December has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the footsteps of Christmas are gradually approaching. If you don't want to travel far, spending Christmas in Shenzhen might be a good option.
Recently, shopping malls in Shenzhen have changed into Christmas costumes. Giant Christmas trees, ultra-realistic snow scenes, and dreamy candy houses have all been set up!
What are the must-see spots?
Christmas spots｜Shenzhen MixC Qianhai
Located in Shenzhen's Nanshan District, the shopping mall MixC Qianhai (萬象前海) always highlights unique artistic themed decorations.
This Christmas, the mall has transformed into a pure white "Realm of Ice and Snow," allowing citizens to experience a fairy tale-like romantic atmosphere.
Titled "Realm of Ice and Snow," the ice and snow exhibition at MixC Qianhai covers 14,000 square feet, where the area is filled with artificial snow.
It features winter scenes and installations such as ice waterfalls, snow tents, snow bunnies, and "frosted snow top" glass houses, making it a northern winter forest!
At the same time, during specific time periods, the exhibition area will also spray artificial snow to create a snowy effect.
Even if you don't go to the northern region of China, you can easily see the "snow". It is sure to give everyone a memorable "Southern Snow Village" experience.

Christmas spots｜A PARK in Shenzhen's Xiameilin
Next stop, we come to the Shenzhen version of "Nan Fung Textile Mills" — A PARK Digital Art Park (A PARK數字藝術公園) in Xiameilin (下梅林), Futian District.
A PARK, which just opened this year, was actually transformed from an electronics factory.
It is a new hotspot in Shenzhen, featuring seven buildings including a slow-oxygen garden, a red brick town, a clockwork factory, a beautiful camp, and a theatre courtyard.
This Christmas, A PARK has transformed into a fairy tale world full of Nordic charm.
In the central outdoor plaza of the park stands a giant gingerbread house adorned with various Christmas candies, bows, and "frosting" decorations, making it look so delicious that you can't help but want a bite!
The A PARK gingerbread house is actually a pop-up coffee house by a coffee brand. In addition to taking photos outside, you can also enter the store to buy sweets and drinks.
There are many Christmas photo spots inside, creating a perfect festive atmosphere. Friends who love exploring and taking photos should not miss it!
