China’s 'Little Kyoto' shut down after complaints of Japanese culture invasion
#2

Known as Tang Little Kyoto, the new site, located in Dalian City, Liaoning Province, is said to be the largest Japan-themed commercial complex in China. Set on a huge 630,000 square-meter plot, construction of the facility began in 2019 and is scheduled to be fully complete in 2024, at a cost of approximately 6 billion yuan.

However, on 21 August, when the first section of the complex was opened to the public, it immediately drew criticism from locals on the Internet, leading to a temporary closure of the facility from 30 August.

▼ Approximately 30 stores selling Japanese products, including Panasonic goods, were open for just over a week before the closure.
