Daning Life Hub

Chocolate is considered an aphrodisiac by some, making it an ideal gift on Valentine's Day. But you can impress that chocolate addict even more by making it yourself.

Couples can try their hands at making chocolate in the "Lovers' House" at the Daning Life Hub tomorrow.

The Life Hub's Katongni Amusement Park could be just the place for couples looking for a little more excitement. Dancing, basketball shooting, car racing and drumming are all on the agenda at the amusement park.

For a bite to eat, try Tangbaochaunqi (3387-0398), a new dim-sum bistro featuring dozens of traditional and innovative dumplings in different colors, shapes and fillings. Some of the favorites include smashed crab meat, ginseng, diced cucumbers and foie gras.

For couples looking for something quiet, relaxing and private, The Four Points by Sheraton Shanghai, Daning (2602-2222) offers a fragrance spa at TouchSpa on Valentine's Day. Immersed in the fragrance of essential oil and with soft gentle music around, you can spend the night in a relaxing way.

Not far from the Daning Life Hub, Shanghai Circus World is also a good place to spend the romantic day.

The multimedia spectacular "Era - Intersection of Time" may provide a memorable Valentine's night for lovers.

People who purchase tickets for "Era" on Valentine's Day will receive a free tiramisu dessert. The cast also invites lovers to send their names and personal feelings to service@era-shanghai.com. The best e-mails will be displayed on a giant "lovers' screen" during the show.

A special "proposal" section will be added to the performance. Lovers are encouraged to declare their love and devotion on stage while hundreds of spectators look on and give their best wishes.
