Twenty years ago, who would have thought that Shanghai would be full
of modern shopping malls? Who would have thought that Shanghai would put
up Christmas trees, lights and decorations to celebrate Christmas? Thanks to the open policy, Western culture has influenced China's major trade port, Shanghai, once again.

Apart from the fact that there are a growing number of Westerners in
Shanghai, property developers from Hong Kong helped to bring the modern
Christmas culture from Hong Kong to China.
Most modern shopping malls in Shanghai are jointly built and operated
by Hong Kong property developers. As you would discover from our blog,
they like to set up Christmas decorations, trees and lights in a modern
fashion.
In my recent visit to Shanghai, I have visited several shopping
malls. It is evident that this Hong Kong influence has uplifted
Shanghai's Christmas spirit! Christmas lights and trees from the
Xujiahui area and Nanjing Road Shopping areas are prime examples of this
positive change.
