Visitors to the bustling Chinese city of Chengdu should make it a point to explore the appealing Chunxilu, a vibrant commercial thoroughfare which attracts numerous visitors from the city itself and beyond. This boulevard is considered to be one of the city’s most popular shopping venues and it is often said that a visit to Chengdu is incomplete without exploring Chunxilu. If you plan to visit the city there are plenty of accommodation options available like the Millennium Chengdu. This attractive Chengdu hotel offers comfortable interiors and gracious hospitality.

It is estimated that up to a million people visit this splendid shopping district on weekends during the summer season. This is not surprising with the amazing opportunities on offer which include glamorous boutiques and malls for the fashion seeker as well as a host of other merchandise.

Today this area has been expanded and developed into an expansive commercial district developed around a number of attractive plazas which extend over several urban blocks. Here the visitor will find many kinds of attractions such as prestigious designer stores in classy settings, along with less glamorous bargain stores offering lower end merchandise. In addition to a myriad of diverse stores and boutiques you will find small parks, bars, restaurants and other attractions in this neighbourhood.

Chunxilu is particularly renowned for international branded consumer goods, but you will also find an array of Chinese equivalents if you wish to save money. The area known as Yanshikou is the magnet for local shoppers, with innumerable young females frequenting the area in search of advantageous deals on fashionable attire and accessories. If you are interested in mobile phones and related technologies the place to go is Taisheng Lu where you will find the latest gadgets and innovations at very attractive prices. Adjoining this area you will find Tianfu Plaza with its well-known statue of Mao. Teenagers will be enthralled by Champagne Plaza where a selection of skater and hip-hop merchandise may be found.
There is no doubt that almost any shopper will find attractive merchandise to interest them here, irrespective of age or preferences. If your shopping excursions tire you, take the opportunity to enjoy a snack or an ice cream at one of the innumerable food outlets.
