Retail and Business Districts in Hangzhou

Hangzhou’s core retail districts and business areas include:

• Hubin shopping district
• Wulin shopping district
• Hangzhou Tower
• MixC Hangzhou
• Qianjiang New City
• Future Sci-Tech City

Security Considerations in Hangzhou

The Hubin shopping district sits right next to the West Lake scenic area. Its streets are open, tourists and shoppers mix closely, and pedestrian streets are crowded on holidays, so street-front stores must cover entrance order, queue guidance and watch over high-value display areas. For brand stores inside large malls such as Hangzhou Tower and MixC, post arrangements must also follow the mall property’s unified management rules and opening hours.

The West Lake scenic area receives large numbers of domestic and international visitors in spring, during the National Day Golden Week and over the Spring Festival, and roads around the lake are sometimes subject to traffic controls, so cross-district travel and staff deployment need extra time. Hangzhou enters the plum rain season around June, summers are hot and typhoons can occur, so outdoor and entrance posts need rain, heat and emergency adjustment arrangements.

Office buildings in Future Sci-Tech City and Qianjiang New City generally combine visitor preregistration, turnstile access and front desk verification, and corporate campuses have high standards for receiving visiting clients, media and investor events. Officers mainly speak Mandarin, and posts involving foreign visitors and international conferences are best staffed with officers who can communicate in English.

Common Questions

How Are Security Arrangements for Stores Around West Lake Adjusted During Peak Holiday Periods?

The number of posts, shifts and entrance management methods during holidays can be set in advance in the Post Orders and adjusted in line with the traffic and crowd measures issued by the scenic area and district management authorities. The specific plan is confirmed in writing after the site assessment and discussion with store management.

How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?

Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a premium rate.
