ake a beautifying rose tea ‘journey’ in Shanghai; bathe in a pool of petals in Lijiang; enjoy a Longjiang tea scrub in Hangzhou; or have your problems soothed away by a pumpkin and rice body conditioner in Yunnan.

China has the solution to all your aches, pains, troubles and stresses, with its vast collection of luxurious spas.

As you’ll discover on pages 78 to 86, whether you’re enjoying a city break or some of China’s more beautiful rural destinations, a five-star spa is never far away.

The same can be said of hotels. We’re home to some of the world’s most stunning, and as Alicia Miller reveals on pages 120 to 128, nobody does opulence and style quite like some of the places to stay in China.

Also inside this issue, we visit the city of Chongqing, sample the beauty of our water towns, and reveal all the latest events across the country in the coming months.

his issue is all about relaxation – something China offers more so than any other country in the world.

Whether you’re being tempted by the countless spa breaks in cities and provinces across the country (pages 78-86) or want to treat yourself to the ultimate stay in the lap of luxury at one of the many five-star hotels China has to offer (pages 120-128), there’s something for everyone’s taste.

Perhaps the most relaxing places of all are those that don’t necessarily involve a hot stone massage or super-soft kingsize bed. Take, for instance, China’s water towns. Avoid peak times and a stroll around these areas to transport yourself to simpler, quieter times, as we do on pages 98-106.

Elsewhere (pages 58-66), Qin Xie is dazzled by the city lights of Chongqing, and is equally enthralled by its famous hot pot. And as always, we have all the upcoming highlights from across China and Australia. Enjoy.

C O C K TA I L H O U R While Shanghai has lead the way for China’s booming cocktail scene, Beijing is certainly catching up with bars like Janes and Hooch. The Chicago-style speakeasy is a favourite among locals.

Aside from the cocktails, a selective menu of champagne, bourbon, rye and whiskey is on offer, though some of the more expensive tipples are only available by the bottle. janeshooch.com

Home grown Beijing is currently being flooded with gleaming new international five-star hotels (just flick to our feature on the best to open this year, page 118), but here is a must-stay from a local hotel chain NUO...

3 reasons to stay...

• NUO is one of the country’s first home-grown luxury hotel brands. You can expect authentic Chinese-inspired designs and heritage.

• Located near Beijing’s Art Zone 798, NUO is a contemporary showcase of unique design that is inspired by both its urban location and the ‘Golden Age’ of the Ming Dynasty.

• A destination in its own right, the hotel will feature its own art gallery – featuring custom-works from Zeng Fanzhi – as well as restaurants and bars.

ON YOUR BIKE! Urban tours are fast becoming the most popular way to explore Beijing. Taking a cue from the locals, hop on a bike and zig-zag through the ancient alleyways and hutongs of Beijing, ride along the moat of the Forbidden City and learn the secrets of the ancient city with Beijing Urban Adventures.

多姿多彩的南澳州 潘华 胡玫

澳洲在1851年发现金矿以后，许多中国 劳工远涉重洋来到澳洲，殖民者却规定每个 从悉尼港登陆的华人劳工必须缴纳10镑人头 税。当年这10镑对两手空空到澳洲来打工的 华人而言，无疑是笔巨款。 为了避税，他们不得不改从 南澳的阿德莱德港、曼宁基 以及罗勃登陆，随后步行穿 过400多公里的丛林和原野抵 达墨尔本。途中有不少华人 因长期饥饿、劳累和疾病倒在丛林里，在曼 宁基附近的田野里至今还保留了中国劳工沿 途取水的遗址“中国人井”。 莱特上校奉命负责勘查南澳的海岸线，发 现了阿德莱德地区的大面积沃野，于是选择 和规划了该殖民区的首府建城地址。后来这 个城市以英王威廉四世的皇后ADELAIDE的名 字命名，即是现在的南澳首府阿德莱德市。

“澳大利亚百分之六十的葡 萄酒产于南澳” 在芭萝莎谷数千公顷的土地上，溢满了葡 萄酒的醇香，人们把酿酒当做艺术来享受。世 界著名葡萄酒品牌奔富(PENFOLDS)和杰卡斯 (JACOB’S CREENK)的总部都在这里。到了 南澳，如果没有品尝芭萝莎谷的葡萄酒那就是 一大遗憾。（本文部分内容取自于由胡玫、方 腾在澳大利亚SBS国家民族广播电台编播制作 的系列节目《南方大陆—澳大利亚》。） ◆

澳州位于澳大利亚中南部，是 一个非常美丽、富饶、宁静、又 略带乡村气息的州。首府阿德 莱德地区原是土著KAURNA族 的居住地，他们祖祖辈辈生活在这里，把这 里称为红袋鼠（TARNDARNYA）。欧州殖 民者占据了这块土地后，南澳成为新南威尔 士殖民区一部分。1834年，英国议会通过了 《南澳大利亚法案》，允许其从新南威尔士分 离，成为独立的自治殖民区。和澳大利亚其 他殖民区不同的是，南澳从建立起就没有流 放犯，完全由自由移民组成。 1836年，两艘载着546名移民的海轮从英 国到达阿德莱德地区，确定这里作为移民据 点。这些新移民中有转业军官等各种人，但 大多数人是劳动群众，他们在威克菲尔德殖 民原则指导下开始建立垦殖实验区，大肆躯 逐当地土著人，迫使他们流离失所。

阿德莱德可以说是个非常年轻的城市，她 在农畜产品集散地的基础上逐步发展，建立了 加工工业。1853年墨累河通航后，阿德莱德开 始与其他州展开州际交易。20世纪40年代末， 由于邻近的米德尔巴克山脉铁矿和利克里克煤 矿的开采而发展起重工业，港口亦随之扩展。 阿德莱德以宗教开放、政治开明和市民 自由为宗旨，长期保持着一个清教城市的风 格。1970年起，州政府开始了“文化复兴” 政策，进行了一系列社会改革，将阿德莱德 发展成一个以文化艺术为中心的现代化城市。 今天的阿德莱德以其五彩缤纷的节日、美味的 葡萄酒、著名的艺术和体育竞赛著称，她的 自然及野生生态让人目不暇接。当你面对这片 被蜿蜒山脉、神秘沙漠以及独特岛屿点缀着 的浩瀚土地时，会发现那连绵的山峰、起伏 的山谷、葱郁的牧场、飘香的庄园、平静的 湖泊还有那延绵4,800公里的海滩会让你的天 堂之旅从这里开始飞翔。 作为一个著名的文化艺术之都，阿德莱 德的国际艺术节（WOMAD）集中体现了她 迷人的魅力。每两年一次的艺术节集中了世 界上最著名的传统和当代的音乐家和舞蹈 家，展示了他们最高超的艺术水平，领衔主 演了阿德莱德艺术节的主旋律。与此同步举 行的阿德莱德艺穗节则以其通俗化、大众化 和非传统化为主线，其内容包括音乐、舞蹈、 戏剧、喜剧、视觉艺术、电影、文学、酒吧 歌舞、街头表演、电子艺术等应有尽有。阿 德莱德艺穗节已经成为澳大利亚最大、世界 范围内仅次于爱丁堡艺术节的第二大艺术活 动。WOMAD国际艺术节和艺穗节通过不同 形式不同涵意的艺术活动共同构筑了阿德莱 德既高雅又通俗丰富的艺术盛宴。 当你漫游在南澳广阔秀丽的田野上时，你 似乎到处都可以闻到一阵阵扑面而来沁人心 扉的葡萄酒香。遍布南澳各地的葡萄酒庄 所生产的高质量葡萄酒享誉全球，从芭萝 莎（BAROSSA）的西拉子、嘉利谷（CLARE VALLEY）的雷司令，到库纳瓦拉（COONAWARRA）的各种顶级红酒，都会让你有一种 未尝先醉的感觉。澳大利亚百分之六十的葡 萄酒产于南澳，而南澳最有名的酿酒区是芭 萝莎谷（BAROSSA VALLEY）。

n Australia the definition of ‘winter escape’ means something a little different to the rest of the world.

Rather than retreating to a wooden cabin nestled in a snow-covered forest, Aussies spend the cooler months jet-setting to isles off the country’s north-eastern coast for a tropical getaway. And this winter there is one island locals can’t wait to visit: Orpheus Island.

The only way to Orpheus is via helicopter, and it’s the best way to start your trip.

Research station 奥费斯岛研究站位于先锋湾 （Pioneer Bay），您在这里能找到 一系列的研究设施，以及与活生生 的珊瑚礁亲密接触。

Located on Pioneer Bay is the Orpheus Island Research Station. You will be introduced to the research facilities and the live reef touch tanks for an up-close-andpersonal experience.

Upon arrival the island’s general manager, Ranaul Crabb, greets you with a friendly, “Welcome to our home.” It may seem unfathomable that someone could be so lucky to call this oasis home, but give it a few days and you’ll also feel like you’ve known the place your whole life. The thing about Orpheus is, it’s intimate. No more than 28 guests are catered for on the island at any one time, ensuring serenity and seclusion, making you feel like you have the whole place to yourself.

“We’re quite blessed to call this place home,” says Ranaul of the group of 30 hotel staff that reside on the island. “It’s even better that we get to share it with people from all around the world. It’s funny because when it’s time to say goodbye to guests and see them off on the chopper, we often find they go missing. They don’t want to leave and we don’t want them to leave. They’re not just guests to us; they’re our friends who have come to visit.” Staff are friendly and introductions are done on a first name basis.

There is no ‘Mr. and Mrs.’ here. Orpheus represents that quintessential laid-back luxury that Australia does so well.

The rooms are big and spacious, and incorporate a beachy, indoor-outdoor theme.

Recently renovated, the South Suites – the resort’s top offering – have bi-fold doors that open the front wall of the living room to reveal an outdoor lounge with ocean views. There’s also an outdoor stone bath nestled in the back

corner of your bathroom. While there is an all-natural feel to the accommodation, your mod-cons are still included with two flat-screen televisions and a Nespresso machine for those of us who, even on a holiday, can’t kick the caffeine habit.

