Today was all about shopping. We started from Luohu Commercial City (LCC) to the busy area of Dongmen. When travelling in a group of 4, it's best to travel in a metered taxi. The traffic may be a head ache, but at least it's more comfortable and everyone's are sure to be together.
While we wait for Joey to show up, my parents went shopping to buy those traditional suction cup therapy thingy again. Now, did they buy another 3 or 4?! I can't seem to remember....
Ha, this is it: The 1st McDonald's restaurant ever opened in China located in the Dongmen area. This is a VERY busy area. People were coming in from all directions and the queues at McDonald's are VERY long.
We were just mesmerized by the huge number of people walking (rather pushing) around Dongmen. This is the first time that we saw crowds fighting to buy food from the various stalls in the pedestrian area.
At one point, we were desperate to get away from all this craziness so we stepped away from the streets and into a restaurant. Food never tasted so great!After our lunch, we explored Dongmen further and found ourselves inside the Fabric Market.
Great stuff can be found here! My mum really enjoyed this place and bought quite a lot of fabric. As for me, hmmm yes. I did buy some fabrics as well. They're so cheap man ie from as low as RM6 per meter for silk material (of course some bargaining is expected to get low prices).
A lot of people would normally just go to LCC for material. I think one could get better deal at Dongmen Fabric Market though. Furthermore, this fabric market somehow has a more relaxed atmosphere.
