n 60 years, China Eastern Airlines has grown from a small aviation company, with just seven vessels making up its first fleet, to one of the most recognisable airlines in the world. We are expecting for over 100 million passengers in 2016 transported by over 570 airplanes to 1,052 domestic and international destinations. With our continually expanding network, we’re thrilled to launch our direct Shanghai to Brisbane flights, commencing December 16. The new route will be available to travellers on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. China Eastern Airlines has also welcomed new direct flight paths from Sydney to Hangzhou and Kunming in November. We would like to thank each of our valued passengers for their continuous support in 2016 and wish you all a happy New Year. May 2017 bring you much joy, good fortune and great success. We hope you continue to enjoy flying with China Eastern Airlines!

Tango Lovers in Beijing A cast of world-class dancers, musicians and vocalists come together for Tango Lovers in Beijing.

Lisa Ono Lisa Ono will put on a special New Year’s concert. Waiting For You will be held at the Beijing Exhibition Theatre. You can expect to hear her idiosyncratic Bossa Nova style of music.

January 1, 135 Xizhimen Waidajie, Xicheng District

Universal appeal Shanghai Disney Resort has been nothing short of an absolute success – so it’s little wonder that Beijing is set to follow in its footsteps when it gets a renowned international theme park of its own.

Shanghai MUST SEE

Seventh heaven

Strong point

Billing itself a “seven-star” hotel, the first of its kind in Shanghai, the Wanda Reign on the Bund certainly makes the appropriate first impression. It costs $515 million and took three years to build, but the result is impressive. The lobby has artworks by Shi-Q, along with 10-metre high ceilings propped up by large marble columns. The 193-room hotel also boasts elegant karaoke rooms.

Universe KTV holds four private club rooms with individual dance floors, disco lasers and top-notch audio equipment.

Guilin

1 Bajiaozhai National Geopark Round, isolated, featuring ring-like troughs and leaning 45 degrees in the same direction, these rock formation resemble snails sunning themselves after the rain.

IN EIGHT STOPS

If you traverse the world looking for stunning landscapes, look no further than Guilin. Nature lovers will relish the perfectly preserved surroundings...

Elephant Trunk Hill

2 Elephant Trunk Hill At the southern end of Guilin, where the Li River and the Taohua River converge, one of Guilin’s best sights is Elephant Trunk Hill, which indeed resembles an elephant dipping its snout into the Li River.

3 Seven Stars Park The 137-hectare park on the far side of Jiefang Bridge makes for some pleasant strolls. For the children, there are play areas and a pond where you can feed fish.

4 Sun & Moon Twin Pagodas While more of architectural wonder, the surrounding landscape adds to the tranquility of this sight. Elegantly embellishing the scenery of Shan Lake, the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas, beautifully illuminated at night, are the highlight of a wander around Guilin’s two central lakes.

5 Tianmen Mountain Tianmen Mountain is home to proud cliffs, sharp ravines and dramatic waterfalls of Danxia topography, but also lush subtropical foliage. There are multiple viewing spots along hiking trails, including a U-shaped deck with a transparent floor.

6 Folded Brocade Hill Folded Brocade Hill offers some of Guilin’s best views, complemented by restored pavilions, some originally dating from the Ming dynasty.

Sun & Moon Twin Pagodas

Solitary Park

7 Jiangtouzhou Ancient Town Again, this isn’t just a natural landmark; it’s also an architectural one. The 1,000-yearold village of Jiangtouzhou is tucked away among farmland 32km north of Guilin.

There’s an unmistakable rustic charm, with cobblestone alleyways and weathered homes from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

8 Solitary Park This park is a peaceful, leafy retreat from the city centre. The entrance fee for the famous lone pinnacle includes admission to a 14th-century Ming prince’s mansion.

The ANTON Jewellery Statement. The striking combination of modern inspiration, exceptional diamonds and important gemstones created with the skilled hands of ANTON’s Master Jewellers creates a result that is nothing less than perfection. Introducing the 2017 High Jewellery Collection

by ANTON, designed especially for the opening of their new Flagship Boutique in Chadstone, Victoria. The new Flagship delivers the ultimate swiss watch and jewellery destination.

ANTON REGAL HIGH JEWELLERY

This year’s High Jewellery Collection draws heavily on the geometric lines and feel of the Art Deco period and the fabulous jewels Verdura created for Chanel in the 1930’s. Bold but elegant and wearable, all at the same time.

Take for example the Anton Regal pendant-necklace, showcasing a magnificent suspended drop shape natural and rare, vivid, violet Tanzanite.

The kite shaped pendant has genuine presence however, it’s white gold and diamond lace-like construction creates a beautiful and light aesthetic allowing it to showcase all the precious gemstones it houses. The natural and fine sapphires and emeralds inclusive of the Tanzanite are reminiscent of the plumage of the most regal of all birds; the peacock with its tail fanned in a most elegant display of vivid colours imaginable and, that’s exactly how you’ll feel when you wear it; Regal.

Let it’s subtle rows of emerald and diamond beads from which it is suspended adorn your décolletage, this piece is fit for a princess.

ANTON ORIENT HIGH JEWELLERY

The next of our exquisite High Jewels is the Anton “Orient” Sautoir. Step back in time to the glamourous era of the 1920’s and the famous Art Deco period.

For such an important piece you’ll never find another so wearable due to it’s fabulous construction and design. Showcasing natural polished jade beads this piece is all about shades of green. Centering on an engraved jade twin disc motif styled in a classical chinoisserie style makes for great impact but, when it features a fabulous natural, vivid green, polished emerald and a pair of emerald and diamond tassles styled ‘en negligee’, you will truly covet this stylish piece.

Finishing it all off is the addition of a sprinkling of natural, faceted black diamond beads which highlight the green to perfection and make the white diamonds scintillate like stars. Jade and emeralds themselves were a huge part of the design repertoire of the 1920’s for maisons such as Cartier; often styled with strong Oriental themes. Due to this elegant and classic pairing of colours and styles we felt compelled to create a piece worthy of this incredible era. All you need is a black silk gown and a glass of French champagne and your there!!

Restaurant news

In a time where food trends are taking social media by storm, it’s not often you find restaurants drawing on the past, creating menus and decor that are a nod to the simpler old days. Ricky & Pinky, at the heart of the Builders Arms Hotel in Fitzroy, is Andrew McConnell’s latest venture. After shutting Moon Under Water, McConnell set his sights on opening a Chinese restaurant that would stay true to regional cuisines. You’ll find traditional items like drunken chicken, mapo tofu and pippies in XO sauce on the menu, along with a few unexpected items like fried doughnuts.

Your meal is completed with a sweet treat in the form of a extra-large fortune cookie.

In terms of layout, Ricky & Pinky has all the idiosyncratic decor of an old-school Chinese restaurant. Expect fish tanks with an array of market fish and Lazy Susans, which make banquet-style dining both fun and practical. buildersarmshotel.com.au

#1 View to dine for New South Wales In Australia, there is no shortage of gorgeous beaches. And Sydney is home to the most beautiful ocean views in the country, so it’s no wonder it’s also home to some of the best beach dining options as well. Bondi Icebergs, with its sweeping views over Australia’s most famous beach, is easily the most beloved to Sydneysiders and travellers. Icebergs houses a dining experience that sets the bar for seafood lunches. However, there is a lot more here than the views; the intimate and elegant Dining Room and regional menu celebrating seasonal flavours and seafood is always special

year-round, but enjoying some freshly caught fish and sampling a local beer on a hot summer’s day is the real treat. idrb.com 澳大利亚从来不乏风景秀美的海滩。悉尼 拥有澳大利亚国内最美丽的大海，能在这 里 找 到 最 适合用餐 的 海 滩 也 就不足 为奇 了。BONDI ICEBERGS餐厅位于澳大利亚最 著名的邦迪海滩（BONDI BEACH），壮丽海 景一览无余，是悉尼本地人和游客的忠爱之 选，其用餐体验已经成为海鲜午餐的标杆。 然而，除美景外，这里还有很多东西值得称 道— —幽静雅致的餐厅以及全年采用应季 食材和海鲜制作的当地特色佳肴。在炎热的 夏天，品尝新鲜捕获的鱼类和当地啤酒也是 相当不错的选择。

#2 Coastal curves Victoria The Great Ocean Road is much more than a typical road-trip. Towering, sunburnt cliffs merge with tropical rainforests as you take your time carving out a route along this slice of Victoria.

A single road snakes around bends, headlands and along beaches for 243km with seemingly no end to the coastal panoramas. Most travellers begin their journey with a two-hour drive from Melbourne, however the three-day road trip officially kicks off in Torquay, home of Victoria’s surf culture. The Great Ocean Road is not a particularly long road trip, but with sights of shipwrecks dominating beaches and waves crashing around the Twelve Apostles, you can take as long as you need to soak it all in. visitgreatoceanroad.org.au 大洋路（GREAT OCEAN ROAD）之行远 不是一场普通的公路旅行。大洋路位于维 多利亚州一隅，高耸的悬崖与热带雨林在 此融为一体，您可以悠然畅游其间。一条长 达243公里的公路，在海岬中蜿蜒曲折，沿 着风景如画的海滩一直延伸下去，仿佛没有 终点。为期三天的公路之旅正式始于托尔坎 （TORQUAY），维多利亚州冲浪文化的发 源地。对于公路旅行而言，大洋路不算特别 长。但是您可以尽情欣赏沿途的景色，包括 遍布沉船残骸的沙滩和波涛汹涌的十二使 徒岩（TWELVE APOSTLES）。

“Nothing compares to getting up close and personal with the wildlife”

#3 The deep end Queensland Australia is synonymous with the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest coral reef system made up of over 3,000 individual reefs, so taking some time out to travel to the far northern reaches of the country for a dive is a must.

While diving is the obvious choice for travellers, the Great Barrier Reef has a multitude of ways to be discovered.

Taking in the multicoloured reefs from the air is the best way to embrace the shear scale, but nothing compares to getting up close and personal with the wildlife that call it home. Dozens of boat tours offer snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities for you to quite literally get face-to-face with sea turtles, playful seals and hordes of rainbow native fish ducking in between the forests of paint-palette coral reefs. Tickets from $162, greatadventures.com.au

New South Wales Bondi Beach might be Sydney’s darling, but there are plenty more Aussie beaches scattered across the city worth your time. Watsons Bay, one of NSW’s favourite harbour beaches, has all the Aussie trimmings. Fishing boats and row boats line the water and walkway, wrapping around the headland, while the beach itself is a sunbathing hot spot.

The centrepiece of the bay is Doyles, a 131-year-old seafood restaurant that still offers Sydney’s best fish and chips with the backdrop of the city skyline in the distance. Whether dining on a classic plate of seafood and a glass of beer or knocking back a tray of prawns and lobster, there are few better seafood restaurants. Next door is the Watsons Bay Hotel, a more casual beer garden in which to enjoy some drinks and fresh catches. doyles.com.au, watsonsbayhotel.com.au 邦迪海滩（BONDI BEACH）也许是悉尼的 宠儿，但仍有许多其它海滩值得您前往。沃 森湾（WATSONS BAY）是新南威尔士州最 受欢迎的海港海滩之一，澳洲特色十足。渔 船和划艇在水面上沿着步道排成一排，环 绕在海岬周围，这里的海滩也是享受日光浴 的一个热门地点。沃森湾的核心亮点是有着 131年历史的DOYLES海鲜餐厅。这里有悉 尼最好的炸鱼和薯条，远处则以悉尼的天际 线为背景。无论是在这享用一盘经典的海鲜 和一杯啤酒，抑或一份对虾和龙虾，几乎没 有其它的海鲜餐厅能够望其项背。隔壁则是 WATSONS BAY HOTEL，一个更为休闲的啤 酒花园，您可以在此享用一些酒水和刚刚捕 获的海鲜。

大堡礁位于澳 大利亚北部的昆士兰州，由 3,000多个独立珊瑚礁组成，是世界上最大 的珊瑚礁群，已经成为了澳 大利亚的代名 词。所以抽出一些时间来此潜水是很有必要 的。虽然游客往往都会选择在此潜水，但是 还有多种探索大堡礁的方式。从空中俯瞰五 彩斑斓的珊瑚礁群固然可以让您对大堡礁 的规模叹为观止，但没有什么能够比得上与 以此为家的野生动物来个亲密接触。这里有 数十个小船游览项目，可提供浮潜和水肺潜 水，让您有机会与海龟、顽皮海豹和在如调 色板般绚烂的珊瑚礁群间躲闪的各色原生 鱼群面对面。票价162澳元起。 51

#5 Going bush New South Wales Although it’s the beaches that Sydney is known for, just 29km south of Sydney lies the 15,091-hectare Royal National Park, a vast and diverse heritagelisted bushland home to rainforests, mangroves, surf beaches and sheer sandstone cliffs. With minimal roads through the park, the best way to feel the full scope of the park and to have a chance encounter with its wildlife – or even spot the migrating whales – is on the multi-day 26km Coastal Trail.

