Engineers Greg Nelson (left) and Yoon Jun Kim begin assembling a toy train in the lobby of the Hilton Shanghai as part of the hotel's Christmas settings and celebrations. The Hilton Christmas Train, an established tradition at the hotel, will wind and whistle its way around an 80-square-meter Christmas scene dotted with beautiful miniature European houses, farmyards, lakes, bridges and snow-capped mountains. Through the Christmas Train project, the hotel so far has raised 200,000 yuan (US$29,086) for the Shanghai Charity Foundation, Shanghai Sunrise and ORBIS International, a non-government organization dedicated to working to save eyesight throughout the world. - Shanghai Daily
