Wudaokou almost feels like a playground for Chinese and Korean students. It is close to a large number of higher education institutions and is frequented by many foreign students.
Surrounded by Tsinghua University, Peking University, Beijing University of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Beijing Language and Culture University, China University of Petroleum, China University of Mining & Technology, China University of Geosciences, University of Science & Technology Beijing and New Oriental School it is a great place for sightseeing and discovering educational seminars.
Wudaokou is the “playground” for numerous students and a little global village where people from over one hundred countries gather. At eight or nine o’clock in the evening, several shops begin to close, but for shops located at Wudaokou, it is heir busiest hour.
Leatherwear shops, costume shops
and toys shops, such as Shicaotang, Ayou, Suren, Hongying and Wisdom,
unexceptionally set their closing time at 10:30 in the evening or even later.
Visitors there include lovely students who tighten their belts to buy books at
the old bookstalls, rock and roll singers who shuttle back and forth between
different bars with a guitar on the back, tall Americans who ride an old-typed
bicycle with 28 inches wheels and practice such Chinese expressions as “Taoyan”
(which means annoying) and “Daomei”(which means bad luck), foreign students from
Japan and Korea who take the lead to dye their hairs into green and grey colors
and pro-Korean teenagers and Bosozoku fighters as well. Supplement – most
popular in supermarket Gourmet, fashion costumes, distinctive Korean bars and
shopping malls could be seen in Wudaokou area, but there is no supermarket.
Otherwise, it was really a sound and perfect business circle.With
the emergence of Lotus Supermarket and Jiamao Shopping Center, Wudaokou is
updated as a mature business circle rather than a fashionable place only for
students. Surrounded by numerous universities and colleges, Wudaokou thrills the
students with the emergence of Lotus Supermarket, which later has become a
shopping destination within this area.
