    A few years ago I visited Chengdu and stayed at the Philharmonic Hotel. Out the window I had a view of a building with a large sign that said “KEN”. Across the street from the lobby there was something that appeared to be a store called “hong qiu chain.” It was on the first floor of a building that may have been the “KEN” one. I couldn’t go check it out because I was traveling with my high school and the teachers controlled us to make sure we were safe. Anyway, I know Chengdu is a huge city, but does anyone here know what KEN and Hong qiu chain are?

    Hong Qi is a local convenience store chain which can be seen all around Chengdu. They are struggling as better-managed chains like 7/11 and Family come in to the market, but still have a monopoly on utility bill payments, bus card top=ups etc.

    KEN I’m not sure.

    Thanks! I remember suspecting it was something like that, but have been wanting to find out for sure.

    Hi, I think that building is probably the one outside the North gate of Sichuan University. On the first ring Road, First South Section. The address is : No.22 一环路南一段.

    You can check out on Baidu map :)

    Thanks, I think that is likely it. And when I translated the characters it said it is some kind of office. Thanks!
