Shopping
Shops on Campus
________________________________________
As the only medium size supermarket in JNU, Sunshine L. Better Shop , located in the Zhenru Building sells wide varieties of food and drink. In view of the fact that parts of students come from HK, Taiwan, Macao and foreign countries, the supermarkets provide students with many imported commodities. Minghu Mall, on the second floor of Zhenru Building, offers students magazines, newspapers, stationary and snacks. Compared with Sunshine L. Better Shop, the prices of some goods in Minghu Mall are cheaper. There is also a shop on the second floor for students to copy and print.