However, for most people, shorter hikes from Garie Beach or the always popular Wattamolla Beach will show off enough of what the park has to offer as well as reveal some of the best secluded picnic and BBQ spots in Sydney. nationalparks.nsw.gov.au 悉尼距其南部29公里坐落着15,091公顷的 皇家国家公园（ROYAL NATIONAL PARK） 。这是一个庞 大的历史 遗 迹公园，有着多 样化的景观，热 带 雨林、红树 林、冲浪 海 滩和砂岩峭壁不一而足。公园里的道路很 少，要想全面感受这个公园，邂逅里面的野 生动物，或一睹 鲸群迁移的壮观情景，最 好的方法就参加为期数天的26公里海岸路 径。然而，对大多数人来说，始于伽立海滩 （GARIE BEACH）或备受欢迎的沃特马拉 海滩（WATTAMOLLA BEACH）的短途徒步 旅行就足以欣赏公园的一切，途中您还会发 现悉尼最僻静的一些野餐和烧烤点。 52

王爷才开始上班，他首先调查你家的户口， 确定全家正式人口，然后重新开始一年的 监视工作。可以知道，一年中有一星期 灶王爷是不在你家的，还有4天他不 干活，所以想要干什么事躲避灶王 爷的人不要错过这几天的空档哦。 至于是全国只有一个灶王爷还是 每一家一个灶王爷，直到现在也 没有搞清楚，这无关紧要，有人 时时刻刻在记录你的行为才是 主要的。 大年三十的除夕是春节另 一个重要的日子，风俗活动很 多：一是贴春联、挂年画。春 联又叫对联、桃符、门贴。年 画则由“门神”演化而来，早 在远古时期就已出现。二是 守岁，除夕夜家人聚在一起围 炉而坐，通宵不眠以待天明。 三是吃年夜饭，饮屠苏酒。北方 人年夜饭中一定要有饺子，南方 人则要吃年糕。屠苏酒是一种药 酒，可以祛除瘟疫。除夕夜还有“ 辞岁”，是发送“压岁钱”的习俗。 除夕夜子时（12点）神州大地一片鞭 炮声以驱邪并辞旧迎新。有诗曰：一夜 连双岁，五更分二天。寒辞去冬雪，暖带 入春风。可见除夕夜的意义非同寻常。 大年初一后的几天，进入繁忙的拜年活 动。一般而言，初一是晚辈給近亲长辈拜年， 初二给本家远支拜年，或者五服内外互拜，初 三到初五是亲戚、同事世交互拜，初六女眷出 门，女儿归宁，看望娘家。这样忙忙碌碌就到 了正月十五的元宵节。 元宵节又称灯节，被誉为是大团圆、吉祥 如意的日子，备受历代朝野推崇。到了明朝 又有了发展，提前到初八上灯，推迟到十七 落灯，连续十天。元宵节观灯，猜灯谜，吃元 宵，放烟火的习俗成为我国古代最盛大的节 日之一。 除了热热闹闹的庆贺活动，农历春节还有 特别的含义。中国传统的纪年历法采用的是“ 干支纪年法”， “干”是“天干”，以甲、乙、 丙、丁、戊、己、庚、辛、壬、癸十字组成。“ 支”即“地支”，由子、丑、寅、卯、辰、巳、 午、未、申、酉、戌、亥十二字组成。又用十二 个动物配十二地支，这些动物称为十二生肖， 即鼠、牛、虎、兔、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、 狗、猪。按照天干地支表的排列，2017年春节 后是农历丁酉年，丁的五行属火，酉为鸡，所 以民间把丁酉年称为火鸡年。从命理上讲：丁 为火，酉为金，所以这年是金很旺的年。金旺 财多，黄金万两，想捞钱的朋友，在2017年应 该多烧香，多磕头，多做好事，多说几句恭喜 发财的话绝对不会错。

MELBOURNE’S NEW CULINARY KINGS 变革：墨尔本美食新领袖

Melbourne’s Chinese restaurants are breaking the boundaries of Chinatown and its culinary stereotypes, one dish at a time. Lisa Perkovic chats to the trail blazers... 墨尔本的中国餐厅正在跨越唐人街的地理界线，以一餐一菜 逐渐改变人们对中餐的刻板印象。丽莎•佩尔科维奇 （Lisa Perkovic）采访了其中的几位领军人物。

MELBOURNE

T

he metropolis of Melbourne has long been known as a melting pot of culture, especially when it comes to food. From fine dining to laneway eateries, the city’s culinary scene is, at its heart, a mixed bag of dishes from around the world. More than 30 years ago, the Chinese kitchens like Flower Drum started changing people’s perceptions of Chinese cuisine.

These days, Chinese restaurants have expanded well beyond the boundaries of Chinatown and takeaway joints, finding their way into the upper echelon of the Melbourne foodie scene – and also into most Melburnians’ diets. We chat to some of the chefs and owners behind Melbourne’s most cutting-edge Chinese restaurants.

RUYI

Sheng Fang, owner and manager Ruyi has been redefining Melbourne’s understanding of modern Chinese cuisine since first opening its doors three years ago. Sheng Fang has led his team with a clear goal to change people’s palates and mindsets, one dish at a time.

How would you describe Ruyi?

Chinese culture is deep and ancient, but Ruyi’s focus is on 21st century China. The restaurant is a modern Chinese restaurant, truly one of a kind in Melbourne. We want to share with the public a China they haven’t experienced through food – one that is industrialised, modernised, a player on the world stage. To this end, our food is sophisticated and elegant.

How do you think the Chinese cuisine scene has changed in Melbourne?

The Asian cuisine scene has changed a lot – 10 years ago there was a huge fusion trend, a blending of Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese. That has come and gone.

In Melbourne, Chinese restaurants in Clockwise from top left: The flaming king prawns come highly recommended; Ruyi is a “family heirloom” and “spiritual object”; particular have always been focused Peking duck cones represent authentic flavours served in a new way; on the food – how to fill up your guests’ the restaurant promises a modern spin on China, down to its decor stomach, whether it was cheaply or 64

expensively. They played on Western concepts from the 1970s. Golden dragons, red lanterns, green bamboo everywhere. But we’re different. We have a clear definition of what modern Chinese food is about. It’s not about fusion, or fast food. It needs to be elegant, clean, fresh, and create a sense of excitement about being so different. And I think over the past three years, we’ve started to change people’s opinions, one taste bud at a time!

What are you doing differently?

Our focus is single-minded – we’re serving simple yet elegant food that showcases the new side of China, but we’re also paying attention to detail.

From a beautiful setting that’s great for business lunches to superior service and an all-round experience. A lot of restaurants focus on one particular

尔本一直是著名的文化熔炉，在美食方面尤其如此。从精致正餐到巷道美食，在 这里，餐饮的核心是世界各地美食的大杂烩。30多年前，Flower Drum等中餐 厅开始改变人们对中餐的理解。如今，中餐厅已经不再局限于唐人街和外卖店， 而是迈入墨尔本高级美食界，成为大多数墨尔本人的选择。我们选取了几个在墨尔本引领 潮流的中餐厅，对这些餐厅的主厨和店主进行了采访。

RUYI Sheng Fang，店主兼经理 provincial region, but we don’t see that as relevant to people in Melbourne. Modern China isn’t as focused on regionality, and our menu reflects that. We take some of the best dishes from some of the best regions around china, and add modern touches/interpretation. We feature Cantonese, Shanghainese and Szechuan dishes – it’s a complete experience of what Chinese cuisine is about and the best way to introduce Chinese food to the West in the 21st century.

Who are your diners?

Our Chinese clientele have a modern element to them. They’re younger in age, they have a new lifestyle compared to traditional Chinese; they’re well-travelled, well-educated, and they represent the new face of China. They come to Ruyi to do business deals and to enjoy showcasing the best of China’s cuisine. >

从3年前开业时起，Ruyi就在重新定义墨 尔本对现代中餐的理解。Sheng Fang和 他的团队有一个清晰的目标，那就是一道 菜一道菜地改变人们的口味和观念。 您怎样评价Ruyi？ 中国文化博大精深，但是Ruyi关注的是21 世纪的中国。我们是一家现代中餐厅，在 墨尔本绝 对是独一无二的。我们希望通 过食物与人们分享他们从 未体 验过的中 国— —工业化的、现代化的、走向世界的 中国。为此，我们的食物既精致又优雅。 您认为墨尔本的中餐有怎样的变化？ 亚洲餐饮变化很大，10年前泰国、越南和 日本风格的餐饮曾有很强的融合趋势。但 那只是昙花一现。与之不同，墨尔本的中 餐厅始终保持着对食物的专注— —不论 价格高低，满足顾客的胃才是最重要的。 中餐厅曾利用西方对于20世纪70年代中国 的印象，到处装饰着金龙翠竹、大红灯笼。 但是我们与之不同。我们对于现代中餐有 着清晰的概念，既不是融合，也不是快餐，

而是应该优雅、干净、新鲜、与众不同、让 人惊喜。我觉得，经过这3年，我们已经开 始改变了人们的观念，一点一点地改变！ 您所做的有哪些与众不同之处？ 我们非常专注，制作简单而优雅、能够展 现中国新面貌的食物，并且注重细节。我 们注重创造适合商务午餐的美好环境，注 重优质服务和全方位体验。许多中餐厅只 做某一个省份的菜品，我们觉得这不足以 吸引身处墨尔本的人们。现代中国没有那 么强的地域性，而我们的菜单体现了这一 特点。我们从中国美食最突出的地区选取 一些最好的菜品，然后加入现代特点或我 们的理解和诠释。我们的广东菜、上海菜 和深圳菜都很有特色— —不仅让人们全 面体验中国烹饪的精髓，也是在21世纪向 西方推介中餐的最好方法。 前来用餐的顾客有哪些？ 我们的中国顾客都具有现代特点。他们年 纪更轻，有不同于传统中国的全新生活方 式，经常旅行，受过良好教育，代表着中国 的新面貌。他们会来Ruyi谈生意，喜欢向 他人展示最好的中国美食。 > 65

EAST RESTAURANT

Eric Chew, HuTong Group food and beverage director Since HuTong’s delicate xiao long bao literally burst onto the scene in a flood of flavour and heat, the restaurant group has gone from strength to strength, and the opening of East is a testament to that.

How do you think Chinese culture has changed Melbourne?

Chinese culture is entrenched in the everyday life of Melbourne. Just look at Chinese New Year. It’s held around late January to early February and celebrated to the same extent as New Year’s on December 31. It’s huge here! The Chinese New Year Festival brings together different cultures for a celebration of fireworks and food. The streets are decorated with parades of Chinese dragons and colours like red, yellow and green to bring luck for the New Year.

At East we have brought together the modern design aesthetic of Melbourne from designer Hecker Guthrie and combined it with traditional Chinese elements in materiality and form. We celebrate the flavours and traditions of Chinese cuisine, but incorporate other styles of eating and drinking, like tapas and cocktails.

What do you think East represents most about Chinese culture?

East marries the ideas of tradition with innovation. From our trolley wheels on the high tables that emulate a dim sum trolley to the simple touches scattered around the restaurant, East represents the gourmet offerings that Chinese cuisine has to offer. The love and tradition of sharing is offered throughout the restaurant with wide tables, open space and a tapas-style menu.

But the Chinese cuisine scene has also changed steadily since we opened and experimentation is now more common in the Melbourne food scene.

Chinese classics are paid homage but are given a modern twist with new flavours, new tastes and new side accompaniments. Walking the streets in Melbourne, you can now find anything from traditional xiao long bao to non-traditional meals like scamorza spring rolls – the variety is endless.

66

Have Melbourne people’s perceptions of Chinese cuisine changed?

To a degree, Melburnians have always loved the ease and traditional flavours of Chinese cuisine. However, they no longer simply associate Chinese cuisine as a takeaway option, but now an up-market and trendy night out where they can indulge in Chinese delicacies over wine and cocktails. When they sit down for a meal they expect full and rich flavours of spicy, sweet, sour and salty. Guests want to witness the delicateness and simplicity of xiao long bao, but have high expectations – we work to make sure our food explodes with taste upon their first bite.

What are the most popular dishes?

Our xiao long bao is a crowd favourite and a signature HuTong Group dish sold at both East and sister restaurants HuTong Dumpling Bar, HuTong Peking Duck & Dumpling, China Red and Man Tong Kitchen. Some of our other popular dishes include our wontons in spicy chilli sauce, salt and pepper squid, pan-fried wagyu, kung bao chilli king prawns, Shanghainese pork spare ribs and our kimchi fried rice with salmon. >

东餐厅 Eric Chew，胡同集团餐饮总监 自从胡同集团味道鲜美的小笼包在墨尔本 热气腾腾地粉墨登场后，胡同集团日益发 展壮大，东餐厅的开业正是一个证明。 您怎样看待中国文化给墨尔本带来的改变？ 中国文化已经渗透进墨尔本的日常生活。 只需看看中国春节便知。1月末、2月初对 中国春节的庆祝毫不逊色12月31日对公历 新年的庆祝。墨尔本非常热闹！中国春节 把各种文化汇聚在一起，共同欣赏烟花、 享用美食。街上到处装点着中国龙，还有 传统的红黄绿色，希望给新年带来好运。 在东餐厅，我们请到设计师赫克•格思 里（Hecker Guthrie），带来墨尔本的现 代设计美学，并与中国传统元素从内到外 结合在一起。我们推崇中餐的口味与传统， 但同时加入了其他餐饮风格，比如西班牙 餐前小吃和鸡尾酒。

Eastern delights: HuTong Group’s East Restaurant is going from strength to strength and Melbourne – and with food and decor like this, it’s not hard to see why

您认为东餐厅最能代表中国文化的哪些方面？ 东餐厅把传统与创新结合在一起。东餐厅 是中餐美味佳肴的代表，装有轮子的高桌 就像是点心购物车，简单的元素点缀在餐 厅四处。乐于分享的传统在我们的餐厅里 处处可见——宽大的桌子、公共空间和西 班牙风格的餐前小吃。 但是自从我们开业以来，中餐也在不断 改变，现在的墨尔本餐饮业更加愿意创新。 中餐的经 典菜品得到推崇，但 是 其中添

加了新的风味、味道和佐餐品，更具现代 感。无论是传统的小笼包还是像斯卡莫札 奶酪春卷（Scamorza Spring Rolls）这 种非传统食物，在墨尔本街头都能找得到， 种类繁多，无穷无尽。 墨尔本人对中餐的印象改变了吗？ 在一定程 度上，墨尔本人一直喜欢轻松、 传统的中餐风味。但是，提及中餐，他们 不再单纯地想到外卖，而是高级、时尚的 晚餐，他们会配着葡萄酒和鸡尾酒在中式 美味佳肴中大快朵颐。人们落座时希望品 尝到全面而丰富的口味，酸辣甜咸都要有。 顾客喜欢小笼包的精致和简洁，但是期望 也很高——我们努力让他们在吃第一口时 就感到惊喜。 最受欢迎的菜品是什么？ 我们的小笼包拥趸者众，是胡同集团的标 志性美食，集团旗下的东餐厅、胡同饺子馆 （HuTong Dumpling Bar）、胡同北京烤鸭 店（HuTong Peking Duck & Dumpling） 、红双喜（China Red）和满堂红（Man Tong Kitchen）都有供应。其他倍受欢迎 的菜品还有红油抄手（Wontons in spicy chilli sauce）、盐椒鱿鱼（Salt and Pepper Squid）、香煎和牛（Pan Fried Wagyu）、 宫保虾球（Kung Bao Chilli King Prawns） 、上海小排（Shanghainese Pork Spare Ribs）和泡菜炒饭配三文鱼（Kimchi Fried Rice with Salmon）等。 > 67

DAVID’S

David Zhou, owner and chef Fifteen years ago chef David Zhou brought Shanghainese to Melbourne’s trendy suburb of Prahran, and local taste buds have never been the same. Over the years, his menu has brought new tastes and old traditions to the city straight from Zhouzhuang.

