December 13, 2006 - the shopping mall – beautiful decor

beautiful decor

No doubt, the whole world is full of the Christmas season atmosphere, real world or the unreal world. I mean our blogs. ;)   After the time walks into Dec., I already saw lots of beautiful / funny / creative / traditional / ** decorations about Christmas theme. And I just try to catch your guys steps today.

This is the inside view of the Grand Gateway(港汇广场) which is a very big and mainly shopping mall in the west side of the city. Walking into the mall, lots of people can be seen there even on Wed. They decorated the whole building, each floor, each shop, even each counter! I even forgot to take photos when enjoying seeing the beautiful decor. This shopping mall is built and managed by HongKong businessmen. That’s why we call it “gang3 hui4 guang3 chang3″(港汇广场), in literally, gang3=port, but in Chinese, it is the same Chinese character as the character “kong”(港) in the name of 香港(hong kong).(oops, so difficult to explain, ;) hope i said it clearly.If you don’t understand, just ask, i will try to explain more.) And hui4=collection, so,you could find lots of shops. Guang3 chang3=plaza.

Actually here are some very successful business projects which are all managed by Hongkong businessmen, another very famous commercial site(also a very famous tourist site)–Xin2 Tian2 Di4 (新天地) is also built by the Hongkong businesmen. Maybe you know that place already??  When I try to learn more about the city, I fount its very interesting that Shanghai and Hongkong have some kind of similarity: society=>immigrant; culture=>mixed:west+east; people=>floating; location=>seaside … Oh,gosh,I digress again and so far. 

Have a nice day though at work!! ;) Here you can see the big photo.
