Shanghai’s Financial District, for example, has become a hub for modern architecture that has tourists exploring the Bund’s fast-paced east side (pages 60-68). And modern architecture isn’t limited to skyscrapers – or Shanghai, for that matter. Guangzhou is celebrating the fifth anniversary of its award-winning Opera House (pages 80-88). Even Beijing’s shopping centres have become mega lifestyle complexes that are home to high-end stores, restaurants, hotels and cinemas (pages 122-128). China’s natural wonders also have visitors in awe. On pages 110-120, discover the magical lakes of Jiuzhaigou National Park, climb through Zhangjiajie, or let the serenity of the Longji Terraced Fields transfix you. Whether it’s manmade or Mother Nature’s creation, China never disappoints.
hanghai really does have the best of both worlds. On the west side of the Bund, the former European concessions are filled with Art Deco buildings – more than any other city in the world. On the east side is the all-modern, gleamy area of Pudong, where the Shanghai World Financial Center and Shanghai Tower stand tall. It’s here, on pages 60-68, that we take a look at the ‘new’ Shanghai. Not to be left behind, Beijing is also becoming a city known for its buildings, in particular its shopping complexes (pages 122-128). The addition of Tommy Hilfiger – who recently celebrated his eponymous brand’s 30th anniversary with his largest store opening at In88 – further solidifies Beijing’s rise as one of the fashion capitals of the world. Enjoy!

Ming Palace
Some 35km of fortifications were ordered to be erected in the capital by Ming’s founder Zhu Yuanzhang between 1366 and 1393. Originally there were three walls in Nanjing history: one circling the city, one around the Imperial palace and one surrounding the Emperor’s hall.

Unlike the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Ming Palace, built in 1367, did not survive. Some remnants are now open to the public in the Ming Palace Ruins and Wuchaomen Park, which stand opposite each other on East Zhongshan Dong Road. The nearby Xiaoling Tomb of Ming Dynasty – the mausoleum of Yuanzhang and his wife Ma – is one of the largest imperial tomb complexes in China.
Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge This 44-year-old structure was the first of its kind to be designed and built by the People’s Republic, and took eight years, 100,000 tons of steel, one million tons of cement and 280 million RMB to complete.

Going back to the 14th century, this historic landmark is a symbol of Nanjing’s time as the capital of the Ming Dynasty between 1368 and 1421.
More than 3,000 animals call this tree-blanketed hill home, including rare native species like cuddly giant pandas and ginger-furred snub-nosed monkeys.

Brisbane Australia’s sunny riverside city is going through a rebirth and there’s plenty to keep you busy over the span of a weekend, writes Trent van der Jagt
THE ORIGINAL CAMPOS COFFEE CAN BE FOUND IN BRISBANE
澳大利亚阳光明媚、靠近河岸的一个城市正在经历着重 生，在这里有许多精彩的活动会让您在这里度过一个多 姿多彩的周末，Trent van der Jagt写道 DAY ONE 第一天 8am If you don’t start your day with coffee and brekky at the local cafe then it’s not a proper Aussie morning. Energise at the much-loved Campos Coffee Cafe, tucked behind the original roasting factory in Fortitude Valley. As Campos spreads its beans across the country, it’s definitely worth enjoying a sip from the birthplace of a great roaster. You can also get stuck into plenty of great experimental meals, like pancakes with basil, macerated strawberry, citrus crumble and gelato.
早上8时 如果您早上没有到当地的咖啡馆喝杯咖啡、

Brisbane is home to a beautiful Botanic Garden with almost 50 acres of meticulously maintained native Australian flora. There’s no better place to walk off your big breakfast. The Garden is also bordered by the Brisbane Parliament House, a pristine sandstone structure built in 1865.
就如澳大利亚其他的城市一样，布里斯班也 拥有着美丽的植物园。面积约50英亩大的植 物园内绽放着各种澳大利亚本土品种的花卉。 吃过丰富的早餐后，漫步于植物园之中是个 不错的主意。沿着迂回的小径走到河岸，沿 途不仅有众多棕榈树，还有喷泉和池塘。毗 邻植物园的便是布里斯班议会大厦，一座建 于1865年的历史建筑。
48 HOURS STOKEHOUSE Q IS JUST ONE OF BRISBANE’S MANY GREAT FINE DINING VENUES
2pm Brisbane has taken a page out of Sydney and Melbourne’s book and is quickly becoming a haven for inventive small bars and restaurants. Alfred & Constance, for example, is a four-in-one restaurant and bar. Kick back with a cocktail in hand at their Tiki Bar decorated in all things beach culture or take it easy with slowroasted rosemary chicken in their jazz-themed restaurant. This is one of the best places to get a real taste of the laid-back Brisbane culture.
下午2时 悉尼和墨尔本的餐饮业日益兴旺，布里斯班 也随之参与在这场盛宴之中，逐渐成为汇聚 新颖小酒吧和餐厅的美食天堂。Alfred and Constance餐厅是一家四合一的餐厅酒吧，

7pm Graffiti-covered warehouse
area for all the hustle and bustle you’d expect from a city’s best shopping street. Branching off into a number of smaller side streets, Queen Street always has something different to discover. Small cafes such as Brew Cafe are dotted between high-end clothing brands and local handmade homewares, so anything you’re after is just a small detour away.
roller doors, dozens of mismatched couches and patio furniture: it may sound more like a council clean-up, but at Kerbside Bar they prefer to describe it as having the feel of an Aussie backyard barbecue – though with a bit more choice than your standard six-pack of VB. With over 250 craft beers and some extremely knowledgeable bartenders, Kerbside has become one of the city’s hottest spots and makes it obvious that, in Brisbane, often anything goes.

11am So the closest beach is 40 minutes away? No worries – Brisbane went ahead and built its very own right in the heart of the city, blending palm trees, real sand and cocktail bars with the modern city skyline. That’s right – along the riverside you’ll find a large man-made beach, and it has more bells and whistles than an actual beach. The
sparkling lagoon is surrounded by white sand, native plants and children’s play areas, and it’s patrolled by lifeguards year-round.
早上11时 最近的海滩要40分钟的路程？不要紧。在市 中心内有个人造海滩沿河而建，这里有青葱 的林荫草地、真海沙、鸡尾酒酒吧以及现代 城市的天际线。波光粼粼的湖畔被白色的海 沙环绕着，还有澳大利亚本土的植物和儿童 游乐区，一年四季都有救生员在这里看守着。 这是个没有海岸线却同样动人的城市海滩。
2pm Just a short walk along the riverside in South Bank you’ll stumble across the Queensland Art Gallery and Queensland Gallery of Modern Art. These spaces are Queensland’s premier visual arts
5pm Unwind with an early cocktail or two by the beach (just imagine it’s not artificial for now) at Cove Bar, a small, open bar that whips up creative and refreshing drinks, such as the espresso martini. With views of the city, the Story Bridge (Brisbane’s impressive heritage-listed bridge spanning the river) and the Parklands Beach, there are few better locations to relax and soak in the laid-back Australian vibes.