“I would love people to come to David’s, turn off their phones and engage with their food”

Tell us about what influences your menu?

Our recipes have been passed down for generations; the history behind each dish is very important as it forms the roots of David’s. It’s the core value. The restaurant is all about bringing this history to life through our food, and how it brings people together. Our menu has changed a lot – when we first started we served tonic soups, pig knuckle, treasure duck, etc. It was very urban Shanghai, but now we serve more hearty, country comfort food like sticky pork belly and chat potatoes. The change was very influenced by a place called Zhouzhuang, the water village: authentic, simple, hearty country food. It has moved from a more formal to a more casual, setting.

Can you tell us more about this shift in Melbourne’s Chinese food scene?

Since David’s opened, we can see how people have been introduced to more

68

Chinese styles of cooking than before; there’s more regional cuisine and more spice. The availability of Chinese food is probably the same, but people are more drawn to casual street food style than a formal style of dining. Their perceptions have changed because they are exposed to many more flavours than before; it’s no longer just Cantonese-style cooking, you have Szechuan-style, etc.

Plus, people are travelling more, they’re experiencing things for themselves and are more adventurous.

How do you want people to eat your food?

Our food is for everyone. For food lovers, especially the busy young professionals, it’s a home for them. I would love people to come to David’s, turn off their phones and engage with the food. To communicate with their stomachs and feel comfortable enough to lick their fingers if they like!

What are your most popular dishes?

I can say our pork belly is number one in Melbourne – people absolutely love it. Also popular is our Grandma’s 8, which is a spicy medley of pork, chicken, chestnuts, cashews, bamboo, scallops, shrimps and shiitake mushrooms. The Seafood Garden, with calamari, scallops, prawns, chewy rice cake and green beans, is a hit too.

David Zhou，店主兼主厨

您能谈一下墨尔本中餐的变化吗？ 自从David’s开业以来，我们亲眼见证了 人们接触到更多烹饪风格的中餐，更多地 方性菜肴和更多辣味菜肴。中餐的便捷性 可能没有多大变化，但是相比于正式的餐 饮，人们更喜欢轻松随意的街边小吃风格。 人们对中餐的观念改变了，因为他们接触 到更多风味，比如川菜等，而不再仅限于 粤菜。比起从前，人们旅行更多，亲身体验 更多，更愿意探索新事物。 69

WONDERBAO

Jonah Hoac, general manager Wonderbao took the Melbourne food scene by storm when it started serving up gua bao, with plenty of street cred on the side.

How is Wonderbao different to other Chinese restaurants in Melbourne?

Most other Chinese restaurants in Melbourne serve lots of different dishes, but we specialise in baos, and with that, we’re able to focus and continue honing our skills on this wonderful white, fluffy delicacy. When we opened four years ago, there were plenty of places that served Chinese cuisine in Melbourne, but none that served the amazing gua bao. The gua bao is like a fluffy Asian bao taco, and it’s now being served at many different restaurants around Melbourne, from Japanese restaurants to your local bar/pub.

Where does the bao you serve come from?

The humble bao was a staple in Chinese food even during ancient Chinese times. Our original recipes all came from the owner/operator of Wonderbao’s mother, but Chinese people have been passing down these recipes in their families for generations.

Throughout the past few years, we’ve tested many variations to the types of fillings we can put into our gua baos, and the new flavours that we have are always a hit with our customers. We’ve also continued to perfect the dough in baos over the past few years, and it has just been getting better and better.

How does Wonderbao embody Chinese culture?

Our food was always meant to be eaten with big bites, and using your hands. Baos should be delicious and easy to eat, just like any good street food. We wanted to bring the nostalgic feeling one gets from having a hearty homemade bao in the palm of your hand to Melbourne for those that grew up eating bao, but at the same time, we’re creating something new, exciting and fun for those that had never tried them.

WONDERBAO Jonah Hoac，总经理 Wonderbao的刈包刚一上市就在墨尔本 掀起了一阵热潮，赢得了诸多街头美誉。 Wonderbao与墨尔本其他中餐厅的不同 之处是什么？ 墨尔本的大部分中餐厅都提供各种各样的 菜品，但是我们的专长是包子，我们能够 专注于此，不断锤炼技艺，把这一松软美 味做得更好。 4年前我们刚开业时，墨尔本有很多中 餐厅，但是没有一家制作美味的刈包。刈 包有些像亚洲版的墨西哥卷，现在墨尔本 的很多家餐厅都在做，其中有日本餐厅也 有当地酒吧。 餐厅的包子来自哪里？

自古以来，包子是中国人的主要食物。我 们的原始菜谱全都来自Wonderbao店主 兼经营者的母亲，但是这些菜谱已经在家 族中传承了好几代人。过去几年，我们对刈 包的馅料做过很多种尝试，我们推出的新 口味每次都受到顾客的好评。我们这几年 也在不断完善用来做包子的面团，做得越 来越好。 Wonderbao代表了什么样的中国文化？ 我们做出来的食物适合用手拿着大口吃。 和任何一种优秀的街头美食一样，包子也 应该是美味易嚼的。我们希望身处墨尔 本、从小吃包子长大的人们，在拿到我们 的包子时，能重温旧时的感觉，就像享用 自家做 的丰 盛可口的包子 一样。与此同 时，我们也努力为第一次吃包子的人创造 新鲜、有趣、惊喜的体验。

SECRET GARDEN 园林之隐，隐于豫园 Green space, in Shanghai? It does exist. The ancient Yuyuan Gardens can provide the serenity you need when the grind of the big city just becomes too much, writes Alicia Miller 上海竟有绿意盎然之地？确有此事。在繁忙的都市生活中 感到过于疲惫时，不妨到古老的豫园感受片刻静谧。艾丽斯 娅•米勒（Alicia Miller）如是写道。 72

SHANGHAI

W

e’ve all felt it before. The moment when the sparkling skyscrapers, the rush of the crowds, the honk of the horns – the whirlwind of city excitement – starts to feel just a little bit too much.

Shanghai has world-class metropolitan excitement, but at times it can also be mighty exhausting.

Like any top-notch mega-city, however, it thankfully has some serene green spaces to escape to. Yuyuan Gardens mightn’t be the largest of city parks, but it has an unmistakable, soul-soothing magic. At this jewel-box gem in the centre of Shanghai’s old town, the vibrant reds of tiled pavilions clash against the skyscrapers of Pudong in a contrast of ancient and modern. As soon as you visit, you’ll understand that it’s listed in every guidebook for a very good reason.

What Yuyuan lacks in size, it makes up for in history and wow factor. First off, it looks the part of that classic Chinese garden you’ve seen in the films: knobbly rockeries, zig-zagging wooden bridges, vivid red structures and jade-hued pools. It’s surprisingly easy to shrug off the city buzz, escaping under vaulting canopies of green to ogle Insta-perfect pavilions perched at water’s edge (the Nine Lion, which looks a bit like a holiday villa by a lake, is particularly dreamy). A circular gate, by a shimmering orange koi pond under a draping green willow; painstakingly pruned ornamental trees – Yuyuan oozes with atmosphere straight out of another era. >

我

们都曾有过这样的感受——在某 个 瞬间，闪亮的高楼、奔涌 的人 潮、刺耳的鸣笛、城市中令人头晕 目眩的兴奋感突然变得难以承受。在上海， 世界级大都市给人带来的兴奋感更加强烈， 但是有时也会让人因此疲惫不堪。幸运的 是，和其他顶级都市一样，上海也有一些可 供片刻出逃的绿意萦绕之地。豫园或许不是 规模最大的城市公园，却毋庸置疑拥有抚慰 心灵的魔力。豫园仿若静置于上海老城区的 一只宝匣，亭台轩榭、艳丽红瓦正对浦东新 区的高楼大厦，古老与现代在此相映成趣。 只要来到此间，便知豫园能在所有旅游手册 中榜上有名，确是实至名归。 规模不够，历史来补，且更为动人。豫园 正是常常出现在电影中的那种中国古典园 林：假山嶙峋，廊桥回转，红木交叠，池如琥 珀。在这里，轻松抖落城市的喧嚣，树为华 盖信步漫行，尽赏湖畔完美亭轩（九狮轩微 似湖边度假小屋，别有梦幻之感）。跨过圆 形院门，行至锦鲤池，地上绿柳如织，初经 繁心修剪，池中锦鲤拥簇，无数金鳞腾跃， 给人恍如隔世的错觉。 豫园之珍贵仅止于此？不然，豫园还有 一段曲折的历史：明朝时期，曾任四川布政 使的潘允端为了父亲年迈归隐后可以安享 晚年，于1559年始建此园，经过将近20年 方才建成（1577年），据说耗费了潘家大量 财力。初建成时，豫园是整座城中最为恢宏 气派的建筑。此后几个世纪中，豫园数次扩 > 73

SHANGHAI

Another reason Yuyuan is such an treasure? It has real provenance: construction began in 1559 by the wealthy Pan Yunduan, a Ming imperial court official who wanted a cushy place for his father to retire to in old age.

The garden took almost 20 years to build (it was finished in 1577) and reportedly cost the Pan family much of its fortune – though upon completion, it was easily the largest and most prestigious plot in the city.

It has been expanded over the centuries, and taken a few knocks too – during the Opium wars the British Army used its famed Huxinting Teahouse as a base; during the Taiping Rebellion the Dianchun Hall was headquarters of the Small Swords Society (sadly, when they were eventually attacked by Qing troops, most of the original garden buildings were decimated).

However, on the whole, and unlike much of ancient > Shanghai, Yuyuan has managed to survive the ravages of the centuries. Finally refurbished by the Shanghai government in the late 1950s, its five planted acres have become a cornerstone of respite in the modern-day city.

MATTERS OF TIME

Yuyuan’s iconic status makes it mighty popular – and that’s why if you really want to nail the whole ‘serenity’ vibe, you’ve got to go at the right time. At weekday opening hour, 8:30am, the gardens are at their quietest; then they’re rarely sleepy again until about 4pm, just before closing. Allow yourself plenty of time to explore Yuyuan’s six main areas – all distinct in style, you’ll wonder how so much diversity can be packed into such a comparatively small space. This early in the morning, you’ll see light bouncing off white-washed >

Nod to the past: Enter Yuyuan Gardens and you’ll feel like you’ve entered a bygone era, from its shimmering orange koi pools (above) to its circular gates flanked by perfectly kept foliage (opposite)

building walls and across figures of roaring dragons – their tiled backs cleverly form the roofs of buildings.

A rock garden is essential in any quality Ming park, but the Sansui Hall’s Grand Rockery, a 12-metre version of Huangshi stone – complete with caves, gorges and cliffs – is a cake-taker. You can even climb to the top for a bird’s-eye view of old and new Shanghai. Yet for a stone of singular magnificence, the Exquisite Jade Rock in front of the grand Yuhua Hall, is a beauty – as is the hall’s inside, which is replete with rosewood pieces from the Ming Dynasty.

Think you’ve seen the lot? Think again: of the many remarkable monuments and halls in the garden, you mustn’t miss Sansui Hall – built in 1760, it once entertained guests in its five picture-perfect halls.

Don’t miss, too, the natural serenity of Yule Pavilion and Wanhua Chamber, weaved together by spring bamboos and a knobbly old maidenhair tree that towers over 20 metres into the sky.

Then there’s all the other corners of Yuyuan, where every season brings with it new charms. Come early in the Chinese New Year and you’ll see 10 thousand lanterns hanging in the garden; come when spring and summer warms the city, and you’ll get fragrant magnolia blossom wafts; or come in autumn, as breezes ruffle the brushy luohan pine, willows, gingkos, cherry trees and dawn redwoods. Because whatever the beautiful buildings or one-in-a-million rocks on hand, this place is really all about the foliage.