Breaking down the formal barriers of staying at a luxury hotel, none of the add-ons come at a cost. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the room price; whatever you pull from the mini bar isn’t added to a bill at the end of your stay; and you’re welcome to help yourself to unlimited beer, wine and snacks from the poolside bar, just as you would at home – that is, if you happen to have a poolside bar and unlimited supply at home.

Everything at the resort is for your own use.

If you’re up for a day adventure, head out on a motorised dinghy to a nearby private beach, or spend the morning paddle boarding. If fishing is more your bag, the Orpheus team will load the boat with rods and bait and take you out for the day in hopes of bringing back some Coral Trout for dinner, which the chef will happily cook up for you.

“We have 36 hens on the island that we collect eggs from to use for breakfast, and also a huge herb and garden vegetable patch,” says Arie.

“We grow everything from limes to tomatoes to olives. We’ll even cook a fish you’ve caught from a day out on the water. We’re super flexible.”

Each meal cooked for a guest is refined to their flavour palate. Before arriving on the island you’re asked to fill out a ‘Your stay’ form and list your likes and dislikes, and allergies.

You can be as specific as saying you hate basil, and not a hint of basil will appear in any of your meals. “I think that’s what I love most about my job, is that it is always challenging.

Constructing an individual menu for each guest every single night keeps it interesting,” says Arie. “And so do the people. I remember one guest turned to me after the meal and said, ‘Arie, this was amazing, but tomorrow night I really just feel like a steak.’ So instead of a four-course degustation he got a steak and was happy with that. It’s about giving people what they want.

ADVENTURE ISLAND Experiences aren’t limited to the kitchen. The waters surrounding Orpheus provide some of the most pristine bays and reefs you’ll find. It’s worth venturing out to Pioneer Bay to explore a giant clam nursery populated with 300 molluscs each weighing up to 200kg each.

Hinchinbrook Island, Australia’s largest island National Park, is just a 30-minute chopper ride away. You can also tour the glorious channel between Hinchinbrook and Cardwell Coast by boat charter. Embark on a guided walk along rainforest-clad trails to the famous Zoe and Mulligan waterfalls or try saltwater crocodile spotting in the island’s waterways.

For those who’d rather keep their feet on land there’s the Gwandalan Day Spa. Treatments feature LI’TYA products, which are based on Indigenous Australian plants and incorporate the principles of herbalism, aromatherapy and touch therapy. Like most things on Orpheus, your time in the spa is tailored to you. Simply tell the therapist the areas you’d like her to target, pick a scent you like and jump on the bed while the therapist picks a treatment that will best suit your needs.

After a weekend of indulging in the finest food and filling your days with adventures at sea, long visits to the spa and a dip (or two) in the infinity pool, it’s fair to say you’ll find yourself - as Ranaul could have predicted from your arrival - not wanting to leave. ◆

he heat is relentless. Not the humid, sticky heat of Chengdu. No. Thanks to the scorching sun and stillness of the air, this is a sort of dry, baking heat that doesn’t let up. Even in October. Instead, while the rest of the region is cooling with the autumn rain, the thermometer here hovers at 30ºC. We are in Chongqing – one of the Yangtze’s three furnace cities.

The thing that really differentiates Chongqing from the rest of Southwest China isn’t necessarily the weather.

Rather, thanks to its centrally controlled economic policies, Chongqing has been one of the fastest growing cities not just in the west of China, but also in the world. And that booming economy has been made more visible by the staggering number of skyscrapers in the city’s locale.

Despite Chongqing’s reputation as a sexy, modern city, we start our exploration at west bank’s Ciqikou or ‘Little Chongqing’. Known as the “ancient town in a modern city,” Ciqikou is a hillside millennial metropolis absorbed into Chongqing’s suburbs by the encapsulating high rises.

We walk up from the Yangtze river bank, through the ancient town’s central street. It’s not a weekend, but the hilly stone-paved paths are bustling with cosmopolitan visitors. The tiny uphill passage is lined with rows of aged wood and mud-brick constructions of no more than two

我们从长江江畔走上去，到古 镇的主街上。我们到访的时候并 不是周末，却已经是人山人海，充 斥着来自大都市的游客。沿着上 山狭窄的石径两旁有一排不超过 两层高，用木材及泥砖建成的老 房子。再往旁边走就是一些更狭 窄的小径，那边是居民的房子。 而在他们后面一点，信步便能到 达21世纪的大桥。 不过重庆是一个新旧并列的城 市。比如建于1954年，拥有4,200 个座位，仿照北京天坛而建的人 民大礼堂的对面就是外观现代摩 登的三峡博物馆；还有于1940年 代落成的解放碑也被众多光鲜明 亮、售卖进口奢侈商品的旗舰店 环绕着。 磁器口跟城市里的其他地方一 样商业化。以前以生产瓷器而闻 名，今天演变成商店林立、汇聚 许多咖啡厅以及贩卖手工食品餐 厅的地方。各式各样的小吃包括 塞满烩菠菜、煮鸡蛋或是炒牛肉 片的生煎包，还能在巨大的瓷碗里

storeys. Shooting off to the side are even narrower streets winding up or downhill to obscured family homes. Behind them, within walking distance, are 21st century flyovers.

But then, Chongqing is full of such juxtapositions.

Like the People’s Auditorium, the 4,200-seater theatre built in 1954 and modelled on the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, which faces the contemporary facade of the Three Gorges Museum. Or the People’s Liberation Monument, a 1940s war memorial column, which is surrounded by the flashing lights of flagship stores selling imported luxury goods.

LITTLE CHONGQING Like the rest of the city, Ciqikou is highly commercialised.

When it was a town in its own right, it was known for the production of porcelain, or Ci Qi. Today, under the slanted roof of decorative tiles, are shops, cafes and restaurants selling artisanal food products. Pan-fried breads of floury white, golden yellow and crispy shredded nests line many a stall, filled with braised spinach, hard-boiled eggs and even stir-fried beef fillet. Enormous porcelain bowls are topped with Sichuan peppercorns, green peppercorns, dried chillies, chopped fresh chillies, chilli flake oil and other classic Chongqing flavours.

At one stall, icy cups of sour plum juice stop our feet.

It sounds like a real thirst-quencher, but new season sugar canes just came to market and so we opt for a cool glass fresh from the press. Just-peeled canes, almost as thick as bamboos and shaved of their purple-black skin, are fed through the hand-cranked press, from which a small,

HOT TO POT No visit to Chongqing would be complete without sampling the city’s hot pot, its famous culinary invention.

Once the simple supper of river boat workers, it’s now a gourmet staple. We head to Jiang An, one of the old hot-pot restaurants nestled under the nearby Changbin Road and backing out onto the river, for the authentic experience.

With three bare walls and a staggered, tiled roof, most of the tables at this simple, undressed restaurant are outside. Wooden benches surround square tables where, at the centre and taking pride of place, is a blackened wok holding a ready-to-melt spice block. Dried chilli, Sichuan peppercorns and ginger are immediately visible in the still-solid oil but the rest of the secret blend is hidden in its dense mass. It’s clearly going to be a flavoursome experience. And a spicy one.

Seeing that we were obviously first timers, the waitress asks: “Do you want really hot or just a little bit hot?” With the heat of the city quite enough for us, we opt for the mild. The waitress lights the gas hob below with a swift flare and soon the spice block starts to melt, gradually lowering the nine-hole divider that’s characteristic of Chongqing hot pots. Moments later, she brings over another pot of bubbling liquid, a hot chilli stock, and pours it over the top of the liquefying spice. Now we have our heat.

As the hot pot holds just one flavour, the divider serves only as a means to separate the different ingredients once the cooking starts. In the early days of the hot pot, it was

Pot shot RENOWNED IN THE REGION, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE SURE TO FIND SCRUMPTIOUS HOT POT IN CHONGQING

We stop to try one. The crumbly, golden twist has a light coating of rock sugar, adding a subtle sweetness to its biscotti texture. It’s moreish, so we also try a Sichuan peppercorn flavoured one, and a honey one, and a salt-and-pepper one. This once rather plain little treat has now become a variety box of its own.

After sampling the delights at Cheng Family Ma Hua, we head to Chongqing’s famous landmark, Chao Tian Men, where Jialing River merges into the Yangtze, splitting the city into three. We pass Hong Yan Dong along the way, a cliff-face cave surrounded by faux-imperial buildings populated with shops and eateries. Chongqing is perhaps one of only a handful of cities that can boast of inner-city cliffs, cut by the torrent of the two rivers. The division was once much more clear cut – Chongqing was the “city on the banks of two rivers” as the only way to reach the other side was by boat or cable car. Now, there are more than 25 bridges criss-crossing the rivers, connecting each third of this thriving city. The cable car continues to run, but only as a tourist attraction.

At Chao Tian Men, we walk along the harbour. Lying at the tip of the Chongqing peninsula, it’s the departure point for the Three Gorges cruise boats. Facing the dovetail of the two rivers, you get a panoramic view of the city. To the right, across the Yangtze, block after block of lofty residential buildings flank banking towers and luxury hotels. To the left, separated by the Jialing River, is the futuristic form of the Chongqing Grand Theatre, with more competing high rises.

It’s quite a breathtaking landscape of chic construction.

also how strangers shared one pot. According to a man on the next table, “In those days, if you were clever, you could fish around under the grill for... additional ingredients.”

And by that, he meant the lost morsels of his neighbour.

What makes the flavour “old Chongqing”, as many hot pot restaurants are now wont to proclaim, are in fact the Sichuan peppercorns. A Chongqing hot pot should always be more numbing than spicy. With the scarlet heads of chillies bobbing up and down in the bubbling wok, we’re not so sure it’s going to be anything less than an assault course. But, as it turns out, the hot pot isn’t as tongueobliterating as it looks. Of course it’s numbing, but only mildly so. Hitting us with more force is the concentration and intensity of the Sichuan peppercorns’ subtle aromatics.

The experience is really one of a kind.

We finish eating long after sunset but, in Chongqing, night-time is when the real magic begins. After a winding drive up the South Mountain on the other side of the Yangtze, we get to the Yi Ke Shu viewing platform. At the top, Chongqing’s shimmering city lights finally reveal themselves in full; flashing, pulsing and cutting through the dark.

The Yangtze, bathing in this glow, looks almost alive.

A soft “wow” escapes our lips. Next to us, a Chongqinger visiting with friends laughs at our touristy outburst.