大利亚拥有一个占地仅7万 多平方公里，人口只有50多 万，却包容了一切美好事物 的岛屿，她那翠绿茂密的树 林，长年川流不息的河流，具有悠久历史的 古石屋，布满形态各异岩石的山脉，迷人的 大自然，能使你忘却世上的纷争和人间的烦 恼，仿佛置身于一处世外桃源，她就是度假 胜地——塔斯马尼亚州。 约10,000年以前，塔斯马尼亚并不是岛 屿，她与澳洲大陆相连。冰河时期后，溶雪 化成的水淹盖了交接之地，形成了巴斯海峡， 从此塔斯马尼亚就成了一个岛屿。 1642年12月1日，荷兰航海家塔斯曼首 次发现了该岛并以他的名字命名。130年后， 法国探险家弗莱斯勒船长也在该岛登陆，开 枪打死打伤数名无辜的原住民，这是西方人 对该岛居民的首次杀戮。塔斯马尼亚原住民
时，一个种族被残酷灭绝的忧伤历史就会浮 现在我们的眼前。 半个多世纪来的塔州一直被殖民者当成 流放重罪犯人的场所，亚瑟港监狱成为澳大 利亚最悲痛最令人缅怀的场所，小瀑布女子 监狱则是霍巴特最著名的女子监狱。在1828 年到1856年期间，有超过5000名女性以及 其子女被关押在这里。这些监狱记载了许多 难以忘怀的故事，值得后人去寻访。 塔斯马尼亚是探索澳洲历史最佳的地方， 她保留着众多的古迹和文物，其中包括大量 的十五世纪以来的建筑，如：石桥、教堂、 仓库、营房、监狱等等。在塔州甚至还保存 了被称为“锡龙的足迹”的华裔矿工遗址。 久远的历史，精巧的设计，多姿的建筑无不 令人叹为观止，仿佛走进了时光隧道，坠入 了300年前的历史长河。 优美迷人的自然景色是塔斯马尼亚最大 的物质财富，全州被群山环抱，众多的山 峦并非以高峭险峻著称，也不以气势磅礴 出名，而是形态奇特别具一格。不论是在 山丘还是峡谷，往往会看到突然隆起的一座 座高山，有像玉屏风，金字塔，还有像大水 牛，老人头等，形象逼真，巧妙无比，堪称 一绝。全州几乎没有平原，很多湖泊位于中 部高山之上，湖水从空中以雷霆万钧之势澎 湃而下，壮观万分。塔州四周是海，绵长的 海岸构画出动人心弦的美妙曲线令人陶醉， 海洋中丰富的渔业资源更是享誉世界，其中 的海贝是海中珍品，驰名全球，南岛的大龙 虾，只只生猛活蹦乱跳，北岛的三文鱼条条 鲜美，又嫩又爽，诱人的海鲜令各国食客流 连忘返。塔斯马尼亚州号称苹果州，其中的 红苹果品种一流，香甜沁人，产量为全澳之 冠。由苹果酿成的苹果酸汁则是塔州著名的 饮料产品，富有滋补强身的功能。 在文化艺术方面，塔州有一个世界级的 交响乐团、一个岛屿文化节和一个庆祝与南 极联系的隆冬节。1834年在霍巴特建成的 皇家剧院是澳大利亚最古老的剧场，1972 年曾举行过塔斯马尼亚州的第一届艺术节。 塔斯马尼亚人的文化生活非常活跃，州内拥 有许多业余乐团、合唱团和定期换演剧目的 剧团。

Beach bliss THERE’S NO ESCAPING THE SERENITY OF THE BEACH ALONG THE BAY OF FIRES WALK
n a crisp Tasmanian morning the sky is a sharp periwinkle blue, the sand is a soft silica white and the beach is completely empty. Not a single footprint disturbs the long stretch of sand. The Bay of Fires Lodge Walk takes you to the end of the Earth – or at least that’s how it feels when there are no other people as far as the eye can see. Just a few hours’ drive from Launceston but a world away from civilisation, this windswept stretch of coastline sits on the edge of Mt William National Park in Tasmania’s north-east. The lichen-covered boulders scattered along the sand are bright splashes of orange on an otherwise neutral palette – the common misconception is that the fire-coloured rocks gave the Bay its name. That’s not the case. The bay was actually named in 1773 by Captain Tobias Furneaux, who saw fires burning beyond the beach. According to our guides, Furneaux’s fires were the result of backburning by the local Aboriginals. The romance of the name suits. This is just one of many stories our guides will tell us over the course of four leisurely days walking along the beaches and bays between Boulder Point and Abbotsbury Beach. An Australian and an American, they’re both

in their 20s and full of an inspiring passion for geology and ecology. They go hiking on their days off and assist unpaid in research projects around the state. They carry all our fresh food, along with extra water in big backpacks all the way to the Bay of Fires Lodge. On a blustery day, when rain spits down and the waves threaten to touch the edge of our afternoon tea stop, they climb atop a boulder to put water on the boil in a camping stove. It’s precarious, but they’re determined to make sure everyone stays warm with a steaming cup of tea.
ALL IN ONE Walking in the rain might not sound like a luxury experience, but when you’re in the middle of nowhere, with beach on one side and bushland on the other, a freshly boiled cup of tea to wrap your hands around and sip on as you stroll along is something special. This afternoon tea, just a few hours into the journey, sets the tone for the Bay of Fires Lodge Walk. Like a cup of tea in the rain, the walk is an experience in contrasts: wild nature, award-winning architecture, sleeping bags, steaming foot baths.
为火焰湾之旅定下了基调。 就像一杯在雨中的热茶一 样，这次旅程是个充满对 比反差的体验——野外大 自然、屡获殊荣的建筑、 睡袋、蒸脚浴。 第一个晚上我们住在福 利斯特海滩野营（Forester Beach Camp），营内 虽然只拥有基本配套设施， 可是邻近海滩的地理位置 以及海浪声伴随着入睡的 体验是无价的。 其中最奢华的是优越 的地理位置。宁静的海滩， 与世隔离却不孤单。外面 没有任何其他活动，没有 选择之下只好拥抱大自然。 您可以去看、去听、去感 受，甚至去品尝它。螃蟹 在沙滩上乱窜、鸟儿在空 中飞舞、脚底下踏着软绵 海沙，还有导游在经过 随手摘下来的菠菜。这趟 徒步之旅充满了各种的感 官享受。
走在海滩上的曼妙之处 是您不需要担心地形，绵 长海滩平坦得连鞋子也脱 落。午间游泳只需放下背 包，走到海中任由冰冷的 海浪轻拍您的身体。 我们离开海滩的唯一原 因是转个角度看风景而已。 一天早晨我们往内陆的方 向走，两旁的灌木高耸入 云，突然看见一个“有袋 动物的草坪”在我们面前。 在这片长满苔藓的空地 出没的有小袋鼠、袋熊， 甚至是袋獾。我们的到访 吓着了一只正在吃早餐的 沙袋鼠，我们绕着空地的 边缘走时，它一边用力地 咀嚼。 这些动物虽然并不熟悉 人类，可是它们也不会受 惊惶。我们虽然没有遇见 罕有的袋獾，可是偶然发 现了它们留在地上的脚印。 第三天当我们沿着安森 河（Anson River）岸漫步

There are raw elements to this adventure. We carry our own clothing and water. If it rains, we get wet. The first night’s accommodation, the semi-permanent Forester Beach Camp, has basic amenities, but the beachside location and the sound of the waves as you drift off to sleep are priceless. The real luxury is the location. Isolated yet never lonely, the beach is quiet. There are no distractions out here. You have no choice but to embrace nature; to look, listen, feel, even taste it. Crabs scurrying across the beach, birds calling on the wind, the sand between your toes, the native spinach the guides pluck while passing plants; the walk takes over all your senses. The beauty of walking along a beach is that you’re not worried about terrain. On some stretches the beach is so flat our boots come off. A lunchtime swim is a matter of dropping your backpack on the sand and bracing for the cold slap of a wave rolling in.
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK The rare instances we veer off the beach are just for a change of scenery. Early one morning we head inland, walking a narrow dirt track where the shrubs rise high on either

The moss-covered clearings are kept manicured by wallabies, wombats – even a Tasmanian Devil or two – feeding off the plants, insects and smaller marsupials who call the fields home.

keep out the wind and cold. With the gas stove and hot plates on, it’s soon warm and toasty. A glass of Tasmanian pinot helps too. Dinner is plated up piping hot – locally farmed salmon, seared on the BBQ, with a ginger seaweed and buckwheat noodle salad. Whipping up a delicate, locally sourced meal in a tent after a day of hiking is quiet a feat – all we do is sit and enjoy the complimentary Tasmanian wine. Dessert is a decadent dark chocolate mousse, which the guides insist be eaten as we’ll need our energy for the day ahead. A day of exercise, full bellies, a few wines, the sound of the sea and everyone sleeps soundly – even without a five-star hotel bed.
FINAL DESTINATION By the end of day two, we arrive at the Bay of Fires Lodge. The piece de resistance of the walk, this architectural marvel blends into the bushland – unless you’re on the beach directly below, from where we just make out its large balcony and timber walls perched 40m above the sea. The main pavilion opens on three sides, floor-to-ceiling windows looking straight out on the Tasman Sea and the bush. A large fireplace in the lounge room draws us in each night – we pull our chairs closer to warm and nibble on Tasmanian brie before
dinner, then enjoy nightcaps and a heated game of charades by the dying embers. Guest rooms run parallel to the lodge; encased in wood with huge windows directly behind the bed, you look straight up into the stars each night. Bringing the outside in is a theme that carries throughout the lodge. In 2013 a day spa was added to the property – it sits just beyond the main lodge in a separate pavilion tucked into the cliffside. Hidden in the trees until you’re almost right on top of it, a visit to the spa is a must. Spa therapist Celia promises to make you feel like you’ve never put on a backpack, with a remedial massage that does just that – aches and pains vanish. Then there’s the bath. Down past the spa and through the bushes lies one of Australia’s most spectacular bathtubs. Perched on an open-air platform, this deep tub sits level with the treeline. Steam rises and is whisked away on the sea breeze. Baths are drawn and filled with native Australian flowers and berries. A blissful half-hour passes slowly, birds flying past and maybe even a wallaby hopping by. The Bay of Fires Lodge Walk earns its spot on the Great Walks of Australia. If there was ever an Aussie experience that gives you a taste of beach, bushland and bliss, this is it. ◆

