Christmas is just around the corner. Here's where to pick up a tree in Shanghai without resorting to Taobao (though we have a round up of the best trees available there too - see our website for details)
Chun Yu
From fairy lights (40RMB) to grand three-metre high fir trees (between 2,000-3000RMB), Pudong’s Chun Yu Flower Shop is well-prepared for Christmas. Prices are about 700-800RMB for a 1.5 metre-high tree (300-500RMB for a fake one) and they will even deliver to your door (from 50RMB).
Ikea
The Swedish flatpack behemoth has a great supply of Christmas decorations and fake plastic trees at bargain prices. You can buy a classic 155cm- or 180cm-high artificial Fejka tree for 149RMB or 299RMB respectively, or for smaller apartments, there is a half-metre potted version for 69RMB. Ikea also offer a wide range of hanging ornaments and decorations, including bumper packs of 50 red baubles or 56 golden coloured adornments for 99RMB.
Rosa Gallica
The ritzy florist on Ferguson Lane (and now on Jianguo Lu, near Yueyang Lu) has gotten into the Yuletide spirit this year with a selection of trees starting at a 1.5-metre-high number for 550RMB and more for two metres at just 700RMB. Additionally, they provide a 'bundle' service including a two-metre-high tree with the ornaments to boot for a total price of 1,200RMB.
Secret Garden
Find a selection of fake trees at 1.5 metres (560RMB), 1.8 metres (900RMB) and 2.1 metres (1,200RMB). They also offer free delivery within Shanghai.
