As we edge closer to one of the biggest online shopping event of the year, Alibaba employees are expecting a busy week, and they are well prepared. 

This is Alibaba's signature event - Single's Day - is celebrated every 11th of November of the year . It's a carnival for both the online buyers and well as sellers as participating e-commerce websites typically receive a surge of traffic on this day.

Similar to last year's event, Alibaba is equipping their employees with work essentials such as camping beds, quilts, tents, bags, food and even massage chairs to ensure they work in an optimum yet comfortable level.

Here are some snapshots of the preparations at Alibaba's HQ at Hangzhou.
