IKEA (Shanghai) Pictures

By Jian Shuo Wang on 2004-05-30 23:13 · IKEA

Hey, where are my IKEA pictures? I looked into my picture archives and found some. They were taken one year ago, exactly after the new IKEA store opened in Shanghai.

Location of Shanghai IKEA:

At the intersectoin between Cao Xi Road and Inner Ring.
Opposite to Hua Ting Hotel.
At the Metro Line #1 Shanghai Studium Station
If you take bus, find the Shanghai Studium Station and get off board there.

It's fun you enjoy IKEA. I'm from Sweden myself. Great blog you have here, I will be reading here frequently in the future. I am thinking about studying chinese + economics and this is a good resource for finding out more than the "standard" stuff. Thanks!

Hi Jian Shuo Wang,

You might remember me contacting you previously. I am currently at The University of Melbourne, and I am writing my thesis on consumerism in China.

I just wanted to ask you if I could use some of your IKEA photos in my thesis?

Thanks,

Adrienne

IKEA's furniture are great! They're cheap and last long. Yes, i've tried to go to one of those local factories....stuff that lasts 2 months and then is good for the fire-place. Cheaper...sure...but what a pain re-buying every second month.

These swedes know their s...t...