he name Shanghai translates into English as ‘above the sea’ but – for the last century, at least – its name really should mean ‘ahead of the times’, because this busy trading city has for so long been synonymous with modern architecture. It still has more Art Deco buildings than any other city in the world, and the recent economic growth of China has accelerated this building spree. Nowhere is this more visible than in Pudong, the area east across the Huangpu River from the Bund. As many have observed, in the last 20 years rural Pudong has moved from Chinese farmland to the Chinese Dubai. These days its most readily recognised building is probably the Shanghai World Financial Center on Century Avenue. With its trapezoid aperture giving the impression of a giant bottle opener, the building was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox of New York. The shape of the aperture had to be altered early on with many, including the mayor of Shanghai, wanting the circle in the middle of building to be changed to a square. Fortunately, the redesign has made the building so distinctive and memorable

that the wheel has turned full circle and you can now buy bottle openers that resemble the Shanghai World Financial Center. This lofty mixed-use skyscraper was completed in 2008 and rises to a height of 492m, making it the tallest building in China at its time, and (as of 2015) the third-highest in China and the seventh-highest in the world. It has 101 floors, three observation decks, and contains offices, conference rooms, a shopping mall and the Park Hyatt Hotel which occupies floors 79 to 93. Taller still, however, is the adjacent Shanghai Tower. At 632m, it’s currently China’s tallest structure and the secondhighest in the world. The Shanghai Tower was designed by the American architectural firm Gensler, with Chinese architect Jun Xia leading the team. It’s actually comprised of nine cylindrical buildings stacked on top of each other to create a total of 121 floors. Everything is then enclosed by an inner layer of glass, which in turn is encased in a twisting outer layer of glass, giving the building its unique appearance. The size of the structure is demonstrated by the fact that between the inner and outer casings there is enough space for nine indoor zones with atriums, public gardens, cafes, restaurants and retail space. The tower has just opened and contains offices and a new 27-floor J-hotel, which will be the tallest hotel in the world at the time of its unveiling. Together, with the nearby Jin Mao Tower, these two buildings make up the world’s first cluster of “supertall” skyscrapers. At only 88 storeys Jin Mao Tower is the oldest of the three. It was opened in 1999, having been designed by the Chicago firm of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. The external structure references both the tiered pagodas of imperial China and the Art Deco skyscrapers of 1930s New York. Internally, the architects worked with the highly auspicious Chinese number eight. There are 88 floors (88 symbolises fortune and good luck) and the whole structure is divided into 16 segments, each of which is 1/8 shorter than the base – which is itself 16 storeys tall. Moreover, the core of the tower is octagonal, surrounded by two groups of eight exterior columns. One of the most daring features of the building is a vaulted atrium, which runs between floors 56 and 87. Around this 32-storey void the Park Hyatt Hotel has been built on floors 53 to 87. The view down through the atrium from the Skywalk observation deck on the 88th

floor is vertiginous and unforgettable. Not surprisingly, the price of admission to the Skywalk is 88 RMB. The building that first defined Pudong as somewhere new and special was the Oriental Pearl Radio & TV Tower, which was completed back in what now feels like ancient history – but was in fact 1994. It stands at the beginning of Century Avenue and was designed by three architects from Shanghai Modern Architectural Design. At 468m this was the tallest structure in China until the completion of the World Financial Center. Today its retro 1950s futurism offers a magnificent sight from the Bund, particularly when illuminated at night. Although the pioneering tower was not without its detractors for many years, it is now accepted as one of the defining symbols of Shanghai.
As well as its broadcasting role, the tower has 15 observatory levels. The highest (known as the Space Module) is 350m and has an impressive exterior glass-floored area for those who don’t suffer vertigo. There’s also a revolving restaurant at 267m and a 20-room hotel called the Space Hotel between the two large red-rimmed spheres. Like so many of these skyscrapers, the Oriental Pearl Tower also has exhibition facilities and retail space on the lower floors. Not everything new in Pudong scrapes the clouds, however. The Shanghai Oriental Sports Center, whose exterior walls resemble white sails in the wind, opened in July 2011 for the FINA World Swimming Championships. It was built on a brownfield industrial site alongside the Huangpu River. The architects were a German-based company working with a mixed European and Chinese team. They enclosed a stadium, natatorium (swimming hall), outdoor swimming pool and 15-floor media centre within this delicate complex, which was designed for multipurpose usage – boxing matches, basketball, badminton, ice-hockey matches and concerts – after the Swimming

Arguably one of the best restaurants in Australia and sitting a lofty 55 floors above Melbourne, Vue De Monde’s reputation doesn’t disappoint. Shannon Bennett discusses his path to discovering Australian food culture, sustainable cooking and his vision for the future of Melbourne’s dining scene. Vue De Monde餐厅算得上是澳大利亚最棒的餐厅 之一，位于墨尔本55楼的高处。极具声望的Vue De Monde餐厅名不虚传。老板兼主厨Shannon Bennett 跟我们探讨自己探索澳大利亚饮食文化的过程、 “可持 续发展”烹饪模式以及他对墨尔本餐饮未来的愿景。
What where your early influences in food? I grew up in a very small town called Westmeadows in Victoria 餐厅是怎样开始的？ in the early 80s. I was never Vue De Monde是关于 very good at Mandarin class so 对世界的观点，准确一点 I was given the option to go to 来说是我对世界的看法。 the girls’ school in the 我一直希望研发和展示法 neighbourhood and learn home 式烹调的讲究的技术。后 economics.

您对食物的热情是怎样开 始的？ 在80年代初我生长在维多 利亚省的一个很小的城镇 叫Westmeadows。我 在学校的普通话课上表 现欠佳，所以老师让我 到附近的女校上家政课。 当时班上只有我和Curtis Stone两个男生，我们原 先打算到那边认识女生， 可是后来才发现自己是那 么的喜欢烹饪。
来都是我的理想，我想 把在外面学到的技能带 回家。
How did Vue de Monde come about? Vue de Monde is all about the view of the world or, more specifically, my view of the world. I always wanted to develop and showcase how skilful French cooking actually is. Over time I began to become fascinated by the origins of food and ingredients, which is when I started focusing on sourcing local ingredients and telling a story on the plate about local Victoria. Now it’s all about the Australian flavours, textures and feel. The restaurant has evolved into me attempting to discover what Australian food culture is. What are you trying to achieve with Vue de Monde? Our goal is to produce food that you can’t make at home and to make you feel aspirational in both the feel of the restaurant and the view over Melbourne; and for you to look down at your plate and see great ingredients, cooked really well and simply. We are trying to deliver a dish where the produce becomes the hero. Vue de Monde isn’t all about being uptight; there are no set rules. It’s a place where you can be completely relaxed in the dining experience. ◆