YOUR CUP OF TEA

This being the heart of the old town, it’s only right that after your visit you partake in one of China’s favourite time-honoured customs – drinking tea. And just at garden’s entrance, the Mid-Lake Pavilion Teahouse is probably the most famous tea house in the country. >

趣，季节变化也常造就别样魅力。农历新年 进园，可见园内四处万只灯笼高高挂起；春 夏时节，城中正暖，玉兰花争相开放，花香扑 鼻而来；秋季到访，看微风抚弄毛茸茸的罗 汉松、柳树、银杏、樱桃树和水杉。亭台轩 榭自然雅致，难觅山石自然奇特，但是豫园 真正的美还是园中植物。 身处老城中心，游园过后必做之事当属 在中国最受热爱的传统——饮茶。位于豫园 入口处的湖心亭茶楼或许算得上全中国最 著名的茶楼了。茶楼位于湖心小岛，形似婚 礼蛋糕，九曲石桥是其与外界连通的唯一 通道。镀金尖顶层层叠叠，仿佛在用力向上 推举；精致红色镶嵌于白色背景之上；桩柱 把整座茶楼优雅地支撑于水面，整座茶楼 流露出极致庄严之感。 茶楼价格虽不便宜，却又有何处能让人 78

在如此富丽堂皇的木梁穹顶之下闲坐品茶 呢？作为游访豫园的必到之处，就连伊丽莎 白女王和比尔•克林顿都曾来此品茶。 当您真正领略了豫园之美，包括18世纪 修建的内园景区里精致的亭台奇石，就可以 准备探索园林周边地区了。附近的“古玩” 市场，比如福佑路周日市场（紧 邻园林北 面）和东台路古玩市场，终日熙熙攘攘，售 卖各种佛像和玉器。不论哪天，老城区豫园 集市上都有饺子和铁板烧等各种可口的街 边小吃，您也可以来到不那么吵闹的南翔馒 头店，品尝各式各样松软多汁的肉馅蒸饺， 或者到绿波廊酒楼尝尝传统上海点心。然 后只管随心漫步，直到重新走进耀眼的高楼 大厦之间。有了这段在豫园中的休憩时光， 您会发现，又能勇敢迈进疯狂、精彩的城市 生活了。

Perched like a wedding cake on an island in the centre of a lake, and only reached by zig-zagging bridge, Huxinting Teahouse is regal in the extreme – upward thrusting, loopy roofs with gilded pinnacles; intricate red panelling on white backdrop; and stilts holding everything elegantly over the water. It’s not the cheapest cup of tea in the city, but where else can you sip the finest brews under opulent, beamed wood ceilings? It’s such a Yuyuan essential that even the likes of Queen Elizabeth and Bill Clinton have popped in for a cuppa.

Once you’ve really soaked in all the garden has to offer – including the 18th-century Inner Garden’s intricate tower and rockeries – the area around the gardens is ripe for exploration. Nearby ‘antique’ markets such as the Sunday market on Fuyou Lu (directly to the north of the gardens) or Dongtai Lu sell Buddhas and jade knock-offs in a buzzy atmosphere.

Any day of the week, the old town Yuyuan bazaar is there for scrummy street snacks such as dumplings and teppanyaki – or else decamp to the unfussy Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant for endless fluffy pillows of juicy, meaty dumplings, or Lu Bo Lang for traditional Shanghai dim sum. And then, just keep wandering until you find yourself engulfed by those luminous skyscrapers – after your time-out in Yuyuan Gardens, you’ll find that you’re ready to tackle this crazy, brilliant metropolis all over again.

CHINESE NEW YEAR, SYDNEY-STYLE

悉尼风情 舞动中国新年

SYDNEY

K

icking off at the end of January, this 17-day festival will take over the CBD, the suburbs, art galleries, restaurants, laneways, parks and of course, the Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera House. It’s a uniquely Sydney interpretation of one of the world’s biggest events. Here’s our guide to one of Sydney’s biggest festivals.

YEAR OF THE ROOSTER

Celebrating its 21st birthday, the Sydney Chinese 2017 New Year Festival will ring in the arrival of the Year of the Rooster in spectacular fashion. For the third year in a row, Chinese-Australian Claudia Chan Shaw is at the helm as the official Festival Curator. Chan Shaw’s vision will see the Rooster’s flamboyant, cocky personality brought to life through events that are bold, colourful and full of life. “The festival is based on tradition, but it has to keep evolving,” Chan shaw says.

Festival favourites like the Zodiac Lanterns and the dragon boat festival will be back, but there will be new, exciting elements. And there’s a special reason Chan Shaw and her team are working extra hard to make sure this is an extra-special celebration. “Every year it’s a big party, but this year it’s our 21st! That’s a big birthday in Australia, so we’ll be celebrating with an entire weekend of exciting performances and surprises,” she says. >

从

1月末开始，为期17天 的中国 新 年庆祝活动将拉开序幕，中央商 务区、郊区、美术馆、餐厅、大街 小巷、公园，当然还有海港大桥（Harbour Bridge）和悉尼歌剧院（Sydney Opera House）都将笼罩在节日的气氛当中。悉尼 将用自己独特的风情诠释这场全球最大庆 典之一。下面是我们为您推荐的精彩亮点。

Think you’ve seen Sydney? Think again. If you haven’t been to Sydney during Chinese New Year, you’re missing out, writes Lisa Perkovic 自己去过悉尼？再想想。如果您从未在中国新年期间去过悉 尼，那就不能算真正去过，丽莎（Lisa Perkovic）如是写道。

鸡年庆典 悉尼中国新年庆典于2017年喜迎21周年， 将以空前盛况欢庆鸡年的到来。澳大利亚 华人肖女士（Claudia Chan Shaw）将连 续第三年担任官方庆典策划人。肖女士希望 通过大胆、丰富多彩和充满活力的活动展 示雄鸡的绚丽夺目、神气活现， “庆祝活动 源自传统，但必须不断发展。”庆祝活动上 大受欢迎的十二生肖花灯和龙舟活动也将 回归，但同时也会加入激动人心的全新元 素。 肖女士和她的团队正在不遗余力地将本 次庆祝活动打造为一场特殊的庆典， “每年 的庆典都是一场盛大的聚会，但今年是庆 典举办的第21周年！在澳大利亚，21岁生日 是很重要的，因此我们将用整个周末的精 彩演出和惊喜来欢庆中国年。” > 81

SYDNEY

More than 600,000 visitors will descend on Sydney for the festival, from around the country and from China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and all parts of the world. The New Year is a time of families coming together, but the festival also attracts visitors who want to celebrate in the sunshine. “We have the best weather,” Chan Shaw says. “We have glorious, shiny, bright, sunny days during summer, and most other countries celebrating the New Year just don’t have that.”

NEW MEETS OLD

At the heart of Chinese New Year are the ancient traditions of ringing in the turn of the Lunar Calendar.

It’s a time for honouring ancestors and celebrating with family. The Sydney Festival aims to bring the traditional Chinese experience of New Year together with new and exciting contemporary ways of celebrating. As such, events will span between Chinatown and the harbour foreshore.

Chinatown, located in the south of the CBD, is the symbolic heart and visual representation of Chinese culture year round in Sydney. Many of the city’s most famous Chinese restaurants are located here, and will host traditional Asian banquets for lunar feasting. Chan Shaw singles out food as one of the real highlights of the festival. “You can’t go past eating yourself silly for 17 days!,” she says. “Sydney has wonderful food from so many different backgrounds and the local Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese restaurants all get involved in the spirit of the occasion. My family always loves going to Golden Century down at The Star or at Sussex Street – the food just keeps coming.” Expect to see signature Chinese New Year dishes at restaurants around town –

为什么选择悉尼？ 悉尼将吸引超过60万来自澳大利亚全国各 地，以及来自中国大陆、香港、马来西亚和 世界各地的游客参与庆祝活动。春节是亲人 团聚的日子，但是庆祝活动也会吸引那些想 要在阳光下欢庆的游客。 “我们拥有最完美 的天气，”肖女士说道。 “悉尼的夏季总是阳 光明媚、光彩照人，而这一点是大多数庆祝 春节的国家所无法比拟的。” 新旧相遇 春节的核心是辞旧迎新的古老传统，是缅怀 祖先、与亲人欢聚的重要时刻。悉尼的庆祝 活动旨在将传统的春节习俗与全新的、激动 人心的现代庆祝方式相结合。因此，庆祝活 动将遍布唐人街和海滨一线。

SYDNEY

唐人街位于中央商务区南部，是悉尼具 有象征意义的核心地带，也是中国文化的 视觉再现。许多悉尼最知名的中国餐厅汇 聚于此，将为农历新年呈献传统的亚洲盛 宴。肖女士将美食作为庆祝活动的真正亮 点之一， “连着品尝17天美食是很难想象的 事情！悉尼云集了来自不同文化背景的特色 美食，当地的中国餐厅、台湾餐厅和日本餐 厅将为您奉上美味佳肴。我的家人喜欢去 位于星港城赌场（The Star Casino）或苏 塞克斯街（Sussex Street）的金唐海鲜酒家 （Golden Century）用餐，各色美食源源 不断。”希望唐人街的餐厅能为大家奉上标 志性的春节菜肴， “象征着长寿的鱼、长寿 面和象征着富足的饺子都是我们家人在春 节时的传统美食，”肖女士说道。 而在这两者之间，西太平洋银行节日花 灯展（Westpac Lunar Lantern Hub） 也将在马丁广场（Martin Place）盛大亮 相。50米长的花灯、麻将室、各色美食以及 众多娱乐活动都将在此精彩呈现。夜晚降 临，这里将呈现出极具现代感的花灯盛宴， 游客在漫步欣赏花灯的同时，还可以品尝 各个小吃摊的特色美食。皮特街购物中心 （Pitt Street Mall）也将用花灯装饰一新， 其著名的商店也将延长营业时间，吸引参加 庆祝活动的人们购买本地和国际品牌。 节日花灯 去年给人深刻印象的节日花灯将在今年的 庆祝活动中再次展出——花灯将沿环形码 头（Circular Quay）摆放，高达10米，以大 胆艳丽的色彩呈现十二生肖的动物形象。位 于歌剧院前庭的猴子花灯将成为俯瞰环形 码头的调皮守护者，猴子花灯有可能会在明 年继续展出，届时可能会展出5个全新的动 物花灯。 >

“Fish to symbolise long life, uncut noodles for longevity and dumplings for riches are a few of my family traditions,” Chan Shaw says.

And in between these two, the Westpac Lunar Lantern Hub will see Martin Place transformed by 50 metres of lanterns, a Mahjong lounge, plenty of food and lots of entertainment. Nights will see this turn into a very modern, roaming Lunar feast, with visitors encouraged to sample different dishes from the stalls.

Pitt Street Mall will also be bedecked by lanterns – with longer shopping hours at its famous stores encouraging festival goers to shop the local and international brands.

LUNAR LANTERNS

This year’s festival will see the return of last year’s festival’s stunning Lunar Lanterns. As large as 10 metres tall, the lanterns represent the animals of the Chinese Zodiac blown up in bright, bold colours and positioned around the city. Last year, the monkeys on the Opera House forecourt were cheeky guardians overlooking Circular Quay and might make an appearance again next year – along with five new animals.

Artists Tianli Zu and Simone Chu will be responsible for bringing to life – or should we say “light” – a rooster lantern each. Tianli Zu is a Sydney-based, Beijing-born artist who created the Ox for 2016’s festival, which will be back on display at Circular Quay. The 2015 Archibald Prize winner uses intricate paperwork, sound and light to bring her works to life, and will draw upon the rooster’s confidence and love of people to bring her creation to life. Traditional Chinese musical instruments – cymbals, the gong, bells, panpipes and more – will be represented in the form of the bird, which will rise five metres high on Chinatown’s Dickson Street.

Simone Chu’s rooster will draw more on the theological link to metal, and the symbolism of 2017 > 83

being the year of the Fire Rooster. Chu believes the clash of two such strong forces is a powerful statement – of fire melting metal – and thus she will create two fighting roosters, their gold-and-red feathers flashing in a battle dance. At eight metres high, the roosters will be symbols of courage in the face of adversity that may come with the year ahead, and will fill Circular Quay with strength and resilience.

Along with the roosters and ox, expect to see the rat, pig and snake dotted around Circular Quay in a dramatic lantern trail.

PAINT THE TOWN RED

Circular Quay will be one of the best spots to soak up the festival right at its start, from January 27-29.

Sydney’s most famous landmarks will be illuminated red to mark the occasion. The Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge will be lit up, along with Circular Quay Station. Walk towards the CBD to see Sydney Town Hall and the facades of other iconic landmarks transformed in honour of the festival, but also be sure to check the festival calendar as there will be pop-up performances all over the city.

Dance and music groups from Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese communities will take part – the Customs House Forecourt performances are always popular, drawing crowds of locals and visitors alike. For those interested in the arts, the Sydney Opera House will hold special tours of the house in Mandarin.

