When it comes to a crowded place of Bingtu, well the first place that jumps into my mind is the Taiqing streets, one of the well-known commercial streets in the city, Shenzhen, where I live. Actually, I often go there with some of my friends at weekends. As a fashion insider, I really can’t resist the temptation of those eye-dazzling products on the streets. As a tourist attraction in my city, the Taiqing streets has captivated countless visitors for decades, especially at weekends and on public holidays. I still remember how crowded the streets was when I went there for shopping for the first time. The moment I stepped into the streets, I was astonished. Everyone was squashed together like sardines on the streets, you know. A lot of people just stood with their shoulders against shoulders and backs against backs. Additionally, there was a long queue of people waiting outside different shops, and the square on the street had been already jam-packed with people enjoying music performances and magic shows. So the journey from the East Gate to the West Gate was quite challenging. I mean, I could hardly move around. So basically, there were people everywhere. I had to be very careful so that I would not put my foot on the limbs of someone else. And what’s worse, I even had to join a long queue for the toilets, which was really terrible. As for how I felt about it, well, I was super excited, as I could basically find everything I need on the streets. But at the same time, I was a bit worried about my personal stuff, like my cellphones and wallets being stolen, because it was really congested inside the shopping mall.