Christy Tania

With so many tapas bars and fine-dining restaurants in Melbourne, Christy Tania knew she needed to get involved in something different. Drawing inspiration from art and fine French techniques, Om Nom delivers some of Australia's most beautiful and complex desserts. 墨尔本拥有许多的小吃酒吧和高级餐厅，Christy Tania知道她需要创造另类的体验。灵感来自艺术品以 及精致的法国技术，Om Nom餐厅提供一些澳大利亚 最精致、最复杂的甜点。
您对食物的热情是怎样开 始的？ 我在雅加达长大，16岁时 移居新加坡。新加坡很大 的程度被马来西亚、中国、 印度尼西亚和菲律宾影响， 因此新加坡美食也融合了 各地的风味。混合出来的 美食味道微妙并且带有许 多不同的味道，帮助我的 味蕾发展的更广泛。年轻 时，我积极参与艺术活动 如画画、作诗和粘土制作， 长大后我意识到可以把甜 点变成艺术。制作糕点需 要非常精准的技术，精准 度犹如工程师，这也是我 前往法国深造，接受专业 训练成为糕点师傅的原因。 为何会移居墨尔本？ 我移居墨尔本的原因很简 单，就是因为认识了一位 男生。我在巴黎受训时遇 上了一个澳大利亚人。当 时我工作的地方巴黎丽兹 酒店要关门三年进行翻新 工程，所以我的男朋友便 问我是否愿意来澳大利亚 居住，我想了一想，为何 不呢？就这样便从此在澳 大利亚定居下来了。 Om Nom餐厅和Adelphi 酒店是怎样开始的？ 在高级的环境里专门享用 甜品在墨尔本是一个新的 概念，幸好我自己也是一
个另类的甜品师傅。我们 当初并不知道这个点子行 不行得通，让客人专程去 餐厅吃甜点是一个风险很 高的概念。可是我觉得值 得冒这个险。墨尔本的餐 饮美食界比悉尼更多元化。 我们有东非菜、秘鲁菜， 甚至是我们的意大利菜也 比较发达。这里的创意和 风格基本上是无穷无尽的， 而且墨尔本的人似乎比较 愿意尝试新事物。只要您 是有实力的，便会找到跟 随者。 餐单上有许多极具创意的 甜品，创作灵感来自哪里？ 每一季我都会推出不同的 款式。有些味道我知道混 合起来是好吃的，所以我 会挑选那些味道，然后开 始构思外观。但是两者次 序也可以倒过来。在我摆 盘前，当我脑海里想着那 种味道，已经会联想到颜 色、质感以及呈现的方式。 我们的主菜便是之前我拿 去澳洲版《厨艺大师》参 赛的芒果甜点。它是一道 非常复杂的甜品，需要很 多技巧。里面有泡芙、芒 果慕斯、芒果肉、椰汁珍 珠、白巧克力碎、酸柑雪 葩和椰子泡沫。至于摆盘 我喜欢呈现出神秘古怪的 感觉，让甜点在盘子里看 上去很“壮观”。◆
What were your early influences in food? When I was younger I was involved in a lot of arts such as painting, poetry and clay making, and eventually when I grew up I realised I could make desserts into an art too. Pastry is very precise, which means I’m sort of like an architect when it comes to dessert, and is why I decided to up and move to France to classically train as a pastry chef. How did you get involved with Om Nom and the Adelphi Hotel? The idea for a dessert-centric fine dining space was a different kind of concept here in Melbourne and fortunately I’m a bit of a different pastry chef myself. We didn’t know if this was going to work. The idea for a restaurant where people go just for dessert was a very risky concept. But it was a risk I thought was worth it. The gastronomy scene in Melbourne is a lot more diverse compared to Sydney. We have East African, Peruvian and even our Italian is much more developed. The ideas and styles here are basically endless and people in Melbourne seem to be more willing to try something new. If you’re good, you’ll find followers.
How does the creativity strike? I have different ideas and dishes for every season. There are some flavours I know are sure-fire combinations, so I’ll pick the flavour and then start to develop the look. But I can work both forward and backwards. When I think of the flavour, I start to think of the colours and the texture and the medium before I start to plate it. Our main dish is the mango alphonso, which I took to Masterchef Australia. It’s a complex dish with a lot of techniques. It has a Choux pastry, mango mousse, poached mango, coconut pearls, white chocolate crumble, kalamansi sorbet and coconut foam. I like to create everything in the style of mythical and quirky scenes to create a real spectacle on the plate. Have you seen the Melbourne dining scene evolve? The scene is completely different to the rest of the world. Having lived in four different countries I’ve seen a lot of different styles. In Melbourne there’s so much choice, and a lot of room to improve. People are willing to learn and to try. As a chef in Melbourne it can be a challenge to cater to so many types of people with different diets, although this forces me to learn new ways of preparing dishes. ◆

NO. 8 BY JOHN LAWSON MELBOURNE
John Lawson
76
John Lawson shares his love of Australian produce and hearty home cooking, and explains why high-end modern Australian cooking is still so popular in Melbourne. John Lawson与我们分享了他对澳大利亚出产的 热爱，丰盛的佳肴以及为何高端现代澳大利亚菜 在墨尔本仍然大受欢迎。
您曾经在许多世界级的餐 厅工作，是什么让您走上 厨师这条路？ 这是一个很多波折的 长故事。长话短说， Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons餐厅聘请了我， 在那里我与Raymond Blanc共事，后来一直 做到高级厨师主管，这是 我到目前为止工作上最 被启发的一段时间，直 到现在我还会回想过去找 灵感。几年后我移居到 纽约，跟Daniel Boulud 在他荣获米其林三星的餐 厅工作，我还参与在伦敦 Gordon Ramsey餐厅的 开张，之后在那里一直做 到副厨师长的职位。我 的签证到期后，Gordon 给我一个在墨尔本的职 位，负责Maze餐厅并且 在那里当主厨，我便来到 了这里。 您在No.8 by John Lawson餐厅以及皇冠 赌场所担任的是什么 角色？ 这是一家开了很久的餐 厅，并且在墨尔本声名大 噪。可是我却常常看到 需要填补的位置，然后思 想我能在这个空缺中做 点什么。我在皇冠工作已 经有一段长时间，他们 最终把这个空缺给我。我
觉得我能把餐厅提升至更 高层次，并且认真地看 一下我们食材的来源地， 尽量采用本土出产的 食材。 为何本地出产和可持续性 对您而言那么重要？ 这是我的信念并且希望 启发整组人共同带领餐厅 往前迈进。我受训时已 经选用当地出产，将其 发挥极致却不过于复杂 化，一直以来跟我的风格 相融合。烹饪一个持续 的学习过程，在维多利亚 有许多独特的出产物，让 厨师能创造出如此精妙 的菜谱。 您是如何看待墨尔本饮食 界的发展？ 墨尔本的厨师之间有着 紧密的联系。比起伦敦或 纽约，墨尔本的这个圈 子是挺小的。所以每个人 都似乎知道谁做得好谁 做得不好。虽然这个是 一个小城市，可是却充满 各式各样的美食，生活 在这里的人也越来越愿 意在外面进餐。只要厨 师们和餐厅老板继续努 力，这个情况将会越来越 厉害。如果我们都持续 追求更多的美食，墨尔本 的饮食业将会一直发展 下去。◆
You've worked in a number of world-class restaurants. What inspired you to pursue this path? That’s a long story with many twists and turns but essentially I got a job with Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons and worked my way up to Senior Chef De Partie, which was, to date, my most inspiring time working. I still look back to it for inspiration. After a few years I moved to New York to work with Daniel Boulud at his three Michelin star restaurant and I was also involved in the opening of Gordon Ramsay at the London where I worked my way up to Sous Chef. After my visa ran out, Gordon offered me a role in Melbourne to open Maze as the head chef, which is what finally brought me here. How did you get involved at No.8 by John Lawson and the Crown Casino? It’s a great restaurant that has been there for a long time and has a massive reputation in Melbourne. But it was in a bit of a decline. I had always seen the space and thought, wow, what a great spot, and had always had a vision of what I could do in that space. Since I have worked with the Crown for a long time, they eventually offered the space to me. I thought that I could take
the space to new levels and really aim to look at where we are getting food from and keeping the produce regionally based. Why is it so important for your produce to be locally sourced and sustainable? It’s something I believe in and something I want to inspire in the whole team here, to bring the restaurant forward. I have a background in produce after all my training, so to just take an ingredient and do it justice and not complicate it was always going to go hand-in-hand with my style. Cooking is constant learning; there’s such unique produce around Victoria that lets you create such an amazing menu. How have you seen the Melbourne food scene develop? Melbourne has a very close-knit community among the chefs. It is quite small compared to London or New York, so everyone seems to know who is doing well and who isn’t. The city might be small, but it has also become a very intense food city where people are loving to eat out more and more. It will only get stronger as long as chefs and restaurateurs keep pushing themselves. It will always develop if we can all continue to strive for more. ◆

Where does your produce come from and why is it important to be locally sourced? We try to source our produce as locally as possible and from many organic farmers who grow specifically for us. Some of the produce we use might even be foraged; this could be anything from nettles or wild weeds. I like to use ingredients like this purely for the flavour; it’s more natural and complex. We have a constant dialogue of what’s good, what’s coming into season and what’s about to finish. This really inspires us and helps us direct our menus. We can’t make the base ingredient any better by using our techniques; the base ingredient has to be superior to start with. How have you seen the Melbourne dining scene evolve? Australia is such an exciting place to be cooking, there’s just so many things happening in the food scene. It’s still a new and young industry here, which means there’s a lot of great energy and a lot of great young chefs who are opening up smaller and more accessible restaurants. We also have a wonderful wine culture here that supports what we are doing with our food. It’s a very important part of what we do and where we are going. ◆

Back to the future THERE’S A FUTURISTIC ELEMENT TO THE DESIGN OF THE OPERA HOUSE
modern masterpiece

