Doumen brightens rainy days with enclosed pleasures

Rain or shine, there's much going on in Doumen, from gourmet foods, mall culture, and karting to soaking at a hot spring or spiraling high on a Ferris wheel.

Dasin Doumen Metro Mall

Since last October, Dasin Doumen Metro Mall has been brimming with fashionable features. The center has five floors above ground and three below, with a total floorage of 17 hectares (42 acres). The one-stop experience from shopping and catering to entertainment, fitness, and leisure can take up a whole day regardless of the weather.

Food choices run the gamut from fast buffets to high-end western restaurants. Among them are KFC, McDonald's, Starbucks, and a Venice Restaurant. There is also an IMAX cinema, indoor amusement park, and Grand Prix Sky (a racing club). In addition, the 62-m (203-ft) Sky Wheel, with 36 enclosed seats and a 20-minute circuit, offers a panoramic view along the Huangyang River.
