Xi’an MixC announced its opening with a grand opening ceremony in the presence of government officials, leaders of China Resources Group, CR Land, and CR MixC Lifestyle, as well as architect and designer Thomas Heatherwick. Guests from partners, media and local citizens gathered at the unique new space to witness the grand opening moment and visit the Xi’an Tree, the core landmark of the project.

Xi’an MixC Shopping Mall is a brand new commercial project created by CR Land and CR MixC Lifestyle for Xi’an. This high-end shopping mall integrates traditional culture and modern design, and is combined with Park Hyatt, top office buildings and a collection of apartments to form a future CBD concept complex. The new mall aims to bring more surprises and vitality to Xi’an, creating a new identity for the city.

This mall opened on December 9th at the end of 2024, and features approximately 200 stores, including regional and city-level shops, as well as high-profile concept stores, which together make up nearly 50% of its total offerings. These stores cover luxury fashion, international trends, fine dining, lifestyle, outdoor sports, and jewelry, among others. In terms of dining options, almost 80% of the restaurants have Michelin ratings, are recognized by the Black Pearl list, or are flagship-level establishments, providing residents with a brand-new shopping and dining experience.

With a sprawling 565,000-square-meter area, the complex includes four 150-meter-high buildings and a total commercial floor area of 155,000 square meters. Xi’an MixC is expecting to become a quality lifestyle destination in Xi’an that integrates fashion, art, and culture. It is located at the intersection of Yanzhan Road and South Chang’an Road in the Yanta District in Xi’an, and connected with Metro lines 2 and 8, providing convenient travel experiences for citizens.

As a tribute to the China Resources Land’s 30th anniversary and MixC Commercial’s 20th anniversary, XIi’an MixC collaborated with renowned architect Thomas Heatherwick (Founder and Design Director of Heatherwick Studio) to reinterpret traditional Oriental Garden architecture using contemporary architectural language. Inspired by the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree at the ancient Guanyin Temple in Xi’an, the super city landmark Xi’an Tree has been created to bring a new urban identity for Xi’an city. The Xi’an Tree is 57 meters tall and features 60 giant leaf-shaped extensions. In the future, special performances will also be held around the Xi’an Tree during festivals or significant events.

The world generates at least 3.5 MILLION TONS of PLASTIC & other SOLID WASTE in just ONE day. 

By 2050, there will be more plastic in our oceans than fish, and around 60% of our forests will have disappeared. 

Sounds like too big of a problem right? 

Well the thing is, a bunch of small choices over the course of time created this problem, and it’s going to take a bunch of small choices [from people like YOU] over the course of time to fix it. 

The good news is…

That’s why we started Boomí — to make sustainable choices easily accessible and affordable so that everyone can make SMALL CHOICES that lead to a BIG IMPACT. 

Boomí is an e-commerce platform home to various local, purpose driven businesses covering all of your ZERO-WASTE needs, information, and services. 

Our mission is to make zero-waste living SIMPLE and to EMPOWER PEOPLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE everyday. 

As part of our BOOMÍ FOREST INITIATIVE, we are committed to donating 8.8% of our total revenue to planting trees in Inner Mongolia.

It’s simple, we produce everyday household products that reduce your carbon footprint, and on top of that, every time you make a purchase, it goes towards planting more trees! 

Oh, and did we mention that by purchasing reusable products, you’re not only helping to save the planet, but you’ll actually be saving money yourself? That’s what we like to call a win-win. 

Here are some of our favorite, 

most loved products: 

Seriously, plastic bags are so last decade!

If you have been living in China for a while, you will notice that avoiding plastic bags is quite difficult. Nearly everything is packed with plastic, some companies are even packaging single grapes and bananas with plastic. 

Don’t be like them, be unique!