Guangzhou’s Opera House has achieved what many architects consider the Holy Grail: to become a must-see attraction that is synonymous with its city, writes Adrian Mourby
GUANGZHOU 82
I Big city lights DESIGN WAS MEANT TO REFLECT BOTH THE PEARL RIVER AND FUTURE CITY CENTRE
t’s best to get your first sight of Guangzhou’s famous Opera House in the evening. As the brand-new skyscrapers that surround Haixinsha Square burst into light, a strange double-pebble building down below begins to glow through its glass walls and irregular roof-lights. In turn, those lights are reflected in the small lake edging around this remarkable alien structure that appears to have landed from another world. Guangzhou’s Opera House has been variously described as “intergalactic,” “organic,” “neofuturistic,” and, according to the New York Times, “the most alluring opera house built anywhere in the world in decades.”
The architect of one of China’s best-known modern buildings first gazed upon this site on the Pearl River in the early 1990s. In 1993, Mayor Lin Shusen had announced that a new commercial and cultural quarter would be built alongside the river that had made Guangzhou’s prosperity possible. This new quarter would be 22km outside the old city centre and, as such, statement buildings were needed. Zaha Hadid – Iraqi-born but based in the UK – was still an emerging talent at the time. She had recently won the competition to build a remarkable new opera house in Cardiff. Unfortunately, that project was ultimately shelved in favour of a new rugby stadium –

cultural centre in Azerbaijan – but in 2010 her work was still relatively new and surprising.
FUTURE DESIGNS
much to Cardiff’s enduring shame – but thus it was that it fell to China, not Britain, to become the home of Hadid’s first opera house. It would be another 10 years, in 2005, before the ground-breaking ceremony took place, and a further five years – a very long time in the high-speed word of Guangzhou construction – before the Opera House opened in an international blaze of publicity. The cost of RMB 1.38 billion was huge, but reinventing architecture doesn’t necessarily come cheaply. By now we’ve become used to Hadid’s distinctive style – in 2012, she contributed to the site of the London Olympic Games, and she has created a modern art gallery in Rome and a
Hadid’s design for Guangzhou – often likened to two smoothed pebbles by the Pearl River – had come out on top in a 2002 competition where she went up against her older mentor, the great modernist architect Rem Koolhaas. Could her ideas even be built, given the complex intersections that would hold the walls and roof structure in place? “It’s always exciting when architectural concepts can be delivered through a new construction technique, and some examples of this can be seen in the Opera House project,” says Hadid. So few of the steel junctions were identical that, in the end, the Chinese construction team sandcast each in an ancient Shanghai foundry, as used to be the method with bells and cannons. The 75,000 irregular black granite slabs had to be cut by hand. Hadid, an artist in her own right as well as an architect, chose to clothe her two pebbles in a mix of granite and glass, and to surround them with grass and water. It provides an organic feel to the space that hides its purpose as a performance venue. “In Chinese culture, certain analogical thinking makes sense and the idea of pebbles and rocks on the banks of a stream is actually very meaningful for a project located next to the Pearl River,” explains Hadid.

By contrast with traditional European opera houses where functionality can be read in the roofline – the flytower for raising scenery, the domed roof over the auditorium, the broad foyers through which patrons are admitted – Hadid’s new opera house encased its workings so that they disappeared. In Beijing, Paul Andreu did something similar at his National Centre for the Performing Arts (2007), where a huge egg shape, apparently floating in water, contains three separate buildings for opera, theatre and concerts.
THE INSIDE STORY The magic does not diminish inside. The larger of the two pebbles contains an 1880seat concrete auditorium surrounded by black granite floors and foyer spaces that twist, turn, and weave in characteristic Hadid style. Here staircases, for centuries the grand focus of European opera houses, flow, slope and stretch as they lead to the upper tiers of the auditorium and the balconies. Long before she designed her first opera house, Hadid had discussed the idea of buildings as landscapes, and of her desire to shape the structures and spaces within a building as if they meandered like a river. Here in Guangzhou, it’s clear that this building was more than just a job – it was the realisation of a dream. Light from the city penetrates the foyer space as it is lit from end to end by windows cut into the walls and ceilings. Hadid’s idea here, an unusual one for opera, was to stress

One with nature AT NIGHT THE STRUCTURE LOOKS ALMOST ORGANIC, BLENDING WITH ITS SURROUNDINGS
that even inside a temple of the arts, “the sense that you are part of a city remains. The city doesn’t just go away.” Once inside the auditorium, the audience is overwhelmed by the vision of a great grotto, illuminated from above by the pinpoints of thousands of fairy lights, rather than by the traditional chandeliers of old Europe. Critics have likened this massive cavern to the inside of an oyster shell or the mouth of a great shark. As house lights dim before a performance, the ceiling is left dotted like the night sky with thousands of stars. Even more radical, however, is the shape of the auditorium, where undulating balconies cascade down to the stage. This space is not symmetrical; it juts out in places at angles that should, in theory, wreck the acoustics. But in practice, this isn’t necessarily the case. “The requirements in an auditorium for Western and Chinese operatic performances differ significantly,” explains Hadid. “With Western opera the focus is on natural acoustics, whereas in Chinese opera, the drama and story have priority and audio equipment is used on almost every occasion. Our research into opera house and auditorium design over the
past 20 years has shown us the many benefits of asymmetrical auditoriums. They can give a real depth to the natural acoustics.” And the auditorium has proven remarkably well adapted to the demands of both Chinese and European opera. Harold Marshall, the acoustician who worked on fine-tuning Guangzhou’s acoustics before the Opera House’s opening night, has claimed that although an asymmetrical rarity like Guangzhou is more of a challenge to tune, “The possibilities are actually greater. This opera house has a beautifully balanced sound.” The house has already staged Puccini’s Turandot – an opera about a cruel Chinese empress that had previously been banned in China – as well as Chinese versions of Cats and Mamma Mia. Without a resident opera company, Guangzhou has to be able to offer all manner of entertainment, and its maverick design helps attract a wide range of performers and audiences.

as a 440-seater black box, as well as kitchens, canteens and the obligatory rehearsal space, designed by Hadid to have rippling ceilings and mirrored walls. Meanwhile, above ground, the narrow space between the two pebbles has been likened to the narrow crevice that admits visitors to the Nabatean city of Petra in Jordan. Beyond the pebbles themselves, various pathways lead the visitor through a sequence of vistas and into the kind of empty public space that went out of fashion in Europe in the 1980s. Hadid has expressed her desire to rehabilitate the large public space. No doubt she will. The Guangzhou Opera House stands as a great affirmation of China’s faith in architectural modernism. That said, the execution of the project has not been without its problems. Glass panels have fallen in, cracks have appeared in walls and ceilings, and some of the granite slabs are having to be replaced. But then, no one ever said reinventing architecture would be easy. Nonetheless, the building is having a wide-ranging influence – even beyond architecture. New York fashion designer
Vivienne Tam, who was herself born in Guangzhou, cited Hadid’s opera house as inspiration behind her Fall 2010 collection. The presence of international banks and hotel chains like the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons in this hitherto unremarkable part of the city attests to the impact of the building. If there’s one criticism, it’s perhaps that the Opera House doesn’t actually lie alongside the river, but rather a few roads back. As new opera houses in Oslo and Copenhagen have shown, there’s something magical about the close proximity of opera and water. But there’s plenty of magic in Hadid’s design. Guangzhou not only had the honour of building her first opera house, but now it has the honour of seeing its influence spread around the world. ◆

T
he role of hotels has evolved over the last decade or so. While guests still expect the basics – good service, designer amenities, bed comfort that matches their own back at home – they also look for all the bells and whistles that should come with staying at a high-end hotel. Guests want to be dazzled, and hotels are going above and beyond to make sure they are. No longer is it impressive enough to have some of the world’s leading chefs heading the restaurant kitchen; hotel dining venues must also boast some of the best views in the city. Visiting a spa is only worth it if it offers exclusive, one-of-a-kind treatments; alternatively, these days, you could just have the therapist come to your room. Hotel gyms are also becoming obsolete as resorts encourage guests to head outdoors for exercise-related tours, allowing them to experience the city while also keeping fit during their travels.

