Many girls like to go shopping, especially with their girlfriends. Two girls go shopping and chat, talking and laughing, it’s such great fun! At a manicure salon, you can’t help but take your girlfriend together to choose new colours for nails. Passing by a clothing shop, you must step in to pick and choose, and take one or two of them. When feeling tired, you can also go for a spa. How comfortable it is! There’s no happier thing than being an exquisite “piggy” girl with your girlfriends. Why missing the weekly girlfriend time?

Xinhua Bookstore (Asian Games Village Branch)

Living near the Asian Games Village is like living in a cultural desert, as there is no bookstore or library nearby. While recently, we found that there is a Xinhua Bookstore on the Fifth Avenue!

Xinhua Bookstore is the most frequently-visit bookstore for post-90s. At that time, students usually buy their extracurricular exercises and readings in Xinhua Bookstore. At the beginning of each semester, parents would take their children to Xinhua Bookstore to choose a few extracurricular exercises. Parents today are just the same as them! Xinhua Bookstore is a childhood memory of our 90s generation!

This store is so small compared to those Internet celebrity bookstores as large as thousands of square meters, and its signboard is not obvious. People might not even notice it after having passed by Fifth Avenue for so many times. The shop is on the third floor. There are clothes selling on the second floor and beverage shops on the first floor, so the bookstore is really hidden in the busy city!

There are more teaching supplementary books in the store, from kindergarten to elementary school, junior and high school. Extracurricular learning materials are available for all grades. It has such a complete collection, and really deserves to be called a famous brand! This is probably the favourite place for parents but hated by students most! Many parents will hold a stack of well-selected exercise books in their hands, and even people passing by would feel trembling just looking at them.

In the children’s literature area, many parents hold books and read them softly to their children. Their tender voice is never lack of emotion. When a father reads to his daughter a story between a big bad wolf and a little white rabbit, his voice also changes accordingly, and that isn’t easy!

For people who have graduated, those exercise books must be boring. However you will feel surprised when you find imported foreign-language novels in a small corner of the bookstore. The books do not occupy very large space, and you can put them in your pocket. These books are printed with slightly yellow paper, which is not harmful for your eyes. The paper is thin, and when holding a book of several hundred pages, you won’t feel too much weight. Original English books such as Pride and Prejudice and The Little Prince are still very suitable for students to read. All in all, the teaching exercise collections here are quite complete, which basically meet the needs of parents.

There is an open space in the literature area, like a large tatami, for readers to read. An interesting phenomenon is that when children are running around and playing, adults tend to sit down and read instead. Perhaps these children’s books touch the innocent part hidden in adults’ hearts; or perhaps every adult is a child who is forced to grow up.

Come on weekends, choose a book and spend a quiet afternoon here!
