This old building, usually filled with a chaotic mass of customers, is fun to explore. It seems like an open-air night market that was simply moved indoors. There are all sorts of items for sale, like clothes, shoes and accessories, as well as dried and fresh food in strange shapes and flavors. Interesting to note is the massage parlor, right next to the escalators, waiting to re-energize weary shoppers. Maneuvering through this complex necessitates zigzagging through different stores.
