You won’t believe this store selling snacks and drinks while hanging on the side of a cliff!
Photo from Weibo
This store was dubbed the world’s “most inconvenient” convenience store. For you to reach it, customers must first climb up the cliff. It’s on a cliff face, 393 feet or 120 meters above the ground. It sounds ridiculous, but that’s the truth!
Based on the Chinese state media outlet, this convenience store is stocked with various retail goods such as drinks and snacks. Only one worker was assigned the whole shift, and somebody also reported that the store employee was a professional rock climber. The fantastic thing is, the price is not high! Indeed this store is very unique.

A worker has opened his sentiments,
“The store doesn’t make much money, but the tourists are very grateful for it, so we all feel like our jobs are very meaningful,”
In the Hunan province in China, 120 metres (393 feet) up the side of a cliff
There is a shop
It supplies climbers with essential snacks, refreshments, and sustenance during their ascent. Workers replenish the store using ziplines, to offer a unique shopping experience with this… pic.twitter.com/ZmOnFzMOZO
This store received tons of good feedback from different mountainers. They greatly appreciate the convenience of being able to get their supplies without having to climb down the mountain.
This store is in a mountain of Shiniuzhai National Geological Park in Hunan province. According to CGTN, a state-run foreign-language news channel base in Beijing, China, it began its operation in 2018.
When it comes to comfortable and durable footwear, slippers are an undeniable essential in every Filipino household. The juxtaposition of sun and rain in our country bears a heavy burden on our feet; at the end of a long day, we often dive feet first into something simple like slippers!
However, beneath the cushioned comfort lies a question: What is footwear made of? How does it affect our surroundings?
Well, PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride is a synthetic plastic polymer which is commonly used in the production of slippers due to its versatility. PVC footwear is lightweight and easy to slip on and off. They are available in a wide range of colors and designs, making it easy to match your style and preferences. Additionally, PVC has an advantage in wet environments, as they are less likely to absorb water compared to rubber. With these benefits in mind, Ipanema still considers its impact on the environment and pushes sustainability towards its manufacturing process.
Let’s take a look.
Ipanema is proudly and authentically made in Brazil, where our teams are committed in reducing waste and ensuring a sustainable production. Ipanema’s factories are certified at the maximum level by Brazilian Association of Textile Retail (ABVTEX) and SUSTAINABLE ORIGIN which pass the Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA) global audit every year. This means, the working conditions in terms of labor, health, safety, environment and business ethics are of the highest standard.

Since 2013, Ipanema has reduced energy consumption per pair by 13% and has already reduced its waste generation by 57%. This is equivalent to powering 8,600 homes for 5 years or less 4,274 tons of carbon. Water consumption has also been reduced by 31% with 80% of it treated and reused. This represents 400,000 m³ of water, equivalent to 161 Olympic swimming pools.
(Literally) At the bottom of it, your Ipanema pairs are made of an innovative, upgraded form of PVC called Flexpand that ensures comfort, flexibility and durability are achieved on the footbed and toe straps. Each pair is:
VEGAN
Does not contain any component of animal origin nor is it tested on animals. Our footwear is Vegan Society certified.
RECYCLABLE
All products are 100% recyclable and are hypoallergenic.
UP TO 30% RECYCLED
Made with 30% pre-consumer recycled material and reused leftovers from its production.
ECO-FRIENDLY PRODUCTION
Produced in factories that use renewable, clean energy and produce low carbon emission.
MADE IN BRAZIL
100% authentic and made in Brazil.
ETHICAL WORK
Made in factories where ethical working conditions and fair wages for all employees are guaranteed.

Sustainable slippers represent a meaningful stride towards a more eco-friendly and socially conscious world. By reimagining materials, manufacturing processes, and labor practices, Ipanema showcases the potential for positive change within the fashion industry. As we step into a greener future, choosing sustainably made footwear isn’t just about comfort for our feet – it’s about walking in alignment with the values of sustainability and creating a more harmonious world for generations to come.

In celebration of its upcoming Fifth Anniversary, realme Philippines is once again upending the midrange segment with the bestselling realme Number Series with its latest additions that include the realme 11 Pro+ 5G and realme 11 Pro 5G.
Launching via livestream this August 24 at 4PM on Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, the realme 11 Pro Series 5G will enable fans to experience #TheWorldUpClose through major leaps in design and technology.
Here are three reasons to get you all geared up ahead of launch!
1. It bears the Master Design of an Italian artist
Following realme’s No Leap, No Launch global mantra, the realme 11 Pro Series 5G was designed in collaboration with Matteo Menotto, a former Gucci Prints Designer and Bulgari’s Head of Design for Prints. Its design inspiration evokes the feeling of holding a luxury item in the palm of your hand, with the understated elegance that comes with seasoned travel and appreciation for art.
Its Premium Vegan Leather Design completes the tactile experience of carrying the smartphone as your daily driver, with matching neutral colors to go along with any outfit: Sunrise Beige and Oasis Green for both of the smartphones in the Series. Meanwhile, the realme 11 Pro 5G will come with a third color variant: the Astral Black.

2. It’s built with a flagship-level camera
Following the design, its next biggest head-turner is the back module, wherein the realme 11 Pro+ 5G houses a powerful 200MP OIS SuperZoom Camera. This camera setup is perfect for mobile photography and taking high-resolution videos due to its advanced sensor and the software optimizations already built-in the default camera app.
Complementing the impressive shooter is the 4X Lossless In-Sensor Zoom capability, which directly translates to cleaner, more defined snaps even from far away.
On the flip side, the realme 11 Pro 5G utilizes a 100MP OIS ProLight Camera that brings 2X Zoom Technology that can capture sharper outtakes when compared to normal digital zooms. This is because the photos are made punchier and true-to-life with realme UI’s ProLight Imaging Technology and features called HyperShot Imaging Architecture 2.0 that optimizes the production of images taken through its three components: Quickshot Acceleration Engine, a Hypershot Imaging or the Image Fusion Engine, and Color Boost Engine.

The company is now testing a new feature dubbed “SGE (Search Generative Experience)” while browsing that will allow users to hover over specific phrases to preview meanings and related diagrams or images. This will make it easier to investigate and comprehend new ideas and go further into a subject.