What better way to start the day than with a little exercise? Yoga under the Harbour Bridge – why not? As the sun rises, you’ll find guests of Pier One on the hotel’s harbourside deck practising Ashtanga yoga, right beneath one of the city’s greatest landmarks. For those unfamiliar with yoga terms, Ashtanga style is based on four pillars: breath, strength, integrity and spirit. The hotel employs special instructors Zac Brooker and Charlie Hamilton, founders of Asha Yoga Sydney. Both have travelled throughout India, completing 200 hours of yoga training. They specialise in enhancing relaxation and fitness simultaneously. With the waves of the harbour providing a natural soundtrack to your session, how could you not leave feeling relaxed and refreshed, ready to start your day? Of course, if you’re still in need of some TLC you can opt for the hotel’s stay-in-spa
option. That’s right – you don’t even have to leave your room to get a full-on treatment. The in-room spa options aren’t limited, either: full body massages, exfoliating scrubs, facials, manicures, pedicures and even waxing are all featured on the bespoke menu. Jumping on board with the ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ approach to looking after guests, the Westin has launched RunWESTIN. The running program not only keeps your fitness intact while holidaying, but its carefully planned routes will also allow you to explore the city by foot. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or experienced runner, there’s a map for you to follow. Jog by the harbour, past the Opera House, through the Botanic Gardens to Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair, past the Art Gallery and over to Hyde Park – all before you’ve had breakfast. If you happened to ‘forget’ your sneakers, you needn’t worry: there’s no excuse not to run at the Westin. Just let the hotel know what size shoe you are and a pair of New Balance kicks will be delivered to your room, along with socks – yours to keep. If you’ve chosen to start your day right by exercising, it’s best to keep up the healthy routine by heading to the Westin’s Mosaic

Altitude Restaurant and Blu Bar at Shangri-La boast arguably the most incredible panoramic views of Sydney Harbour you can get (short of flying in a helicopter). The restaurant sits on the 36th level of the hotel. Taking full advantage of its prime real estate, the stunning view is inescapable with five-metre-high floorto-ceiling windows. Whether it’s the Opera House or Harbour Bridge you’d like to gaze at while dining, just pick a side of the restaurant and the view is yours. The view isn’t the only thing that sets Altitude apart from the rest. Leading the kitchen is Chef de Cuisine, Nathan Griffin. Having spent his formative years working alongside Michelin-trained chefs, Nathan has no shortage of expertise. Joining Altitude in 2010, his aim for the sky-high dining was to approach Australian cuisine with a focus on fresh, local, seasonal ingredients. Cheeses are brought in from Tasmania, barramundi from Cone Bay, swordfish from Western Australia, carrots from the Blue Mountains and oysters from Sydney.

it sits a couple of floors up from the Hilton’s hotel lobby. Not your average hotel bar, Zeta has been a hit among young and trendy locals for over a decade now. We have a feeling it has something to do with the cocktails, with menus based on some of the world’s famously fun locations: Milan, London, Singapore, Puerto Rico, New York, and, of course, Sydney. Each of the menus feature drinks with ingredients for which the city it’s named after is famous. Milan’s menu, for example, is a catwalk of bittersweet aperitifs and digestives that have been inspired by the timeless sophistication of classic Italian drinks. The Buongiorno Principessa is a coffee-inspired cocktail containing Ketel One vodka and coffee, with hints of port and an Italian digestivo – sure to bring out the Italian in all of us. On London’s menu, you’ll find the London Garden Party. A classic combination of Hendricks gin and cucumber with hints of lemon and dry vermouth, to fit the stereotype it’s served in a tea cup. Heading Down Under, Sydney’s menu is made up with fresh, fruity and fun flavours. The Zeta Nitro Sorbet features three cocktails with a nitro blast, turning them into refreshing sorbets and served on a smoking plate with a mini-cocktail on the side. Pick from Watermelon Margarita, Dark & Stormy or Summer & Cider. As Zeta Bar’s Sydney menu suggests, the capital has become known as a fun city that tourists won’t get tired of. No matter how long you spend in Sydney, there’s always something new and unique to try. Whether it’s starting your day off right by exercising, exploring the city, looking to relax or spending your nights at fine-dining restaurants or exclusive bars, you won’t have to step foot out of your hotel to get a truly unique Sydney experience. ◆

Nature’s best NOT ALL ROCK, THE BLUE MOUNTAINS ARE ALSO FILLED WITH FASCINATING LOCAL FLORA
egend goes that long, long ago, three beautiful sisters lived in the Jamison Valley with the Gundungurra people. Meehni, Wimlah and Gunnedoo’s love for three brothers of the nearby Dharruk tribe was forbidden. As love stories often go, battle threatened to break out. In an attempt to protect the women, Kuradjuri, a ‘clever man’ of the Gundungurra people, turned all three into stone. And hence, the Three Sisters were born. Forever immortalised in the rock at Echo Point, they stand more than 900 metres high. There’s no happy ending here, but the tragic love story of the Blue Mountains captures the hearts of millions of visitors each year. The sight of the three mountains washed in a golden sunset or standing tall in the blue haze that gives the region its name is not to be missed. The Blue Mountains may not have the padlock-love bridges, cobblestoned streets or fairytale castles of Europe’s most romantic cities, but it has something else: the Australian bushland. The Three Sisters are just one landmark in roughly 10,000 square kilometres that make up the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, located just two hours’ drive west of Sydney. Eight different conservation zones are home to dramatic waterfalls, quiet rainforest pockets, walking tracks, wildlife and rare tree species. Ancient rainforests within the Heritage Area are home to more than 100 different species of eucalyptus trees. It’s the oil from

姐妹峰作为蓝 山的象征，其 命名来源于澳 大利亚土著人的一个古 老传说。相传在很久以 前，有三位美貌如花的姐 妹Meehni、Wimlah和 Gunnedoo跟贡东古拉人 住在杰米逊谷（Jamison Valley），她们三人同时 爱上了跟贡东古拉人有 宿怨的Dharruk族兄弟三 人，因此引爆了两族间的 战争。但贡东古拉人中有 一位名为Kuradjuri的聪明 人，为了保护三姐妹免受 战争的威胁便把她们变成 石头。三姐妹峰便从此诞 生，并且永远竖立在回声 角（Echo Point）900米的 高处之上。 蓝山这个缠绵凄惨的爱 情故事却捕获了很多游客 的心，每年都会有大量游 客慕名而来拜访三姐妹峰。 而蓝山得名于三姐妹峰被 金色的夕阳笼罩着或是因 为它们屹立在一层蓝色的 薄雾之中。 蓝山或许没有锁上“同 心锁”的爱桥、 鹅卵石的 街道或欧洲一些最浪漫的 城市里童话般的城堡，可

these trees that evaporates and mixes with the dust in the atmosphere to create a blue haze on the horizon. In the height of summer, the mountains take on a deep blue cast. The forests are also home to the Wollemi pine. Nicknamed the ‘dinosaur tree’, the Wollemi pine was discovered in the 1990s by a NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service officer hiking in Wollemi National Park. There are thought to be less than 100 mature trees of this rare species left in the wild, which is part of the 200-million-year-old Araucariaceae family.
SETTING THE SCENE It’s unlikely you’ll see the Wollemi pine on any of the more popular bushwalking trails in the Blue Mountains. Like spotting a koala in the wild, they’re almost impossible to find without expert eyes. Luckily, Scenic World, the region’s most popular tourist attraction, is part of a propagation program that sees young Wollemi pines reintroduced into the landscape. Scenic World is part theme park, part educational centre, but most importantly, it’s the quickest way to get a full, 360-degree view of the iconic Blue Mountains escarpments. Located five minutes drive from Katoomba, the area’s major town, Scenic World is open 365 days a year and has been owned by the Hammon family since 1945.

art Mother Nature, part human ingenuity, the Longji Terraced Fields north of Guilin are a testament to China’s love affair with rice. They’re also astoundingly beautiful. More than 60km² of these verdant, maze-like staircases were first built during the Yuan Dynasty (13th and 14th century), though their construction continued up until the early 1900s. The oldest section, Ping’an Zhuang, tends to attract the biggest crowds – and fairly enough, as it’s not only large, but also wraps gorgeously around an eponymous local village containing century-old stilted houses. Spend an afternoon hiking the levels, discover worn stone bridges and watch the terraces mesmerisingly shift shape with your perspective. Meanwhile, the Jinkeng Terraces around honey-hued Dazhai village contain some of the most photo-worthy landscapes – if you’re up for the hike.
It’s a bit of a slog from the entrance, but watching the paddies glow as the sun sets over the area known as West Hill Music is pure magic. Do it: Entrance fee to the terraces is 100 RMB. Come in autumn, when the fields turn golden and are filled with farmers harvesting. Make your base historic Guilin (two hours and 30 minutes away), at the opulent Shangri-La (shangri-la.com).

een Avatar? Then you’ll have little problem picturing the unusual landscape of Hunan’s Zhangjiajie forest park – its hallmark, towering quartzsandstone pillars supposedly provided inspiration for the film’s floating Hallelujah Mountain. Local authorities have even gone so far as naming one of the most famous peaks – which soars at 3,500 feet – accordingly. But the thousands of jagged rock figures, which rise like skyscrapers or enormous pointed fingers from the ground, are part of a larger network of valleys and grottos filled with hundreds of rare tree
species – some of which cling to the lofty stone faces. The sound of unseen birds reverberates off the peaks; this is serious bird-watching and animal-spotting territory (it’s home to the Rhesus monkey and giant salamander). There’s 480,000m² for exploring, but you simply cannot miss the Yellow Stone Stronghold (Huangshizhai) – this observation platform at 1,080m opens up to cinema-worthy vistas of the remarkable pillars. Do it: Entrance to the park from 245 RMB. Base yourself in Zhangjiajie city – the Pullman (pullmanhotels.com) is wellplaced and has a pool.