The one-hour tours go behind-the-scenes, with access to off-limits areas and plenty of stories about the history and design of Sydney’s iconic landmark. >

艺术家祖天丽（Tianli Zu）和Simone Chu将分别设计并点亮一盏雄鸡花灯。出 生于北 京的艺术家祖 天丽为2 016 年庆祝 活 动 所打造 的公 牛 花 灯也 将 再次在 环 形 码头展出。这位2015年阿切博尔德肖像奖 （Archibald Portrait）得主将利用错综 复杂的纸材、声音和灯光赋予其作品以全 新生命，并且利用雄鸡的自信英姿和人们 对 它 的 热 爱 使 其 焕 发 生机 。中国 传 统 乐 器 — — 铙 钹、铜 锣、铃 铛、排笛等也 将以 鸟的形态展现其中。该款花灯高达5米，将 摆 放 于 唐 人 街 的 迪 克 逊 街（ D i c k s o n

Street）。 Simone Chu的雄鸡花灯则更多地将金 属与神学概念相融合，堪称2017火红鸡年 的完美象征。Simone相信这两种强大力量 的碰撞将是金属熔化于烈火的有力展现， 因此她将打造两只搏斗的雄鸡，它们金黄 色和红色的羽毛将在战斗中闪烁起舞。8米 高的雄鸡花灯象征着未来一年直面逆境的 勇气，将使环形码头充满力量和坚韧。 除雄鸡花灯和公牛花灯外，环形码头还 将展出以鼠、猪和蛇为造型的花灯。花灯掩 映，点缀其中，甚为引人注目。 >

A DRAMATIC FINALE

A Sydney Chinese New Year is never without plenty of flair – from performances to bright pops of red and gold taking over the streets – but there’s one event that heralds the end of the festival that always has the crowds talking.

The Dragon Boat Races take place in Darling Harbour on February 11-12. The largest regatta of its kind in Australia, there will be more than 3,000 paddlers, with training provided in the weeks leading up to the big day. Whether you want to get involved or cheer on from the sidelines, it’s a fantastic event for the whole family.

Beijing’s dining scene is going through an international metamorphosis.

Trent van der Jagt explores some of the restaurants leading the European cuisine charge across the city

S

itting down to a modern European 5-star meal inside a 600-year-old temple complex is nothing short of memorable. After weaving and winding through the tightly packed backstreets of the Dongcheng District (the Old City) of Beijing, you’ll stumble upon an unassuming arched entrance with a subtle TRB logo indicating you’ve arrived. Heavy wooden doors open onto a perfectly maintained temple courtyard complete with original stonework, bronze statues and, front and centre, Temple Restaurant itself.

This speaks volumes of what Beijing’s restaurant scene has grown into, blending the city’s history with its love of food. There’s no need to shove your restaurant onto the main street with a neon sign; a hidden 600-yearold temple can do just fine, so long as the menu can stand up to the location.

Focused on preserving all the layers of its history, Temple Restaurant is something of a union between the past and present. The restaurant opens onto the main bar (not a bad start) with high ceilings and original exposed wooden beams paired with a slick modern stone bench top. It’s a delicate balance that can be found throughout the whole space. Australian architectural and design firm Hassell worked to emphasise a marriage between its history and its fine dining atmosphere.

The minimal dining room opens to towering ceilings with sparse Scandinavian furniture and bold artworks emphasising the light and modern lines of the building.

This 600-year-old compound called the Temple of Wisdom can be traced back to the Ming dynasty and was one of three Buddhist temples built in the mid-18th century near the Imperial Palace.

Ignace Lecleir, the owner and mastermind of Temple Restaurant set out with a clear vision of what he wanted to achieve here. “I started off wanting to open up a restaurant that could humbly attempt to showcase the beauty and the profound heritage of China,” Lecleir says.

“It took me quite a while to find the ideal location. It would be my ode and appreciation for everything that this country has offered me.” >

In 2007, restaurateur Lecleir first moved to Beijing to launch Maison Boulud, one of 3-Michelin Star French chef Daniel Boulud’s endeavours into China. However, after this closed a few years ago, Lecleir was determined to successfully entrench a modern Western restaurant into the culture of the city.

But with so many influences under one roof, what kind of food is actually being served in this Australian, Scandinavian, Chinese space? European French, of course. “We attempt to create and to serve dishes that are creative. It might be made of ingredients you recognise, but the way our team puts it together will be surprising,” Lecleir says. “We offer a seasonable menu so we can best utilise the freshest ingredients from the markets. We source produce from everywhere, but we definitely try to use as much local product as possible.”

GOING WEST

While many of Beijing’s favourite restaurants are heavily rooted in traditional Chinese flavours and ingredients, Western and international ideals have slowly but surely found their way into the city’s dining culture. The love of food in Beijing has been evolving over the past decade to a point where a new appreciation has been found for restaurants that break from the expected cuisine in a heavily historical and traditional city.

French and European cuisine has been successfully injected into Beijing with the success of restaurants like Temple Restaurant; however, there was still plenty of room for other countries to make their mark on the >

city. Mosto, a blend of South American and European flavours, opened its doors in 2008 during the Beijing Olympics, when Daniel Urdaneta and his business partners Alex Molina and Eva Biörck saw a gap in the market to bring new flavours to the public. “Western food wasn’t generally something the public regarded as a go-to option,” Urdaneta says. “We wanted to open a restaurant that wasn’t just about fancy food, but rather combining different flavours well.”

In the heart of Sanlitun, Beijing’s bar district, Mosto’s space – with its patterned brick walls, exposed concrete beams and a heavily polished raw concrete floor, paired with comfortable European furniture and enticing Latin American aromas – has made its mark. Safe to say, Mosto has created a very relaxed dining vibe. At its heart, Mosto aims to never intimidate. Architect Coro Urdaneta was the key player in conveying this philosophy through the space’s design. Black frames; metal, concrete and wood; black-and-white tones; and the use of Feng Shui principles are found throughout the space, creating a minimalistic and homogeneous atmosphere that allows the food to shine.

After you’ve had a drink or two and soaked in the funky tunes, the dishes begin to arrive. Fresh oysters, charcuterie plates and mains such as Iceland codfish with baby squid and seared duck breast with pumpkin and citrus reduction are examples of how the chefs like to play and show off with flavours. “Our food takes inspiration from Mediterranean and European cuisine, but essentially, it’s South American,” Urdaneta says.

The large, open kitchen is alive with the sounds, sights and smells of an excitable and high-energy Latin American restaurant as the chefs play with their hearty and colourful plates. “Depending on the season, I might have tuna ceviche, octopus causa or homemade pasta,

BEIJING

and we always have great steaks, which our regulars come back for again and again,” Urdaneta says. “Beijing has over 20 million people and keeps changing every month, every day. This city is filled with opportunities.

The idea of casual fine dining was practically unheard of 10 years ago, and now it’s the hottest trend in restaurants. I appreciate being a part of this movement.”

“The kitchen is alive with the sounds, sights and smells of an excitable and high-energy Latin American restaurant ”

STEEPED IN TRADITION

For every casual-dining space in the hip part of town, there’s another equally impressive restaurant working at refining their traditional cuisine. Housed inside the Four Seasons Beijing, Mio is as opulent as Mosto is chilled.

Upon entry, Mio is a kaleidoscope of dazzling lights, crystal and chrome. Tokyo-based Design Studio Spin has played with the concept of abundance and affluence, treating the senses to an onslaught of colour.

But the fun doesn’t stop there. This design choice is then paired with the rustic smells of tomato and freshly baked bread straight out of the oven. Although Mio is considered a fine-dining restaurant, its homely and traditional Italian menu is inextricably linked to comfort and family. Mio understands dining can be fantastically fun. The incredibly camp crystals effortlessly blend with the rustic satisfaction of a crusty pizza.

If you’re looking to dive a little deeper into the menu, you’ll find the chefs exploring what traditional Italian means to them. An amuse-bouche of foie-gras with passionfruit or a freshly baked focaccia topped with > 95

For those after a little more privacy, Mio has a few tricks up her sleeve. Hidden behind the lavishly adorned walls lies a secret door that swooshes open revealing an even more lavish private dining space. With a dozen seats, views of the city skyline and a floor-to-ceiling wall of some of the finest French and Italian wines, there are few restaurants in Beijing more impressive.

Located above Qianmen Street, a favourite shopping destination for 600 years, Capital M, another of the city’s elite, embraces the city’s heart, allowing diners to look out over the Forbidden City, Qianmen Gate and Tiananmen Square, and is quite easily the most impressively located restaurant in the city.

Capital M is the third restaurant in the M Family, which was developed by Melburnian Michelle Garnaut.

“The menu capitalises on the new trend of fine-dining European, with a twist of Aussie flair thrown in” 的第三间餐厅。她所开设的每间餐厅都以3 个关键理念作为核心：标志性景观、顶级食 材和令人印象深刻的现代时尚室内设计。如 果您去过位于上海的米氏西餐厅，您便会立 刻体验到其中诸多相似之处。浓艳的色彩、 深红色的皮革和布艺以及时尚的铬镜，令人 惊艳的室内设计风格在秉承中式风情的同 时，彰显出极高的品位。 前门M餐厅在追求精致西餐新潮流的同 时，额外融入了澳大利亚风味。来自澳大利 亚的主厨加里•马丁（Gary Martin）曾在 悉尼、伦敦和上海的餐厅工作，利用自己的 国际美食经验，他打造出的菜单即创意十足 又充满怀旧气息。“20 09年至2013年，我 一直在上海的米氏西餐厅工作，直到来到这 里，”加里•马丁说道。 “我们菜肴的灵感来 自世界各地，秉承现代西餐风味，并大量借 鉴源自希腊和波斯的烹饪技巧。” 虽然菜单根植于西餐美食，但其中也不 乏澳大利亚风味，如盐焗澳大利亚羊肉及 M品牌著名的巴甫洛娃蛋糕（已经在其旗下 98

所有餐厅供应达25年之久）。这里菜肴的风 味和食材均来自世界各地，如葡萄牙烤乳 猪或金枪鱼鱼籽意面配国王明虾。 “我们从 中国和海外搜寻食材——牛羊肉来自澳大 利亚，鹿肉来自新西兰，奶酪来自欧洲和北 京，而生蚝则来自法国”马丁说道。 这里的每一道菜肴都是，不同文化的体 现，食材更是重中之重。在北京，用餐者越 来越看重有机食材。 “北京的餐饮业已经有 所改变，主厨们会越来越多地选用直接来自 有机农场或北京周边农场的水果和蔬菜。 因为用餐者希望了解食材的来源以及种植 方式。” 北京餐饮业在过去十年间取得了迅猛发 展。十年前，传统中餐在北京所有高档餐厅 中占据统治地位，虽然北京有着深厚的文化 和历史底蕴，但现在已经敞开怀抱，接纳众 多国际主厨给餐饮领域带来的改变，将城 市的文化与历史和美食与食材的全新趋势 完美结合，鼓励主厨们大胆创新，为城市注 入新鲜活力和鲜活生气。

similarities instantly. Rich colours, heavy red leathers and fabrics and sleek chrome mirrors create a striking interior that reflects good taste while adhering to the Chinese ideals of ambience.

The menu capitalises on the new trend of fine-dining European, with a twist of Aussie flair thrown in for good measure. Australian chef Gary Martin heads the kitchen at Capital M after a long career working across Sydney, London and Shanghai, bringing his experience of international cuisines to this creative yet nostalgic menu.

“In 2009, I worked at M on the Bund in Shanghai until I took this position in 2013,” Martin says. “Our dishes take inspiration from around the world with modern European flavours and techniques that draw heavily from Greece and even Persia.”

While the menu is heavily steeped in European favourites, it’s not hard to see the Australian link scattered throughout – like the salt-baked Australian lamb, or the M brand’s famous pavlova, which has been in all of its restaurants for 25 years. You’ll also find flavours and ingredients hailing from across the globe, with dishes such as Portuguese suckling pig or fregola with king prawns. “We source ingredients from China and abroad. Our beef and lamb is from Australia, venison from New Zealand, cheeses from Europe and Beijing, and our oysters from France,” Martin says.

Here ingredients are the star as each dish is a love letter to a different culture, and in Beijing, the trend of organic produce is becoming more important to diners.

“The dining scene in Beijing has changed with chefs working more and more with organic farms or farms close to Beijing for fruit and vegetables that were never on the market before. Guests want to know where their food is from and how it was grown.”

Beijing’s dining scene has evolved rapidly in the last decade. Just 10 years ago, traditional Chinese cuisine reigned supreme across all of Beijing’s high-end dining options. While the city’s culture and history has stayed strong, it has now opened its doors to a troupe of international chefs looking to change the dining playing field. Marrying the city’s culture and history with new trends in food and ingredients has allowed a whole new breed of chefs to breath vibrant, fresh life into the city.

Yoga in the park, open-air cinemas and concerts and 17 hectares of parkland makes South Bank the ultimate inner-city escape. Once a sea of industrial warehouses and trade, the river has now been reclaimed by this lively entertainment hub, becoming as fundamental to the city as the harbour is to Sydney.

Art spots like the Gallery of Modern Art add a touch of culture to the riverside stroll. Conveniently located next door, you can continue on to the Queensland Art Gallery, where the current show, Art in Papua New Guinea, hangs next to Indigenous Australian work and contemporaries such as Rosemary Laing and Tracey Moffatt.

Besides all its outdoor activities, the river is also home to some of the city’s best bars and restaurants, and few are better than Stokehouse Q. Nestled at the end of South Bank, it has become the go-to seafood destination in Brisbane. With dishes like fresh swordfish, potato gnocchi with local tiger prawns or barramundi with shaved squid and sheep’s milk labna, you’ll be able to sample some of the best Brisbane has to offer.

Like the rest of Australia, food and drink is foremost on local’s minds. Whether it’s fine dining (think Matt Moran’s Aria or Brad Jolly’s Alchemy) or a simple poached egg on polenta and coffee at popular minimalist cafe Felix, down famous Burnett Lane, all tastes are catered for.

DOWN TO THE VALLEY

While the dining options in South Bank and the CBD have their river views as a claim to fame, it isn’t until you head just 1km out of town to Fortitude Valley that you’ll find the real cultural gems of Brisbane.

1 02

Fortitude Valley is something of a contradiction.

It’s raw and off-beat, with undertones of grunge, but remains the sophisticated hot spot for shopping, luxury hotels and adventurous dining options. Heritage buildings containing most of the city’s rich past are wedged between dazzling contemporary apartment buildings, and laneways such as Winn Lane and Bakery Lane are alive with young start-ups, bakeries, and enough coffee shops to fuel the young professionals.

