The August issue of That's PRD is out now, in both paper-and-ink form citywide and digital PDF form on our website. Here, Editor-in-Chief Matthew Bossons introduces the magazine:
When I think of wine producing regions, areas like Bordeaux, Napa Valley and Tuscany quickly come to mind. One area I don’t associate with winemaking, though, is China. The land of baijiu, watery beer and jinjiu (which is actually quite alright), China is more commonly associated with the production of counterfeit wine than the real thing – although, that might be changing.
This month, we take a look at China’s up-and-coming wine region: Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Defying the stereotype, folks in Ningxia are churning out tipples that are beginning to gain global recognition. Read all about it on pages 36-45.
In our City section, I chat with David Proper, the NHL’s executive vice president of media and international strategy, about the league’s pivot to the East and the upcoming preseason game between the NHL’s Calgary Flames and Boston Bruins in Shenzhen (page 14).
If you’re anything like me – and hate preparing breakfast – then you’ll enjoy this month’s featured ‘Hot on Taobao’ product: flip to page 20 to learn about the three-in-one breakfast maker.
Elsewhere in this issue, we take a look at celebrated musical Cats (page 14) and introduce a selection of our favorite al fresco drinking and dining spots in Guangzhou and Shenzhen (if you’re tough enough to handle being outside in South China’s oven-like summer).
Before you turn the page, I want to take a quick moment to remind you, dearest reader, that this month is the official launch of the second edition of our Explore China travel guide. We’ve spent month’s working on this book and we’re extremely proud of the final product. Stunning photography and valuable, well-researched information make this guide a must-own, and you can purchase now for only RMB99 on thmart.com.cn (shameless plug, over).
Enjoy the heat!
