Badminton 羽毛球

Inside the badminton venue there was a large park. This site was an open market called Shuang Long in 2004. It was a hardware and household goods market. I bought a bike there. When the site was first decided upon, one of the first things that was done was to build a new market a few blocks away for the vendors. They didn't end up moving there, but that is another story. They relocated to two nearby markets where new buildings and stalls were put up for them.