On the surface, “The Valley” comes across as a perpetually developing inner-city suburb, but hidden behind nearly every new apartment building or shopping street you’ll find a bustling restaurant scene. The star is Gerard’s Bistro, a sophisticated, Middle Easterninfluenced restaurant tucked down Gerard’s Lane, off popular James Street. Head chef Ben Williamson has developed a share menu that has captured the interest of every Brisbane local. Middle Eastern flavours mix with Northern African ones inside this multi-faceted space. The Bistro is an elegant space designed with sharp angles and smooth finishes. Boasting an array of earthy materials, including marble, brick, timber, steel, brass, >

Taking a relaxed approach to food and drink, Eleven is a perfect escape from the city.

STAY ACTIVE

For the hours you don’t have a plate of food and a drink in front of you, Brisbane can keep you plenty entertained until dinner comes around again.

HAINAN

W

iggling sand between your toes while surf licks your ankles. Floating on azure waves, watching as the sunshine above turns them to glittering liquid sheets. Downing a coral-hued rum punch while the sunset shifts the sky from blue to pink. Yep, there’s nothing quite like a beach holiday.

But to get one worth its salt, you don’t have to stand for a long-haul schlep – Hainan, China’s own tropical isle, has more than enough beaches to entice even the pickiest of sun-and-sand worshippers. And, a whole lot more…

THE ISLAND

You know those postcards – the ones with the alabaster sands, electric-blue sea, and palm-fringed vistas? They could have well been shot in Hainan.

When it comes to doing that coveted laid-back tropical lifestyle, this avocado-shaped island in the South China Sea has got serious talent – no wonder it’s often referred to as China’s answer to Hawaii.

Let’s start with the north. The capital and gateway – and the place many visitors get their first taste of Hainan – is Haikou, perched at the island’s northeastern reaches. Arriving from frantic Beijing or Shanghai, the contrast couldn’t be more pronounced: this little city has a sultry, faded colonial feel, with market stalls shifting the freshest tropical bounty – blushing mangoes, sweet bananas, prickly lychees and fat coconuts. Wandering down little streets, you’ll happen upon cosy restaurants serving up the local delicacy of steamed chicken with glutinous rice. But if you think all this feels like holiday zone, just wait until you get out of the city. It only takes a few hours’ driving, or 90 minutes by train, to reach the island’s southern tip from here – but there’s a world of diversity to be discovered in between.

If you really want to get away from it all, the answer lies in the sleepy centre of the island – the hilly and lush green highlands where, rather than crowds, your company comes in the form of exotic birds such as Hainan partridge; rushing waterfalls; forested peaks; and small settlements of the indigenous Li people. It’s a far cry from the vistas that you’ll find on the island’s east coast – seemingly endless coconut plantations bumping up against the sea.

And finally, there’s the south: the island’s bottom arch, curving upwards from Sanya to vast Yalong Bay. Here is where you’ll find the very definition of tropical bliss – warm, sparkling waves; beachside bars on icing-sugar strands; pristine rows of loungers and umbrellas welcoming eager sunseekers with open arms. Most of the island’s finest resorts (more on those later) cluster along this beachy stretch, hugged in by rolling green hills the colour of emeralds. Radiating along the coast there’s many 110

HAINAN

“WITH AVERAGE TEMPS OF 25 DEGREES MOST MONTHS, PRETTY WELL ANY TIME OF YEAR IS GOOD TO VISIT” an Instagram-worthy strand – including the popular Dadonghai beach to the south-east – but Yalong Bay beach itself is Hainan’s crowning glory. With 7km of powdery sand to walk, play and splash around on, you could easily spend your whole holiday never going anywhere else. And with average temperatures in Hainan hitting or surpassing 25 degrees in most months (even winter days regularly hover around 20 degrees), pretty well any time of year is a good time > to visit. Need we really say more?

THE RESORTS

When it comes to the five-star hotel game, all the major players have landed in Hainan – after all, if there’s something this tropical isle knows how to do, it’s sumptuous surroundings. The only trouble is choosing which one to plump for, as each boasts its own unique, enticing magic.

Take the five-star Conrad Sanya Haitang Bay, the epitome of island luxury. This place does fabulous with a capital F – that means plunge pools all around (not just in the suites – standard twin or king rooms are decked out too); pearly-hued rooms looking over that riveting sea view; and tours of the island by (ahem) private Bentley. A day is easily lost just hopping between the different on-site pools; as is a night when it’s spent munching on modern Hainan specialties at La Chine, one of three delectable in-house restaurants. The overall vibe is quiet sophistication; with its dramatic lighting and rich fabrics, the Conrad brings an undeniable glamour to its corner of the island.

Have your own yacht? The slick St Regis Sanya is the hotel for you – there’s 150 berths available at the yacht club next door if you’ve got a big boat to park. Should you not be quite so blessed then you can simply spend your time ogling the collection from the hotel grounds, or dreaming about them in your pristine room – vast windows let the sea views in, and sunlight seems to bounce off the polished marbled floors. While the vibe feels very grown-up, this is also an ace hotel for anyone toting little kiddies: besides the on-site nanny and babysitting service (a godsend for parents who want their holiday to actually feel like one), there’s activities aplenty, including tennis courts, a kid’s club, and movie theatre.

Much to sea: Whether unwinding with a massage by the beach (above) or exploring the island’s vantage points on foot (below) the pristine blue ocean is always in sight

“IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL, THE ANSWER LIES IN THE SLEEPY CENTRE OF THE ISLAND” If you’re one of those can’t-sit-still types who wants to balance their relax-time with some active fun in the sun, the Ritz-Carlton Sanya is a surefire winner. Styled after an epic Chinese castle, not only does it have the largest spa on the island – complete with fragrant ESPA products – but high-end shopping (think Prada) and a heavyweight wine list in its on-site Italian restaurant.

As for that ‘active’ bit? The Ritz-Carlton is also a quick hop from a number of golf courses; there’s a dedicated watersports centre; and there’s the opportunity to hire bikes and Segways.

THE SEE-AND-DO

Without a doubt, the biggest draw of Hainan is right out there by the ocean – those drool-worthy beaches, and everything that comes with them. But if lying around and working on your tan isn’t your thing, there’s a multitude of other ways to enjoy the scene: for example, on the popular Dadonghai beach you can also

Meanwhile, to the east at Houhai Bay or Riyue Bay, surfing is king – these are perhaps the finest spots in China to catch serious waves. Prefer your water a bit more balmy? Sanya is an easy day trip to the hot spring resort of Nantian, complete with dozens of steamy mineral pools of every description.

But the thing about Hainan is that it’s not just water and beaches – while you can fly-and-flop with great success here, there’s plenty more to entice those travellers who prefer to stretch their legs. Hainan is a golfer’s dream: there’s close to 20 courses dappled along the island’s coast, ranging from the Yalong Bay Golf Club in Sanya – complete with a river and bordered by the South China Sea – to the lush Kangle Garden International Golf Club, surrounded by tropical botanical gardens.

There’s culture, too: throughout the year you’ll find myriad festivals celebrating everything from coconuts

to folk songs – plus you can spend time exploring pagodas; exploring the Buddhist temple park Nanshan; or gawping at the majestic statue of Guan Yin, a 108-metre towering vision over the luminescent waters of the South China Sea. Thanks to good roads and plenty of flat stretches, even relatively inexperienced cyclists can have a blast on two wheels; and on the tallest mountain, Wuzhi Shan, there lies a remote walker’s paradise that’s just waiting to be discovered.

Breaking a sweat up in the morning descent, under leafy canopies, could easily be the highlight (pun intended) of your trip.

But, whatever you’ve done that day, there’s nothing quite like returning to Sanya for a sundowner and the sunset – watching the fire burst into fiery hues, promising another gorgeous day to come, is exactly the sort of shoulder-unclenching moment that people come to Hainan to experience.

pproaching Lord Howe Island, the unmistakable volcanic peaks of Mounts Gower and Lidbird break through their shroud of mist, creating a distinct Jurassic Park mood that’s further affirmed by the lush, sprawling rainforest and bushland below. This crescent-moonshaped subtropical island is home to a full suite of ecosystems all bordered by the vivid turquoise of the world’s southernmost coral reef.

The minute you touch down after the two-hour flight from Sydney onto the island known as ‘the last paradise’, it’s clear that Lord Howe exists as a world of its own. A white picket fence borders a quaint cottage that acts as the island’s airport, and it seems the weather swaps between seasons every 15 minutes or so. But this is all just the way of life for the 350 or so permanent residents.

Libby Grant, who manages Capella Lodge with her partner Mark McKillop, is a whirlwind of hugs and greetings as she meets us at the airport cottage before whisking us off to the island’s premium accommodation.

The single road through town is only a few kilometres long, with a grandma speed limit of 25kmh – so there’s plenty of time for a quick island tour and local chit-chat from Libby. “With one doctor, one police officer and dozens of scuba instructors and fishing captains, it’s clear where the locals priorities lie,” Libby says. “Lord Howe may still be part of NSW, but it behaves as its own closed community.

Our short drive winds along the white, almost deserted beaches and past locals and visitors alike commuting on bicycles (the main form of transport on the island). However, it isn’t until our van crests the final hill that the sophisticated beach house that is Capella Lodge comes into view. Set at the foot of the two mountains, and high above paddocks of grazing cows alongside the ocean, Capella Lodge’s rural charm might just be the most stunningly diverse view in Australia.

THE WARMEST OF WELCOMES

Hidden in a mini-forest of palm trees and native ferns, Capella’s nine lodges are privately tucked away into a hillside. Rooms range from the two-person Capella Suite to the family-sized Lidbird Pavilion, complete with golf buggy and plunge pool, but all are strategically aligned to offer the same views facing the jaw-dropping mountain peaks. The spacious, light-filled rooms feature timber floors, marine ply joinery, winding staircases and custom furniture and art pieces that create a luxury beach house vibe.

Down at the lobby, Mark greets us at the door with a warm handshake and some very welcome beers and cocktails, the perfect way to start any getaway. “We don’t like staying cooped up in an office all day. We want to mingle with guests at the bar. It rarely feels like work here. Now, what do you want to do on the island? We can drop you off anywhere,” Mark says. This enthusiastic welcome encapsulates what Capella is all about. A drink in hand, an open-plan bar/lounge/restaurant/balcony, and an open itinerary to the island’s adventures.

While the day beds, plunge pool and secluded library seem to beckon at first glance, there’s just too much else to get stuck into on the island. Capella Lodge staff may offer to drive you anywhere on the island but half the fun is exploring it yourself by bike or foot. Lord Howe > 116

may be a little short on actual places to visit with only one cafe, The Anchorage, a bottle shop and corner store amidst all the accommodation options, but there’s no shortage of secluded beaches to discover. And with no more than 400 visitors allowed on the island at one time thanks to its World Heritage listing in the 80s, you’ll rarely have to share a beach or a hiking trail with more than a handful of people.

With the entire coast covered in pristine stretches of sand, and but a speckling of kayakers and snorkellers on each, it’s difficult to pick a favourite; but the most popular by far is Ned’s Beach, where high cliffs and bush-covered hills encapsulate a broad bay where fish are more than willing to visit the shore in exchange for a snack. It’s also the kick-off point for daily walks led by Capella Lodge’s in-house naturalist, Caitlin, who shares her in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of the reef and the island with an unrivalled passion.

beauty. As the southernmost coral reef in the world coupled with the limited tourism in the area, the reef has remained largely undamaged, meaning you can’t go out on a boat without being bombarded with a rainbow of colour. The best way to experience the reef is by snorkelling or scuba, and with 60 designated dive sites there’s plenty to go around. For those more inclined to stay dry, there’s also the option of a glass-bottomed boat with Lord Howe Environmental Tours, where you can catch a glimpse of the native fish, sharks and sea turtles at your feet.

As beautiful as the reef is, nothing compares to the island’s hiking and the views they earn. With only one road through town, the only way to reach some of the more spectacular peaks is to strap on a pair of hiking boots and get moving. No one should feel deterred, though; if hiking isn’t your forte, there are dozens of trails weaving through the island that cater to every ability and timeframe. From the 3km gentle stroll along the beach from Capella Lodge to Little Island at the base of Mount Gower; to the island’s ultimate walk, the eighthour trek to the Gower’s 875-metre summit. While this one may sound most appealing, it also requires a trained guide and can only be done twice a week depending on the weather – but the views are worth it. The middleof-the-road walks include the Malabar Hill and Kim’s Lookout hike on the north side of the island and the Goat House Cave walk to the highest point on Mount Lidbird.

BACK TO BASE

After a day spent exploring, or even simply soaking up some sun on the beach, Capella knows how to rejuvenate those weary bones – with cocktails and canapes, of course, (or a visit to the in-house day spa).

Each night, at 6pm, all guests are invited to sample the bar staff’s crazy cocktail concoctions, and whatever canapes executive chef Cooper Dixon dreams up that night. “This whole island has the feel of a community, so we want our guests to feel the same way at Capella and have the opportunity to chat with everyone and share some beers,” Libby says.

Lord Howe Island may be secluded, but that only accentuates the diverse seasonal menu Dixon delivers each night. While maintaining a relaxed beach getaway vibe, dinners up the ante and allow the kitchen team to let loose whatever creations they get carried away with.

OF PLENTY Chinese travellers have long understood the appeal of Xiamen, the sophisticated city by the Taiwan Strait – and now international travellers are beginning to discover its wonders as well, writes Adrian Mourby

P

became attractive to merchants from within China and abroad. Ironically, political and economic turmoil on the mainland also meant Xiamen exported many Hokkien Chinese to other parts of Asia at this time.

