Luxurious Christmas Tree In Beijing Shopping Centre
The top of a giant Christmas tree stands in a shopping centre on December 5, 2007, in Beijing, China. The 15 metre high Christmas tree is decorated with over 400 teddy bears of various sizes and topped with a red bear wearing a sparkling bow tie decorated with over 5,000 diamonds, weighing 135 carats. With the growing competitiveness of China's economy, mass consumer consumption leading up to Christmas has boomed in China, particularly in the last 2 years.
