Children can use Lego bricks to build something special for their mom and/or dad with the guidance of the center’s staff. Kids can go solo or even build something with their parents. Playing together can create a strong bond between parents and children. It also can lead to a sense of achievement and sharing among children.

Easter festival
Easter may be officially over, but it’s still going at Anting Life Hub until Sunday.
Sculptor Zhou Beili has been invited to decorate the shopping mall with a variety of Easter eggs both big and small. Most of the eggs hang in the air although there are 30 rather large specimens on the floor. The sculptor has also created a lovely rabbit that may just remind some of Peter Cottontail.
