在

国的夏季，您有许多地方可以去。海南岛就是一个不错的选择。 一望无际的海滩，林立的五星级别墅（第54-63页)，您会在宁 静的水疗和果味鸡尾酒中迷失自己。不幸的是，并不是所有人都能 抽出时间来到岛上度假。但是在首都北京，还是有办法来“清凉一 夏”的。您可以在北京的湖边悠闲的散步，或逛逛恭王府（第72-78 页）。如果身在上海，您可以一头扎进酒店，一边细细品味精致的午 餐，一边享受空调带来的凉爽与惬意（第116-123页）。如果天气不 错，为什么不去探索一下不断变化的成都呢？从传统庙宇到新艺术 社区（第108-114页），这座迷人的城市永远不会让您感到乏味。

T

here’s so much to enjoy during the summer months in China, and Hainan Island is the place to be. Boasting long stretches of beaches paired with five-star villas (pages 54-63), you’ll lose yourself in tranquil spa treatments and fruit-filled cocktails.

Unfortunately, not all of us can afford to spare the time for an island getaway, but there are still ways to cool off in the capital cities. Enjoy leisurely lakeside walks in Beijing, or a trip to Prince Gong’s mansion (pages 72-78). Escape the heat in Shanghai by ducking into a hotel for a long lunch where the food is exquisite and, as an added bonus, the air conditioner is blasting (pages 116-123). Or with the perfect weather, why not explore Chengdu’s changing cityscape? From traditional temples to upcoming art galleries (pages 108-114), there’s always something to do in this fascinating city.

在中国，海南岛是夏天的代名词。在这里，您可以找到完 美假期的所有要素——蓝色的海水、婆娑的棕榈树和一 望无际的海滩。这里拥有奢华的五星级度假胜地，堪称富 裕阶层的乐园, 东航每天都有数个航班送您前往。本期我们很高兴为 您介绍其中最受欢迎的十大度假胜地（第54-63页）。如果您持有澳 大利亚或新西兰护照在上海转机，有了144小时的中转免签政策，为 什么不到上海停留一下、去五星级餐厅寻觅美食(第116-123页），这些 餐厅将为您带来绝伦的美食体验。如果您更喜欢吃甜食，悉尼的下午 茶肯定能够让您颇为满足，进来看看我们为您精心挑选的悉尼最好 的西式下午茶吧（第64-71页）。善待自己，享受生活……

I

n China, Hainan Island is synonymous with summer. It has all the makings of the perfect getaway: blue waters, palm trees and long stretches of beach. But it’s the flashy five-star resorts that make it a playground for the well-to-do. China Eastern flights would be happy to take you to visit 10 of our favourites in this issue (pages 54-63).

If you have 144 hours visa-free while transiting via Shanghai to a third country, take a break at one of its five-star hotels – not for a power nap in their suites, but rather to visit their restaurants (pages 116-123). You’ll be pleasantly surprised by how these restaurants are stepping up their game. And if your sweet tooth is craving more, Sydney’s high tea scene will surely satisfy. We’ve tested the best the city has to offer (pages 64-71). Treat yourself...

They say he has inspired an estimated 40 million Chinese children to take up the piano, and this June, Lang Lang graces the stage of Sydney...

Opera House’s Concert Hall.

