Su Xiaoyu then took everyone to a large department store in Russia to watch, when it came to department stores, Qu Lihua was interested, women are born to love shopping, in China, Qu Lihua also likes to visit shopping malls, but in recent years, China's e-commerce has developed very fast, young people are very busy at work, and there is a lot less time to visit shopping malls, so the habit of visiting shopping malls has become visiting online stores.

I always like to take a mobile phone and visit the online store to see if there are any cosmetics, clothes, bags, shoes or something I like, shopping, it is a kind of fun for women, and that kind of fun is difficult to describe in words.

Buying, buying, buying, buying what you like, and there will be a strong sense of pleasure and satisfaction in your heart.

"Hahaha......" Xia Yuxiang was amused, "Xiao Su is really humorous, you didn't buy anything for your wife, let's go, take us to see it, our members also want to buy something in Russia to take back to China and keep it as a souvenir." ”

"Alright, let's go!"

Su Xiaoyu said: "The GUM department store is very famous in Russia, it is a huge luxury shopping mall, and the things in it are staggeringly expensive, and we may not buy them, but I think it is still very good to take everyone to open their eyes and see the special products of Russia." ”

The GUM department store is the most famous shopping mall in Russia, it is located next to the Red Square complex for more than 100 years, built in the 19th century, is the largest shopping mall in Russia, and is one of the most fashionable leisure shopping places in Moscow. The three-row three-storey verandah shopping mall covers an area of nearly 25,000 square meters, and the appearance of the building is very luxurious and elegant, with European-style round arches and delicate white marble borders, which look noble and chic, and the eaves are decorated with flowers.

The interior is gorgeously decorated with sculptures, fountains, greenery, and lighting, which decorate the entire mall like a palace and castle, and the interior space of the store is an architectural monument of the Russian Art Nouveau era, and strolling through the galleries will not only bring pleasure to the followers of luxury shopping, but also have a great appreciation for art.

The Gum department store is divided into three streets, with three long rows of verandahs, each with three floors, connected by an arched bridge, with a Plexiglass ceiling and a beautiful view of the outside.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!" The members of the group let out exclamations, and Qu Lihua followed the head of Xia Yuxiang, looking around happily.

Su Xiaoyu walked to the front, led the team for everyone, and explained to everyone: "There are more than 1,000 specialty stores in the Gum department store, which not only have porcelain, handicrafts, clothing, department stores and other boutiques with Russian characteristics, but also gather a dazzling array of imported goods, and has become one of the ten world-renowned department stores, which is not only the gathering place of the world's major brands, but also a large shopping center integrating shopping, catering and entertainment. ”

"Sometimes famous Italian fashion brands often come here to walk the catwalk, there is a sense of modern fashion, there is also a sense of retro, it is not so much a store, it is more like a palace, a beige building in the classical style of Europe, with a sense of solemnity, thick history and culture, very shocking. ”

"With its presence in porcelain, handicrafts, clothing, department stores and other products with Russian characteristics, as well as a wide range of imported goods, it is not only a great place for Russians, but also attracts many tourists from all over the world. ”

There is a fountain in the middle of the first floor, which attracts Qu Lihua's attention, she likes this fountain very much, it is said that young people from Russia come here for a date, and many people like to meet in this fountain, because it is easy to find, and it has become a landmark.

The large brown-red octagonal shape encloses the fountain, the tray with the European classical style is the spout of the fountain, and the shop door on the second floor has a European classical style street lamp, the curved lamp tube hangs down, and the round glass cover outside the lamp looks exquisite and elegant, showing the European style of magnanimity and dignity everywhere.

Su Xiaoyu said: "The poor quality goods and poor attitude of the salesmen of the past are gone, and they are replaced by a dazzling array of boutiques and high-end cosmetics. Attracting local tyrants from all over the world who have the ability to buy, it is the right place to buy famous brands. ”

Su Xiaoyu patiently took everyone to go shopping one by one, Xia Yuxiang teased him: "Xiao Su, do you usually go shopping with your wife?"

Su Xiaoyu shook his head, "I rarely accompany my wife to go shopping, I am usually busy with work, I just receive you and take your light, so I will come here to take a look." ”

Qu Lihua asked Xia Yuxiang, "Leader, do men like to go shopping?"

Xia Yuxiang said: "Many people in China say that men don't like to go shopping, in fact, that's wrong, I like to travel when I'm young, and I have also been to a lot of domestic attractions, such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Chengde Summer Resort, Qinling Terracotta Warriors, Hangzhou West Lake, Guilin landscape, Suzhou Garden, Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Suzhou Hanshan Temple, Qiandao Lake, many tourist attractions, I have been there, I also love to visit the local shopping malls, although I can't travel around like Xu Xiake, but Chinese men as long as the economic conditions allow, they want to come out to join in the fun, broaden their horizons, and increase some knowledge. ”

"Over the years, Chinese have bulged their pockets, their living conditions are better, they can also come out to travel, look everywhere, not only in domestic tourism, many Chinese like to go abroad and see the outside world." ”

"Today we are really feasting our eyes, exotic, very Russian, we will first walk around here during the day, and in the evening, come again, let Xiao Su show us the night view of the Gum. ”

"Lao Xia is right, the night view of the Gum department store is also very charming, the lights are brilliant, very prosperous, at noon I will take you to an authentic Russian restaurant to try authentic Russian dishes, to see what Russians like to eat. ”

When it comes to food, the interest of the group members is higher, and everyone has more and more topics, talking and laughing along the way, and the mood is very happy.
