Seven years ago, Starbucks closed a shop in Beijing’s Forbidden City after a well-known TV host talked about if the US coffee fits into the old Chinese building.
Five years later, Starbucks seemed to regain its confidence(自信). It opened a shop beside Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou with more than 1,600 years of history. People started to talk about it online. They were not sure if the coffee business would do bad to this old temple(庙).
Some people still think that the Starbucks shop should not be opened near temples. They think it is not only a coffee shop, but a cultural invasion(文化侵略). Let us take a look at the practices in other countries. In the Forbidden City of South Korea, Gyongbokkung Palace(景福宫), there are no food or drink stores, except the food-selling machine at the gate. In Japan, the place of interest may be taken away from the list of country’s treasure if it brings in modern shops.
However, many old sights in China try to look for a balance(平衡) between traditions and business. As for Nanjing, the Starbucks shop near the Confucius Temple has been there for years. Visitors are used to enjoying the sights and the coffee at the same time. The shop here plans to meet the need of growing numbers of foreign and younger Chinese visitors. There may be more win-win deals in the future like this.
