| Welcome to the house of fun: China’s ultimate entertainment pit stop Posted: 01 Mar 2012 07:57 PM PST Try to find an entertainment that's not on the menu at Day Day Holiday (天天周末). With karaoke, eight-bit video games, ping-pong tables and rooftop barbecues, the Shanghai game center chain buzzes like Rio de Janeiro during Mardi Gras. Its Xuhui outlet -- a two-story villa occupying roughly 250 square meters -- sports more than 20 different activities. Instead of trying to attract individuals, Day Day Holiday invites groups of visitors to rent homelike spaces designed solely for play. Since its first venue opened up on Julu Lu in 2008, Day Day Holiday has grown fast. The brand now runs three outlet in Shanghai -- in Luwan, Xuhui and Huangpu District. Each venue can house up to 100 people and operates for up to 18 hours a day. More on CNNGo: Marvelous mahjong: 4 places to play in Shanghai read more    |
