The square was very clean. The flags all around, the lighted trees, the garden in the middle of the walkway, the prominent golden statue, the fountains, the marble, the sky scraper, the restaurants at the bottom - the shops!! There is just so much to see at this centre and it's all so pretty! The only downside is that since... More

This place is great if you'd like to go hang out by yourself, with friends, or with your kids. Lots of shops inside the building and all around. You can take a tour of the building or go all the way to the 'Top of the Rock'. More
