　　restaurants，and a number of arts aiad leisure centrgs．There is also a football team，whose colours are green and yellow．The team is known as"The Canaries(金丝雀)"，though nobody call be sure why．

　　Now the city's attractions include another important development，a modem shopping center called'The Castle Mall'．The people of Norwich lived with a very 1arge hole in the middle of their for over two years，as builders dug up the main car park．Lorries moved nearly a million tons of earth so that the roof of the Mall could become a city centre park．with attractive water pools and hundreds of trees．But the local people are really pleased that the old open market remains．right in the heart of the city and next to the new development . Both areas continue to do good business．proving that Norwich has managed to mix the best of the old and the new．
