START saving now - there's a shopping carnival ahead.
A three-week long festival in Jing'an District in Shanghai, from September 12 to October 5, will bring top international brands and traditional businesses together. There's more entertainment in store with cooking competitions for expats, the district government said yesterday.
The carnival is part of the Second Shanghai Shopping Festival, and malls like Westgate, Plaza 66 and Citic Square on Nanjing Road W. will stock up for the big event, said Lu Xiaodong, who is deputy head of Jing'an District.
At least 20 expats will take part in a cooking competition on September 22 at Meilongzhen Restaurant, an authentic Shanghai food joint, said Ye Jianhua, who works with the district economic commission. Expats will try their hand at traditional Shanghai cuisine after getting lessons from Chinese chefs in making dumplings, wontons and spring rolls.
The district government will also invite administrators from New York, London and Tokyo to attend a forum. They will seek suggestions for improving Nanjing Road - a major commercial and tourist zone of Shanghai.
