Buying Christmas trees (that aren't fake) in Shanghai

Shanghaiist is getting in the holiday mood--it's December, it's cold, and Christmas gifts are beginning to be bought! (Though not by us. We've thought about it--does that count?)

We can't write long, as we're about to head out to a fun, festive holiday dinner at -- Dongbeiren? Well, we are Shanghaiists after all.

Before we go though, we want to share a tip our friend Ryan shared with us regarding the ultimate holiday accessory ... a Christmas tree!

Christmas trees -- real trees -- are available for sale at the Yongjia Flower Market, located (counter-intuitively, of course) on Shaanxi Nan Lu No. 406, near Fuxing Lu (陕西南路406号在复兴中路).

There may be other sellers, but we know of one. Here are the details:

Ms. Zhu Ye, Tel: 51581331 or 13023189560, Second Floor, Stall No. 2-17

What you get:

A 6 ft tree (Ryan said, "Real tree. Not pine, tho. Pine look-a-like"), three poinsettia plants, and two wreaths for 330 RMB. Delivery is free.

Thanks for the tip, Ryan!