hen the sun is out and the air is still, Five-Flower Lake glitters like a rare tourmaline. The vivid spectrum of turquoise, teal, green and yellow makes this the crown jewel of over 100 brilliant lakes in Jiuzhaigou Valley National park, tucked into Sichuan province north of Chengdu. Through the shallow crystalline water, over 2,000m above sea level, you can spot ancient tree trunks: casualties from the thick forest that surrounds the waters. The calcium carbonate content of the lake, along with different-coloured hydrophytes, lend a unique colour palette, making the ghostly figures below often appear as though they
have been frozen in ice. Like what you see? While Five-Flower might be the most celebrated, many of Jiuzhaigou’s other lakes are also coloured, gleaming amidst karst and tufa-hewn landscapes. Explore virgin bamboo forests, making sure you keep your camera at the ready – it may be a rare stroke of luck, but as Jiuzhaigou is home to around 20 wild pandas as well as the endangered Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, you never know what else you might spot… Do it: Depending on the season, ticket prices fluctuate between 80 and 220 RMB. Come in autumn, when the coppery tones of the surrounding forest really make the lake colours pop.

f you’ve ever wandered aimlessly through a garden maze, you’ll have some idea of what to expect from the Stone Forest. In place of perfectly manicured hedges, expect to become lost amongst 550km² of rugged, prehistoric limestone pillars towering almost 30m high – a little more exciting than your typical
stroll in the park. Just an hour and a half outside of Kunming, the UNESCO World Heritage Stone Forest is believed to date back 270 million years and was carved out delicately and gradually over millions of years of erosion. You might usually squirm at the idea of being lost in a forest, but here, that’s half the fun. After hours of tracing the many snaking routes and diverging paths, the rocks start to take the form of animals, people and mythical creatures, which probably means its about time you take a break in the Wangfeng Ting Pavilion where you can get a panoramic view over the sea of stone spires. Here you’ll find most of the people visiting the park, and a great spot for some quick photos. Do it: Admission is RMB 175 and you’ll surely need a tour guide to get yourself around the park.

ramatic’ doesn’t quite do justice to Yunnan’s Tiger Leaping Gorge. Legend has it a tiger fleeing its hunter once successfully jumped across – hence the name. It would have had to be one sprightly feline; at its narrowest point, the gorge spans 25m across. The luminescent blue Jinsha River, a tributary of China’s iconic Yangtze, slithers between the sky-scraping Haba Snow and Jade Dragon Snow mountains, each over 5,000m. The gorge itself plummets over 3,500m deep into the rock between. The river, too wild to be navigated, is at a constant crush as it rushes past narrow, craggy riverbanks. Still, Jinsha’s surrounds attract eager hikers, who spend days treading a path in the slopes
above. They stay at simple guesthouses along the waterfall-speckled length, popping into prehistoric caves and brushing shoulders with the local Naxi people. Not so intrepid? An easier, paved walking route hugging the river below lets you walk the gorge’s 15km length in a few hours, rather than days. Bus tours also visit the gorge via a road at the bottom of the canyon. Do it: There’s a nominal entry fee for the hike (around 50 RMB). The best time to go is autumn (October or November) or spring – avoid the rainy season from June to September when hiking trails can be wet and dangerous. Start and end your journey in luxury in Lijiang, at the super-plush Banyan Tree (banyantree.com).
有“戏剧性”都不 能完全精确的形容 云南虎跳峡。相传猛虎 为了摆脱猎手而跳跃过 江，故称虎跳峡。它必定 是一只身手非常敏捷的老 虎，因为此峡谷最窄处也 有25米宽。金沙江是中国 有名的长江的支流，蔚蓝 的江水在高越5,000米的 哈巴雪山和玉龙雪山之间 冲刷出一个超过3,500米 深的峡谷。湍急的江流在 两侧岩石之间的夹缝中硬 挤了过去，形成了世界上 最壮观的大峡谷。纵然虎 跳峡江水滔滔，以险闻 名天下，可是仍然没有削 减游客行走危崖山间的兴 致，吸引着爱好徒步探险 的游客沿山路攀缓而上，
居高临下俯瞰虎跳峡壮丽 景色。峡谷中有简易客栈 旅馆供徒步者歇脚，像原 始人一样跟当地的纳西人 挤在洞穴里。另外一条相 对轻松简单的路径是走在 亲水栈道上，几个小时的 路程便能穿越15公里的 峡谷，而不需要几天的时 间。位于峡谷的底部也有 提供巴士游览团。 出行资讯：徒步游览 的统一入场费是约50块人 民币。前往游览的最佳时 间是秋季（十月或11月） 或春季。六月至九月是雨 季，这段时间徒步路径变 得湿滑危险，切记不要在 这段时间前往。以豪华舒 适的丽江悦榕庄作您出发 以及终结的地方吧。

Zhangye Danxia Landforms ZHA NGY E, G A NSU PROV INCE

f you woke up in the middle of the 400km² Zhangye Danxia Landforms, you’d be forgiven for thinking you had landed on another planet. The colour palette of this desert-like rolling landscape in Gansu province, central-north China, is unlike anything you’ve ever seen on Earth. Red sandstone hills, ribbed in stripey tones of blue, yellow, green and ochre, look like earthly rainbows – though, in fact, they are mineral deposits that have shifted unusually in the rock over millions of years. As if that wasn’t enough, their shapes are bizarre too: some look like castles, others like cones, towers, birds
or beasts (the only limit is your imagination!) scattered amid impossibly steep, impossibly smooth, hundreds-of-metres-tall slopes. A number of viewing platforms are dotted around the park, the first just 10 minutes from the entrance. Others involve a bit more of a climb to get to (a bus also connects some), but are worth it for the photo opp – particularly if you’re visiting just after a rainfall, when the colours are at their most vivid. Do it: Entrance fee is 40 RMB. There are no luxury hotel options near the park, but the Liangmao Hotel in Zhangye provides comfortable, reasonably priced accommodation.

若您那天在400平方公里大 的张掖丹霞地貌的中心醒过 来，却以为自己是在另外一个星 球上，那是完全可以理解的。因 为这个位于中国中北部甘肃省的 张掖丹霞拥有与众不同的地貌。 红砂岩山丘上的横向彩条带，由 红、黄、橙、绿、蓝、白等丰富 的色彩交织再一起，把山丘装点 得绚丽多姿。它们的造型奇特， 有些像城堡，有的是圆锥体、塔 形、鸟状或野兽状的（运用您的
想像力！），而且有的是非常陡 峭，有的却非常光滑，还有些是 个几百米高的山坡。这里有几个观 景台，第一个就在距离入口处十分 钟的路程，其他的需要爬到山坡上 （有些提供巴士服务）。登上观景 台是拍摄的好地方，特别是在下雨 过后，山坡上的颜色更为鲜艳。 出行资料：入场费是40块人民 币。地貌公园附近没有豪华酒店， 不过位于张掖的粮贸宾馆提供舒适 并且价格合理的住宿服务。

SHOP SHAPE New York, Paris, Milan, Hong Kong, London? Forget it – Beijing is gearing up to become the world’s new shopping capital. Alicia Miller checks out what’s in store…
F
rom the centuries-old, graceful columns of the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace to the skyscraping glitter of the CBD and the quirky design studios of 798 Art Zone, Beijing is truly a city of both old and new. So it’s little wonder that alongside the ancient tradition of street markets – Bohemianfavourite Nanluoguxiang, antiquestrewn Panjiayuan, and food favourite (fried scorpion, anyone?) Wangfujing, to name but a few – this is also a capital where you’ll find the art of ‘buying stuff’ thriving in the most modern of forms. Shopping in Beijing is no longer about stock-
standard malls filled with mass-market stores. These plazas have evolved into modern entertainment, eating and cultural hubs where well-heeled locals and visitors flock to do more than just bag the latest in Louis Vuitton or Burberry. Welcome to the birth of the Beijing mega-malls: they aren’t just (very) big, they’re also providing an unparalleled experience in luxury quite unlike anything this city has seen before.
A NEW BREED The Chinese taste for top-end goods is nothing new – any global designer brand with half a brain has long had outposts in Beijing and Shanghai. But the barometer for luxury has moved on from just the acquisition of ‘nice stuff.’ Modern Chinese consumers don’t only want the likes of Chanel, Prada and Ferragamo at their fingertips, they also want a ramped-up shopping ‘experience’ to go with it – because why shouldn’t the act of spending be as ritzy as whatever it is you’re going to buy? Beijing’s new mega-malls set the scene perfectly: built to
Shop, play, sleep TAIKOO LI SANLITUN (LEFT), in88 ’S FUN DISPLAY (ABOVE), AND in01’S PARK HYATT

