I just took some photos when following my younger sister to visit a new shopping mall--Wanda plaza in Jiaozuo city where she works.
You can say the boss of Wanda Group is just one of the most wealthy Chinese now, in a way he is even more wealthy and famous than Jack Ma--the chairman of Alibaba group (the boss of taobao in China), and his only son is just called "国民老公national husband" favorably, since he has ever had a lot of girl-friends from entertainment world, a great "playboy"!
We didn't buy any goods in Wanda plaza, my sister told me that the goods price was a little more expensive than other local supermarkets. But we booked a pedicure, which was really an enjoyment for me, too comfortable!
First we were guided to a closed but cozy room, each being told to immerse our feet into a tub with hot water full of unknown Chinese herbal medicine for half an hour, then 2 pedicurists came in, began to work on our feet. Afrer painting some massage oil on our feet and legs, they just rubbed from our feet, legs to knees, pressing the different acupuncture points and lymphatic system on legs. When my pedicurist massaged the acupuncture points on my legs, a sudden sharp pain went through me so that I couldn't help shouting loudly. It was just the process of "expelling of toxin"排毒 in my body.
According to our pedicurists, regular pedicure can help reduce tiredness and keep health by preventing or curing different deceases on heart, liver, kidney, spleen, etc.
It is true that I feel very relaxed after pedicure, the footsteps become so light immediately.
I really want to recommend anyone to have a visit Wanda plaza in New district of Jiaozuo city, Henan province, tasting the great pedicure, they have a promotion price now. The whole surrounding of Wanda plaza is so new/clean and beautiful!
Just enjoy my photos! Anyone is welcome to use my photos freely.
My sister also introduced me another wonderful leisure center named “the star of the sea"(海洋之星). My God, there is a big buffet restaurant, and an immense swimming pool, etc. The most important thing is the price is so cheap. You can eat so much delicious food at a stroke, you can also take shower, have a free hairdressing and swim and play games on game machine in a total price of 69 Chinese yuan(about 11 dollar) for 12 hours.
Next time I wish I can stay in it longer, and I will take some great photos to show my dear international Steemit readers.
The food in "the star of the sea" is really too tempting and abundant. (It is the first time for me to taste the roasted scallop.) Jiaozuo is a great and historic place rich in natural resources, well-known to have 四大怀药
source
4 special herbal medicines--怀山药（Chinese yam)，怀菊花(Chrysanthemum)，怀牛膝(Achyranthes root),怀地黄（Rehmannia). In Ming dynasty, Jiaozuo place was just the famous "怀庆府（Huaiqing prefecture)". The Ming government was set up by a lot of muslims in Chinese history, so there still remains quite a few 回民muslim population mixed with Han nationality in Jiaozuo now. (Most of Chinese belong to Han nationality including myself. You can read my blog about Han nationality by clicking here.)
They don't eat pork, but they are good at making beef, mutton and rabbit meats. Pitifully my sister and I were both too full at that time, having no chance to taste different kinds of meat. We only couldn't wait to eat barbecue such as roasted scallops, mutton kebabs, and roasted vegetables/leeks,etc.
It is a huge blessing to visit/travel a new place with a great local guide like my younger sister! Unfortunately my American husband left us forever. I had had a lot of plans for him in the future, I would like to take him to visit Jiaozuo, too. I only wanted to enjoy life with him after we saved a sum of money. Who knows many times we must grasp our chance to enjoy life in time?
Going through the horrible death, I realize that life is short in our mortal world! We should take advantage of every chance to enjoy life even if we haven't enough money. Only by enjoying life, we deepen friendship, help each other, feel love and cultivate self-confidence. At the same time money can follow us automatically if we all understand the natural law of "mutual help".
I have began to miss the food in "the star of the sea", so great! Where to enjoy such high-quality and delicate food with only 11 dollar(so cheap,OK)in the world? You can keep on eating different fine food such as rice, noodles, milk, cakes, fruits, porridges, beers, etc. for 12 hours in a row, you only regret why you are not "a king of eaters" there!
Hello @ginafraser! I'm glad you had a great time bonding with your sister and had soothing pedicure :-) Yes, there are so many ways to have a good time without spending much. Gosh, I always love seafood buffet. We have those buffet restaurants here too in Cebu that serves seafoods. Grilled scallops are yummy!

Yeah. It is the first time for me to taste "grilled scallops". Maybe I use the wrong term"roasted scallops", it should be "grilled scallops", the shell is so beautiful.
In our local place, as usual, there are not too much seafood, or they are rather expensive. We Henan people live in mainland, far from sea. Most of people even have no chance to watch the sea in our lifetime. I watched the sea at the first time until I was 28 years. So excited to see the sea.
I love those beautiful grilled scallops so much. It seems that it can become a kind of elegant art to eat them.
