As a cornerstone in China's commercial management field, the development of Xing Sheng Commercial has always attracted attention from the industry. The Xinghe COCO Park brand, which has been deeply cultivated in Shenzhen for over 20 years, has achieved remarkable results in exploring and creating youthful energy. Among them, Fujian's first Xinghe COCO Park amplifies the two key themes of relaxation and sports, turning the project into a destination where young people seek 'energetic relaxation.'
