Your March issue of Time Out Shanghai is out now, and not only does that mean you've got the very latest quality coverage of Shanghai to look forward to, but also that spring is (pretty much) here. Rejoice! You can read our digital edition online, find a copy at one of our distribution spots around the city or better yet, become a subscriber and receive 12 issues for just 180RMB.
This month we're talking gangs, guns and greed as we explore the seedy underworld of old Shanghai. We take an in-depth look at the three biggest names in gangland Shanghai, some of their most fascinating exploits, and we map out all the key sites for their activity in the city - you may have walked past one of Du Yuesheng's headquarters without even knowing it.
We've also explored some of the city's weirdest markets, tried all manner of berries, herbs and roots in our beginners guide to traditional Chinese medicine and we have a step-by-step guide from from Café del Volcán on how to brew the perfect cup of coffee in your very own kitchen.
Ahead of International Women's Day we spoke to the UN about the most pressing issues facing women in China today, and after the most exciting transfer window in its history we take a look at what to expect from the 2016 CSL football season, which kicks off this weekend.
Plus the usual independent, comprehensive coverage of the best music, nightlife, food and shopping that you need to know about in March.
Happy reading!
