St. Patrick's Day...in China?:
The Chinese have no history of celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Ask a regular man on the street and he probably wouldn't know what you were talking about. That said, what started in 2007 has become an annual event and this year, Irish Week (March 13-17) is bigger than ever.
With Shanghai's Irish residents swelling to over 300, there's a critical mass for a parade that will swing through the local neighborhood around Xintiandi. It should be fun for the whole family.
