha Long is built on a area of nearly 91,000 square meters, with a total floor area of about 130,000 square meters and a leasable area of approximately 54,000 square meters.
The mall features four above-ground floors and one basement level. It houses around 140 specialized stores, with over 60 percent of the brands making their debut in Quang Ninh. This introduction is expected to bring a new look to the local retail market and diversify consumer choices.
Aeon Mall Ha Long's design draws inspiration from local landscapes and culture, based on the architectural concept "SPARKLE ROCK! NEW LAND", a journey to a new land where green hues blend with the majestic beauty of Ha Long Bay's myriad islands.
The central area includes a Sunken Garden spanning approximately 600 square meters, designed as a plaza with a stage for local music, dance, and performance programs. Adjacent to the Sunken Garden is a central hall on the first floor, approximately 450 square meters in size, designated for seasonal events, activities, and digital content showcasing local culture and tourism resources.
On the third and fourth floors, the Forest Market is developed as an indoor park, utilizing a multi-story design and large windows to maximize natural light. This, combined with greenery, creates a relaxing space within the mall. Children's play areas, as well as spaces for yoga, dance, cinema, and music performances, cater to the recreational needs of various generations. A library space and seasonal markets are also planned to offer learning, exploration, and experiential activities for families.
Aeon Mall Ha Long brings together numerous renowned domestic and international brands. In fashion, it features Uniqlo and Muji, while sports brands include Wilson, Lacoste, and Foot Locker. Japanese eyewear brands such as Jins and Megane Prince are also present. The food and beverage areas on the third and fourth floors offer a combination of Vietnamese dishes and international selections.
A highlight of the culinary space is the "HO HO Hall" Food Hall, approximately 580 square meters on the third floor, developed with the concept of combining cuisine and entertainment.
In the entertainment sector, an entertainment zone spanning approximately 8,300 square meters offers diverse options suitable for various age groups. The fourth floor features seven standard pickleball courts for practice and community tournaments, along with Vietnam Roller Rink for indoor roller skating. Brands like Kidzoona Safari & Molly Fantasy, Timezone, and Gigo provide a variety of entertainment forms for children and young customers.
Alongside creating commercial and community spaces, Aeon Mall Ha Long emphasizes solutions for efficient resource utilization, energy saving, and environmental impact reduction.
The project has received the Lotus Gold green building certification from the Vietnam Green Building Council. Green solutions are integrated into the design and operation, ranging from green landscaping and natural light utilization to solar power, LED lighting systems, and energy-saving equipment.
The solar power system on the building's roof and outdoor parking lot roof is projected to supply approximately 2,865 MWh annually, meeting about 11 percent of the mall's electricity demand and reducing approximately 1,800 tons of CO2 per year, according to project calculations.
Mr. Le Van Anh, Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh Provincial People's Committee, stated that the project contributes to completing modern commercial infrastructure, adding shopping, entertainment, and recreational spaces linked to Ha Long-Bai Chay tourism. It also expands distribution channels for Vietnamese goods and local OCOP products, creating more jobs for workers.
"The official operation of Aeon Mall Ha Long is an important highlight, with practical significance for the province's commercial and service development," Mr. Anh remarked.
Mr. Ishikawa Isamu, Deputy Ambassador of Japan to Vietnam, commented: "Aeon Mall Ha Long is a symbolic project representing Aeon Group's contributions to Vietnam to date."
The Deputy Ambassador expressed confidence that Aeon Mall Ha Long will become a reliable partner in Quang Ninh's development, contributing to a new lifestyle, enhancing the urban appeal, and creating more employment opportunities for local residents.
