Reviews of TC Kitay Gorod on the Vyborg highway in St. Petersburg
Marina Shanina: Kitay-Gorod is an ordinary shopping center, located on the ground floor, where the parking lot used to be. Of the features, I can note the large shopping areas of the shops. Customers don't push their asses, but can easily see the goods. The main tenants are Chinese traders, but there are also Russian entrepreneurs, they mainly trade in the aisles. On weekends, there are a lot of people, there is clearly not enough parking space.
Tatiana Romashkina: The "Kitai Gorod" shopping center, and among the common people "Panda", has recently opened on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. The folk path does not overgrow to him. At the entrance, a huge Panda meets. The panda is everywhere. Lots of cute panda toys. The departments are large and spacious. There are a lot of goods. The prices are very pleasant - they please. You can bargain, sellers make discounts, without any promotions. Everyone finds something for themselves, for their family. There are many people. Nobody leaves without shopping. Buses help out. It's hard to find a place for a car on weekends.
Sonya Regit: I liked the prices in Kitai-Gorod, they are much lower than those in St. Petersburg. We bought a jacket for my husband for 4 thousand rubles, in other stores jackets of the same quality cost 8-10 thousand rubles. I bought myself a handbag for my beloved, which I had long looked at in the MEGA Parnas shopping center, but the price was biting there. There is a large selection of goods, the quality is like everywhere else Chinese, but the price is 30-40% less. There is a good bedding department, a lot of shoes, but almost no household appliances.
Kira Novikova: We went to Kitay-Gorod to see the new shopping center. In general, the review is positive. The goods are really cheap. Immediately at the entrance, there is a hats store, where I bought a mouton women's hat for 2,100 rubles. The next store bought a good quality children's sweater. I must say that all trading blocks have a large area, so you can choose from a large number of goods. My friend bought children's clothes, but at home when trying on some of them did not fit. I was afraid that they would not accept it back, but the sellers returned the money without further ado.
Katerina Mirkina: We went on Saturday to get acquainted with the new shopping center "China Town" (Panda). Immediately there was a problem with parking, there is clearly not enough space for cars. In the very center it is spacious, wide corridors with shopping islands, there is a free toilet. There are clothes for every taste, a lot of shoes, children's clothes and toys. If you came with a specific purpose to buy something, then you will not leave without a purchase. Of course, the prices were pleasantly surprised, the child was bought a transformer almost 2 times cheaper than in the "Children's world". Sneakers for my husband, again, cost 1,800 rubles cheaper than the analogue from "Sportmaster". Household small things like a bath rug cost a penny, I'm even surprised that such prices can be.

China is not only one of the largest countries in the world and the most populous part of the planet. China is a centuries-old tradition, these are special rules of behavior and communication, and therefore those who are going to visit this country as a tourist simply must familiarize themselves with them.
China attracts tourists from all over the world, primarily for its centuries-old culture, customs and cultural values. Tourism in China is focused on attracting the attention of the world community to the cultural heritage of the people, the peculiarities of unusual architecture, because this country is rightfully considered the cradle of civilization that has made a huge contribution to the development of world culture. In China, traditions have not changed for many centuries, certain ceremonies are observed, which are radically different from those in other countries. In addition, the indigenous people are characterized by special religious canons and beliefs. They have their own, unique view of some things, of the worldview as a whole.
Features of behavior in China
Holidays in Asian countries, and especially in China, are becoming extremely popular. But the countries of this continent have their own specific orders and customs, rules of conduct. What is possible in a European country is considered almost a crime in China. For example, it is not recommended to interrupt a conversation between two Chinese, it is ugly to leave food on a plate, it is better to take as much of a dish as is necessary.An attempt to photograph the interior of churches or private houses is considered a much more serious offense, but you can do this in a museum. You can take pictures of people as much as you like, but only outdoors.
In some cities of the country, it is not customary to tip; this can offend the owner of a restaurant or cafe. In Hong Kong, taxi drivers do not give change and do not know English at all, and the tourist must provide them with a note with the address of the place where he needs to go.
Both in small bazaars and in large markets it is imperative to bargain; consent to buy an item at a specified price is considered bad form. And you definitely need to smile - the Chinese are very friendly and almost non-conflicting people, they are sure that any problem can be solved simply by discussing it and expressing their opinion.
What else you need to know for those traveling to China
It is best to use the Chinese national currency to pay for services and buy souvenirs in China. Moreover, it is better to take care of the exchange of money before the trip, and not upon arrival in the country.When walking along the city streets, you need to be extremely careful, since neither motorists nor cyclists, as a rule, do not follow the traffic rules.
And one more feature - you cannot take expensive lighters to China, since they are allowed in there, but they are not allowed to export.

