<h3>What is Berlin Shanghai Night?</h3>The idea for Berlin Shanghai Night first came to life in 2022, in the middle of the pandemic, a time when many of us longed for connection, for home, and for shared culture. The plan was to make it a recurring event, but like many dreams, it was paused by global uncertainties. In March, 2025, we relaunched the ''Berlin Shanghai Night''.Berlin Shanghai Night is a social gathering that brings together people connected not only to Shanghai, but also to China at large—those who have lived there, worked there, loved it, missed it, or are simply curious to explore its vibrant soul.It’s a night to celebrate memories, encounters, and the ongoing cultural dialogue between Berlin and China. Through food, music, and conversation, we aim to (re)create the energy of Shanghai—a city where tradition meets modernity and where cultures converge effortlessly.Berlin Shanghai Night is not only about looking back; it's about reimagining the Shanghai spirit as something alive, evolving, and very much present—right here in Berlin.
