Covered Market With Fountain and flower display: Center of Chinese Food Street Tianjin![]() Local And Foreign Dishes Available In Covered Market aka, Chinese Food Street, Tianjin
Chinese Food Street is not what the name might suggest for it is more like a covered market having three storeys. Chinese food is not the only food available on the stalls or in the many different restaurants. The restaurants in the covered market provide a wide variety of cuisines such as French and Italian, and cuisines of other nations. Chinese Food Street is very popular with Chinese visitors and tourists and the diversity of cuisines available should satisfy most tastes.
On the ground floor of the covered market there are many stalls selling cooked foods, preserved fruits and vegetables, nuts and dried fruits of many types, which can be seen from the balcony of the first floor. Perhaps the main attraction on the ground floor is the pond complete with a large Goldfish Fountain, around which dance Elves and Pixies with outstretched hands to catch the cascading water. ''''' Covered Market, Oxford Today the covered market is still home to numerous traders, around half of which are food retailers, including traditional market shops selling fresh food such as greengrocers and butchers. There are also newer gift shops, bakeries and sandwich shops. Most of the shops now are quite a bit larger than the original stall sizes, and so the number of businesses in the covered market is smaller than in the past. It is a bustling area, especially on Saturdays. Src: Wikipedia.org. ''''' ''''' Elves Elves at Christmas In the USA, Canada, and Britain, the modern children's folklore of Santa Claus typically includes diminutive elves at Christmas; green-clad elves with pointy ears (and, occasionally, long noses and pointy hats) as Santa's assistants or hired workers. No one knows who wraps the gifts at Christmas but they make toys in a workshop located in the North Pole. In recent years, other toys usually high-tech toys like computers, video games, DVDs and DVD players, and even mobile phones have also been depicted as being ready for delivery, but not necessarily made, in the workshop as well. In this portrayal, elves slightly resemble nimble and delicate versions of the dwarves of Norse mythology. Src: Wikipedia.org. ''''' |
