Last week, Shanghai Mamas went to the 1862 Theatre to watch Wetmen 2, a show that needs no explanation, just appreciation for the arts 🎭 and… water. Lots of water ☔️

For International Mother’s Day, Shanghai Mamas gathered to celebrate in the most elegant way: by wearing the qipao and stepping into history. Our night began with a guided walking tour through the charming laneways of Longmen Cun, a historic neighborhood with charming houses built in 1935. We then arrived at the beautifully restored Ximan Flora Studio, where we mingled over a gorgeous spread sponsored by Epermarket and Oyster Bay wines, who also hosted a DIY wine glass charm activity, reminding us that mums are worth going to the ends of the earth for. The evening came alive with a soulful handpan performance by MUFASA, followed by laughter-filled comedy from Li Ying of Herlarious Club, who had us bonding over the joy of motherhood. Between photo sessions in our stunning qipao, we soaked in the beauty of femininity, heritage, and community, leaving with full hearts and beautiful memories.

What began as a small Yahoo group in 2006 has grown into a trusted community for moms in Shanghai, offering support, practical information, and a real sense of belonging at every stage of motherhood. Shanghai Mamas is run by volunteers who keep conversations flowing, organize events, and share resources that help international families feel at home in the city. It is a space built by moms, for moms, where connection comes naturally and support is always within reach.

Meet Tripti, our Mama of the Month!

Originally from Calcutta & Bombay, India - Tripti has been living in Shanghai for the last 5 years. She lives in the Changning district with her family.

Her favorite Shanghai Mamas event is the Book Club – she rarely misses a monthly meet-up! She also loves the Wellness Group activities (spas & facials) and the teen/tween group for insights. Her advice for newcomers to Shanghai... “Shanghai opens up slowly. Be patient and accept the city as it comes. Once you do, you will find warmth in the people and unexpected comfort in everyday moments.”

More about Tripti in the link in bio! Is there a mama you’d like to nominate for Mama of the Month? We want to hear from you! Send your recommendations to [email protected].
