Shanghai: the Chinese City with the Most Halloween Atmosphere.

China has 34 provincial-level administrative regions. Among them, Shanghai is the city in China where Eastern and Western cultures blend most harmoniously, creating the "Haipai" culture, which embraces the idea of "inclusive and accommodating." Haipai culture respects diversity and individuality, balances personal and social interests. It is precisely because of Shanghai's inclusiveness, diversity, individuality, and international character that Halloween in Shanghai has developed its own unique style.