Performing Tchaikovsky’s Seasons, JS Bach’s Italian Concerto and his beloved Chopin Scherzos, this is an event not to miss. “Tchaikovsky’s Seasons are pieces of music I love – 12 pieces full of colour and emotion,” Lang Lang says. “I used to play the Barcarolle, representing the month of June, several years ago. Later, I started playing all the pieces, and I always find great satisfaction in them. I had recently played Tchaikovsky’s Seasons at Versailles, in the Hall of Mirrors. I’m so happy to be playing them again for Sydney.” June 8, 10 and 11, sydneyoperahouse.com 郎朗将演奏 柴可夫 斯基（ TCH A I KOVS K Y ）的 《四 季 》（S E A S O N S）、巴 赫（J S B A C H）的 《意 大利 协 奏曲》（I TA L I A N CO N C E R TO） 以 及 郎 朗 自 己 非 常 喜 爱 的《 肖 邦 谐 虐 曲 》 （CHOPINSCHERZOS），精彩不容错过。“柴 可夫斯基的《四季》是我很喜欢的组曲，12首小 曲充满了色彩和情感，”郎朗说， “几年前我曾经 演奏过《六月·船 歌》（BARCAROLLE）。后来 我开始演奏所有小曲，演奏总会给我带来极大的 满足感。我最近刚在凡尔赛宫（VERSAILLES） 镜厅（HALL OF MIRRORS）演奏了柴可夫斯基 的《四季》，我很高兴能够 在悉尼再次演奏。” 活动日期：6月8日、10日和11日。

Social ladder Most art galleries have security guards monitoring exhibition spaces to ensure visitors don’t touch any of the invaluable works hanging on the walls.

Artist Yoko Ono has a different idea. Instead, Ono encourages her audience to engage with her work.

At her latest exhibition at Faurschou Foundation Beijing, Ono invites viewers to bring their own gold-coloured ladders of any size, shape or material to join the installation Golden Ladders. A variety of Ono’s work is on show. Till July 3, faurschou.com

Romance reborn

Fantastic four

In 1836, La Sylphide revolutionised ballet, popularising dancing en pointe and giving audiences their first glimpse of the Romantic ballerina – unattainable and unearthly. Choreographed by the late George Balanchine, the work features a cast of principle dancers, soloists and corps dancers, but also demonstrates Balanchine’s unique ability to toy with music so you sense the modernity of the 20th century. June 18-19, chncpa.org

Fair play Eliza Doolittle’s enviable charm will be brought to life in China, for the first time, with My Fair Lady touring in June. Beijing’s Tianqiao Performing Arts Center will host the production composed by Frederick Loewe and written by Alan Jay Lerner.

Jinan

1 Daming Lake

On its surface, the city of Jinan is in flux, but beneath the modernised buildings are 72 artesian springs that gently roil in azure pools and flow steadily into Daming Lake...

2 Thousand Buddha Mountain

IN EIGHT STOPS

All the water eventually flows into Daming Lake, the largest park in the city with boat rides, paddle boats, temples, bridges, and little islands to explore. In the summer, lotuses bloom in pink and white.

The Buddhas carved into this mountain date back to the Sui dynasty (581-618).

The oldest are at Xinguochan Temple, the golden-roofed complex near the cable car and luge drop-off on the mountaintop.

3 Wangfu Pool In a quiet alleyway off busy, walking street Furong Jie (turn right at the police stand), the neighbourhood comes to bathe and soak in this spring-fed pool. It’s a brisk 18 degrees Celsius year-round.

4 Five Dragon Pool These waters swirl up from the deepest depths of all the springs in the city to fill blue-green pools teeming with lucky carp. The park is a serene study of local life, where elders paint calligraphy on the steps and kids chase the goldfish.

5 Great Southern Mosque Jinan’s oldest mosque has stood in the centre of town since 1295. You must cover arms and remove hats before entering.

6 Huancheng Park This park on the Huancheng River is built around Black Tiger Spring, which empties into the old city moat through three stone tiger heads. It gets its name from the sound of the roaring water as it rushed over a tiger-shaped stone, long gone but immortalised in Ming Dynasty poetry.

Daming Lake Park

7 Lingyan Temple A Buddhist temple located in Changqing District, about 20km north of the city of Tai’an. The temple grounds are situated in a valley on the western edge of the Taishan range.

8 Four Gates Pagoda

点心风暴

Restaurant opening

Baking up a storm It was only last year that Tim Ho Wan landed in Sydney, with restaurants in Chatswood and Burwood. Now it opens its doors to a population that knows a good dumpling from a bad one: Melburnians...