*How to say “I don’t’ need a bag”

“我不需要袋子” (Wǒ bù xūyào dàizi)

Each set includes 9 Bags

– 1x Net Bag

– 2x Small Bulk Bags (25cm x 30cm)

– 2x Medium Bulk Bags (30cm x 35cm)

– 2x Small Produce Bags (25cm x 30cm)

– 2x Medium Produce Bags (30cm x 35cm)

*Made from 100% Organic Cotton

YOUR IMPACT

Every year, 1 trillion single-use plastic bags are used each year, which is around 2 million each minute. It is time for us to make a change in our lives and opt-out for more reusable solutions. 

3000 Tons of Paper Towels!

That’s how many end up in landfills in the US each year. 

Meet our solution, the Swedish Dishcloth:

What does it replace?

– Paper towels & sponges

– One Boomi Dishcloth on average = 17 rolls of paper towels

Other fun facts:

– It can absorb 20x its own weight

– It is much more hygienic than a regular sponge (Did you know, a used sponge is nearly as dirty as a public toilet seat?)

– It air dries quickly, therefore it does not foster bacteria or smell

– Can be used with water, soap, sprays, cleaners, etc.

– Cleans countertops, granite, stainless steel, and glass

– Cleans without leaving marks and scratches

YOUR IMPACT

On average, we use around 80 paper towels each year and 12 sponges. We can replace all of that waste with just 6 dishcloths. 

Landfills.

That’s where all of our make-up pads go. If you use 1 cotton pad in the morning and one at night, you are using a total of 730 pads each year. 

There is another way!

Our pads can be used with any makeup remover or cleaner, and the best part?

They can be washed by hand or in the laundry machine, dried, and reused!

1 Pack Comes with 7 Pieces

Made of 65% bamboo fiber & 35% organic cotton. 

This ratio ensures your pads are still soft but environmentally more conscious. 

YOUR IMPACT

Although cotton only takes 1-5 months to biodegrade, compared to plastic’s 450-1000 years. By switching out to a reusable pad, you will ensure at least 43,200 single-use pads do not pile up in our landfill!

Your 100% Zero-Waste Hair Routine

Our Shampoo & Conditioner bars are made from the highest quality of ingredients and sulfate, paraben, and silicone-free. 

You can choose from the following delicious scents: 

Deep Ocean — for extra volume

Lavandula — fights hairloss & keeps your scalp healthy 

Wild Ginger — nourishing and prevents dandruff

Perfect for travel! 

No liquids mean no hassle when going through airport security.

Eco-friendly packaging:

– Comes with an aluminum tin, or completely naked! (Paper Packaging)

– Paraben-free, sulfate-free and silicon-free.

– Not tested on animals, cruelty-free and vegan. 

How to use:

Hold this bar under the warm water for a few moments then work between your hands to release this conditioner from its solid form. When it’s reached a creamy consistency, massage directly onto wet locks, adding as much product as you desire. 

YOUR IMPACT

On average, we use 11 bottles of shower gel and 20 bottles of shampoo/conditioner each year. So if you live to 80 years, that’s a total of 1600 PLASTIC SHAMPOO/CONDITIONER BOTTLES. 

These plastic bottles will continue to fill up our landfills and our oceans if we do not do something about it.

Additionally, is your shampoo a foreign brand you purchased here in China? 

If yes, then according to Chinese law, they are mandated to go through animal testing! But don’t worry, we are locally produced here in China, so our shampoo bars are cruelty-free and vegan.

*Btw, one conditioner bar is equivalent to three medium-sized liquid conditioenr bottles. We are saving the planet, your health, and your wallet!

Remember, any PURCHASE you make means WE PLANT MORE TREES! 

As part of our partnership with Roots & Shoots for the Boomí Forest Initiative, we’ll donate 8.8.% of all revenue to planting trees in Inner Mongolia. 

You can also donate directly to the Boomí Forest Initiative. If you purchase a tree for just 25 RMB, we’ll send you a certificate with your name on it! 

[This also makes a great gift!]
