Beloved Swedish character Pippi Longstocking is making her inaugural journey to China, with exhibitions at 10 Livat shopping malls nationwide. The Shanghai stop of the exhibition is being held in Changning district.

Pippi Longstocking fairy tale was created by renowned author Astrid Lindgren. The protagonist, Pippi, is celebrated for her optimism, courage, and extraordinary strength. With her distinctive freckles, carrot-colored hair, and mismatched outfits, she embodies a spirit of adventure and individuality.

The Shanghai exhibition at Changning Livat offers a range of interactive experiences. A towering Pippi sculpture stands outside Gate 2, portraying the energetic and adventurous spirit of this iconic character. Inside, children can search for gold coins under the apple tree or join Pippi in the open kitchen to make pancakes. The Pippi-themed playground and other areas provide family entertainment, while the third floor's trampoline and graffiti area let children experience the joy of sports and art.
