Dear Sam, I hear that you don't know the way to the City Cinema. Let me tell you. You can take No.16 bus and get off the bus at the bus station. The bus station is opposite the Centre Park. Go along Renmin Street and cross Chang an Street. You will see Renmin Hospital on your right. And you can see a sports hall opposite the hospital, near the bank. Next to the bank is the City Museum and it's on your left. And on your right is the Parking Area. Go across the Huanghe Street, the City Cinema is just on your right, opposite Fuhe Restaurant. Hope you have a happy weekend! Yours, Lucy |
