Weekend is the most awaited part of our stay in BEIJING. It is not only having that needed break from classroom lectures and discussions from Monday to Friday, but also the opportunity to explore numerous TOURIST SPOTS in the capital city of China.
Although the territorial dispute between CHINA and PHILIPPINES still remains unresolved, it doesn't affect my stay and study in BEIJING. I am making the most of this great opportunity, not only to learn the lessons inside the classroom but most importantly to learn from the different systems from other countries. I have classmates from 27 other countries including China in the English Class. Aside from that, there are also participants from Russian and French speaking countries where we have interactions at the dining hall and during educational tours.
With my continued research of the PLACES to visit, I found another perfect place worthy to be explored and be shared.
It is called "THE PLACE". It is actually a MALL, together with other malls in its surroundings.
The most interesting thing about this mall is the big outdoor led screen.
The LED screen is hanged situated between two towering malls. It is considered the LARGEST OUTDOOR LED SCREEN in ASIA at 250 meters long and 30 meters wide. The screen displays various entertaining videos, just like as if you are under a huge aquarium or watching movie. The best time to visit the place is from late afternoon until 10pm. Within the area, there are many other malls, markets, restaurants, and tourist spots that you can visit and enjoy.
I happened to visit "THE PLACE" during the Christmas in 2015. Although, Christmas is not widely celebrated in China, unlike, the celebration that we have in the Philippines.
The spirit of Christmas can still be felt when you are exploring the area since there are numerous Christmas decors including a giant Christmas tree.
How to go to the PLACE?
Use SUBWAY line 10, alight at JINTAIXIZHAO station, then exit at A, then walk WEST for about 15 minutes. It is located along GUANGHUA ROAD.
