How to get to fudi for Spicy Fest
By Taxi/Ride Hailing
Now there are few different Fudi branches so if you’re using a ride hailing app make sure you pick the one that is Fudi Storage Member Store (Kiln Wahu Shop).
Or if you’re using a Chinese ride hailing app the correct branch is fudi仓储会员店(窑洼湖店) (Fudi Yaowa Lake Park).
Alternatively if you’re hailing a cab you can tell or show the driver this address:
Fudi Yaowa Lake Park仓储会员店(窑洼湖店)
North Side of Yaowa Lake Park
窑洼湖公园北侧停车楼一层
By Subway
The nearest subway to fudi is Pingleyuan on Line 14, when you arrive you’ll need to go out of Exit C and then walk east, cross over the road, continue walking east and the you’ll see fudi on your right. It should be about a ten minute walk.
By Bus
The nearest bus stop to fudi is Pingleyuan Xiaoqu, which buses 637, 457, 41 and 535 stop at. When you get off at the bus stop you’ll need to walk east for about five minutes and then you’ll see fudi on your right.
Fudi should be pretty easy to spot: it’s big and green! Once you get there, just follow our signs to make your way up to the 4th floor rooftop where the festival will be happening.
We look foward to seeing you there!
