The Avenue (Of the stars) bird watching

This is the chinese version of the hollywood "walk of fame".

Unfortunately, you may not appreciate the "stars" down at your feet because the names inscribed are chinese celebrities possibly you never heard of. As such, just enjoy watching thousands of tourists flocking the site or do some bird watching.
