This year we came to Shanghai for some Christmas mood. It’s definitely something to plan ahead of time. As the biggest fair tickets were sold out before we knew it. So our Christmas Eve we got to spend at the small Christmas Fair from Zeitgeist in our favorite Jingan temple area. There were a few vendors selling handcrafts and souvenirs. But the highlight of the fair was definitely food! So many things to try. Those Dutch Pies were on top of our list for sure. If you go next year go hungry! #christmasevent #Shanghaievent

Pistolera is a popular Mexican food restaurant in Shanghai. This branch is the new location for West Nanjing, next to the Portman Ritz-Carlton hotel. During the day, Pistolera is a great restaurant to visit for brunch. Very little people and delicious food, during the night it becomes a crowded and fun place to hangout with your friends. If you like to consider a brunch date (specially if is a blind date), this is a perfect spot. Gives you the privacy you want, in a safe location (for inside the building and many people moving around). My favorite dish in Pistolera is the Tortilla soup, a taste from home. Any margarita jar is great for your brunch, to keep the conversation going without drinking too much. Now, if you want dessert, go for the churros with ice cream 🍨. Very sweet, but very good! 📍 No.1266, Nanjing West Road Jing’an #restaurantweek #restaurant #artgallery #mall #foodieheaven #foodie #foodietrip #food #dessert #cocktail #nightphotoguide #shanghaistyle #shanghaicuisine #shanghaievent #shanghai #city #citytopics #citylife #cityneversleeps #cityscape #criskotsu #mexicanstyle #mexicanfood #tacos #dessert #roadtrip#café#romanticrestaurant#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Songjiang district is a beautiful area in Shanghai, not well-known by people despite this was the town that originated Shanghai city. The deer is the symbol of this district. Songjiang Xincheng Gold Street is a beautiful area that comprises many shops, restaurants, commercial malls and small amusement area. Streets are pedestrians-only. Perfect for one day-trip. Songjiang Gold Street go from Rongyue Rd to Guangxing Rd, now covering all block. Pedestrian streets are wide, probably to held stands during seasonal festivals in the area. During weekends, amusement area with cute cars, wheels and train are very popular with the kids. Most shops seems to be quite small but modern design, clothing shops look fancy. More than restaurants, ice cream shops and ice tea shops were the ones bringing my attention, but this very hot afternoon made me biased. Nevertheless, was a nice stroll in this part of the city! 📍 Rongyue Road 208 Long, Songjiang #summervacationtravel #songjiang #shanghai #shanghaistyle#shanghaiexhibits #shanghaievent #citylife #cityoverlook #citytopics #cityscape #summervibes #criskotsu #summervacationtravel#themeparks#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Fuyue Hotel is one of the biggest hotels in Shanghai, with enough capacity to receive over 1,500 people for a given event. When you enter, you first get to admire the palm trees and a gorgeous fountain mid lobby. Rooms are big and clean, although a bit expensive (~700RMB per night). There are three restaurants available in 1st (buffet style) and 2nd floors (seafood🦞). Food is quite good, specially the pastry (and I don’t even like desserts🍰). Many different dishes are available, noddles and rice as basic staples, and fruit to refreshing your stomach after eating so much. Fuyue offers a gymnasium and a swimming pool, perfect for these summer days. Something I found absolutely surprising was to find a KTV in 2F. This hotel feels like indoors city. Additionally, Songjiang’s waterfront and few commercial malls and restaurants are available a few steps away from main door. 📍 Rongyue Road 208 Long, Songjiang #hotel #hotelcation #hotelexperience #holidayhotel #holidayvacation #summer #conference #event #couplestrip #shanghaistyle#shanghaicuisine #shanghaiexhibits #criskotsu #shanghaievent #cityneversleeps #citytopics #citylife #songjiang #summervacation#urbanexplorer

