Bearing a strong resemblance to the Pudong store in Shangai and the Fifth Avenue store in New York, the majority of the new Chongqing location resides under street level, with a massive glass structure, featuring the Apple logo, hiding a staircase down to lower levels. The company is timing the new location's opening, and a handful of others, to coincide with the Chinese New Year festivities hitting next month.

Apple has been steadily opening more and more retail locations across China, pushing unique marketing campaigns - like the Hangzhou store's calligraphy video or Chongqing's own art mural - to drum up more overseas interest in Apple. In a statement made last October, Tim Cook said the company hopes to open 25 Apple Stores in China within the next two years.

Don't be ignorant. Chongqing is like Seattle. Always raining.
Looks like it's been raining, can't have rain without CLOUDS.
Interesting that Genius Bar is autocapitalized.
