A reason to open each edition
Selected, checked, explained.
Places worth a look
Shopping stops and small route ideas with Chinese names, sources and a clear date of review.
Changes that matter
Verified updates and buying cautions when there is something useful to say. No invented deals to fill an edition.
One trip, or an ongoing interest?
Weekly is planned for repeat visitors, people living in China and readers with a lasting interest in Chinese goods and design. For a single upcoming visit, the one-time Shanghai Field Guide may be a better fit.
What the membership will include
- Four complete editorial emails per month, readable directly in your inbox.
- Source links and practical buying checks, with occasional downloadable cards.

City guide packs are separate purchases. There is no annual or lifetime plan at launch.

The planned membership will renew monthly. You will be able to cancel before the next renewal and retain access through your current paid period. Billing cancellation and email unsubscribe will have separate, clearly labeled links.
Sign-ups will open when payment, delivery and cancellation are ready. We are not collecting email addresses or accepting subscriptions during this preview.
