Famous Dishes
Going on the holidays? You will probably eat a whole fish, sticky cake, and enough meat filled dumplings for the entire year! For the Dragon Boat day, the locals eat dumplings filled of pork, beans, and eggs. During the Moon Festival, try a moon cake , just like a regular cake, with lotus nuts, duck yolk, and baked until golden brown. If this is your first, second, or third time in Shanghai, you will become or still fall in love with Shanghai's cuisine

Shanghai's Activities and Holidays
New Year takes place at the end of January and the beginning of February , and it is about the death of a old year and the birth of a new one. Drift along the Huangpu River on a cruise and watch the city as it lights up like the 4th of July sky at night. On National Day watch the jaw-dropping dances . Watch the boats race across the open water on Dragon Boat day that is intended to " scare " the fishes away , so they won't eat the politician who died cause nobody used his ideas to save China. Shanghai has more of these awesome events.
