A month ago, some restaurants and entertainment venues launched a menu or entertainment for Halloween.

With a little attention to the performance market of China's financial capital, it can be felt that Christmas has indeed arrived: the theatrical Christmas ghost night written by Tim Burton, Tchaikovsky's classic ballet "Nutcracker" and the Christmas Concert hosted by the local jazz troupe are coming on Christmas day.

Carol Lee, manager of the Lawrys, the manager of the American top grade beef ribbed restaurant in Xintiandi, Shanghai's most famous leisure and entertainment place, introduces roast duck, lobster, all kinds of Christmas desserts and wines, which cost about $87 per person.

For those customers who like to spend their Christmas Eve at home but don't want to cook their own dishes, we prepare roast duck, which can be taken either by themselves or by free meals.

Carol Lee said.

70% of the customers in this restaurant are foreigners working in Shanghai. They usually choose to stay in Shanghai during the Christmas holidays.

Although most Chinese do not believe in religion, this important festival, which belongs to Christianity, is in the most important position in Shanghai, a cosmopolitan city that converts people from all over the world.

According to official data released in 2008, there are 152 thousand and 100 foreign permanent residents in Shanghai.

Liu Fan, a 18 year old girl who was born in Anhui province of China, lives in Shanghai with her boyfriend.

She believes that most Chinese do not believe in God, so the meaning of Christmas here is shopping, dinner and parties.

In my hometown of Anhui, people do not have Christmas, but people living in Shanghai are very rich. They have money to buy gifts, so the whole city is celebrating the festival. Liu Fan said my boyfriend and I hung some stockings full of small gifts at home.

Since December 1st, the new world of lanterns and lanterns has entered.

The commercial centre of Hang Lung Plaza on the Nanjing Road, the most famous commercial street in Shanghai, entered the promotion season at the beginning of the month.

A huge Christmas tree was placed at the entrance of the shopping mall, and the entrance to the shopping mall was romantically decorated with colorful paper roses.

Lu, who was at University in Shanghai, said she would have a party with her friends on Christmas Eve. She said, "this city is so beautiful that it is full of festival atmosphere everywhere. I like Christmas very much."
