Throughout history, there have been many myths and legends about the foreign relations between China and the rest of the world. Did Marco Polo really travel all the way to the Middle Kingdom, and did he really bring pasta back to Italy?
In this month’s cover story, That’s PRD Editor-in-Chief Matt Bossons travels to the village of Liqian in Gansu province to find out more about what historians refer to as the Lost Roman Legion of China. Did members of a Roman Empire army travel all the way here some 2,000 years ago, and are the residents there today descendants of these troops? Read his findings on p40.
Speaking of traveling, last month’s Golden Week holiday saw recording breaking numbers of Chinese travelers making their way to hundreds of domestic and international destinations. Find out who went where, and why, in our City feature (p10).
Looking ahead to November, this month marks the return of Art021 and the West Bund Art & Design, as well as the 12th Shanghai Biennale. Sarah Forman gives you a taste of what to expect from these fairs on p38. Meanwhile, our Food Editor Cristina Ng eats her way through Shanghai’s favorite spots for dishes from Taiwan. Turn to p54 to get your (visual) fix of luroufan, sanbeiji, beef noodle soup, and much more.
Last but not least, you’ll find Singles Day gift ideas (p18), highlights from this season’s Shanghai Fashion Week (p26), and an in-depth feature about the Freitag brothers (p22) in the action-packed Life & Style section.
Until next month,
Dominic Ngai
Editor-in-Chief
