  • How can we celebrate Christmas in China? The winter vibes are in full swing here in Shanghai. The weather in December is cold but dry and the smell of Christmas is in the air. For a country that historically doesn’t celebrate Christmas, it’s still possible to find German Christmas markets, real Christmas trees, and mulled wine and eggnog.
    This year we visited 3 different Christmas markets to show you what you can expect from Christmas in Shanghai. Unlike European Christmas markets, I’ll admit the ones here are smaller and cozier but I was still able to find hot apple cider, apple pie, and all the sweet treats of the festive season.
    Miu and I also celebrated our anniversary with a delicious dinner at Porto Matto near Jing’an and I managed to get my hands on 3 new books this month!

    圣诞节视频
    是不是很多人好奇中国是怎么庆祝圣诞节的?上海的冬季氛围慢慢洋溢起来,十二月的天气是寒冷而干燥的,但这就是圣诞氛围中不可或缺的一环不是么?对一个历史上不庆祝圣诞的国家来说,依然可以在国际化大都市的上海找到正宗的德国圣诞集市:真正的圣诞树、热红酒和蛋酒。
    今年我们体验了三个不同的圣诞集市,这可以让你有个充分的预期。与欧洲的圣诞市场不同,这里的规模相对较小,但麻雀虽小五脏俱全,依然能找到节日专属的食物和装饰。
    Miu和我还在静安寺附近的Porto Matto吃了一顿意大利菜来庆祝我们的周年纪念日。幸运的是,这个月我还获得了三本新书。如果你也对书类内容感兴趣,请查看Melissa的图书频道。
    如果屏幕前的你也庆祝圣诞,我们祝你和你的家人圣诞快乐,新年快乐。
    If you celebrate it, we wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. If not, we wish you a wonderful December ❤️❤️

    Thank you for sharing. Thank you for being in Shanghai China with Myu during Christmas this year. ❤ You and your friends celebrating together make this city and place more colorful and joyful. I hope you don't miss your family and the UK too much but I understand that you have to go there next year.

      In my impression, foreigners in Shanghai can apply for a library card at the Shanghai Library with their passport. Maybe you can try borrowing books from the Shanghai Library. They should have a wide collection of English books.@@ExpatNatt

      Ooh I love a good bao bun! This will be my third Christmas in China and it feels very strange not be home with family this time of year. Perhaps I will go back to England next Christmas. Many of my friends are flying “home” this Christmas. Merry Christmas to you ❤️

    Where do you buy English language books in shanghai?

    • @ExpatNatt
      @ExpatNatt  5 місяців тому

      There are a couple of bookstores, the main one I use is the “Foreign Language Bookstore” on Fuzhou road. They have the biggest selection of English Language books.
