As for the bookstore, I prefer to go to the Sanlian Bookstore next to the Children's Palace and the White Swan opposite. The most important thing is convenient transportation, so I don't have to bother to find it. Usually I can buy books there.
As for shopping, I think young people can go to Sanbei Street and Shanglin Square, which are leisure squares integrating playing, eating and shopping. You can also go to the newly renovated International Trade Building. I prefer to go to the International Trade Center and the shopping center to buy clothes (next to Cixi coach station).
If you want to try snacks, I recommend going to another village, where there are many snacks and delicious food, the price is more affordable and the things are more exquisite. Another barbecue I often go to is the all-Yong Cheng buffet barbecue. Everyone is 46, and the food inside is very complete. I like eating there very much. And more people go there. As for KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut and Cixi Youth Palace, they are all on the road. Basically, the shopping and eating places in Cixi are very close, and you can see a lot of delicious food just by walking around.
I suggest you go to Times to watch movies. Now, for summer activities, the movie ticket is only 20 yuan per person. I prefer to go to the third floor of Xinduhui to watch movies and play video games on the second floor.
