Signs with a complete list of stores and a detailed map of the shopping center are placed near the entrance. Smaller versions of the signs with a generalized store list are located near the escalators to help visitors find the right floor.

Escalators, the center’s locations with most foot traffic, have numbers which make them easier to find on maps and in real life.
