Shopping

Depending on your needs and budget, there are numerous places in which you can enjoy shopping. From the cheap dongmen outlet to the more expensive and posher coco park shopping center. Many youngsters choose to shop in wanxiangchen shopping center located in luohu district just opposite the famous diwang buiding. However, with shops like LV and GUCCI etc, the price is inevitably high. Visitors of wanxiangchen can enjoy more than just shopping, there is a large ice-ring situated at the top floor on which people can skate, apparently, the biggest closed-space ice ground within guangdong province.

Submitted by jaka widada on April 14, 2011 - 12:24.

Hello, good family friendly!
My name is Jaka from Indonesia.
I want to come to Shenzhen for a few days.
Over there, I want to be in a good family and friendly.
No problem with the room facilities provided to me to rent it.
Not using air conditioning, no problem!
The most important is the Internet network connection, either WiFi or ADSL.
Computer or Laptop and I'll provide his own.
My ultimate goal is a trip and learned to speak Mandarin in the family,
and want to hang out real simple with a family
and still maintain Chinese traditions and indigenous cultures.
Maybe later we can give each other and share life experiences.
I also have the ability to teach to talk to my mother tongue,
namely the Indonesian language.
Whether you are interested and willing to contact me?
I invite and wait for you through to...
my email at szgrega@yahoo.com
Thank you, fraternal greetings!
