Hong Kou qu 虹口区
Hong Kou Neighborhood.

On a run through our rapidly-gentrifying Hong Kou qu this morning, Laurel and I stumbled upon a new upscale shopping/dining complex. Most interesting to me was the "Diaz" coffee shop, which looked remarkably similar to another well known coffee chain, which also happened to have a shop less than 100 ft away.

Who says capitalism isn't thriving in China?
