Nan An Jin Du. A residential complex with about two dozen houses, each one with 21 floors. A quiet residential area with dense vegetation. Every evening one can admire the young and the old in the table tennis rooms on the ground floor of the buildings smashing plastic balls . A basketball court is as famous as the keep-fit trail. The pool is not currently used.
The apartments have an above average standard and are fully furnished. Various additional features inclusive such as heat lamp, rain forest shower, LED lighting and flat screen TV as well as air conditioning in every room. It can hardly be seen as a normal student’s room. Before the dwellings, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen are lined up next to the plantings. Next to the compound are hairdressers, beauticians, massage parlors and pharmacies.

At Nan Jing Du, only one of the many residential areas in Binjiang. I arrived in the Chinese middle class.
