This was a rare occurence. I just came from a shopping center that did NOT have a lot of people. Shopping centers in the Philippines tend to be very busy any day and any time of the week. So to go to this shopping center where almost every business had zero customers was very surprising. The view of the water was wonderful. They also have replicas of numerous landmarks of the world. Specifically, you can see Big Ben, Statue of Liberty, Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
This shopping center is called Sands Gateway Mall, and it is situated close to the water in Danao City, Cebu. Really pretty location that has only been open a couple of years. Hopefully, the only reason they were slow is because most of the mall's occupants are reataurants. Also, we came at an odd time (between 2 and 4 pm). Metro will be opening next door in the next year or so. That will increase customer traffic for sure. In the meantime, drop by this mall for a meal if you are wanting to avoid long lines. read more
