The October 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:
October has to be one of my favorite months of the year. In South China, it means the heat and humidity will begin to temper themselves and you can enjoy an outdoor meal without melting. Of course, October also means Halloween, which equates to boozy parties and fun costumes (and who the hell doesn’t enjoy dressing up?).
To celebrate the arrival of autumn, we’ve assembled a fantastic issue of That’s PRD for you to sink your teeth into. In addition to a fascinating cover story on China’s development of augmented reality tech (page 38) and an interesting feature piece about Guangzhou’s super-late night markets in our City section (page 10), we also unveil the big winners from our second annual That’s Hospitality Awards (page 20).
Also in this issue, I recap Typhoon Mangkhut (page 7) and That’s Shanghai Editor-in-Chief Dominic Ngai introduces readers to an out-of-this-world cafe in Guangzhou (page 26). As always, the latest F&B news awaits you in the second half of this issue!
And finally, I’d like to take this chance to welcome a number of new editorial members to the team: Ryan Gandolfo (aka Gandalf) is our new Guangzhou editor, Bryan Grogan has taken over the reins as Shenzhen editor and Jonathan Zhong is our newest Shenzhen staff writer. All three of these individuals come with media experience and we are excited for them to share their work with you in the coming months and years.
Until next month,
Matthew Bossons
Editor-in-Chief