For visitors today, Xiamen’s main appeal lies in its old city centre, now known as Siming, which is ringed on its landward side by shining silver skyscrapers that represent its recent runaway affluence. Visitors also take the 10-minute ferry ride across the harbour to low-rise Gulangyu, which was developed after 1842 as an enclave for foreigners doing business here, just like Shamian Island in Guangzhou. Today, vehicles are banned on Gulangyu and life proceeds at a slower, prettier pace.

The old centre of Siming is an area of temples and parks above the harbour. Wanshi Botanical Garden, with its lakeside pavilions and huge range of oriental plants, includes a eucalyptus planted by former US President Richard Nixon when he visited in 1985. At that time, Nixon claimed Xiamen would become a major tourist destination, and he has certainly been proven right. >

rosperity, a pleasant climate and clean air have made Xiamen one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. It’s picturesque, too; its old harbourside and neighbouring satellite island of Gulangyu are relaxing places to visit. Ferries even bring in day trippers from neighbouring Taiwan.

But this coastal stretch of Fujian Province wasn’t always so tranquil. During the Song dynasty (960–1279 AD), this island city was a seaport open to foreign trade and new ideas. The famous Chinese scientist Shen Kuo (1031–1095) spent some of his youth here. In 1541, the first European traders were welcomed into Xiamen, but later under the Ming dynasty the port was closed; and after the Qing dynasty seized power in 1644, it became a place of refuge for Ming loyalists who fought a losing battle with the Manchus.

In 1841, during the First Opium War, the British Navy arrived with 38 ships and forced Xiamen to reopen for trade, making it the first of the treaty ports.

Thereafter, as China’s main exporter of tea, Xiamen

XIAMEN

WHAT’S IN A NAME? The island known today as Xiamen was called Tong’an during the Han dynasty. In 1387, the Ming dynasty General Zhou Dexing built Xiamen Castle here to guard against sea pirates. Its remains, still standing, at 43 Xin Hua Lu. At this time, the island was known as Ē-mûi, from which European sailors and traders derived the name Amoy, by which it was known for centuries in the West. After the Qing dynasty overthrew the Ming in 1644, Xiamen became a refuge for Ming loyalists.

Rebel commander Koxinga used Xiamen as a base from which to launch counterattacks against the invading Manchus. He renamed Xiamen Island Siming, which he said meant “Remembering the Ming”.

In the 20th century, the island reverted to the name Xiamen.

Around the old city today, you’ll see place names that recall the five names by which this island has been known: Tong’an, Emui, Amoy, Xiamen and Siming.

Siming’s temples have intriguing names like Huxiyan (Tiger Stream Rock) and the Bailu Dong (White Cave).

Nan Putuo Si (South Putuo Temple) near the university is much-visited for its colourful Tang-era beauty (although it has been rebuilt many times since the 10th century AD). Within its grounds are a number of halls displaying a wealth of Buddhist statuary, including many images of the compassionate goddess Guanyin. Best of all is the Heavenly King Hall with its image of Bodhisattva Milefo Wei Tuo and the statues of the Four Heavenly Kings. Wei Tuo holds a stick that points to the ground, indicating if you are a pilgrim you may lodge here. This is one of the most revered temples among Fujianese people and across South East Asia. It’s usually full of chanting monks and visitors lighting incense.

Outside, you may see a less familiar local scene, especially in autumn. Bobing (or bo Zhuangyuan) is an activity in which people roll dice to win traditional mooncakes. Whoever accumulates the most is said to have great fortune. It takes place in homes, in cafes and in parks. Among students, bobing is considered to be a surefire way of discovering who will be the topmost student in the national examinations.

ATTRACTIONS APLENTY

“Bobing is an activity in which people roll dice to win traditional mooncakes. Whoever accrues the most is said to have great fortune”

Below Nan Putuo Si stands the Overseas Chinese Museum on Simling nanu, which was endowed by Tan Kah Kee (1874–1961), a Chinese businessman whose statue can be seen outside Xiamen University.

It contains a collection of Shang era bronzes from the 16th century BC, but also mementoes of the Fujianese who emigrated from Xiamen in the 19th and early 20th centuries. An estimated 350,000 overseas Chinese can trace their ancestry back to the port of Xiamen. Tan himself was born in Tong’an County, Xiamen in 1874, and after a long and adventurous life ended up with a state funeral in Beijing after his death in 1961. More recently, an asteroid has been named in his honour. > 125

Another much-visited tourist site is Huli San Fortress, which commands the entrance of the harbours of Xiamen and Gulangyu. It displays over 50 iron cannons from the Ming and Qing dynasties and a massive 280mm cannon purchased (as one of two) from the Krupp Company in Germany back in 1891. This cannon is in the Guinness World Records for the length of its range and is still celebrated in Xiamen for having sunk a Japanese battleship in 1937. Twice a day, actors dressed in red and yellow banner suits drill at the fort using swords and staves from the Ming and Qing periods.

The harbour itself, with its views across to Gulangyu, is also a popular destination for tourists. One of the best places to enjoy the view is up on the seventh floor terrace of the Lujiang Harbour Hotel while sampling its buffet of dim sum, Cantonese snacks and Fujianese street food.

THE ISLAND’S ISLAND

Crossing on the Xiagu Ferry over to Gulangyu is to enter a laid-back, living museum of colonial architecture. Not even bicycles are allowed to disturb the calm of this 2km² island. Its tree-lined streets are full of churches and consulates, and over 1,000 mainly Italianate villas with porticos, broad verandahs and pretty front gardens. These were erected by Europeans after the First Opium War ended in the 1842 Treaty of Nanking. Later, Gulangyu was made an international settlement in 1903. Here, Japanese traders, European administrators and Sikh police lived side-by-side with the island, producing its own English language newspaper until World War II intervened.

Today the island attracts wealthy Chinese who wish to buy a home here – and lots of tourists. Between the twin ferry terminals of Sanqiutian and Gangqin, visitors queue for Seaworld, where sharks prowl and seals, dolphins and penguins can be watched at play.

“An illuminated statue of Koxinga, the rebel commander, commands the strait between Xiamen and Gulangyu”

Clockwise from top: Many parts of Xiamen are a picture of tranquility; Statue of Koxinga on Gulangyu; the renovated Xiamen Railway line

XIAMEN

An illuminated statue of Koxinga, the rebel commander, commands the strait between Xiamen and Gulangyu, with Sunlight Rock rising 93 metres above sea level behind it. The top of the rock is reached by metal steps and stays open until 8pm, making it a good place for sunsets. Below is the Koxinga Memorial Hall, containing 17th-century artefacts and telling the story of the local hero who defied the Manchus.

Another attraction is Shuzhuan Garden, originally part of a private villa built in the 1930s. It was opened to public in 1955 and contains a formal Chinese garden and Si Shi Si (zigzag) bridge that’s covered at high tide and can give you the beguiling impression you’re walking on water. The garden also contains the Xiamen Piano Museum, with its antique pianos from Europe and North America donated by a wealthy expatriate collector called Youyi Hu. There’s also a concert hall where the Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra performs, and a public aviary nearby on the top of Yingxiong Hill.

Gulangyu is very much an island for pleasure. The best beaches are here, as are some of the best coffee and tiramisu in China. Once, these islands exported tea and Fujianese people all round the world. Now the story has come full circle and people are flocking to live here.

Hello, old friend

After a hiatus of 11 years the Honda NSX is back in production. But now it’s better than ever.

A Honda? In a magazine dedicated to celebrating luxury? Really?

Yep. But this isn’t a typical Honda. This is the new Honda NSX, the $420,000 supercar that bucks the manufacturer’s trend for sensible products. Originally launched in 1990, the first NSX famously benefited from the late Formula One World Champion, Ayrton Senna, adjusting the car’s dynamics until it was as close to flawless as any car has ever been.

The 2016 iteration sees the NSX transformed into a hybrid sports car powered by 3.5 L twin-turbo V6 engine and three electric motors – one on the crankshaft to eliminate turbo lag and one for each front wheel – for all-wheel drive acceleration and astounding cornering balance.

This is hypercar technology, so the results are equally impressive.

Total outputs are 427kW/646Nm, the top speed is 308kmh, and the 0-100kmh dash takes a mere 2.9 seconds. For context, that’s notably faster acceleration than the Ferrari 488, Porsche 991 GT3 RS and Mercedes-AMG GT S, which each need at least 3 seconds, and only 0.4 seconds slower than the Bugatti Veyron.

The NSX’s transmission is a 9-speed dual-clutch semi-automatic.

Its body utilises a space frame design, which is made from aluminum, ultra-high-strength steel, and other rigid and lightweight materials, some of which are world-first applications.

The regenerative braking system is outstanding. The brake-by-wire system creates a remarkably consistent feel and the optional carbon ceramic brake package delivers the stopping power expected of a supercar.

Honda’s credentials as a manufacturer of more conventional vehicles shines through inside the cabin with details such as the reversing camera and the comfortable ride. This is a vehicle that Senna would have been just as happy to take to the shops or for laps of Suzuka.

Times may have changed since the 1990s, but the stunning NSX is proof that sometimes the best things stay just the same.

Richard Ryan is an Australia-based journalist and car enthusiast.

SPECS Price From $420,000 Engine 3.5-litre V6 twin-turbo, electric motors Output 427kW/646Nm Transmission 9-speed DSG; AWD Dimensions 4487mm (L), 1939mm (W), 1204mm (H) Weight 1776kg 0-100km/h 2.9 sec

本田的一款车？还登上了豪车杂志？确定没 有弄错？没错，全新本田NSX是一款售价42 万澳元的超级跑车，彻底颠覆了本田理智、 古板的产品形象。 NSX却拥有无可挑剔的血统，直戳大多数 汽车狂热者的情感软肋。2016年推出的NSX 迭代车型运用混合动力技术，配备一台3.5升 V6双涡轮发动机和三台电动机，一台位于后 轴，用于消除涡轮迟滞；另外两台则分别负责 两个前轮，这也成就了NSX的全时四驱加速 性能和惊人的转弯平衡能力。 超级跑车技术的应用，数据同样让人印象 深刻。该款车型的综合输出功率可达427千 瓦，最大综合扭矩为646牛米，最高时速可达 308千米/时，而百公里加速只需2.9秒。 考虑到最初的NSX是第一款采用全铝车 身的车型，该款车型的创新不仅延续了该系 列的辉煌传统，而且25年来汽车制造业一直 深受其影响。NSX采用9速双离合半自动变速 箱。车身采用空间框架设计，使用铝、超高强 度钢和其他刚性、轻质材料打造，其中某些 材料为首次在汽车车身设计中应用。NSX拥 有不同凡响的再生制动系统。线控制动系统 有着非凡的制动流畅性，而选配的碳陶瓷制 动套装则可以产生适合超级跑车的制动力。 该款车型的设计也充满尖端科技元素。 金属车身上大量斜线设计的应用，使内部的 11个散热器完美隐藏。 20世纪90年代以来，纵使时光变迁，惊艳 世人的NSX却再次证明了经典永恒不变。

Age is no barrier

Whisky is stretching its legs across the globe, with Continental Europe and even Australia taking the fight to the Scotch single malts While the Irish, Japanese, Canadians and Americans may argue – and with good reason – for many, Scotch has always been the be-all and end-all of whisky.

And yet, it might not be too long before we start seeing whiskies from Scandinavia, France, Germany and even Australia regularly populating our shelves with their own expressions – and not just blends, either.

Single malts from Sweden to compete with the Scottish? It could happen. And if you try Mackmyra, you might just think it already has.

Why are we seeing something of a distiller revolution? Because the vast demand for aged Scotch single malt has meant the whisky superpowers have been forced to produce bottles with, shock horror, no age on it.

Non-age statement whiskies, some very experimental, are pouring out of the likes of Glenfiddich. This means the snobbery attached with bottles not adorned with a number is reduced, and people are starting to realise that a whisky doesn’t have to age for 15 years to be any good. The knock-on effect is young distilleries can start bottling after three years and, if it’s any good, they won’t be hampered by a digit-free bottle. It’s much easier to start a whisky business knowing you’ll have a product in three to five years rather than having to sit and watch it age for a decade.

Forever the upstart, Australia are among those producing wonderful – even if, on occasion, frightfully young – whiskies. The likes of Lark, Nant and New World Whisky Company are among those to look out for. Age is just a number, remember, and in the case of whisky, it’s definitely worth looking past the birth certificate.

Alex Mead is a London-based journalist who thoroughly enjoys whisky.