“This is nothing,” he tells us. “During Golden Week and the Spring Festival, Chongqing’s nightscape is lit up like the day.” Studding and bejewelling the mountains and divided by the torrent of rivers, it’s little wonder Chonqging’s other moniker is ‘Hong Kong of the west’. ◆

“到重庆一定要吃上当地著 名的火锅才不枉此行” 微辣还是大辣？” 炎热的天气让我们选择了微辣。 服务员把炉头点燃，香料块便慢 慢融化，分布在9个格子之中，锅 里面有9个格子是正宗重庆火锅 的特色。片刻之后，服务员端来 一盘热辣汤往锅里浇，汤跟已融 化的香料油混在一起，热气上腾， 我们也跟着热血沸腾起来。 整个锅的味道是一样的，分开 9格是为了摆放不同的食材。早期 吃火锅是跟陌生人共用一锅，每 人用一个格子的。 根据旁边一桌的客人，“那时 候，如果您够聪明，还可以找一 下看有没有……加料。”他的意思 是指别人格子里留下的剩菜。 很多餐厅都标榜“老重庆”风 味，这种独特的味道其实是来自 四川胡椒籽。正宗的重庆火锅一 定是麻多于辣。 辣椒在沸腾的铁锅里上下翻腾，

不过原来吃下去没有看上去的恐 怖。麻还是有的，不过只是一点 点而已。让我们更加受不了的是 四川胡椒籽扑鼻而来浓烈的香味， 这个味道真的是非常特别。 我们在酒足饭饱时夜幕已经低 垂，可是重庆的晚上却仍然灯火 通明，人头攒动，热闹非常。我 们在长江的另一边开车来到南山一 棵树观景台。从观景台俯瞰五光 十色的重庆市，灯光在黑夜里闪 烁跳动，长江在灯光辉映下充满 活力。 一声“哇”轻轻地从我们的嘴 唇溜出。在我们旁边与朋友同行 的重庆人讥笑着我们这些游客看 到夜景之后的反应。 他跟我们说，“这不算得是什 么。每逢黄金周与春节，重庆的夜 景仿如日间般明亮。” 怪不得重庆的另外一个绰号 是“西边的香港”。◆

Street food STREET ADL MIGHT BE KNOWN FOR ITS BAR, BUT ITS SIMPLE AUSSIE EATS ARE WHAT MAKE YOU STICK AROUND

ome call Adelaide the 15-minute city – it takes only 15 minutes to reach the beach, the Mount Lofty Ranges or the wineries of the Adelaide Hills. Others call it the ‘City of Churches’, because of its disproportionately huge number of churches commanding every second corner. It’s a reminder that Adelaide was founded by free settlers with strong tradition, even if today it’s the cafes and boutique bars on every other corner that draw the true disciples.

There’s something strangely European about walking along the North Terrace of Adelaide, the city’s cultural hub. Cobbled streets lead down alleyways to boulevard housing and sturdy stone buildings that were most likely once something more dignified but are now, well, more cafes and bars. But these relics of the past aren’t being muscled out just yet; rather, the city’s past is being embraced.

Named after a forgotten queen of King William IV, the city of Adelaide started its life in 1836 a little differently to the rest of Australia’s other major cities. Settled only by free people, Adelaide was built on the wealth of its populace rather than British Government handouts. A wheat boom in the late 1800s brought with it some of the city’s most impressively ornate sandstone buildings,

while rapid expansion post-WWII brought Italian migrants and, with them, a diversified cafe culture. Farms quickly became churches, which became towns, which bloomed into a cosmopolitan metropolis – one that has had as many booms as busts.

Despite its rich history and beautifully maintained heritage buildings, many Australians once viewed Adelaide as little more than an overgrown country town, but over the last five years, after the introduction of some major public projects and relaxed licensing laws, the city has come into its own and has been swarmed by wine bars, restaurants and chefs looking to revive the city once again.

FOR THE FOOD LOVERS

Food heaven FROM EATERIES LIKE SEAN’S KITCHEN TO BARS LIKE 2KW, THERE ARE ALWAYS NEW THINGS TO TRY

Sometimes all the culture and history in the world – like the neatly lined South Australia Museum, State Library and Parliament House along the North Terrace – can’t pull you away from a good feed, something the lucky locals live for.

Sean’s Kitchen, a New York-style brasserie facing some of the city’s most prized buildings, opened its doors in late 2014. Serving up fresh seafood and hearty meals for the soul, like South Australian lamb shoulder in liquorice gravy, award-winning chef Sean Connelly has found his home in the cultural hub of the city.

“I’ve run restaurants all across Australia and have seen the cities grow around me. Adelaide has always been a bit of an underdog, but food and local produce has always been at its heart – and it doesn’t hurt being located on the city’s most beautiful strip,” says Connelly.

Cured meats hang handsomely at one end of the restaurant, while the open-plan kitchen fills the space with the smell of mum’s kitchen. It’s a busy space full of life and energy. How could it not be when everyone has a local wine in hand and a plate of cured meat in front of them?

One street over on bustling Rundle Street is Orana and Street ADL, a bar and highend restaurant combo. Orana serves up local ingredients with a twist on the second floor while Street ADL whips up quick Aussie eats and wine on the ground level. Orana, meaning ‘Welcome’ in Aboriginal dialects, is an intimate setting for less than 25 with every dish capturing and redefining the local ingredients, which are at its core. Chef and owner Jock Zonfrillo believes in getting the most out of his ingredients and highlighting the tastes and flavours of Australia’s native and indigenous surroundings.

In a flash he has whipped out a plate topped with a smoke-filled glass dome. As he raises the

all about local produce. We are a small city surrounded by wineries and farms and I want to work with where we are,” says Zonfrillo.

For restaurateurs and locals alike, there’s no passing up a visit to the Adelaide Central Market. Coffee, seafood, cured meats and local vegetables line the stalls; it’s every chef’s go-to source of fresh grub in Adelaide.

Downstairs in Street ADL – the offshoot of Orana with a more relaxed vibe – modern furniture and handcrafted ceramics have been traded for large wooden communal tables and steel stools. The atmosphere and clientele are drastically different, but the concept is the same. Locals peruse the impressive local wine collection curated in house, sipping on innovative cocktails and devouring another menu dedicated to unique Aussie flavours.

When it comes to drinking, locals have had to play catch-up in the last few years, and some of the best establishments only recently opened.

2KW Bar and Restaurant is one of the latest to spring up and make a name for itself. This rooftop bar knows its focus and sticks to it, providing simple yet elegant tapas plates such as eye fillet tartare or crispy spiced half duck, and a solid wine and cocktail list, all set among beautifully designed wooden and brass furniture.

But it’s the unobscured view over the north side of the city that has people talking. Come sunset, it’s one of the liveliest bars in the city.

However, for the small bar scene, which has seen an eruption, the place to go to sip a Negroni cocktail in a former department store loading dock (if that is your thing) in the West End’s revitalised laneways. Here it’s all about the tiny pop-up bars like Clever Little Tailor, where you’ll find yourself standing shoulderto-shoulder with 60 of your closest new friends.

With bars on the mind, it’s hard to visit Adelaide without being distracted by wine. Every restaurant, small bar and many cafes feature some of the most impressive wine collections in Australia, thanks in part to being no more than 20 minutes from the Adelaide Hills wine region (or 60 minutes’ drive to the world famous Barossa Valley). With small bars and restaurants embracing local produce and local culture, the winemaking industry – particular in the area of boutique wines – is flourishing.

Wine bars are more prevalent here than in Sydney and Melbourne as the slow pace, climate and cafe culture encourages locals to take the time to sit and sip their afternoons away. Quiet, leafy alleys like Vardon Avenue, off Rundle Street, feature some of the best wine

bars in the city, such as Mother Vine and the Tasting Room. Sitting opposite each other, wine is at the heart of both, but while Mother offers an elegant setting, simple minimalist design with polished concrete floors and a wall of wine to get lost in, the Tasting Room is all about community.

Customers inside the Tasting Room chat with anyone and everyone around them, sharing thoughts on the latest harvest, mumbling words such as ‘complex’ and ‘creamy’ as they hold glasses of red up to their noses.

Like truffle-hunting pigs, most Adelaideans have developed an instinctively keen nose for quality wines. Between the tables littered with empty glasses are oversized boards with in-house cured meats and fresh cheeses being picked apart by happy customers. Owner Michael Andrewartha hovers between tables, sharing his knowledge of the region and taking a few sneaky sips for himself. Like many bars in Adelaide, it’s as much about being a local as it is being a business.

Adelaide’s humble roots have given the city a small-town community feel, while its elegant architecture and rich history entwined with a modern setting mean the past is never forgotten. With a surge of small bars and audacious chefs, Adelaide has well and truly brushed off its ‘humdrum’ persona to become one of the most stylish and adventurous cities in Australia, and one worth every traveller’s time. It may have fallen off the maps of many, but Adelaide has well and truly made its grand return. ◆

酒之丰富让人惊叹，其中 一个原因可能是这里距离 阿德莱德山（Adelaide Hills）产酒区只有20分钟 的路程（距世界知名的芭 萝莎谷60分钟的车程） 。随着越来越多小酒吧以 及餐厅支持本土出产和本 地文化，酿酒业——尤其 是在精品葡萄酒方面也越 发兴旺。比起悉尼和墨尔 本，酒吧文化在阿德莱德 更加流行，有鉴于她拥有 比较缓慢的节奏、气候以 及咖啡文化等各种元素结 合起来，形成当地人比较 愿意放慢步调，度过一个 轻松恰意的下午。 城内一些很棒的酒吧 都在绿树成荫的僻静小 巷里，如位于蓝道大街 旁边瓦登大道（Vardon Avenue）的Mother

Vine和TheTasting Room。两家酒吧就在对 方的对面，皆是以酒为卖 点。可是Mother Vine的 设置比较高雅，抛光的 混凝土地板还有放满各种 酒类的墙壁，设计非常简 约，而Tasting Room是 轻松同乐的风格。 客人在The Tasting Room内都与身边的人攀 谈，交流最近收成的心 得，当他们把装着红酒 的酒杯靠近鼻子时，会 说出“复杂”和“绵密 柔顺”之类的字眼。许 多阿德莱德人的鼻子都 被训练得非常敏锐，能 分别出酒的优劣。桌子 上除了有许多空杯子之 外，还有自家制的腌肉和 新鲜的奶酪，都是快乐的 客人点的。老板Michael

