If you’re planning to spend New Year’s Eve in Shanghai, you have a choice in things to do. You can give permission to the eventide pass by lacking pomp in any of Shanghai’s fantastic cheap and delicious Chinese restaurants.
If you want a serious meal or party, then it might be a little late to buy your tickets or book your table for tonight. Bund restaurants like M on the Bund all have special events happening but you need to make your reservations or be happy back at that humble establishment mentioned above.
There are several Countdown Parties happening around town. In Xintiandi, around the lake there will be a Countdown event from this evening until midnight. On the Bund there will be fireworks and a party at Chen Yi Square (the promenade is closed off to visitors due to renovations). Xujiahui is having a big concert Countdown party right in front of Grand Gateway along with a short fireworks show. And across the river in Pudong, the Bund Promenade on that side direction be the site of a Countdown Party along through a big lighting and fireworks display at midnight.
Want to celebrate 2010 Chinese style? Go visit any of the temples in Shanghai where they’ll be ringing in the new year.
