00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:14,500
You've been working hard these two days. We are glad everything is settled. How about kicking back and relaxing tonight?
2
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:23,600
Good idea. Yesterday afternoon Maria and Lawrence took us to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower and we had a bird's-eye view of the city.
3
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,200
Yeah, you know, it’s our first time in Shanghai and we want to see a little more of the place before leaving.
4
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,000
But we have no idea where to we can go and relax after work.
5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:42,700
I'm told Shanghai is an ideal shopping heaven. I'd like to do some shopping for my family before I leave. Do you have any idea about where to go?
6
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:45,100
Have you ever heard of Xin-tian-di?
7
00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:48,100
Xin-tian-di? No.
8
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:50,300
Go ahead and tell them some more about it!
9
00:00:50,300 --> 00:01:00,700
Xin-tian-di is a shopping, eating and entertainment area of Shanghai, which was built in an area of restored "shi-ku-men" houses found in our city's narrow alleys.
10
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:03,100
Excuse me, what is "shi-ku-men"?
11
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:09,100
That's the traditional Shanghai stone gate houses like Beijing's "si-he-yuan".
12
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:20,900
Now they serve as book stores, cafes and restaurants, and shopping malls. The interesting thing is most of the cafés and restaurants have both indoor and outdoor seats.
13
00:01:20,900 --> 00:01:28,900
Sounds wonderful! First I'd like to go shopping there. It's a pity that we only have one night here. It's three o'clock already now.
14
00:01:28,900 --> 00:01:33,000
Yes, only one night.
15
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:43,200
Don't worry. Xin-tian-di is also very famous for its active nightlife. You can go and find a café to have some beer and listen to old Jazz music.
16
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,700
And in Chinese "Xin-tian-di" means "New Heaven and Earth".
17
00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:49,300
Sounds interesting!
18
00:01:49,300 --> 00:01:53,100
It is also considered one of the first lifestyle centers in China.
19
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:56,800
Since it's so amazing...eh, Martin?
20
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,800
Haha, yes, then why stay here talking, let's go!
