Travel Guides & Tips in this video

Mike and Ashley spend their first Christmas in China at Chengdu's LuxeTown Christmas Market. The market is Tuscany-inspired and run by a German company, combining European-style stalls with a Chinese setting. They look for mulled wine, sample snacks and have beef stew for Christmas dinner. Their plan to find each other gifts is harder than expected because there are fewer craft and trinket stalls than they hoped, but Mike finds Ashley reindeer antlers. They also use WeChat Pay during the visit and share observations about the market's vendors and decorations.

Christmas at LuxeTown Market

Mike and Ashley celebrate their first Christmas in China at the LuxeTown Christmas Market in Chengdu. The market is described as Tuscany-inspired and run by a German company. They explore its festive stalls and search for mulled wine, which they eventually find. The couple sample snacks as they walk around and talk with vendors and local visitors. The setting combines a European-style Christmas market with the Chinese city around it.

They also look for Christmas gifts for one another. There are fewer craft and trinket vendors than they had expected, so the search is more difficult than planned. Mike eventually finds Ashley a pair of reindeer antlers, which she enjoys. The visit includes WeChat Pay, and the couple take time to work through the payment system as they buy items. The market's advertised vendors are not all present on the day they visit, another detail they notice while moving between stalls.

A Christmas Eve meal

For dinner, Mike and Ashley settle on beef stew at a bistro within the market. The dish reminds one of them of a family pot roast, giving the meal a personal association far from home. They describe the evening as warm and enjoyable despite the challenges of finding particular gifts and stalls. The video captures their first Christmas away from the United States through food, drinks, shopping and their reactions to the market.

They end their first Christmas in China with beef stew at the market bistro, after a day of mulled wine, snacks and gift hunting at LuxeTown.