Andrewartha穿梭于各 桌之间，跟大家分享他对 这区的知识，偶尔还会偷 偷呷上两口小酒。跟许多 其他在阿德莱德的酒吧一 样，生意就是要贴近当地 的文化及需求。 因阿德莱德卑微的起 源让整个城市有种小镇的 感觉，非常亲切。高贵优 雅的建筑和丰厚的历史与 现代的设置交织在一起， 证明过去是没有被遗忘 的。随着各种小酒吧和大 胆创新的厨师的兴起，阿 德莱德真正摆脱了“单调 乏味”，变成澳大利亚一 个最时尚、最大胆创新的 城市之一，值得每一个旅 客到访。阿德莱德或许曾 经被许多人遗忘，现在就 是阿德莱德隆重回归的时 候了。 ◆

Magill Estate Cellar Door 距澳大利亚市中心仅15分钟车程便来到位于山脚下的玛吉尔酒庄，这里是澳大利亚最具代表性的葡 萄酒葛兰许（Grange）诞生的地方。奔富以品质上乘和历史悠长而名扬四海，它的酒庄让您沉浸在 170年历史当中。您可以自己漫游在美丽的酒庄里，穿越于葡萄藤之间，或是参加导览团，品尝酒庄 里最让人崇拜的葡萄酒。如果您有空，记得前往玛吉尔酒庄餐厅尝试一下阿德莱德当季的佳肴。 Nestled in the foothills of Adelaide less than 15 minutes outside of the city lies the historic birthplace of Australia's most iconic wine, Grange. Penfolds is a name known across the world for its quality and its history and its cellar door allows you to immerse yourself in 170 years of tradition. Roam the beautiful estate on your own, soaking in the vines and surrounds, or take a guided tour through the original home of Penfolds and sample the winery's esteemed portfolio of wines.

Lathered up, massaged, exfoliated and detoxed – Alicia Miller has experienced it all on a mission to find seven of the best spas in China

CHINA SPA S 80

Amanfayun Hangzhou From the outside it might look like a historic Chinese village, but the ancients never had it this good. Like all Aman Resorts, this barefoot chic pad deliberately turns down flash modcons, instead letting traditional delights seep to the surface. Birds chirp from lush foliage overhanging sweeping curves of double-eaved-rooves; their songs reverberate against red lanterns swaying across wood-slatted windows. You’re just 20 minutes’ drive from bustling Hangzhou, perfect striking distance for the region’s famed temples and pagodas – but here, there’s nothing but solitude.

Ringed in spindly tan towers of bamboo, plump tea bushes and fragrant magnolia trees, the in-house spa is

this serenity’s epicentre. They call it ‘a spa’, but really it’s an epic five-building complex that somehow manages to be both understated and epic. Require a foot or hand rub-down? No problem, the masseurs in the dedicated Reflexology House are standing by. After a bit of ‘metime’ soaking in a giant barrel-like tub?

Sure thing – the bath house, complete with rain shower and steam rooms – is at the ready. Really just need to get away from it all? Escape to the meditation room in the fitness centre, next to a courtyard fringed by weeping willows.

You can spend a day just puttering around, but you’ll never get the full experience without booking a treatment.

It’s a succinct, rather than rambling,

list of offerings, but it still contains the option to be pummelled with heated bamboo (great for the muscles, apparently) or sample traditional cupping (so long as it’s not date night – it leaves temporary marks on your body). We say ‘spring’ for the seasonally inspired treatments – spring itself comes with an aromatic steam bath, ginger and kaffir lime-scented compress and massage, and winter features a warm oil head massage that will send you straight to heaven.

Anantara Sanya Just being in tropical Hainan, replete with long, palm-studded white sands and head-turning shades of turquoise, is therapy. But when you take into account Anantara’s location – tucked between verdant mountains, the sparkling South China Sea and nearby natural hot springs – and combine it with a world-class, in-house spa, then relaxing becomes a very serious business indeed.

Rich, dark woods and neutral-toned stones bedeck the belly of the sprawling spa, letting you immediately shrug off the tropical climes in favour of cool, calm environs. Flickers of candlelight illuminate treatment rooms, where therapists work their magic using

techniques with Thai and Indian flair.

But there’s a distinctly local flavour at work here too; star treatments use products as local as you can get, such as crushed seawater pearls from the South China Sea, harvested from Sanya’s coastline. Local women – and eventually, Imperial Palace royals – have used the luminescent, precious spheres for over 3,000 years to restore youthful glow.

Can several millennia of spa pioneers really be wrong?

Other treatments put the powerful healing properties of tea to work. In a nod to the natural soothing abilities of this omnipresent leaf, it features in a plethora of lotions and oils for lathering you up.

Can’t decide which treatment to go for? No problem. This is the sort of spa you can justify coming to more than once a day – after all, how else are you supposed to make the most of both the ‘yang’ (dawn renewal) treatment, and the specialised ‘yin’ (dusk relaxation) treatment? As for that time in between, that’s simple – if it’s not spent on the sands, warm surf splashing at your feet, then it should definitely be spent sipping fruity cocktails in Anantara’s slick swim-up pool bar.

Pullman Lijiang Coddled by serene wilderness, and ringed by silvery blue, snow-capped peaks, the Naxi-inspired Pullman feels a world away from popular Unescoprotected Lijiang – even though it’s a mere 10 minutes’ drive from the centre. The sumptuous Mandara Spa feels further away still; the rambling reception alone, flecked by trees and illuminated by oriental lamps and an imposing metal gong, conjures a slice of Shangri-La. Cosseted by a private courtyard, clad in sleets of soothing slate that echo the nearby mountains, feel the tingle of fresh air tickle your skin as therapists fuss over you. There are global-inspired treatments aplenty on offer – Thai,

Balinese and Swedish massage, to name but a few – but it’s the Chinese therapies that really shine. Get your qi (energy flow) in order via a vigorous massage, or expel the city grit from your precious pores with an antiageing Pu Er body scrub that makes skin glow. Should your whims dictate, you can even have your body schleffed with Yunnan lavender and mountain salt, or Yunnan coffee.

In fact, there’s really very little they haven’t thought of here, and that’s not even taking into account the signature baths. Seriously, is there anything more decadent that bathing in a stone-hewn pool of petals, soaking in antioxidantrich, stress-busting green tea like some

giant human sponge? You’d think not – but that’s until you retire to one of the hotel’s private garden villas, draped in creamy tones, natural stones and dark wood trim, for a good long soak in your outdoor heated tub.

Eager, dedicated staff are at your beck and call – to fix a cocktail, to whip up a gourmet meal of traditional Naxi delights – and if the spa has not yet eked every last bit of tension from you, that enduring mountain view certainly will.

Angsana Tengchong Resort Nestled alongside Yunnan’s epic ancient volcanoes, yawning wetlands, bubbling hot springs and misty Gaoligong Mountains, highland Tengchong has plenty going for it. Add to that list this top-notch spa resort, which makes the most of the surrounding wealth of natural beauty when easing its guests into relaxation mode.

The famed hot springs of the region wind their way straight into the resort, so you can lightly poach yourself in the mineral-rich waters via a smattering of 43 indoor and outdoor geothermal pools, without ever leaving the resort.

Just picture the scene – surrounded by bushy shrubs and graceful trees, you can slip into a sultry circular pool

built for only two. Shaded by a domelike wooden screen, you’re left alone to enjoy the warmth of late afternoon as it slips into twilight. The whole shebang is pretty fantastic – and that’s not even getting on to the spa treatments, which, as you might imagine, are thoroughly decadent too.

The ingredients used to replenish both mind and body are literally good enough to eat – lemon yoghurt or honey sesame body polish; soothing pumpkin and rice body conditioner; frangipani and jasmine body polish, just for starters. And as every therapy is executed by genuine experts, rather than inexperienced junior staffers – they’ve all had at least 350 hours of

rigorous training – you can trust them to really get to work on that tense shoulder, or sore leg.

They’ll make sure you’re fighting fit for exploring the fascinating local area – ambling through nearby Heshun Old Town, popping into the teahouses or watching egrets and wild ducks peck along the wetland pond. Or, observing the raging fury of Dadieshui Waterfall (the ‘Flying Dragon’), over which the Nanpan River furiously crashes to 90 metres below.

Puli Shanghai The frantic, full-on nature of glitzy Shanghai makes a spa visit in this city an essential, rather than a luxury.

So it’s a good thing the swish Puli is at hand, located smack in the centre of the park-flecked, business-heavy Jing’An District. No tucked-away drab basement treatments room here – it’s both a plush hotel and a spa in equal measure, making it just as good for day visitors as it is for resident hotel guests.

It’s got a full five treatment suites plus steam rooms, and is blissfully located on the third floor, so you actually get to see a bit of cheery sunlight. Though, it’s also open until 10pm, making it about as flexible a spa

as you can get, perfect for a quick fix before, after or during gaps in the busy sightseeing schedule.

Masculine browns and burnt reds frame the spa space, which is softly illuminated by slender modern light-fixtures. As for the nitty gritty of the treatments themselves: Thai and Indian techniques lead the way, while the majority of the others feature tea – green tea scrubs for detoxification, white tea body wraps for balancing or Chrysanthemum tea for health-boosting.

Still, the best way to beat the tension in China’s most modern city is to go old school with a traditional Chinese rub-down. The masseurs will treat you

like a giant ball of dough, using tui (pushing), na (pulling and dragging), an (rhythmic pressure), ca (rubbing), pai (tapping), zhen (vibrating) and more to turn you into chilled-out putty in their hands.

Fancy something less coma-inducing and more invigorating before you hit the town? Try the beautifying rose tea ‘journey’ – thanks to rose water’s circulation-enhancing, invigorating properties, you’ll leave the spa beaming like a newly opened flower.

Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain It’s not ready just yet – it’s scheduled to throw doors open in May this year – but if the other Six Sense resort spas are anything to go by, we’ve got reason to be pretty excited about this one. The first Six Senses property in China, tucked at the lush foot of the iconic Qing Cheng Mountains near Unesco World Heritage and Natural Cultural site Dujiangyan in Chengdu, this is about as top-tier luxury as it gets.

The swimming pools alone will be more therapeutic than most hotel spas – one of them, heated, is tucked indoors; the other, like a sheet of glass, glimmers in the centre of a perfectly manicured garden. The rooms, too, are

set to have a spa-like tranquillity about them: all soothing natural hues in naked woods and stones, with flashes of a leafy sage-lime green, plus some of the comfiest beds ever.

Of course, complete relaxation won’t set in until you pay a thorough visit to the in-house spa, which is set to be a corker. Six Senses Spa treatment lists read more like books than leaflets – you know that when a menu is so big it needs its own contents list that they take the art of unwinding very seriously.

There are enough treatments to keep even the most dedicated hedonist busy: even kiddies have a fistful of chill-out options. For us fully grown

spa-goers, there’s all the usual – but not-so-usual once you try ‘em – massages, facials, scrubs and plucking and pruning, plus we’re promised a clutch of special treatments with unique local twists.

Though, if you’re feeling truly indulgent – and you must certainly be, at these Six Senses prices – we’d suggest heading straight for the caviar and pearl face treatment.

The pinnacle of luxury, it basically magics wrinkles away.

Banyan Tree Hangzhou It’s not just the moody lighting or that soul-searching flute music that goes into making a spa relaxing – it’s the smells, too. At Banyan Tree Hangzhou, they have this nailed. Because the treatments feature aromatic Chinese ingredients – whether it’s lemongrass, lavender or rosebuds – you’ll never emerge from Banyan Tree Hangzhou’s spa smelling any less than zen-fresh.

And, feeling it, too.

As a resort that drips with traditional Jiangnan-style elegance – a smattering of dark tiled roofs, creamy white walls, surrounding a tranquil lake – it only makes sense that the spa features classical Chinese techniques. But they’ve put their own spin on things.

Opt for the ‘Royal Banyan’, and you’ll be gently flogged by dual herbal pouches, dripping with warm sesame oil – besides feeling utterly blissful, it’s supposed to improve your blood circulation and relieve tension in your muscles.

If your skin is lacking lustre, there’s an answer for that too – just sign up for the Oriental Bath Yin Experience, and you’ll be steamed, sauna-ed, and hot-and-colddipped (in tranquil pools) before being kneaded with Longjiang tea scrub and topped with ginger and safflower. As for the more ‘invigorating’ side of things, a yin or yang rain shower treatment, which combines the cool trickle of water with detoxifying scrubs and stress-busting massage, certainly does the trick.

Post-treatment, the spa effect needn’t stop; being in the Xixi Wetlands, this romantic hotel, a favourite with honeymooners and swish, well-heeled couples, offers more than enough places to crash and unwind. Whether it’s supping on a candlelit dinner under the stars in the garden, surrounded by flickering torches and fragrant blooms, or chilling in your own private spa villa with heated floor and jetpool, relaxing is, in fact, something you’ll be specialising in for your entire stay.

While whisky is on plenty of people’s lips, others have fallen for the sweet aroma of juniper. Coriander, cardamom and cubeb berries aren’t words most whisky lovers utter, but for Jason Williams, two-time Bartender of the Year and the group bars manager for the Keystone Group, gin is his game. The rooftop gin bar, The Rook, in the heart of Sydney, is one of Jason’s many homes – one where he lets his imagination fly with one of the city’s largest gin collections as his playground.

“Like whisky, gin is at its best when its flavours and process can stand on their own,” says Williams. “It might not have the same history as a whisky, but its diversity and depth allows us to find new ways to enhance and complement the natural flavours.” therook.com.au 在许多人都在品尝威士忌的同时，有些人却被杜松 甜甜的香气吸引。香菜、豆蔻和荜澄茄并不是喝威 士忌的人会挂在口边的字眼，可是对于两次荣获 年度调酒师以及Keystone集团的酒吧经理Jason Williams来说，杜松子酒就是他的强项。位于悉尼 心脏地带的屋顶酒吧The Rook，是Jason其中一 家酒吧，这是城内其中一家拥有杜松子酒酒款最多 最广的地方，让Jason能尽情发挥创意。Jason说 道， “杜松子酒或许没有如威士忌一样的历史背景， 可是其多样性和深度让我们能不断发现新的方法来 加强原来天然的味道以及使之更加完美。”

When it comes to whisky in Sydney, it’s hard to go past specialty whisky den the Baxter Inn. Here, talk of salt-rimmed glasses and seasonal fruits are replaced by single malts and distillery regions, and what people have swirling in their glasses is about tradition over innovation. Mood lighting adds to the ambience as you see and sample the hundreds of bottles of whisky spanning the globe and the decades. The spectacle of light and dark browns gleaming inside their glass bottles is just as important as the collection itself, exciting the senses and establishing trust that these guys know a thing or two about their liquor.

If there’s one man in Sydney to chat to about anything and everything whisky, it’s Barry Chalmers, whisky trainer and buyer at the Baxter. Slumped over the weathered hardwood bar, Chalmers is rarely seen without a glass of something golden brown in his hand – like Don Draper, but without the suit. Nearly every bottle has been hand-picked and curated for the bar – if there’s something new or something old, Chalmers knows about it. “We’ve built a community around whisky here in Sydney,” explains Chalmers. “We have regulars who know their stuff and know exactly which year and distillery they want, then we have others who just want to try something new for the first time. People want to learn, and by sticking to the basics and not confusing the flavours you get to know the drink like an old friend; you understand its past, which helps you understand its character.”

Along the back wall of The Baxter Inn, behind the rickety stools and flickering candles, lies a bank safe door straight out of Batman cartoons. “We think this bar was an old bank, but no one is actually sure,” says Chalmers. With a little elbow grease and some strained biceps the door swings open to reveal a small nook. Barely taller than a man and lined with shelves of what Chalmers refers to as ‘the good stuff’, this is the tasting room.

“This is where the real stories are told,” says Chalmers. “These are the drinks people want to sample to experience the history of whisky.”

While locals flock through the unmarked, hidden entrance of the Baxter Inn, a number of other whisky joints are becoming home to vibrant and enthusiastic communities looking for a taste of something different. The Wild Rover, on the edge of the CBD in Surry Hills, may not have the same variety of top shelf liquors as Baxter, but it has been focused on growing its community since opening its doors barely two years ago.

With two floors of Irish-inspired whisky-den vibes, you can choose from the full piquant, low-light experience downstairs or head to the second floor where open windows, fresh air and live music are a welcome diversion. “We wanted to start a whisky bar simply because we love whisky,” says general manager Kim McDiarmid. “We wanted to share our love and knowledge of it with people, which is why we hold tasting nights where people can get together to chat about what we love. Ninety per cent of those who come in here won’t know a lot about whisky, but they want to learn to love it, and we are here to teach them.”

Although there are a number of whisky bars popping up alongside each other, the city hasn’t been flooded with them – unlike whisky’s more rambunctious younger sibling, the cocktail bar. They have found a way to coexist and offer interested drinkers a haven in which to learn. “We all drink at each other’s bars,” says McDiarmid. “If someone in Sydney has something worth trying, we’ll be there. There’s no competition and no one tries to outdo the other – it’s all about the love of the drink.”

While cocktails and food aren’t the focus at the Wild Rover, there are a few staples that are as popular as ever, such as the Whisky Sour and the Old Fashioned, which never go out of style. Try washing these down with a few freshly shucked oysters from southern NSW to really round out the night.

Meanwhile, at Riley Street Garage in Woolloomooloo, a whisky and gin collection at which no whisky geek could scoff sits alongside a full, American-inspired menu.

Originally home to a garage and machine shop, the open plan bar and restaurant has kept the atmosphere of a 1930s garage.

Exposed brick and textured cement lend an authentic American workshop impression, while the tall ceilings and ornate steel awnings open up the space – quite the opposite to the usual ‘underground’ whisky bar vibe. Here there is less focus on how much you know about your liquid gold and more about pairing your drinks of choice with your crate of smoky soy truffle oysters or white soy kingfish sashimi. It’s a place where good food and even better liquors accompany each other without the need to be an expert on either.

Drinking doesn’t need to be too complicated.

Some Sydney bars might have the allure of the Sydney skyline, the classic modern setting of a hotel bar or the traditional comfort of an intimate whisky den, but when it all comes down to it, it’s about losing yourself in the whisky – no matter where you’re drinking. ◆

s this the bus for Joe … Joe –? Oh no…” The New Yorker turns to her husband. “Honey, what’s his name again?” “It’s no ‘Joe Schmoe’, it’s a place!

Zhouzhuang,” he responds, with admirable calm.

“Oh! You got it,” chuckles the woman. “Is this the bus for Joe Chang?”

The bus driver nods enthusiastically and the couple take their seats on a back-to-the-future ride: the ride from Shanghai – the 21st-century city “on the sea” – to a 1,200-year-old water town.

Ever since Tom Cruise raced along canalside walkways and over rickety tiled roofs at the climax of 2006’s Mission: Impossible III, there has been rippling international interest in the historic towns located in between Shanghai and Suzhou in Jiangnan, the southern fringes of Jiangsu Province.

These are destinations that have been on the itineraries of domestic day trippers for only a little longer, since 1985 when the national press carried photos of US tycoon Armand Hammer giving then leader Deng Xiaoping a painting. It was artist Chen Yifei’s work entitled “Memories of Homeland – Twin Bridge,” and it was of the quaint (but at that point widely unknown) backwater called Zhouzhuang.

Deng was said to have admired the artwork – and the place caught the public imagination.

Getting there from Shanghai Tour buses for various water towns depart from Shanghai’s Tour Bus Center (2409 Zhongshan 2nd Rd; nearest subways Caoxi Road (line 3) and Shanghai Swimming Centre (line 11)). Each destination may have several departures during the day, the first at approximately 7am. Prices (which include entrance tickets) start at about 120 RMB. For more info visit chinastbc.com (Chinese only).

Public buses also reach many of the water towns. They generally depart from Shanghai South Long-Distance Bus Station (adjacent to Shanghai South Railway Station). Prices start from about 30 RMB. For more info visit ctnz.net.

