Where to play-Shopping in Super Brand Mall and Bingjiang Road

(Oriental Pearl Tower and Lujiazui)

Here is one of the landmarks in Shanghai-Oriental Pearl Tower. It is the fifth highest building in the world. The tower is located in a business district called Lujuazui. This is a golden area of Shanghai, even in China because Lujiazui will be built into a financial and trade center of China. In such a business district, across frpm the Oriental Pearl Tower, abet to Huangpu River, is the “Super Brand Mall”. It is the biggest shopping mall in mainland China and the 8th biggest shopping mall in Asia. It has 13 floors with 241,000 square meters of each floor and more than a thousand of big brands. In some floors, two hundred thousand square meters in the mall are the places for international famous brands and forty thousand square meters are the jewelry arcades. In the other floors, Super Brand Mall also has entertainment centers, fitness centers, bookstores, a lot of restaurants, tea houses, cafes, and cinemas. It is much more an entertainment center than just a mall.

(Bingjiang Road)

I like the restaurants in Super Brand Mall very much beacuse if you get a seat close to the window, you can have a great view of Huangpu River and the Bund. Enjoying a good view while you are eating is so fantastic. If you want to get closer to the Huangpu River, you can walk out of Super Brand Mall and go to Bingjiang Road which is just next to Super Brand Mall. Actually, Bingjiang Road is long river bank instead of a road. There are several cafés, restaurants, ice-cream stores and dessert stores on the bank. After a day of shopping in the mall, it will be a great enjoyment to sit on the bank, feeling the wind blow, see the great view of the Bund on the opposite of the river and have a cup of iced coffee or ice-cream.