Melbourne welcomes its first Tim Ho Wan. Billed as the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in the world, the international yum cha franchise has more than 20 stores across Asia and Australia. Landing its first venue Down Under in Sydney in 2015, Tim Ho Wan has now opened in Melbourne, at the eastern edge of Chinatown.

Unfortunately, Tim Ho Wan doesn’t take bookings, which means that, as you’d expect, there are lengthy queues for their signature pork buns. Chef Mak Kwai Pui says what sets his buns apart from the rest in how they are cooked – baked, not steamed.

“This type of BBQ bun tastes better than the traditional steam ones, but it requires more skill and is harder to prefect. With that extra bit of flavour, it doesn’t surprise me that this has become what we are known for.” timhowan.com.au

What will you see in Sanya that you won’t see anywhere else?

Traced back to thousands of years ago, Li and Miao minority people were the first inhabitants of Hainan.

You’ll be able to distinguish members of the tribe by tattoos on their faces and bodies, especially with women. This ancient practice was a way for members to pledge their allegiance to their faith. Today, only a few elderly women have stuck closely to the custom and kept their traditions alive with tattoos.

The Hainan Binglanggu (Betelnut Valley) Li & Miao Cultural Heritage Park is situated in the Ganzaling nature preservation area between Sanya City and Baoting County. The valley covers about 333 hectares and earns its name from the original local ethnic minority villages and the countless betel trees that extend along the valley. It consists of four major parts: the original Li ethnic minority village, the cultural heritage village, the primitive Miao ethnic minority village and the Charm of Li & Miao Cultures – a live show of the cultures of the Li and Miao people.

THE BIG AND BEAUTIFUL ONE...

PARK HYATT SANYA SUNNY BAY RESORT The Park Hyatt (left) shows you don’t need bells and whistles to make an impact.

Despite the fact it’s a large, ultra-modern resort – very large, in fact, as it sprawls across a 350,000-square-metre private inlet, complete with internal lake – it somehow seems almost organic amid its landscape. Perhaps it’s the natural woods throughout, or the way the green hills wrap around the buildings, or the pools dotted around the property. On the inside, dramatic lighting, bold reds and smooth lines are strikingly contemporary; but when it comes to relaxing outside,

the pursuits are reassuringly oldschool. Swimming, kayaking, hiking and snorkelling in top-notch dive spot Baifu Bay are all on the cards. Really want to enjoy the simple pleasures? Join a stargazing class and see even the biggest resorts can feel dwarfed by the vastness of the twinkling skies.

（面积很大，350,000平方米的海湾由内陆 湖泊明丽点缀），但似乎与其周边景色浑然 天成，毫无违和感，或许是因为随处可见的 天然森林，又或许是房屋建筑被青山茂林所 环绕，也可能是因为点缀其中的游泳池。酒 店内部，令人印象深刻的照明效果、大胆运 用的红色和流畅的线条，有着强烈的现代气 息；但是当您去到户外放松心情，有着传统 韵味的活动可以让您安心享受——游泳、划 独木舟、徒步旅行以及在百福湾顶级的潜水 点浮潜，都是不错的选择。只是想享受简单 的快乐？加入夜晚观星活动吧，您会发现即 使是最大的度假酒店在浩瀚无垠的星空面 前也会相形见绌。

THE UBER-LUXE ONE...

CONRAD SANYA HAITANG BAY Should you be someone who sees a private plunge pool as a necessity, not a luxury, this is the Hainan hotel for you. At the Conrad you don’t need to plump for top-tier rooms to get your own splash zone, you can bag one even with the otherwise-standard twin or king categories. With views over palms and out to the surf, it’s little wonder many guests don’t ever feel like budging from their creamy-hued rooms. And yet, with so much else to soak up in this glam hotel, staying still is unthinkable. At the very least you must see the island’s sights the Conrad

way, via a privately hired Bentley, play games in the arcade, or paddle around the spectacular Chinese Zodiac Pool. Top off your day with a sumptuous meal at opulent La Chine restaurant, where local dishes are raised to drool-worthy standards.

