It is that time of the year again, and love it or hate it, it is there to remind us of its impending arrival everywhere we go. Here is a collection of pictures that capture Shanghai's Christmas, this year.

In just three hours ago from a Reuters report:Three underground priests - Liang Aijun, Wang Zhong and Gao Jinbao - who have been unwilling to join China's Catholic Patriotic Church have been detained by plain clothes police in Inner Mongolia, having fled there from neighboring Hebei province, a Catholic stronghold.

What a weekend—the Shanghaiist Halloween Party was a blast! We loved the diverse crowd and friendly vibe. (Local residents, who contacted the police about the noise, were rather less enthused.) We’ll start planning for the next event soon — when we nail down the details, we’ll be sure to let you know. Any suggestions on places to go?

the Duolun Museum of Modern Art at 2 pm. You can get a chance to ask question or chat with the director after the screening. Check out director Shu Haolun's blog for more information as well as a couple of interesting interviews about how he decided to make this film, how he decided to become a documentary filmmaker, etc.

Shanghaiist doesn't drink much (okay, the occasional snifter of brandy at Christmas), and we don't keep a lot of progressive trance on our iPod (none, in fact), but we've enjoyed enough nights on the tiles in Shanghai to speak with some confidence about the different clusters of clubs and bars in this city.

On a recent stroll around the Duolun Lu area in Shanghai’s north, we stumbled across a clothing store that aroused our interest, not only for its collection of black leather slip-on shoes with a little metal badge on the side (never seen those in Shanghai …), but for its name and logo.

If you are sitting around trying to figure out what to do in Shanghai until Mike Tyson arrives, we highly suggest you head on over to Shanghai Duolun Museum of Modern Art to check out the Basquiat Retrospective, which runs until April 10. It's a fantastic way to get lost for an hour or two, to recharge your creative juices, or simply enjoy being surrounded by someone else's.

It’s official, Xintiandi is the most popular entertainment street (even though it's not really a street) in the city according to 80 percent of respondents in a survey. Thirteen thousand votes were taken by mail, Internet and telephone from locals as well as “people from other places,” according to Shanghai Star (Nov. 10 print edition). We’re not sure if that means tourists, foreigners or aliens, but we do get a sneaking suspicion that the people surveyed were either a) relatively wealthy or b) mesmerized by the beauty of McCafe. The top streets also included Nanjing pedestrian street, most likely chosen by the “people from other places”; Binjiang Dadao, along the Huangpu River in Pudong; Duolun Lu, which houses art, old books, coffee shops and buildings from the early 20th century; the Bund and cultural streets like Meichuan Lu, North Street in Zhujiajiao (also known as the town where they throw goldfish over a bridge), Qibao Old Street and Fangbang Zhong Lu, near Yu Garden. We’d like to take this moment to thank those who gave the survey for providing us with a complete list of places to avoid during the next public holiday.
