The artful creations for the Western holiday, such as a spider, a bloody gash and skulls, cheered up the customers who dressed up and were made up like “ghosts” or “monsters”.

"I got the chance to attend the party as a member of ‘La luna’ organization. The party is great and has provided a good channel for me to introduce myself to Xiamen and also get foreign people together to enjoy Xiamen life,”said Jan Kjaerlund, who comes from Denmark and has been doing business in Xiamen for one year.