THE ULTRA-RELAXING ONE...

MANDARIN ORIENTAL SANYA Curving gently along a quiet, creamy crescent of beach, ridged by emeraldswathed mountains, Mandarin Oriental has everything you want in a beach resort. It’s stylish, but not over-fussed as a laid-back vibe pervades, from the hammocks slung between palm trees ( just the place for a lazy afternoon nap) to the casual beachy eateries ( just the place for a lazy afternoon chat). As you’d expect with Mandarin Oriental, service is top-notch but never invasive, so you can eat dinner to the crash of waves or sip cocktails by the pool without ever feeling smothered. Dining options go above and beyond too, with a dedicated tea house, Phoenix, boasting over 100 tea options.

Though, some may prefer a visit to bar Mo Blues where the 100 tea varieties are swapped for the same number of malt whiskies and wines.

THE EPIC SPA ONE... ANANTARA SANYA As if the palm-flecked grounds and yawning ocean views weren’t relaxing enough, Anantara takes unwinding in style to a whole level with its world-class spa. No dingy token massage rooms here, rather it’s a grand complex of understated, pared-back-luxe natural fabrics, flooded with natural light. In cocoonlike treatment rooms you can have your body rubbed with crushed pearls from the South China Sea (it’s been royalty’s secret weapon for turning back the clock for millennia), while a ‘dusk relaxation’ treatment,which uses Taoist ‘yin’ force for inspiration, is so shoulder-unclenching

58

that you’ll feel transformed into a ball of jelly, good for little more than lounging around a pool. But then again, that’s hardly a problem. Anantara’s frondfringed version, lined with stretch-out day beds, is definitely worthy of your rapt attention. As is that ocean view, it’s a good thing you can lap it up from every single one of the bedrooms.

THE CITY-SWISH ONE... INTERCONTINENTAL SANYA RESORT For those well-heeled Shanghai or Beijing residents who need a break but just can’t quite bear to leave the swish modern glamour of their cities behind, InterContinental is just the medicine.

It has all the dramatic interiors of a classy downtown pad: monochrome tones, clean lines, and chic communal spaces that are just as suited for gossiping over cocktails with friends as they are to zen-ified tropical relaxation. Lines blur between indoor and outdoor spaces, while bedrooms come with all the contemporary cool

you’d expect to see in a city apartment.

But, thankfully, no matter how much urban comfort is injected, upon waking each morning it won’t be a patchwork of skyscrapers you see – rather it’s that holiday-perfect, beachy Hainan view.

To match the resort’s swish style, the dining options include a beer factory, sea pavilion and Asian village.

THE GOLFER’S ONE...

RAFFLES HAINAN It’s not everyday you find Balinesestyle charm tucked among world-class golf facilities, but Raffles Hainan is an exception. Nestled against the sprawl of breezy, teaky wood buildings designed to evoke the chilled-out-chic vibe for which the Indonesian holiday isle is famous, you’ll find the two championship courses at the Clearwater Golf Club. There are enough pristine stretches of fairway and deep bunkers here to keep even the most enthusiastic putters engaged, if they don’t find the glittering of that knock-out seascape background too distracting, that is. Back at the hotel, bedrooms are practically big enough to practise your

swing in, too. The largest in Hainan, the rooms come decorated in Balinese tones or motifs of Asian ethnic hill tribes. While sipping a sunset Singapore Sling is an essential part of any visit, no keen golfer should miss a visit to the swish modern spa, where a four-hand Nirvana massage is guaranteed to unset any knots gained on, or off, the golf course.

