Got your tickets yet? If you’re leaving town for Spring Festival, good luck. We’ve seen the queues amassing already outside the ticket booths. Much as we love the idea of heading to the mountains, we’re also tempted to stay put and watch Shanghai turn into Ghost Metropolis.
However, there’s still another week until New Year, and there’s lots to do. On stage there’s a dance show homage to 1930s Shanghai bad girl Zhou Xuan, and some new exhibitions are opening across town. See our stage and art listings for details.
And if you want to know who is winning the rotisserie chicken face-off, read this week’s dining blog.
Don't forget - you can follow us on Twitter and join our Facebook group, and our newsletter will be back up and running soon.

DINING
Open Door: Urban Soup Kitchen
The buzz: Healthy soups and salads, delivered to your door.The décor: We called for delivery instead of visiting the shop, but we walked past it the other day, and it is a cute, compact, brick-walled, lino-floored, clean-looking little nook. Definitely good for a sit-down lunch if you’re in the Xintiandi area.
