Hear about the red phoenix? It brings luck and fortune, you know. The Pearl managed to rope on, either metaphorically or metaphysically, we're not sure, but they're inviting Shanghai to show up in their finest red & gold finery, sip cocktails and count down to 2019. Doors open at 7pm, there's a fire show, face- and body-painting, games with prizes from 8pm, Chad Romero and the Red Stars taking stage at 9pm. Plus balloon drops and confetti cannons! Tickets include a glass of sparkling wine and canapés all night, it's 288rmb pre-sale on SmartTicket.
