Shopping news
Jan 1st, 2010 | By Chris | Category: Believe it or not, Random Shanghai stuff...China now has the world’s largest shopping mall, I think to be superseded by the new one being built on Taikang Road. Also, the BBC reports China is now implementing women only car parks.
Quote:
The women-only car park in Shijiazhuang city is also painted in pink and light purple to appeal to female tastes.
Capitalist angst
Official Wang Zheng told AFP news agency the car park was meant to cater to women’s “strong sense of colour and different sense of distance”.
The parking bays are one metre (3ft) wider than normal spaces, he said.
The Wanxiang-Tiancheng shopping centre had also “installed signs and security monitoring equipment that corresponded more to women’s needs”, he said.
The Global Times website says female parking attendants have been trained to help guide women drivers into their parking spaces. The bays also have extra lighting.
