Sulifang Container Commercial Street: A Modern Commercial Street in the Countryside

Following national rural-development policy on pastoral complex projects, localities have actively responded, and pastoral-complex developments have launched across the country. Against that backdrop, Sulifang—a modern commercial street in the countryside—was born. Phase I of the Sulifang works has already taken shape, promoting a smooth blend of city and countryside while organically combining agriculture with leisure sightseeing.

Sulifang, Phase I of the Wusu City pastoral complex, sits at the junction of Bashisihu Township and the new urban district. Construction centers on shipping containers and, along a 1.4 km central axis, focuses on five function zones: a barbecue and coffee tasting area, a prefabricated dining area, a production-facility service base, a starlight night-market greenhouse, and an ornamental water system. The barbecue and coffee tasting area is a key Sulifang package: two zones made from 51 containers in 38 groups. Work began at the end of April and was scheduled for completion in early September.

1. Convenient transport

Sulifang faces the new town to the south, links the old-town traditional commercial district to the west, borders mature villages to the north, and abuts an industrial park to the east. Its location advantage is clear and connects the whole city. Roads crisscross the area; nearby hubs include Tacheng Airport, Shihezi Garden Airport, and the new coach station. Surrounding roads link tightly, so a smooth network makes travel easy—visitors can arrive conveniently and city crowds can gather here.

2. Policy support for a new normal—industry integration

Strong policy measures, clear local drive, and development tied to local character all create favorable conditions for Sulifang. With crop farming as the base industry and leisure tourism as the value-added industry, Sulifang in turn supports other projects and infrastructure upgrades—aiming for profitability, higher urban operating efficiency, and a better living environment.

At the same time, Sulifang merges and permeates industries, extends the pastoral-complex value chain, and stays market-oriented. Using rural production, living, and ecology as resources, it combines farm products with culture, leisure stays, and creative arts to raise modern agriculture's value and output, create quality farm goods, and expand local consumer and tourism markets.

Through mutual integration of primary, secondary, and tertiary industries, traditional and modern industries are grafted effectively. Around a spatial pattern of "two zones, one belt, multiple nodes," a single agricultural sector becomes a carrier of engaging modern leisure products, leading new consumption trends, opening new markets, and expanding new value space.

3. Xinjiang's first pastoral complex project

The pastoral-complex model is widely seen in the industry as an operable sample for rural revitalization. It has become a main national measure for revitalizing the countryside and is strongly promoted by policy.

As the first pastoral complex project in Tacheng Prefecture of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Sulifang offers a new pivot for Wusu's agricultural modernization and urban–rural integrated development, and an opportunity for more diversified local agriculture. Production, living, and ecology interact and develop together, comprehensively raising local agricultural comprehensive benefits and competitiveness, and opening a breakthrough for Wusu's transformation, upgrading, and innovative growth.

Sulifang's multi-party "development" approach—city and farmland built together—innovates urban–rural growth and accelerates industrial change, so farmers who take part in building the pastoral complex can also enjoy modern agricultural industry returns and asset-income growth.

On urban–rural interaction, Sulifang's pastoral scenery, countryside atmosphere, business formats, and circular agriculture model better meet Wusu urban residents' demand for eco-tourism and rural experience, letting production, living, and ecology develop in fusion.

4. Overall introduction to the Wusuli container commercial street

The Wusu City pastoral complex covers 3,098 mu. With Sulifang as the central axis, seven major function zones are planned—including strawberry planting, grape planting, and pick-and-view planting areas—bringing together upscale dining, leisure entertainment, learning and training, and more, so urban and rural residents can enjoy high-quality city life and relaxed countryside scenery. As Phase I of the pastoral complex, the Sulifang project investment is $6,944,444. Construction is now nearing completion.

The standout feature of the Wusuli pastoral commercial street is its container-themed commercial street—and a special form where farmland reaches into the city. Container commercial space is increasingly popular worldwide; it breaks traditional retail thinking and blends new spatial feel with artistic creativity. BOXPARK in the UK, Common Ground in Korea, and Downtown Container Park in the United States are commercial districts built from containers—community forms that gather culture, brands, and attitude.

Unlike BOXPARK, Common Ground, or Downtown Container Park, the Wusuli container commercial street is set into farmland in a linear layout, ringed by pastoral views. Shops are fully independent and front the street in a single line—practical and flexible, divisible or combinable. Each merchant can have an independent stall and a custom fit-out style for many business formats. Carefully crafted zones include a craft brewery district, a boutique market street, a viral check-in street, a food street, a coffee and arts zone, and a barbecue and bar street, gathering upscale dining, leisure entertainment, curated events, learning and training, beauty and fitness, and more.