Take to the water Boat trips cost on average 100 RMB per boat (for 6–8 people) for a 20-minute tour. Wuzhen’s trips Individuals may join some sailings, prices start from 20 RMB depending on location and time of day.

IF YOU CAN MAKE IT IN THE OFF-SEASON”

A TANGLE OF CANALS The Hollywood movie did the same thing, in its own way, two decades later. And while its finale was filmed at Xitang, some 25km south, looky-likey Zhouzhuang is the most convenient (and established) port of call for many visitors – so convenient that on high days and holidays it can be swamped with sightseers.

Nonetheless, visitors find what they come for: huddled shophouses lining a tangle of canals where alleys and quays are linked by humpback bridges and towpaths.

Cafes and gift shops squeeze into haphazard rooms, broadrim hatted gondoliers steer craft under willow trees, and snatched glances through open windows reveal real homes lived in by real people. It’s all utterly beguiling, especially if you can make it on a quiet day in the off-season.

Aside from Zhouzhuang, other popular water towns include Tongli and Wuzhen, but lesser known communities are starting to draw the crowds too. Qiandeng, Nanxun and Luzhi are connected to the same vast and complicated water system, and can themselves become clogged with all-comers, in Golden Week especially.

They all started out as settlements on waterways that fed into the Grand Canal, the 1,700km-long superhighway that enabled the supply of grain and other goods south to Hangzhou and up to Suzhou, Wuxi and further afield – all the way to Beijing. Look at the map and you’ll see that this little corner of China’s eastern seaboard is puddled with reservoirs and watercourses – so much so that it’s hard to decide if land or liquid has the upper hand.

One thing is for sure: the people of this waterworld have made it their home for two millennia and are as at ease in a neither-here-nor-there world as Venetians or Halong Bay villagers are in theirs.

A STRANGE WORLD These days, though the northern reaches of the 1,500-yearold Grand Canal are mostly unnavigable, the remaining sections (from Jining south to Hangzhou) are still a major haulage route and those folks that live and work on the canal, known as chuanmin or ‘boat people’, sometimes find themselves like the tourists passing through the strange world of the water towns.

Strange because most of their Grand Canal is heavy-duty and unromanticised. The water towns are as different to the chuanmin world – where big stretches of water heave with big barges – as they are for day trippers heading from skyscraping Shanghai.

It’s roughly a two-hour ride to Zhouzhuang and other water towns by tour bus; the majority arrive mid-morning and head back to Shanghai late afternoon. The trips are straightforward and well-organised, but the downside is that busloads of sightseers hit the towns wholesale.

With this in mind, some folk head there by public bus from Suzhou (in about 60 minutes) – it gives them the opportunity to spend a day exploring its gardens before heading to Tongli or Luzhi, say, when it’s not rush hour.

Those that are really clued up stay overnight in a local inn, or kezhan. This offers the time and space to roam the lanes at either end of the day. And also, with a little planning, means that they can hop to other water towns using the local bus network – some journeys may be a little complicated, but others, such as route 263 that links Tongli and Zhouzhuang, are straightforward.

Even more direct (and fitting) is a boat ride between these two must-see towns. It crosses Tongli Lake, cuts along a 2km channel passing villages that go by names such as Thanks Alley and East Meadow Creek before heading through Baixian Lake to Zhouzhuang. The trip costs about 150 RMB.

Getting in

W AT E R TO W N S

The water towns are generally open 8am–5pm, some are open longer (such as Zhouzhuang, till 8pm in summer) and some also open in the evenings (Wuzhen, for example, from 5–10pm). Tour bus visitors’ tickets are generally included in the price; otherwise entrance tickets cost 50–120 RMB. Where applicable, evening tickets cost 50–80 RMB. Wuzhen offers a joint ticket for its two halves at 150 RMB. Tongli’s ticket is valid for two days, but must be stamped on the first day after 3pm for it to be accepted.

“ITS CHINESE NAME IS MUCH MORE DESCRIPTIVE: COW-TONGUE CAKE”

PORTS OF CALL Tongli has a different air to its counterpart. It’s famed for the Sex Culture Museum (that alas, has currently drawn the curtains and locked the door because it’s being done up) but the UNESCO World Heritage Tuisi Yuan – a delightful stroll garden built in the 1880s – is an equally appealing drawcard. Wuzhen (a little further south across the border in Zhejiang province) is famous for its indigo-dyed fabrics, and presents a particularly charming picture of bygone performance arts with its shadow puppet theatre, Flower Drum traditional opera and old black-and-white movies that are projected onto a wall near Pingshu Hall on summer evenings.

It’s about 60km from Wuzhen to Zhouzhuang, with Xitang somewhere in between. Near here there are water towns that have so far shrugged off the tourist dollar – Luxu, for example – but it’s only a matter of time before they’re discovered. And further north, Luzhi is famed for its ancient ginkgo or maidenhair trees that turn golden in the autumn, and nearby Song-era Qiandeng is home to Yu’s, claimed to be the oldest pawnshop in China.

At the end of the day in Zhouzhuang I jump on my Shanghai-bound bus and greet my new American friends.

They’re munching happily on a popular local snack that they bought along the street. Uninspiringly, it’s sometimes translated as ‘oval-shaped flat-bread’. But its Chinese name is much more descriptive: cow-tongue cake.

It’s a sesame seed-sprinkled biscuit – resembling the bovine licking equipment, hence the name – that has a moreish salty-sweet crunch.

“They call them ‘New Shopping’ and they’re delicious,” the lady explains (you cannot fault her enthusiasm for trying a new language as well as new foods.)

“Oh sweetie!” Pipes up her ever-patient husband, who then, with impressive accuracy, explains her error. “It’s nuttin’ to do with ‘New Shopping’ – it’s niu she bing!” ◆

Their new multi-million dollar site, Factory Espresso, is the setting for cupping classes and taste appreciation sessions, with the roaster on site. Here there’s always a new blend of beans in the self service chutes, with locals encouraged to buy beans to take home and grind themselves. There are house-made ice lattes, cold-drip coffee, pour overs, even pork and apple sausage rolls – all the fodder you’ll find in a Sydney café. They’ve certainly got their fingers on the pulse, with requests for bespoke coffee blends coming from the likes of new inner city Sydney café Dr. Faustus.

Bills Beans isn’t just about the beans.

The pared back, industrial Factory Espresso transforms into a cocktail bar on Friday nights and the range of freshly baked cakes come from none other than local celebrity and MasterChef winner Kate Bracks. Her lemon meringue pies are glazed with perfectly browned meringue peaks and sell out by the slice.

Meanwhile, at the Byng St Local Store, the deer head hanging on the wall has become a bit of a local icon. This is no hunting cabin, though. It’s a corner store/café with a modern

THE FINER THINGS When it comes to fine dining, Orange is a country town with a few gems in its crown.

Lolli Redine and Racine Restaurant are two local institutions frequently winning spots in best restaurants lists for Australia.

Lolli Redini’s pedigree dates back more than a decade, with the kitchen opening in 2001. Chef and owner Simonn Hawke has brought Italian and French fine dining to the countryside and made it accessible through a commitment to showcasing local produce.

Her commitment to farmers and growers leads to an ever-changing seasonal menu – twice baked Heidi gruyere cheese soufflé, pan fried quail saltimbocca and pressed duck terrine are a few autumnal highlights.

On the edge of town, Racine Restaurant is the work of Chef Shaun Arantz and his wife Willa. The farmstead building’s dining room is relaxed yet polished, with glass doors opening up onto manicured lawns and bird song.

The menu showcases the best of local produce – the Mandagery Creek Venison has a reputation of its own. Dishes change with the season so expect plenty of truffles in winter.

If you have a sweet tooth, save room for a trip back into town to Racine Bakery, the couple’s artisan baked goods store. Preservative and additive free, the handmade baguettes, sour dough, croissants and cakes usually sell out before the day is over.

The cool climate and reliable rainfall in the region is responsible for thriving paddocks and bountiful fruit harvests but is also the driving force behind a flourishing wine region. The continental weather conditions are aided by elevation; the highest grapes in Australia are grown here at an elevation of 1,120 metres. Mount Canobolas is the region’s tallest peak, but it doesn’t overshadow, its height instead adding to the rolling hills surrounding the country town and its basalt soil bringing life to those hills.

Sauvignon Blanc is the region’s flagship wine, with wineries producing traditionally floral, ripe vintages. Chardonnay and red varieties including pinot noir, merlot, shiraz and chardonnay also benefit from the terroir.

There are more than 30 cellar doors in and around Orange – the scenic wine trail fans out in a circle around the town. You’ll quickly be driving past the quiet suburban streets to

cellar doors that are part of the family home.

Many of the region’s big names in the wine industry are still family run. Philip Shaw’s award winning wines are made from grapes sourced entirely from the family’s 47 hectare Koomooloo Vineyard. The cellar door on-site adjoins the family home and is busy seven days a week with locals and tourists. The winemaker certainly knows what he’s doing, cutting his teeth as winemaker for Rosemount Estate and Southcorp.

Ross Hill is another cellar door not to miss.

Winemaker Phil Kearney is a big advocate for local wine production, bringing the process back in house to the region instead of shipping grapes offsite. The vineyard co-exists with the old apple orchard, which still bears 10,000 cases of fruit each year.

The Pinnacle Chardonnay is the showstopper here, taking spots on Huon Hooke and James Halliday top wine lists, and praised for its balanced fruit definition.

Wine isn’t the only drop you’ll sample in Orange. James and Gail Kendell’s Small Acres Cyder cellar door has gained popularity in the past few years with the rise in demand for traditional cider. Small Acres Cyder specialises

There are plenty of options in town for tasting sessions too – the Union Bank Wine Bar and Wine Store in a heritage-listed former bank is popular with the locals for its extensive local wine list, live music and casual courtyard dining. The historic Hotel Canobolas Hotel dates back to 1939 but is fresh from an extensive renovation – the brand new, top floor Chesterfields Whiskey and Wine Bar stocks local wines along with 60 different types of Whiskey.