impress, they are temples dedicated to the depletion of one’s bank account, as vast and glittering as modern-day Forbidden Cities. The 249.9m-tall tower marking the location of in01 Beijing Yintai Centre in CBD, for example, is like a slender glass beacon for shoppers. At in88 in Wangfujing, imposing blue glass ripples like a wave across the eye-catching exterior. Meanwhile, Chaoyang’s Taikoo Li Sanlitun is exactly as the name suggests – not just a single ‘mall’, but an entire two-part district of 19 gleaming buildings filled with just about everything under the sun. The latest attention-grabbing addition to the bunch has to be Parkview Green, a multi-purpose (shopping, sleeping, entertainment and eating!) ‘quarter’ in Chaoyang. Consisting of four towers – two ninestoried, two 18-storied – encased in a transparent envelope of glass, it’s a get-away-from-the-elements bubble that is as spectacular as it is practical: visitors can enjoy the benefit of natural light without painful fluctuations in seasonal climes or
“ S H O P P I N G I S R E A L LY O N LY T H E S TA R T. T H E R E ’ S A W H O L E E X T R A LEVEL OF HEDONISM HERE” the effects of smog. It also happens to be Beijing’s first sustainable project of this scale, having achieved the illustrious LEED platinum certification. All that glimmering glass and riveting right angles would seem to have served a purpose.
INNER PURPOSE These mega-malls do more than just look good. Get beyond the flashy outer shells and you’ll see they’re also breaking convention indoors. Of course, they have all the superluxe shops you’d expect – the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Louboutin, Alexander McQueen and Versace, along with jewellery brands like Cartier or Swarovski, are in no measly supply – but shopping is really only the start. There’s a whole extra level of hedonism here: at Parkview Green you can get your hair done at London brand Toni & Guy, order a bouquet of fresh flowers
for loved ones at Fantastic Floral, or catch a show at plush Lumiere Cinema. At Seasons Place you can easily spend a morning – or a day – getting pampered at one of five on-site spas; spend enough to earn yourself a Seasons membership card and you’ll benefit from exclusive offers and services including access to a VIP lounge with bountiful free food and drink. That’s not all. Moving towards the realm of museums or art galleries, these mega-malls promise cultural enrichment too. At Parkview Green, take a break from perusing the latest collections from Mulberry or Pierre Balmain to explore the mall’s inhouse exhibits, which promote the work of emerging artists; at Taikoo Li Sanlitun, join one of the frequent neon-light-studded festivals and events ranging from New Year’s dragon dancing to fashion festivals. Mind you, at Taikoo Li Sanlitun you can also hit

ALL SHOPPED OUT Too much excitement for one day? You can choose to stay the night – nearly all these mega-malls incorporate topend hotels. At Seasons Place you’ll find the Ritz-Carlton and at in01 Yintai the Park Hyatt, while both Parkview Green and Taikoo Li Sanlitun boast stylish boutique options. At the former, the 100-room Eclat Hotel is moody and adult – the lobby is all dark, masculine tones, and rooms show playful hints of brightness contrasted with clean whites. Over at Taikoo Li Sanlitun, the Opposite House is one of Beijing’s most lusted-after boutique hotels, a vision in natural, understated tones; the look as a whole oozes minimalism and sophistication. You can’t help but feel calm and relaxed there, no matter how intensive your day at the designer outlets has been. But what’s the use of great services, entertainment or places to crash if you
can’t get a decent bite to eat? And here comes the death knell for the standard food court: Beijing’s new mega-malls have also become dining destinations in their own right. At Seasons Place, visitors can pick from nine different restaurants, each of them polished with a sleek, fashionable, fine-dining look – no sloppy burgers or dirty dining trays here. Meanwhile the Park Hyatt at in01 doubles as a top place to chow down; its China Grill, with 360-degree views around Beijing’s glittering skyline, contains some of the most coveted tables around. You’ll need a serious appetite to handle the offering at Taikoo Li Sanlitun – there are a whopping 54 eating options, spanning from quick fixes like Starbucks or Pizza Express to a range of Asian-inflected restaurants including Haru (a Japanese teppanyaki and sushi bar) and a restaurant specialising in hot-pot cuisine. Comparatively, Parkview Green might only be able to claim a dozen offerings, but almost are all aimed at a finer – and famed – level of dining. There’s Du Hsiao Yueh, an outpost of a
popular 30-year-old noodle restaurant, and My Humble House, serving up ‘new Chinese cuisine’ in the same vein as its celebrated original in Singapore. Keeping with the trend, hungry shoppers will also find a branch of Hakata Ikkousha, a Japanese ramen shop that has won numerous prizes for its exceptional-quality porky broth and silky noodles. There’s little you won’t find in Beijing’s glossy new mega-malls. But the best bit about them is that – geographically, anyway – they’re brilliantly accessible. In a rapidly changing capital, buildings of this scale and creativity within the city centre remain a real possibility – a case that doesn’t exist in many of the larger hubs in Europe or the US, where bigger projects are typically forced into difficult-to-reach suburbs. Embrace it: pick up your Prada in the sumptuous environs of in88 and nibble your way through the traditional night market at next door’s long-standing Wangfujing. As we’ve said, Beijing does old-with-new very, very well. ◆

iaget is no stranger to pushing boundaries. Since the company’s inception, it has made a habit of achieving what was often thought impossible, making some of the thinnest complications of their time and breaking all sorts of records along the way. Its relatively recent jewellery designs have been no different. From roseenclosed watches to exquisitely rare diamant haute joaillerie pieces, creativity and modernity

Its motto from day one has been 为座右铭，这种精神在 ‘always do better than necessary’, and it’s what 每一个系列当中发挥的 resonates throughout its collections. 淋漓尽致。伯爵从创始人 From the beginning, Piaget has sought to constantly improve its brand. This began with the founder himself, Georges Edouard Piaget. It was in La Cote-aux-Fees – a quaint village in the Swiss part of the Jura – that Georges sketched the first strokes of what decades later was to become an inimitable signature in the world of luxury and fine watchmaking.

Mark Webber We chat to Formula 1 driver and Chopard’s new ambassador, Mark Webber, about a few of his favourite things – cars, watches and his pet dogs... 我们跟一级方程式赛车手兼萧邦新任品牌大使Mark Webber畅谈 他最喜爱的几样东西——名车、腕表以及他的宠物狗 Are you a watch lover? I wouldn't claim to be a great connoisseur but I do like a fine watch that combines reliability with a timeless classic look. Chopard watches match my tastes perfectly and the Superfast collection combines all the qualities I see as essential: high-tech and daring but subtle lines. They seem to capture the true essence of racing.

您是个爱表之人吗？ 我不会说自己是个很专业的内行人，可是我喜欢性能可靠稳 定以及拥有经典外观的高质腕表。萧邦的腕表完全符合我的 口味，其Superfast系列拥有一切我看重的元素：高科技和大 胆却细致的线条，捕捉了赛车的精萃。
What's your motto? Be consistent and be true to yourself. Treat others the way you want to be treated. And because I never know what's around the next corner in life, make the most of every moment.
您的座右铭是什么？ 保持一致并且对自己真诚。己所不欲，物施于人。而且生活中 我不知道下一秒会发生什么事情，所以我会更加善用每一分每 一秒。
For what activity can you always spare 10 minutes? I can always find 10 minutes to play with my dogs, whom I adore.
什么活动让您愿意花十分钟的时间？ 比如做伸展活动或瑜伽！这两件事情是我应该定时进行的，可是说实话， 我觉得它们很沉闷而且毫无刺激感，所以我经常找理由推搪不做。
Which track is your favourite I particularly like Silverstone, because it's a very demanding track that covers the complete range of speeds. Suzuka is another one of my favourites. Its narrow track is one of the most difficult in Formula 1.
您最喜欢哪条赛道？ 我特别喜欢银石赛道，因为它是一条非常具挑 战性的赛道，要求赛手以各种的车速进行。另外 一个我十分喜欢的是铃鹿赛道，其狭窄的车道 是一级方程式赛事中难道最高的。要在这里完 成完美的一圈是非常有难度的。 Mark Webber is wearing the Superfast Chrono $39,510, chopard.com 萧邦Superfast系列腕表$39,510
