Among my many explorations in Jiaxing, I have stumbled across many fairs.Yes amusement parks. Ones mainly for little kids, but they can be found scattered throughout the city. In parks, at the "mall" and even by the lakes and rivers. It sounds strange at first, but when considering the laid-back, evenly paced life here in Jiaxing, it only makes sense that they would have several sources of amusement. 
I was lucky enough to find one that was surrounded by creepy little clown figures. I think they would be illegal in the United States due to the amount of terror they bring at first glance.

JiaXing Mall

The night scene in the JiaXing Mall area is also very fair-like. There is an enormous ferris-wheel in-between McDonalds and Wal-Mart. There is also a Papa Johns, STARBUCKS, a tea house and a Movie Cinema. This is all just a 10 minute walk from my apartment!!! Gotta Love JiaXing!!!

There were tons of cute little Chinese children riding these rides and squealing withe delight. I found a nice cafe' overlooking al the lights and attractions. When I first went to the Cafe' I was one of three people and by the time my americano arrived, the place was packed with curious Chinese coming to get a closer look at this strange Blonde "laowei" (foreigner) sipping her coffee and taking in all the new sights.