酒香不必陈年

by New World Whisky Distillery has a sweet aromatic nose and is a treat on the palate. $181, newworldwhisky.com.au

威士忌在全球掀起阵阵热潮，欧洲大 陆、甚至澳大利亚都把目光投向了苏 格兰单一麦芽威士忌。 在爱尔兰、日本、加拿大和美国， 人们或许会 说苏 格兰威士忌现在是 而且将永 远 是 最 好、最 完美的威士 忌。很多人也同意这种说法，并且理 由 十足。但 是，用 不 了多 久 我 们 就 会 看 到产自斯 堪 的 纳 维 亚、法国、 德 国、甚至 澳 大利亚的威士忌出现 在 酒 架 上，各 有 特 色，绝 非混 酿 。 能 和 瑞 典产 苏 格兰 威士忌相 媲 美 的单一 麦 芽威士忌？您如果品尝过 MACKMYRA威士忌，这就不仅是一 种可能，而是一个事实了。 这场蒸馏革命缘何而起？面对陈 年苏格兰单一麦芽威士忌的巨大市场 需求，威士忌巨头们不得不生产没有 标注酿造年份的威士忌。 GLENFIDDICH等酒厂源源不断 地产出没有标注酿造年份的威士忌， 其中一些颇有试探市场的意思。这也 意味着过分看重酒标上数字的人正在 减少，人们开始意识到威士忌不必陈 年15年以上也可以很好喝。在这种冲 击下，年轻的蒸馏师们只需3年就能开 始装瓶，只要酒好，他们并不介意酒 标上不写年份。生产威士忌再也不必 坐等10年，而是3、5年就可以开始生 产，这让从事威士忌生意容易许多。 澳大利亚继续发挥弄潮儿精神， 生产出绝佳的浅龄威士忌，尽管有时 浅得让人震惊。LARK、NANT和NEW WORLD WHISKY COMPANY等酒厂 都是其中的佼佼者。请记住，年份只 不过是一个数字，就威士忌而言，那 绝不是最重要的。

DESTINATION: CHADSTONE For an experience in a class of its own, Chadstone – The Fashion Capital is a Melbourne itinerary essential for Chinese tourists, writes Nicole van Cuylenberg 想要获得无与伦比的独特体验，Chadstone时尚之都购物中心是中国游客在墨尔本之行 中不可或缺的一站，妮可•凡•库伦伯格（Nicole van Cuylenberg）如是写道。

F

ashion, dining, lifestyle, entertainment – Melbourne is a city that prides itself on excelling in all of these areas. So when you can get the very best of these all rolled into the one luxurious Melbourne precinct, you’re bound to find Melburnians, interstate visitors and even international visitors arriving in droves.

Opened in 1960, the Chadstone shopping centre is now the leading retail destination in the Victorian capital.

Billing itself as “Chadstone – The Fashion Capital”, its recent expansion means it’s now home to more than 500 stores, making it the largest shopping centre in Australia.

Chadstone is located in Melbourne’s south-east, en route to popular tourist destinations such as the wineries of the Yarra Valley, the beaches and golf courses of the mighty Mornington Peninsula, and beautiful Phillip Island, where you can catch the famous penguin parade at sunset every evening. In fact, there are also day tours to Phillip Island that depart from Chadstone, meaning you can stop by for a bite to eat, do some shopping and experience the joy of the penguin parade easily and conveniently in the space of a day.

Chadstone坐落于墨尔本东南部，是 墨尔本至多条主要景点旅行路线的必经之 地。无论去往雅拉谷（Yarra Valley）的 酒庄或壮美的莫宁顿半岛（Mornington Peninsula）上的海滩和高尔夫球场，或者 到美丽的菲利普岛（Phillip Island）观看 每天日落时分著名的企鹅归巢，都会路过 此地。实际上，也有从Chadstone出发前 往菲利普岛的一日游，这意味着您可以在 这里稍作停留，吃点东西购购物，然后再 去体验企鹅归巢带来的欢乐，度过轻松而 又省心的一天。 >

CHINA-FRIENDLY

With numbers of Chinese visitors to Melbourne on a continual rise, Chadstone has recently launched its special “China Welcome Initiative.” Mandarin-speaking customer service staff are on hand to help you navigate the centre and find what you’re looking for. UnionPay, a popular method of payment in China, is accepted at most Chadstone stores, and you can even receive rewards for using it – spend more than $500 and you’ll receive an exclusive gift from top Australian beauty brand, Jurlique.

It doesn’t end there. Mandarin digital information directories can be used on-site. There’s free, highspeed Wi-Fi throughout the centre – always handy >

It boasts Australia’s first grid shell roof, an impressive architectural design feature comprised of 2,700 immaculate glass tiles. A true luxury destination, Chadstone – The Fashion Capital has recently welcomed Céline, Fendi, Givenchy, Dior Homme, Valentino and Loewe to its luxury mall.

Meanwhile, Manning Cartell, founded in 2005 by sisters Cheryl, Vanessa and Gabrielle Manning, boasts beautiful Australian-made collections that reflect quality, respect and an ethical approach to fashion. The fusion of innovative fabrics, textures, print and imagery gives Manning Cartell its distinctive imprint, encompassing visual richness framed by craftsmanship and attention to detail.

THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY How do you put a stop to your skin’s natural signs of ageing? Luxury skincare brand La Prairie believes the answers can be found in science. We chat to Belinda Besant, La Prairie’s Skin Care Expert, about the brand’s history, discoveries and most exclusive ingredients... 肌肤老化怎么办？肌肤护理奢侈品牌莱珀妮（La Prairie）相信，答案就在科学之中。莱珀妮护 肤专家比琳达•贝赞特（Belinda Besant）为我们分享品牌历史、科学探索和独家配方……

hen you think of caviar, skincare isn’t usually the first thing that pops into your head; more like canapés on a superyacht.

But that is what sets La Prairie apart from the rest. No ingredient is too rare or too uncommon when it comes to making good on their promise: ageless beauty and infinite luxury.

Whether it’s gold, platinum or caviar, if research and science can prove that these ingredients have age-defying elements, that’s enough for La Prairie to embrace them and make them the base of a collection of products in an ever-growing range. It’s also what has positioned them as one of the world’s most luxurious skincare brands.

From the beginning, La Prairie have been paving the way in skincare. Their avant-garde approach made them the first to apply cellular research to problems of ageing skin with the exclusive Cellular Complex found in the first Eye Contour Cream, launched in 1978. Today, that same complex is being used in products, both new and continued. To discover more about La Prairie’s new-age take on skincare, we sat down with Belinda Besant, the brand’s Skin Care Expert, as she shared more on the history of La Prairie and how the brand continues to stay at the forefront of the always-changing industry with new innovations.

Tell us a bit about La Prairie’s history...

La Prairie began in Montreux, Switzerland, beneath the summits of the Alps and by the ancient shores of Lake Léman, as Clinique La Prairie. The clinic was home to a brilliant doctor who believed science would one day unlock the secret of eternal youth.

Through years of research, the doctor found a way to restore and prolong skin’s health and vitality.

1. Get to know your skin.

Knowing what skin concerns you have is the most important part of getting the results you want!

2. Try to form a routine.

Using your products with regularity helps to ensure you get the best results.

Have them on display to keep them top of mind.

3. Don’t be afraid to change.

Throughout the year, the needs of your skin may change and your skincare needs to adjust to meet that. A different textured moisturiser, the addition of a mask.

4. Don’t forget the eyes!

This skin needs extra help.

Highly mobile, with a delicate texture, it is more prone to ageing. Always use a specific eye cream to treat this fragile area.

5. Exfoliate each week.

It’s the quickest way to brighten the skin and allows maximum absorption of the skincare to follow.

The products are made in Switzerland, and the ingredients are sourced from around the world.

“CAVIAR IS SCIENTIFICALLY RENOWNED FOR ITS NUTRIENTS AND HEALTH BENEFITS”

The Skin Caviar range is one of your most iconic ranges. Why was caviar chosen as a main ingredient?

In the 1980s, the scientists at La Prairie went in pursuit of revolutionary skincare that would represent unparalleled luxury and launch a new era in anti-ageing. From this, pure caviar extract was discovered as an anti-ageing skin fortifier.

Caviar is scientifically renowned for its nutrients and health benefits; not only did it become a symbol of prestige and opulence, but the sturgeon’s ability to live in the seas for more than 100 years also revealed that it is rich in life-supporting minerals, vitamins, amino acids and omega-3 fatty acids.

In 1987, the Skin Caviar Collection was born, and it has since earned a reputation for its lifting and firming abilities, luxurious textures and profound results.

Why do you think the Skin Caviar range became such a success?

The Skin Caviar collection and its cobalt blue packaging has become one of the most recognisable in the brand, our very own icon. La Prairie was the first skincare brand to harvest Caviar’s benefits and offer it to customers as a skincare product. This offering broke boundaries within the industry and the product became a symbol of opulence. Its outstanding results have cemented this reputation to this day. > Blue and gold standard: The Skin Caviar collection, which is famous for its cobalt blue packaging, has become a La Prairie icon

La Prairie is known for being excessively opulent.

Was this always part of the brand’s plan, or has it evolved naturally over time?

This positioning has always been a part of the brand’s initial identity, as it is a direct consequence of La Prairie’s promise and boundless quest for timeless beauty, its dedication to the most sophisticated science and the use of the world’s rarest and finest ingredients.

For someone who has never used La Prairie, what would be a product you’d introduce to a first-timer?

All of the different La Prairie collections and products are created to target specific skin concerns.

For example, the Skin Caviar Collection products focus on lifting and firming the skin, while deeply hydrating.

The White Caviar Collection lifts and firms, with an added focus on brightening, and the products in our most decadent collection, the Platinum collection, provide ultimate rejuvenation for all skin types.

A La Prairie first-timer would be advised to discover what their skin concerns are so we can ensure they are using the right La Prairie products, for ultimate results. This tailored service offering for the specific needs of our customers is a crucial part of our brand identity – we offer complimentary skin consultations at all our La Prairie counters.

Søren Lynggaard Søren Lynggaard, CEO of Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, shares his love of fine jewellery, its craftsmanship and how important family ideals are to the company OLE LYNGGAARD COPENHAGEN首席执行官索伦•林 格德（SØREN LYNGGAARD）分享他对高级珠宝及其加工 工艺的热爱，并讲述家庭理想对于公司的重要性。 On the history of Ole Lynggaard...

On design inspiration...

OLE LYNGGAARD发展历程……

设计灵感……

My father Ole spent years as a jeweller working across the world in Paris, New York, Persia and all through Europe, and when he came back to Denmark his head was exploding with ideas and inspiration from all these cultures. He wanted to start this company as a one-man show. Growing up as kids we were a big part of the company, helping him with events and sales and working in the workshop. And today, my father, at 80, and my sister are still the main designers. It’s very much a family business.

Design ideas come from everywhere, whether it’s on holidays or in the forest with your kids. My sister and my father are always looking at things and getting inspiration from nature and people.

My father always says he makes designs for my mother. Our jewellery is not fashion jewellery; ours is timeless.

我的父亲奥勒（OLE）是一名珠宝匠人，曾经在巴 黎、纽约、波斯和欧洲各地工作，从各种文化中 积累了诸多想法和灵感。回到丹麦之后，他决定 创立自己的公司，并且独自经营。我们几个孩子从 小就是公司的重要部分，帮助父亲组织活动，进 行销售，也在工作室做些工作。我的父亲现在已 经79岁了，他和我的姐姐仍然是公司的主要设计 师。OLE LYNGGAARD是全家人的事业。

On the importance of family... 家庭的重要性……

We’re a family-driven company but also a design-driven company. This has been extremely important for the way our company has evolved. We’re making designs for tomorrow rather than catering to the now. Our ambitions and goals are not financial but about brand building. It’s our family name, and it’s something we want to be proud of and last for many years. 我们是一个家族企业，同时也是一个以设计为重 的企业。这一点在企业的发展历程中极其重要。我 们的设计不是为了取悦当下，而是面向未来。我们 的目标并非营利，而是打造品牌。这是我们家庭的 声誉，希望在多年之后仍能够引以为傲。 162

On his love of China...

不管是在度假当中，还是带孩子到森林里玩儿的 时候，我们发现设计灵感的慧眼似乎无处不在。 我的姐姐和父亲时刻都在观察周围的事物，从 自然和人那里获得灵感。父亲总说，他是为我的 母亲而设计。我们的珠宝不是迎合潮流之物，而 是永恒佳作。

对中国的热爱……

On his love of Australia...

我曾经坐过24小时火车，从北京一直坐到武当山 外的一座寺院，在那儿学了几个月功夫，那段经 历实在是太棒了。那个地方非常美，适合登山和 探险，几百万级古老的台阶还有寺院散落在山中 各处。

对澳大利亚的热爱……

I first came to Australia when I was a teenager because I was sick of school and just wanted to get as far away as possible and became a jackaroo. Here, I was suddenly treated as an adult. Years later, I came back to Sydney when we were launching our Sydney flagship store. It’s a fantastic city with amazing restaurants with a lot of pulse. I like to just get a motorbike and explore the city and beaches and get a feel for it. It’s definitely a country where you want to come back and hire a caravan and just go surfing. 我第一次来到澳大利亚时还未成年，那时候我讨 厌上学，只想跑到最远的农场见习。来到这儿， 突然之间人们都把我当成大人一样对待。多年 以后，悉尼旗舰店开业的时候，我又回到这里。 悉尼是一座非常棒的城市，餐厅超级赞，很有活 力。我喜欢骑着摩托探索和感受这座城市和这 里的海滩。澳大利亚绝对让人想要再次回来，租 一台箱型车、然后尽情地去冲浪。

I travelled 24 hours by train from Beijing to a monastery in the Wudang Mountains outside to study Kung Fu for a few months, which was a fantastic experience. It’s a beautiful place for hikes and exploration, millions of ancient steps and monasteries scattered through the ranges.

On travelling to new places... 到新地方旅行……

My favourite way to see a new city when I travel is by either walking through the streets or getting a motorcycle. Riding around Bangkok was one of my more interesting experiences.

Motorbikes and scooters are a nice way to get an overview of a new city like LA or Paris. I find shopping a bit boring, so being able to explore on my own lets me see everything I want. 来到一座新的城市，我最喜欢在街道上步行或者 骑上摩托去探索一番。最有意思的一次骑行是在 曼谷。第一次到洛杉矶或巴黎这样的城市，要想 对其有个整体的了解，骑摩托或轻型摩托是个不 错的选择。我觉得购物有点无聊，所以喜欢自由 自在地探索，这样才能看到希望看到的一切。
