Customers are pictured at the Friendship Shopping Mall in Changning district, Shanghai, China, 15 May 2017. Changning District opened a pedestrian tunnel in Hongqiao area that connects L'Avenue, a shopping and office complex, with Friendship Shopping Mall on 9 May 2017. The tunnel is part of the district government's plan to become a "world-class central business district." The 43-meter-long tunnel beneath Xianxia Road is one of four pedestrian tunnels planned to connect 10 shopping malls and office buildings in the area ª by building an underground pedestrian system beneath the central business area. Two tunnels beneath Ziyun and Zunyi roads will be opened in June. The Ziyun Road Tunnel will link The Place commercial complex and the Tianshan Soho office building, while the Zunyi Road Tunnel will connect the Soho building and the Hongqiao Tiandu shopping complex. Construction will start soon on the fourth tunnel, also beneath Ziyun Road, which will connect The Place and L'Avenue.