From June 17 to June 27 you will find a small art exhibition in FOR Tianwu Space. This exhibition is open to any visitor, free of charge. Art introduces a few artists, with an unexpected variety of styles. Although the exhibition is in an open glass room to attract the attention of pedestrians, the amount of light exposed makes it a bit difficult to appreciate (and capture). Many reflections and distractions. Outside the room, the black & white art made me curious. Adeliana’s draws of Frida Kahlo we’re de ones that brought my attention first. Most of the art belongs to German artists. Nevertheless, my favorite is the Black queen 👑. Simple, and yet inspiring. Likewise, the stormtrooper with the fries made me smile. This art is available for purchasing. Prices vary depending on art and artists. 📍 No.2108, Yanggao Middle Road, Pudong #artgallery #arttrip #artwork #exhibit #gallery #criskotsu #citylife #shanghaiexhibits #shanghai #shanghaievent #frida #shanghaistyle #art #artexhibit#artgallery#summervacation#urbanexplorer

For a weekend stroll around Shanghai, I decided to visit a place in Fangdian Road (that seems to be closed). However, found a nice surprise right outside Exit 3 of metro: a street market. This market is mostly selling jewelry and accessories. Both jewelry stands are very popular with girls, that pass around and try the earrings or necklaces. The tea stand is quite nice, specially the red tea. You get to decide how much or even mix different teas to make your own blend. Additionally, my big surprise was to find few pets for sell. You find little cute birds 🐦 , bunnies 🐰, tiny hamsters 🐹, tow types of 🐢 and baby ducks 🦆. Some of the turtles were so tiny! This is the first time I see such pet store in the open in China. I did felt sorry for the birds, they should be free, not in cages. If you have some free time during this weekend, I’ll suggest you to come an visit. I just love these kind of markets. And even if this one is small, kids get super excited with the animals (you are allowed to touch some of them). #streetshots #streetmarket #shanghaistyle #shanghaiexhibits #shanghaievent #criskotsu #weekendrecommendations #weekend #walkingaround #walkingstreet #eventcelebration #streetshots #cityoverlook #citylife #easylife#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer

For event fans like me, we could find LatinLand Festival last few weekends, and the upcoming BeerNations 🍺 upcoming festival for beer lovers. These events take place for several weekends of June and July in Alacheng shopping mall. My hibiscus mezcal cocktail was perfect to enjoy sunny Sunday afternoon and Latin music. Mezcal is directly imported from Mexico (but has no worm, sadly). Many people were open to dance, play games and see Latin dance shows like salsa and Brazilian samba. Great gathering for groups of friends and families. Clowns show made the kids very excited. There are also several food and craft shops, not only Latin American owned. If you missed, don’t worry. You can either join BeerNations or wait til next year. Beer stands are already available. After party is suggested to be in LatinLand bar (Jing’an). 📍 Xianfeng Street No.66, Minhang Shanghai China #event #shanghai #sunday #shanghaistyle #latinfood #latinamerica #latinmusic #shanghaievent #weekendrecommendations #latinstyle #mezcal #dance #festival #criskotsu #cityoverlook#eventcelebration#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Looking for a place where to watch the European Football (soccer) Championship 2021 ⚽️🏆? For soccer fans, these are important days, and finding good spot to enjoy the matches is essential. Then, come to Commune! There are few places in Shanghai that project the matches on full screen, although Commune includes channel’s sport commentators to submerge you in full experience (in Chinese). You can additionally enjoy drinks and great food. For this summer night we tried Green Temptation drink and I shall say it’s AMAZING. However, be careful, feels like a delicious mint fresh icy drink and rum is hard to distinguish (will easily get you drunk without noticing). 📍Guoding Road 333 Haosan Haowan Square Floor 1 No. F147, Yangpu #bar #pub #shanghai #foodie #foodieheaven #food #drinks #shanghaistyle #shanghaievent #soccer #football #eurocup #citylife #restaurant #criskotsu #rum #summertime #summerdays #café#romanticrestaurant#roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer

Magnum Ice Cream brand made a cute colorful exhibition in Jinjiang Shopping Center. Entrance is free of any cost. Perfect for all ages, and cute pictures. No ice cream inside, unfortunately. Magnum exhibit was a nice surprise this Sunday afternoon, enjoying the small rooms and designs, reminded me artwork from TeamLab. Definitely a good place to enjoying a few minutes of nice art work with your friends or family. Although exhibition was small, art pieces in different rooms were interesting, including those three rooms with motion artwork. It was a fun experience! 📍 Huaihai Middle Road No.527 Shanghai Jinjiang International Shopping Center, Huangpu #shanghai #shanghaistyle #shanghaiexhibits #shanghaievent #magnum #icecream #exhibit #floralshow #event #artexhibit #artwork #art #weekendrecommendations #cityscape #citylife #cute #loveflowers#besttrip#summerdays#urbanexplorer

