It's a giant mall and conference center right? It might have an arcade. You could do a search on YouTube for a tour video. But it will probably have all Chinese made machines and games. Not sure if that's something you are OK with.
The Chinese arcade industry has been trying to compete against Japan and America for several years and pushing their machines.


However, the Chinese arcade industry have been cloning their competitors' designs without much innovation or making their own style. China copied Taito's Vewlix arcade cabinet which is very popular in Japan and parts of America. Fans call it Chewlix (Chinese Vewlix). I've used both and the Chinese definitely cut corners. Can you tell which is which in the pic?

China has even been making bootleg Astro City and retro candy cabinets. Same issue with their racing game cabinets and shooting game cabinets. They are clones of Sega/Namco/Raw Thrills designs.

I will say though, China is very good at making replacement parts and refurbishing old machines. Some companies do great jobs repair and fixing old machines from the 80s and 90s. I'm just disappointed their industry hasnt tried to be more original in their designs.
