Wow! Truly surprised at how you are transported to an Asian world. All stores and restaurants are all Asian. It literally has hundreds of stores and so so many Asian eateries.

Haven't been to this mall for many years. Back then most of the new restaurants outside of the mall were empty. The food court and the inside was the busiest.

Went to the spa called we go. It's huge. They have sauna rooms with different temperatures and hot tubs. Absolutely beautiful place and very clean. It costs about $75 per person for a day pass.

I visited late in the evening because of work. I was surprised by the cleanness and splendor. I didn't feel bad about the expensive admission fee and the extra charge after 2 a.m.
