Yes, it's that time of year again. This week sees a number of Shanghai's Christmas markets open their doors hoping to entice hordes of punters to spend, spend, spend.
First out of the gates is the imaginatively titled The Christmas Market at Shanghai Centre on Thursday 26, quickly followed by the Jingan Kerry's version just down the road from Friday 27.
Also opening on Friday is the Shanghai Medieval Christmas Fair (because nothing says 'festive joy' like the Middle Ages) - that one's located near Xuhui Riverside, where Storm Festival was, and run by the same people who put on last year's German Christmas Market in the same spot.
