Sanlitun 三里屯

Here are some pics I took my 2nd day in Beijing of Sanlitun 三里屯 - a shopping / bar / restaurant district on the east side. I can actually cycle there in about 5min.


This massive adidas is the 1st shop u see coming from the main street. This is the biggest adidas store in the world!


Here is a huge UNIQLO building next to adidas. I quite like the patterns of the windows (that fool in the corner is Denis). When shopping at UNIQLO, keep in mind that the quality of clothes in UNIQLO Japan is much higher than in UNIQLO elsewhere as the Japanese like to keep the best fabric for themselves.


What a pain to keep those windows clean!


Another building similar style to Uniqlo, i like the trees, but not sure what is inside.


Further north is a VW showroom. Here we saw some zippy paintjobs for the olympics.
