最近学生问了我这样一道题，让描述“一个拥挤又充满活力的地方”，这就让我想到了北京的蓝色港湾。
蓝色港湾是中国首家 Lifestyle Shopping Park，包括购物中心、商业街、餐饮街、文化艺术休闲水岸等，不同年龄段的人都可以在这里找到适合自己的lifestyle来进行消费。这里虽然每天有人来人往，很拥挤，但是却充满活力与乐趣。

本期节目话题参考文本
I don’t usually go to crowded places since I prefer somewhere that is quiet and relaxing, as I get quite annoyed when there are too many people around. But I do go out, and Beijing is a big city, so if I had to choose, I wanna talk about a place named Solana. The place is an outdoor shopping center with many trendy restaurants and stores. It is located right next to Chaoyang Park, which is also in a very upscale neighborhood. Most of the shops there are boutiques, so they are swanky but a little pricy.
One of my favorite stores there is a yogurt store, and they have this blueberry avocado smoothie which is just fantastic. So whenever I go, that is the first place I visit. And then I will have dinner there. After that, maybe go for a stroll in the park, right next door grab a few drinks in the bars there. The reason I like this place is because it is in a good neighborhood, so people who go there are usually well-mannered and polite. And also, I felt this place is quite functional, as it has everything for everyone whether they are young couples or just families with kids.
