They called it the Great Posad. These are the most ancient historical districts of Moscow. The name “Kitai-Gorod” refers to a part of the metropolis inside the Kitai-Gorod wall, which includes Varvarka, Nikolskaya, Ilyinka streets and the Zaryadye area.

The emergence of this wonderful area was caused by security considerations. The rich Great Posad has needed protection since ancient times. In the XIV-XV centuries, it completely burned down four times after Tatar raids on Moscow. To protect the city, Muscovites surrounded it with a ditch and built earthen ramparts, on the crests of which they placed two rows of palisades. The space between them was filled with stones. The original rampart was called Kitay-Gorod. It was probably the Turkic word “katai” pronounced in Russian, that is, “fortress” (but there are many other, no less interesting, versions of the origin of the name).

The construction of the building began under the minor Tsar Ivan IV in 1535. Petrok Fryazin supervised the construction, and Metropolitan Daniel laid the first stone. The powerful fortress wall was 2.5 km long and stretched from the Arsenal Tower to Lubyanka Square, and then sharply turned towards the Moscow River and went to the Beklemishevskaya Tower of the Kremlin. In comparison with the Kremlin walls, Kitaygorodskaya was lower (6.5 meters), but much thicker (6 meters). A bulky artillery piece could easily be mounted on it. Construction lasted three years, and everything was done according to the latest achievements of fortification science of those years. The barriers and towers withstood the heaviest fire from any artillery.

Centuries passed, Moscow lived its own life, and Kitay-Gorod was not only a commercial and administrative center, but also a scientific and cultural center. Printing yard, and later the Synodal Printing House was located here. The Slavic-Latin Academy worked in the Zaikonospassky Monastery, and the Moscow University was located in the premises of the Zemsky Prikaz under Tsarina Elizaveta Petrovna.

Gradually, the borders of Rus' strengthened, and Kitay-Gorod lost its military significance for Moscow. In the 18th century, the first plans to demolish the Kitai-Gorod wall appeared, but Tsar Alexander I did not give his consent. IN late XIX century, Moscow architect S. Rodionov carried out a serious restoration of the protective system. In 1935, a “construction fever” occurred in the capital - many ancient buildings in Moscow were demolished, and new ones were erected in their place. A large section of the Kitai-Gorod wall was also destroyed. Its remains can be seen near the Metropol and Rossiya hotels. Part of the foundation, made of white stone, was dug up by builders when they were constructing an underground passage near the Kitay-Gorod station. A few years later, the Russian public realized that the Kitai-Gorod Wall was a unique historical monument, and it was partially restored.

In any era, China Town was in full swing fast paced life- here were the control centers of Moscow and the state: orders, banks, all kinds of Russian offices selling wholesale, and foreign representative offices. During Soviet times, the district concentrated party and government institutions, including the Central Committee of the CPSU. And today China Town has hospitably “sheltered” the offices of corporations from the most different countries, insurance companies and banks. The Administration of the President of the Russian Federation also works here.

Within this area there are historical monuments and places dear to the heart that are priceless for Russians, such as, and other attractions that give Moscow a unique image. Residential buildings in these places there is no, so it is only during the day that busy business life boils here. And in the evenings, China Town resembles a deserted but beautiful scenery from some science fiction film.

Reviews about TC China Town on Vyborg Highway in St. Petersburg

Marina Shanina: Kitay-gorod is an ordinary shopping center, located on the ground floor, where there used to be a parking lot. Among the features I can note are the large retail areas of the stores. Buyers do not jostle with their butts, but can calmly see the goods. The main tenants are Chinese traders, but there are also Russian entrepreneurs, they mainly sell in the aisles. On weekends there are a lot of people, there are clearly not enough parking spaces.

Tatyana Romashkina: The shopping center "China City", or popularly known as "Panda", recently opened on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. “The folk path does not overgrow with him.” At the entrance, a huge Panda greets you. Panda is everywhere. Lots of cute panda toys. The departments are large and spacious. There are a lot of goods. The prices are very reasonable - they make me happy. You can bargain, sellers make discounts, without any promotions. Everyone finds something for themselves, for their family. There are a lot of people. No one leaves without shopping. Buses help out. On weekends it is difficult to find a place for a car.

Sonya Regit: I liked the prices in Kitai-gorod, they are much lower than in St. Petersburg. We bought a jacket for my husband for 4 thousand rubles, in other stores jackets of the same quality cost 8 - 10 thousand rubles. I bought a handbag for my beloved, which I had been eyeing for a long time in the MEGA Parnas shopping center, but the price there was steep. There is a large selection of goods here, the quality is Chinese, like everywhere else, but the price is 30-40% less. There is a good department of bed linen, a lot of shoes, but almost no household appliances.

Kira Novikova: We went to Kitay-Gorod to look at the new shopping center. Overall the review is positive. The goods are really cheap. Right at the entrance there is a hat shop, where I bought a women's mouton hat for 2,100 rubles. In the next store we bought a good quality children's sweater. It must be said that all trading blocs have large area, so you can choose from a large number of products. My friend bought children's clothes, but when trying them on at home, some of them did not fit. I was afraid that they would not accept it back, but the sellers returned the money without talking.

Katerina Mirkina: We went on Saturday to check out the new shopping center "China City" (Panda). Immediately there was a problem with parking; there was clearly not enough space for cars. The very center is spacious, wide corridors with shopping islands, and there is a free toilet. There are clothes for every taste, a lot of shoes, children's clothes and toys. If you came with the specific purpose of buying something, you won’t leave without buying something. The prices, of course, were pleasantly surprising; the child bought a transformer for almost 2 times cheaper than in “Children’s World”. Sneakers for my husband again cost 1,800 rubles less than the equivalent from Sportmaster. Small household items like a bath mat cost a penny, I’m even surprised that such prices can exist.
