The fancy decorations of the festival can be seen at many places on campus and various Christmas themed activities are held during these couple weeks, adding bright colors and the warmth of Christmas cheer to campus life.

A Christmas Party was held on December 15th in the library of Peiyang Park Campus as one of the series of activities of LIBTOPIA. Composed of Christmas speeches, Christmas poetry reading as well as other English language games, the party was very popular among both the Chinese students and international students. They were impressed with the activities designed with Christmas elements incorporated into them.
