Our special cover story of this month dwells on making a difference and is focused on UPI, Unlimited Potential Institute. We interact with the founder, Kristen Liu, to learn how UPI provides a better quality early education. She ensures that children receive all the knowledge needed at their level, but at the same time feel free within a controlled environment. They want children to unearth their talents on stage and be confident from a young age. It is really great to have an education centre in Tianjin following these principles and ethos.
China is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating and fruitful countries to turn to if you want to understand and immerse yourself in an amazing culture, but replicas from other parts of the world remain a great talking point. As you can see in the feature story, Tianjin is home to a fair few of these attractions if you are willing to keep your eyes peeled to find them.
Another highlight of this month is our fashion column. We put together a Fantasy feature for our readers in collaboration with the famous MQ Studio. Work of their veteran hair dresser Mr. Liu has been featured in famous magazines such VOGUE, ELLE and COSMO. And together with the talented makeup artist Mr. Dong, he creates two beautiful bedazzling looks.
