1st floor is filled with toys and artificial flowers. 2nd floor is for jewelry. 3rd floor is for jewelry accessories, art & crafts.

4th floor is different. It's only for factories to set up their own outlets centers, so you will only find outlets center on this floor. They are real factories, but the variety is also limited.
