Xintiandi

Xintiandi is one of Shanghai’s more famous western areas. It consists of a 2 block area near downtown Puxi. This area has several western bars and restaurants and is very pretty in a stone building and cobblestone kind of way. Anne and I have only been there a couple of times for various reasons, but we were told we had to check out the Christmas decorations that were recently set up. We stopped by for brunch and a hot chocolate (Shanghai is experiencing an unusual cold stretch). It was interesting to learn that Santa’s Elves in Shanghai have purple uniforms compared with those in the states that tend to keep to green and red.
