He’s got itchy feet and ants in his pants, does Matthew Bossons. When not exploring the best destinations in Asia, or trying to contact aliens using the world’s largest filled-aperture radio telescope in Guizhou, or scuba diving through China’s vast underwater cave system in Guangxi, then he’s off to the edges of the Chinese empire, and nosing around in its neighbors’ backyards. Find out what lies south (and north, east and west) of the border from p38.
A little closer to home, Aron Solomons takes a long-overdue and much longed-for trip to Thames Town, a surreal replica of an English market town on the outskirts of Shanghai. Hilarity (and Harry Potter sightings) ensue (p10). The wanderlust doesn’t end there – we’ve also got a travel guide to Urumqi from our excellent Explore China guide from p20. If you enjoy that, the book, which covers the whole country, is available to buy by scanning the QR code below:
What else? The Kooks are coming to town (p28). Tibetan film is taking off (p30). Shanghai art week is on the way (p34). Historic Shanghai is yours to explore (p49). Soup is available to warm the cockles when the weather turns (p56). There is always more food and drink to be enjoyed (p58). And that irrepressible alcoholic Logan R. Brouse offers up yet more ways to get you drunk (p63).
Enjoy!
