Shanghai's Christmas spirit is already at 99% — as of November 12, I've personally checked it out.

Shanghai is super quick. It's only mid-November, and many places have already started decorating for Christmas. If you want to avoid the holiday crowds, you can head over now to take photos. 🔸Ribone Cafe & Brunch Onita (Yuyuan Road) 🔸Onita (Yuyuan Road) 🔸APOLI ITABAKERY·AP (Xinhua Road) 🔸COVA (Xintiandi) 🔸CommonRare (Zhongshan Park) 🔸Ting Xia · Plantism (Danshui Road) 🔸Bread Coffee Good Weather (Yuyuan Road) 🔸diptyque (Xintiandi) 🔸Urban Flower (Changshu Road Subway Station Exit 4) 🔸Hengli International Building (West Nanjing Road) 🔸diptyque (Xintiandi) In addition to the places I've shared that are already decorated, here are some landmarks that are likely to have Christmas decorations soon. You can do some research in advance. 🌟Most malls, like Grand Gateway, Plaza 66, 1000 Trees, and MixC, will have elaborate Christmas decorations. 🍷Hotel lobbies, like those at the Peninsula, J Hotel, Park Hyatt, and Waldorf Astoria, usually have Christmas decorations too. Just remember not to disturb others. 🎄Hongqiao Flower Market sells all kinds of Christmas decorations, and it's a great place to take photos. 🌈Bund Origin Christmas Market: The largest German Christmas market every year, located at Central Plaza on East Nanjing Road. 🎆Disneyland is a must-visit every Christmas! If you don't want to buy a ticket to go inside, you can take photos at Disneytown outside. There are many beautiful Christmas trees every year!