This weekend, Shanghai holds its famous World’s Coffee Cultural Festival in Jing’an district. Therefore, I decided to go on a quest to try different coffee shops and stands. This festival is only open for three days, although most of the stands are coffee shops you can visit afterwards. KOI Thé is a worldwide franchise with few locations in Shanghai. This branch in Wujiang Rd is actually a small quite place to sit down after shopping. Specially if you fancy either a bubble tea, a cute and delicious dessert or simply an afternoon coffee. This cute little shop gives you the option to buy blended coffee for home, brand products or Koi Plus original cold brew teas. As for me, I was delighted by the beautiful bear-shaped cupcakes (white and dark), rainbow 🌈 cake and matcha 🍵 mousse cakes. There was not many desserts options due to weekend afternoon crowds. I do like the fact they had marked every cake 🍰 with baking and expiration date (2 days), with shows they care about quality and client service. 📍 Wujiang Rd.

This weekend, Shanghai holds its famous World’s Coffee Cultural Festival in Jing’an district. Therefore, I decided to go on a quest to try different coffee shops and stands. Be aware this festival is only open for three days, although most of the stands are coffee shops you can visit afterwards. This annual festival is a must visit this weekend. Due to pandemic, 2020 event was cancelled, therefore all efforts were focused on bring to life this fun event. For a hot summer day, having many ice coffee options and see so many great drinks was a life saver after. So many different coffee or coffee-flavored drinks available. This first picture is from Paras, a very refreshing pineapple coconut ice black (quite like mixing espresso and a piña colada). Perfect sourness of the espresso and sweet coconut cream. There are many shop presentations, demonstrations and games for all the family. I was surprised to find Central America’s produced coffee. However, unsure about the Costa Rican one (maybe my coffee farmer upbringing makes me additionally picky and bias). Hope you have time to visit this weekend! The festival is open from 10am to 10pm. If not, don’t worry. I’ll definitely keep you informed for next year! 📍 HKRI Taikoo Hui shopping mall (No.789 Nanjing West Road) and Wujiang Rd.

Be aware this festival is only open for three days, although most of the stands are coffee shops you can visit afterwards. Nikko and ... it’s a big shop-cafe in Wujiang Rd. This is one of the places I find more curious, not only because this coffee shop sells vintage mugs, seeds and some coffee-related products, but also cactus 🌵 (yes, live plants) and clothes. All imported from Japan, and India. For these upcoming summer days, having a nice place that offers you coffee, nice ambience, nice view and Happy Hour, it’s more than anything you can ask. Great location for any given moment of the day. 📍 Shimen Rd, in front of HKRI Taikoo Hui shopping mall (No.789 Nanjing West Road).

This festival is only open for three days, although most of the stands are coffee shops you can visit afterwards. Bon Matín (Good Morning) bakery is a super cute French shop in Wujiang Rd that you must visit. Pastry is absolutely adorable, children get crazy with the chocolate bear cupcakes 🧁 🐻, I got crazy with the delicious garlic bread baguette. Definitely a place to visit if you want a quick dessert or you want to make someone happy (this includes yourself 😉). This bakery is mainly take out, but rest calm you won’t regret it. Personally, I adore those coffee shops/bakeries were you walk in front of it and get seduce by it’s smell, so you are forced to go inside. Even more if I realize they have baguettes (my favorite type of bread). 📍 Wujiang Rd.

Although it’s main language is Chinese, organizers won’t limit international participants to join. Considering pandemic, this is my first participation in this conference to present my work. During the conference, 10 ballrooms divided in two floors (2F & 3F), simultaneously available for continuous presentations. All rooms are extremely crowded (fortunately, Shanghai has no earthquake risk). Additionally, in third floor there are a display of scientific magazines, scientific brands reaching to universities and laboratories, and the Posters Hall. Posters (in English and Chinese) are hold during the morning, and display in the afternoon. During the night are taken down, and next day new posters become available.
