It's a giant building called Joy City. One of the main entrances has a white Christmas tree completely dedicated to Hello Kitty. So little pink bows decorate the tree while Hello Kitty and penguins surround the tree. Not too far from it is a giant Optimus Prime. I think I only reached his knees, myself. That's just the entrance!
As you walked in, there are stores all around. The basement is home to an ice-skating rink. I've yet to go to the rink itself. I need to find some people to come with me. :) Also, the arcades! There's an arcade designed for older kids, teenagers, and adults, while an arcade meant for younger children is right next to it.
The building is also designed to look like giant domes from different parts of the mall. Hello Kitty still decorates the places like she's touring different parts of the world. On the different floors are also different Transformers. I think I saw Bumblebee fighting a cat Decepticon... If I remembered it correctly.
The stores looked a little on the expensive side, but then there was one place that sold me on the awesomeness of it... Cold Stone. That's right. There's a Cold Stone in Tianjin.
For those of you that have never had Cold Stone, it acts more like a cream than Ice Cream. It's frozen, like ice cream, but the texture of it is more cream. Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if it was frozen yogurt. You order your sizes in Like It, Love it, or Gotta Have It. I go for the Like Its. Then they flatten it, and you can have whatever you want inside the ice cream. Sprinkles, oreo cookies, etc. It's amazing. I highly recommend people look on Google Maps to find out where the nearest Cold Stone is to them, and make a drive. It's a little expensive, but it's worth every penny. It's gotta be good if there's Cold Stones in more places than Beijing.

Turtles! Aren't they cute? I have no idea if they're meant to be pets or food. Probably pets, considering their size.
