A quick question for those living near BLCU....where is the bookshop? I need to meet someone there on Monday evening and they said its near the new south gate...does this make sense?
And is it near enough to catch the subway there and walk?
Yes, the BLCU bookshop is near South Gate. From WDK station you can walk down Chengfulu to the BLCU South Gate. It will take about 15 minutes.
Perhaps the only potential problem is that there's now a smaller gate (referred to as 小南门) between the subway and the actual gate you want which might be mistaken for the South Gate. Just make sure you go into the one with the bookshop next to it.
Thankyou very much as always...i have always walked to a gate from the subway before but not knowing my left from my right or should i say my south from my north when im in areas unknown to me, Im always BOUND to get lost! But having said that, I have my little compass with me, so I shouldnt get into too much trouble!!!!