China is one of the most interesting countries in the world for an independent tourist with an unforgettable atmosphere that combines ancient traditions and ultra-modern technologies. There are a number of tips to follow when planning your trip to China.
Obtaining a visa
To travel to China, Russians need an entry visa, which can be obtained through an agency when buying a tour or at a consulate if you plan to travel on your own. To obtain a visa, you need to submit an application and the following documents: passport, photo, application form, documents confirming hotel booking, original and photocopy of insurance certificate (coverage of at least $ 15,000), photocopy of air tickets or printout of electronic tickets. The terms for issuing a visa vary from 3 to 7 days, depending on the urgency of the visa.
The choice of the region of rest
In order to successfully travel around China, you should decide on the direction of your vacation. For a beach holiday and a "smooth" introduction to the culture of the Middle Kingdom, it is worth choosing the island of Hainan. Firstly, a visa to Hainan can be issued upon arrival at the airport, and secondly, Hainan is a tourist area where you can communicate in English or even Russian (there are Russian-speaking travel agencies on the island). To travel around mainland China, you should immediately take a phrasebook with you, or download an online translator, since the inhabitants of the country do not speak English in 90% of cases.
Transport for travel
The choice of transport on which the journey will take place is quite important. Renting a car in China is quite dangerous due to the very chaotic traffic. China has a well-developed bus service, excellent rail links (with high-speed trains), and in addition there is a network of low-cost airlines. If there is a specific plan for visiting attractions and resorts, it is best to select the modes of transport for it. Do not forget that smoking is allowed on Chinese buses and trains.
Travel food
When traveling to China, you should pay close attention to the national cuisine known all over the world. In all settlements of the country there is a huge number of eateries of different levels: from expensive restaurants designed for tourists to eateries “for their own”. Since the names of the dishes in English will not be on the menu, you can choose from the picture or just show them to the dish you like, which is eaten at the next table.
Accommodation reservation
Booking accommodation in Chinese cities is also not difficult: in fact, all hotels are on the two world booking systems Booking.com and Agoda, room rates start at 300 rubles per day per room in a guesthouse. You don't have to book a hotel in advance: in every major city there are entire streets dedicated to travel agencies, hotels and hostels.
Safety
The level of security in Chinese cities is standard for Asia, so it is not recommended to carry all your money and credit cards in one place.

They called him the Great Posad. These are the most ancient historical districts of Moscow. The name "Kitai-Gorod" means a part of the metropolis inside the Kitaygorodskaya wall, which includes Varvarka, Nikolskaya, Ilyinka streets and the Zaryadye district.
The emergence of this remarkable area was driven by security concerns. The rich Great Posad needed protection from time immemorial. In the XIV-XV centuries, it completely burned down four times after the Tatar raids on Moscow. To protect the city, the Muscovites surrounded it with a moat and poured earthen ramparts, on the crests of which they set up two rows of palisades. The space between them was filled with stones. A kind of rampart was called Kitay-Gorod. Probably, it was the Turkic word “katay” pronounced in Russian, that is, “fortress” (but there are many other, no less interesting, versions of the origin of the name).
The construction began under the minor Tsar Ivan IV in 1535. Petrok Fryazin supervised the construction, and the first stone was laid by Metropolitan Daniel. The powerful fortress wall had a length of 2.5 km and stretched from the Arsenal Tower to Lubyanskaya Square, and then sharply turned to the Moskva River and went up to the Beklemishevskaya Tower of the Kremlin. In comparison with the Kremlin walls, Kitaygorodskaya was lower (6.5 meters), but much thicker (6 meters). A bulky artillery gun was easily installed on it. Construction lasted three years, and everything was done according to the latest achievements of fortification science of those years. Barriers and towers withstood the strongest fire of any artillery.
Centuries passed, Moscow lived its own life, and Kitai-gorod was not only a trade and administrative center, but also a scientific and cultural center. The Printing House, and later the Synodal Printing House, was located here. The Slavic-Latin Academy worked in the Zaikonospassky monastery, and Moscow University was in the premises of the Zemsky Prikaz under Tsarina Elizaveta Petrovna.
Gradually, the borders of Russia were strengthened, and Kitay-Gorod lost its military significance for Moscow. In the 18th century, the first plans to demolish the Kitaygorodskaya wall appeared, but Tsar Alexander I did not give his consent. At the end of the 19th century, the Moscow architect S. Rodionov carried out a serious restoration of the defense system. In 1935, there was a "construction fever" in the capital - many old buildings in Moscow were demolished, and new ones were erected in their place. A large section of the Kitaygorodskaya wall was also destroyed. Its remains can be seen near the Metropol and Russia hotels. Part of the foundation, made of white stone, was dug by the builders when they were constructing an underpass near Kitay-Gorod station. A few years later, the Russian public realized that the Kitaygorodskaya wall is a unique historical monument, and it was partially restored.
In Kitay-gorod in any era, a stormy life was in full swing - here were the centers of control of Moscow and the state: orders, banks, all kinds of Russian offices selling wholesale, and foreign representations. During the Soviet era, the region concentrated in itself party and state institutions, including the Central Committee of the CPSU. And today Kitay-Gorod has hospitably "sheltered" the offices of corporations from various countries, insurance companies and banks. The Administration of the President of the Russian Federation also works here.
Within the boundaries of this district are located such invaluable historical monuments and places dear to the heart for Russians, as well as other attractions that give Moscow a unique image. There are no residential buildings in these places, so only in the daytime there is a stormy business life here. And in the evenings, Kitai-Gorod resembles a deserted but beautiful scenery from some fantastic movie.
