golden mile
Explanation:
A "golden mile" is a stretch of a road where property prices are very high. In this particular case, it refers to an intersection ("shizi" of "shizilukou") of two main avenues in Beijing. I guess you could call it "golden intersection", but I think "golden mile" is a term better understood, at least by people that are into real estate.

“gold cross”


Explanation:
有两种译法,一种是gold cross,另一种是golden cross。两种译法都有人用。
可以加个引号:“gold cross”

“地带”可以不用译了。

个人意见,这块是金地,指黄金,我觉得应该用gold,而非golden。

参考一下已有用法:
