Last Night Before Chinese New Year’s Eve in Shanghai
We want to wish our friends, clients and design fans around the world a happy Chinese New Year! With the Year of the Horse upon us, we thought it might be fun to give everyone a taste of what Shanghai, China’s largest city, is like during this amazing time of year.
Though you might suspect it’d be busy and bustling, it’s actually quite the opposite; because so many of the city’s residents are migrants from elsewhere in the country who head home for the New Year holiday, the city can be eerily quiet. Shanghai locals celebrate the holiday in their own ways, including setting off amazing arrays of fireworks, putting up beautiful lighting displays, taking advantage of the lack of crowds to do some cleaning and even wearing red underwear. Have a look at these photos we took on a beautiful evening this week and see for yourself! To learn more about this fascinating holiday, check out our WILDCARDS installment on Chinese holiday traditions.
