A gingerbread wonderland has sprung up in the downtown Jing'ansi area.

The downtown Jing'ansi area has been gingered with a gingerbread fantasy of holiday cheer.

With the holiday season just around the corner, the southern outdoor square of the Jing'an Kerry Center has been transformed into a "Gingerbread Dreamland" with the return of the mall's traditional winter holiday pop-up fair.

Life-sized gingerbread houses stand in rows around a 20-meter-high tree, creating a wonderland of a snow-covered gingerbread village, adorned with festive elements such as candy canes, colored baubles, and red ribbons.

Installations of giant gingerbread men are everywhere at the fair for people to take photos with. There will also be parades of gingerbread men on December 9 and 10, and 16 and 17, together with a live music performance.