Like the restaurants, wine bars and pubs, the accommodation options in Orange are tucked into cosy cottages and heritage buildings. The de Russie Suites have made a study of understated style – exposed brick, minimalist design pieces, muted lighting – with studio, suite and apartment options. The two- and three-bedroom family suites are highly practical, but the presidential-style Blue Room is just beautiful.

China rising BEIJING’S SUNRISE KEMPINSKI IS A FINE EX AMPLE OF THE INNOVATIVE ARCHITECTURE TO BE FOUND IN CHINESE HOTELS

Luxury comes in many forms in China, but nowhere is such opulence more evident than in these offerings from world-renowned hotel groups, reveals Alicia Miller

NE W HOTEL S

T

he Shangri-La, the Peninsula, the Mandarin Oriental. These Chinese-based hotel groups are all synonymous with luxury, grand style and exclusivity. But, when it comes to posh Chinese pads, these home-grown ventures are only the beginning. The real luxury hotel game in China is just getting started: the world’s most coveted hotel outfits – from sky-scraping, modish W Hotels to barefoot-chic Anantaras and grown-up, sophisticated Rosewoods – have started to move in. And alongside the aforementioned Chinese classics, they’re opening hotels unlike any in the world.

In the last few years the explosion has been hard to keep up with. There have been Sofitels and Andazes in Shanghai, and Amans and Graces in Beijing, to name just a few. And the openings won’t be stopping anytime soon. It’s no secret China’s luxury market is flourishing; newly moneyed, discerning customers have both the cash – and the inclination – to splurge not just on ‘stuff’, but also on experience. Staying at a bling hotel is just that; you’re buying a moment in time, a feeling, a memory. And for the very best of these moments, some are really prepared to pay. How many places in the world can sustain a presidential suite clocking in at over US$26,000 per night? The Mandarin Oriental in Shanghai’s Pudong can.

It’s not just cities going luxe on the hotel front. Postcardparadisiacal destinations such as Hainan – China’s answer to Hawaii – have exploded with high-brow international openings. It’s about time; with such pristine blue waters and virgin beaches at home, why bother going abroad?

Meanwhile, in strikingly different, misty and mountainous Yunnan – best known for its UNESCO-protected Old Town of Lijian – luxury spa hotel group Banyan Tree has opened not one, but two remote retreats. Anantara has also joined the party – in Hainan, Yunnan, and at the foot of Emei Mountain.

You might work up a sweat scaling up this sacred Buddhist Mountain to visit the 76 monasteries, but there’ll be no lack of creature comforts once you’ve made your way back down.

Magnificent these hotels may be, but as mentioned, the boom has only just begun. Within the next two years, expect openings from Bulgari Hotel and W in Shanghai, Sofitel in Hainan and Anantara in Guiyang. Not to mention the Intercontinental Shimao Wonderland, the world’s first ‘landscaper’ – dug 19-storeys underwater and constructed into an existing cave in Tianmenshan Mountain – proving no project is too big or daring, for China. But, you can’t stay in those places just yet. In the meantime, we give you the hottest new luxury Chinese hotels, ripe for visiting in 2015…

SUNRISE KEMPINSKI, BEIJING A giant, glittering disco ball – burnished with 10,000 glass panels reflecting the shifting skies above – the Sunrise Kempinski, an hour from Beijing’s bursting centre, is impossible to miss. Perched on the banks of tranquil, 66-hectare Lake Yanqui, a willow and poplardotted nature retreat and bird haven a dumpling’s throw from the Yanshan Mountains, the whole look is a bit ‘spaceship’. In fact, the hotel was designed to look like a scallop from the side – representing good fortune – and the rising sun from the front (symbolising harmony, unity and just good things all around). Once you’ve finished gawping at the outside (just wait until you see it at night – there are LED lights everywhere), every bit of cool Kempinski plush is to be found inside.

Bedrooms are European-slick with a Chinese flair; expect lots of geometric shapes, dark and golden brown tones, and muted metal accents.

Make for the hotel-top View’s Bar, which overlooks the island-dotted lake, where you can sink baiju cocktails to a DJ’s thumping beat.

Or, retreat to the spa – it’s the very opposite of Beijing-frantic, with local plants, flowers and herbs featuring in soothing treatments.

ROSEWOOD HOTEL, BEIJING Rosewood just has a way about it – everything is so darn classy. Dark, moody woods; heavy, expensive-threadcount fabrics; and a very subtle, well-measured flirtation with colour, only when it’s suitable: just entering the place makes you feel fabulous. Beijing’s, and the country’s, first outpost, which opened last autumn, has a subtle, very-Rosewoody look – but with added, very careful, touches of Chinese flair. Bronze Jiao Tu (Sons of Dragon) statues guard the entryway, cloisonné paintings hang here and there, there’s an occasional flash of Chinese print.

Meanwhile, the location, right across from the iconic CCTV tower in burgeoning Choyang, the shopper’s paradise and city’s after-dark city funspot, is prime for those keen to experience the ‘new’ Beijing. Although, you might not actually be bothered leaving Rosewood, what with six restaurants and lounges to keep you busy. Plus the spa, which opens in April: the cherry on the cake, it’s set over a frankly excessive 3,000 square metres, and you can actually kip overnight inside specially designed suites, while all the goodness of the locally inspired treatments soaks in.

You’re never far from excitement in Shanghai, but at the Mandarin Oriental Pudong, you’re really in the thick of it.

Right on the banks of the Huangpu River, in the heart of the ever-glittering financial district, you’re just moments from the Bund, encased by the high-rises and skyscrapers of Lujiazui. Being the Mandarin Oriental, the look is altogether swish – contemporary but comfy surroundings; creamy couches, marble baths, art deco-esque mood lighting.

And they take their food very seriously.

Work your way through the menu at the modern French-tinged Fifty 8˚grill from Michelin-starred chef Richard Ekkebus.

The look is ever-so-slightly New York brasserie, but the food sings with very Gallic flavours including house-cured charcuterie and terrines, veal blanquette, coq au vin – plus the more global appeal of wood-firedgrill wagyu steaks. Then, there’s the Jiang Nan (Shanghai-region cuisine) at Yong Yi Ting. Besides cracking dim sum, expect firm favourites such as Wu Xi style braised pork ribs and beggar’s chicken. Never fear though: there are ample opportunities to work off those extra bits of indulgence – strolling through the frescoed lobby, towards the front entrance – after all, all of Shanghai is at your feet.

W’S BRILLIANT EXTERIOR IS MATCHED BY A CHIC INTERIOR

W, BEIJING Did you just see Kate Moss? Maybe. Because for the fashion-conscious jetsetter, there’s nowhere quite like the W. And now that it has debuted in Beijing, there’s no excuse for not staying up late with the well-heeled crowd in this ancient city’s new fun pad.

Think high gloss, high funk, and plenty of theatricality – a red, black and gold Chinese-inspired lobby, culminating in an LED catwalk, and plenty of neon disco lighting (including on your bedroom’s headboard) to offset otherwise neutral wood floors, walls and fabrics. Paddle around the indoor pool or putter around the lobby, where good-looking people are almost always to be found. While the Chang’an embassy district is snooze-ville (by some standards) when it comes to bars and restaurants, you are reasonably close to some of the main sights such as the Imperial Palace. But besides, the only place you really need to head to rub shoulders with the chichi crowd is the W’s very own X25 bar, where you’ll overlook city walls, soaking up Beijing’s skyline like osmosis as you sink drinks. The party doesn’t end there, though – Shanghai’s new Pudong branch is set to follow in early 2016.

And while the epic castle-on-a-hill might seem more Disney than burgeoning Dalian, know that it’s also a relic from days gone by – built a whole decade ago and partly used as the local shell museum (how quaint) before being snapped up by Starwood. The hotel group has, admittedly, gone full-scale-European-turn-of-the-centuryglamour on the place, and the feat is nothing short of impressive. Subtle, however, it is not.

Overlooking Xinghai Bay and the Yellow Sea from Lianhua Mountain, it drips indulgence, from the turrets down to the wrought-ironlined marble staircase, gold statues wielding candelabras, and enormous sparkling chandeliers. There’s a green lawn yawning out to sea, punctuated with perfect manicured hedges, and possibly more eating options than you could hope to visit – including an onsite brewery, high-tea cafe, and a restaurant specialising in Dalian seafood. The 2,000 square metre Kaiser Spa is a spend-all-day kind of affair; it even features a Mahjong room for post-treatment chilling, in case the hydrotherapy pool, massages or sauna were too strenuous. Crown your stay off like any true Prince or Princess would do – with an evening in the Aristocrat bar, relishing rare cognacs, whiskeys and cigars.

It’s too often called the Chinese answer to Hawaii, but in truth Hainan is pretty spectacular. Magnificent tropical blues, white sand beaches, and now a raft of super-luxury resorts; it begs the question, why bother even trekking to the island which gave it its nickname? On the southernmost tip of the island, Sanya Bay is where most of the luxe buildings are going up – the spectacular aquamarine tones of the water have something to do with it; the alabaster stretch of secluded sand, too. The idea behind the Park Hyatt is that it isn’t a hotel – oh, no – but a ‘private mansion by the sea’. One with 207 rooms, it so happens, and views of the South China Sea, five swimming pools and umpteen (OK, six) restaurants and bars. Mind you, the Park Hyatt does also have space – 750,000 square feet of it – so even with a full house, you’ll never feel stifled. And as for those views out to that tropical paradise that brought you here – well, you’ll never have to leave them for long.

Even the bathrooms, garnished with large rainfall-shower and buffed marble, have panoramic windows that can be opened for viewing while you soak in the oversized tub.

THE TEMPLE HOUSE, CHENGDU Okay, so this one’s a bit of a cheat – it’s not yet open, and isn’t due to be until June 2015.

However, if its sister hotels are anything to go by – uber-stylish The Opposite House in Beijing, and cool The Upper House in Hong Kong – this is a luxe hotel you’ll be wanting to get on board with seriously early. Based in Chengdu’s heart in a new shopping and business complex near the thousand-year-old Daci Temple, the 100-room hotel blends modern design with traditional local architectural styles – timber, brick, step stones and bamboo will feature, as will a restored hundred-yearold Qing Dynasty courtyard. The vibe here, as with the sister ‘houses’, is luxury understated, with a real emphasis on service – every detail is tailored down to the individual guest, whether you’re staying for a night or a month (they’ll have apartments, too). You’re just moments from Chengdu’s historic district, including historic Jinli street, famous for its teahouses and Sichuan specialties including buckwheat noodles and ox-tripe hotpot. Which is why, perhaps, that the hotel plans to go distinctly exotic with its culinary offering – Tivano, the in-house restaurant, is going to be an Italian eatery, a definite go-to for stone-fired pizzas.

John Skilbeck takes a close look at the growth of Chinese snooker and the superstar who has been leading the way since he was a teenager: Ding Junhui

有赢过任何一项世界赛， 我会感到非常惊讶。因为 他真的是很厉害。” 丁 出 生 在 江 苏 宜 兴，现居英国的雪菲 尔（Sheffield），这里从 1977年起便举行世界斯诺 克台球锦标赛，而且汇聚 了很多年轻的华人球手。 丁是他们当中的“一哥”， 拥有头衔、粉丝团以及财 富。可是纵然台球的未来 已握在他的手中，他还是 个十分谦卑的人。 或许丁也没有意识到 自己已经为他所爱的运动 注入了新的活力，改变了 世界台球球坛的格局。 2009年年末，台球 这个项目日渐式微，台球 产业陷入萎靡泥潭。一直 到6次世锦赛的冠军得主 Steve Davis的经理Barry

recision. Without precision, a snooker player stands no chance. Never mind the strength in the cueing arm, never mind the swagger. Settle for the slightest deviation in exactitude and settle for failure. Kiss goodbye that daydream of holding aloft the World Championship trophy, the fame, the fortune and the adulation. If you can’t be precise, try this advice: watch a master at work.

Ding Junhui, China’s phenomenon in the art of cueing, cast a furtive glance at struggling snooker players as a boy and wondered what their fussing was about. From nine years old, Ding exhibited such instinctive dexterity there was little doubt his trajectory would lead to the very top. “If you look at Ding Junhui, I’d be flabbergasted if he never wins a world title,” says John Higgins, the four-time champion, “Because he’s that good.”

KING DING Ding grew up in Yixing, in Jiangsu province, and today lives in Sheffield, England, host city to snooker’s World Championship since 1977, and home to a community of young Chinese players. Ding is their kingpin, the man with the titles, the fan club, the fortune.

He is the humble man holding snooker’s future in his hands.

And perhaps without realising it, Ding has already given his beloved sport the kiss of life. In late 2009, professional snooker stood downtrodden and at a crossroads, its tour decimated by inertia. It was drifting towards obscurity – until brassy impresario Barry Hearn, the long-time manager of six-time world champion Steve Davis, stepped in with a vision.

Soon snooker was looking far beyond the crumbling town halls and sterile leisure centres of England. Ding held superstar status in China, where snooker clubs were opening like lemonade stands in a heat wave, and the

Fame and fortune DING MAY HAVE THE TROPHY’S, FANS AND FAME BUT HE REMAINS A HUMBLE MAN

businessman in Hearn caught the whiff of opportunity. Ever since, China has played a monumental role in the regeneration of the sport.

Jason Ferguson is chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association. For Ferguson, China has become a second home. “Ding Junhui is enormous in China,” Ferguson says. “He is a national hero, and as a result it has helped us lift the sport to another level out there.”

Seven tournaments have been contested in China in the 2014/15 season, with the promise of more to come. Additionally, China crafts the world’s most exquisite snooker tables and ships great crates of them overseas, while its best young players have largely flocked to England. What does it receive in return? Some feel not enough.

Will China stage a World Championship before it has a world champion? The question has been often asked. The tournament is theoretically up for grabs from 2018.

Ferguson and Hearn are witnessing increasingly determined and persuasive efforts to hook their big fish. “Our partners in China asked me, ‘When can we have the World Championship?’” Ferguson says. “I had to tell them, ‘It’s staying at the Crucible.’”

The intimacy of the Crucible theatre, where those in the front rows feel palpably involved, guarantees tension that stalwarts contend could not be recreated elsewhere.

Ferguson laughs, and says: “I went back to China a couple of years later and they said, ‘Oh, by the way, you know how you said the Worlds is staying at the Crucible?

Well… we’ve built the Crucible. Now can we have the World Championship?’”

It was not a joke but a stunning statement of intent. A replica and full-size Crucible had indeed been constructed in Beijing.

CHINA IS READY For now though, China is tactfully waiting, perhaps for when stewardship of the sport passes out of Hearn’s all-powerful hands.

Hearn says Chinese promoters would pay “a king’s ransom” for the World Championship.

Just now, he isn’t selling.

The 2014 tournament had an aggregate television audience of 426 million in China – astounding given the action is played out while most are asleep. Let’s call it an overnight success. “Snooker has the best of everything: it has the aspect of the mental strength that’s required to win in what I would consider to be a solitary sport, a one-to-one

sport. It’s very gladiatorial,” Ferguson says.

“It’s that side of it that seems to be loved by the Chinese people.

“It’s not a physical sport where you can shout, scream and growl at everything.

You’ve got to contain that mental power and be technically perfect on every shot.”

Ding captured a record-equalling five major ranking titles in the 2013/14 season.

In December 2014 he rose to number one in the world for the first time.

Yet by March 2015 he remained China’s only trophy winner, with compatriots Liang Wenbo and Xiao Guodong the closest to joining him. Ding deprived Xiao of a breakthrough triumph when dominating their tussle for the 2013 Shanghai Masters title. Beyond that established trio, a pair of 17-year-olds, Lyu Haotian from Beijing and Chengdu’s Zhou Yuelong, are earmarked for prosperous futures.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of game enthusiasts pick up a cue each week, out of love. Beijing has an astonishing 1,500 snooker clubs, Shanghai a further 1,200.

The cream of the talent is being nurtured at an academy in the capital, which has already produced 14-year-old Yan Bingtao, the youngest ever world amateur champion. “It’s essential to us that new Chinese talent gets the chance to come through,” Ferguson says.

“ Y O U ’ V E G O T T O C O N TA I N T H AT M E N TA L P O W E R A N D B E T E C H N I C A L LY P E R F E C T ON EVERY SHOT”

High hopes THE LAST ACCOLADE DING WANTS TO TICK OFF HIS LIST IS THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

“台球需要十足的精神力量， 而且每一球在技术上 都要求完美”

STILL THE ONE Ding remains the man of the moment.

Ferguson calls him “one of the great sportsmen in the world”. He is unmistakably a decent man, clean-living and polite – and a fiend of a potter. Bewildered opponent Mark King said after a World Championship masterclass that Ding “was on a different planet, and when he’s hitting the ball like that I don’t think anyone can get near him, even Ronnie.”

He has a dry sense of humour and his vice is video gaming. Nothing for the authorities to worry about there.

The accolades continue to stack up, yet it would be remiss to tip-toe around one curious absence from Ding’s list of achievements. As he headed to the 2015 World Championship, Ding had still yet to reach a Crucible final.

He has always had something of a prickly relationship with the tournament, and blamed the crowd after one painful early defeat, smarting: “I was concentrating on the game and they kept shouting out. How can they do that?”

But he recognises that snooker’s ultimate test has a exposed his few faults. For one thing, sleep-loving Ding detests morning sessions, and they are simply unavoidable at the World Championship. “At every round you need to be at your best, and only then you can win the tournament,” Ding says. “If not, you have no chance.”

He is determined to crack the Crucible code, however, and knows the wrong turns so well that he must soon locate the corridor that leads to glory. China, one suspects, is also playing a skilful long game that will bring rich reward.

Ultimately, the difference between snooker success and failure again comes down to precision. Not the laser precision of Ding planting a red in a pocket, plotting the cue ball’s route to the colour and repeating the process, but the vital precision of approach and the imperturbable temperament required to cope with relentless drama; fundamentally the readiness to scale the mountain and reach out for destiny at the summit. ◆

Iwan Sunito CEO of Crown Group and frequent traveller Iwan Sunito shares how he likes to plan a trip and explore foreign cities.... 皇冠房地产集团的总裁Iwan Sunito经常出行， 他与我们分享计划旅行以及探索异国城市的心得……

Surviving long-haul travel...

I like to fly out in the morning and get a good night’s sleep in a hotel and wake up refreshed. Flying during the day also allows me to work while I’m on the plane.

出国时住在哪里

我喜欢搭乘上午的航班，然后晚上在酒店睡一觉，第二天醒来格外精神爽 利。白天的飞行还能让我在飞机上继续工作。

旅游时我喜欢住在最好的酒店，但不一定是名牌酒店。我发觉当地的品牌 为了争取客人下次再度光临，会比较照顾客人的需要并且提供额外的服务， 包括延迟退房，这对搭乘午夜航班的客人来说是非常重要的。

business so they go overboard in offering extra services such as late check out, which is so important for those who have to fly at midnight.

I don’t travel overseas without my wife Liana and, where possible, our children. Travelling alone is kind of boring for me, and besides, family is more important for me than business. I also think good luggage is worth the investment – and that includes carry-on!

旅行时不能缺少什么 出国旅游一定不能缺少我的太太Liana，如果 情况许可的话我还会带上儿女。我觉得自己 一个人旅游很沉闷，而且对我而言家庭比生 意更重要。另外，我觉得一件好的行李也是 值得投资的，包括随身携带的行李。

Where to stay overseas...

When I travel I like to stay in the best hotels, but it doesn’t have to be a branded hotel. I’ve found that local brands are keen to look after their clients to have repeat

I like to walk around the city and take public transport. I’ve found that ‘Slow is Fast’. By taking my time to explore a city on foot, I learn much more than if I would have gone by other transport.

探索异国城市 我喜欢徒步以及搭乘公共交通工具来探索新城市。我发现“慢即快”的道 理，比起使用其他交通工具，徒步探索能更快了解一个城市，并且收获更加 丰富。

Restaurants or street food?

I go for both. I like to go to the finest and most beautiful interior-designed restaurant to find some architectural inspiration and the best food, but I also like to go to local restaurants with local food.

选择餐厅还是街头小吃？ 我两样都会去。我喜欢到最高级以及拥有最美丽的室内设计的餐厅来寻找 建筑灵感和最佳的美食，我也喜欢到当地的餐厅品尝当地的特色美食。