THE ST. REGIS SANYA YALONG BAY RESORT If you prefer to not just gaze at the sea but arrive by it too, St Regis Sanya is more than happy to help. Next door to the Yalong Bay Yacht Club, where 150 berths are available for parking all manner of big boats, guests at the hotel also have the option to arrive by yacht. If there is a better way to kick off a seaside holiday, we don’t know what it is. With two grand pools to greet you, surrounded by tropical plants and a cascading waterfall, you’ll almost feel 60

like sailing straight onto the property grounds. Besides yachts, the other thing this hotel does ship-shape is family fun – there’s a kids’ club, tennis courts, a great beach, endless activities and, crucially, an on-site nanny and babysitting service for when mum and dad need time to chill.

THE WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE ONE...

THE ROYAL BEGONIA, A LUXURY COLLECTION RESORT The pool at The Royal Begonia isn’t really a pool. It’s more like an estuary, where the islands are flecked with secluded pool loungers, only reachable by swimming. Once you climb aboard, you can laze unharassed like a king or queen, untouchable by the other guests.

And as it’s a giant, at nearly 1,000 square metres, you’d almost need not bother with the hotel’s second lap pool, if it weren’t for the fact that it’s right next to the Royal Begonia’s private stretch of icing-sugar beach. The rooms, too, in this pinky Spanish-villa-inspired resort favour water. Floor-to-ceiling windows and classy, neutral-hued furnishings make the azure blues of the South China Sea really pop. Even the Mediterranean-tiled stand-alone spa, which is fragranced with the heady aromatics of Aromatherapy Associates products and comes complete with luxury foot massage lounge, overlooks the ornate garden fountain. Yet thankfully, the open-air lobby lounge, while it does have a fine view of the bay, is about more than water. Instead, it’s all about boozy Hainan Iced Teas….

T

he clink of a tea cup and the tinkle of fine china – the Shangri-La Sydney’s lobby bar is quiet in the way all elegant five-star lobbies are quiet. Every once in a while, however, that elegance is momentarily interrupted by a squeal of delight. Like a rock star belting out a chorus, Anna Polyviou’s spiky fruit domes and perky profiteroles are bursts of energy that will have you jumping in your seat and leave your senses zinging.

Sydney’s coolest executive pastry chef is making her mark on the traditional high tea, and she has attracted thousands of loyal followers along the way.

These followers fly in from all over the country to sample her tasty treats. They’re lining up to try a carrot cake (so complex it made headlines when it caught MasterChef Australia contestants off guard) that has guests booking weeks in advance to sit down at specialedition high teas like ‘All the Single Ladies’, a recent Valentine’s Day special for those not-so-lucky in love.

Suddenly, in Sydney, high tea is very, very cool again. >

“Dessert creation has to showcase skill. It has to be visually appealing as well as tasty” With her bleached Mohawk expertly styled and face piercing shining, Polyviou is perhaps not the obvious choice for executive pastry chef of a luxury hotel’s kitchens, but she’s part of Shangri-La’s quest to be at the forefront of the culinary scene. Nowhere else is this more obvious than in the three-tiered high-tea stand that makes its way over – goodbye cucumber sandwiches, hello mini Vietnamese pork rolls. The grease paper wrapper is a nice touch.

Yes, there are still crustless sandwiches, but they’re variations on the theme – think salmon and cucumber or caramelised onion and goat cheese. Scones are filled with raisins soaked in Earl Grey tea, and the thimblesized brownie comes with a waiter’s warning: it’s rich, so take it a nibble at a time. For Polyviou, the dessert is the most important tier: “Dessert creation has to showcase skill. It has to be visually appealing and tasty. It takes days to prepare just one high-tea tier because each dessert is made up of so many different components.”

Polyviou keeps her team busy with every element of the high tea made in-house, from the jam to the bread rolls. Even the honey spooned into your chai tea has come from the hotel’s rooftop beehives. “A lot of venues bring in elements from outside bakeries. At the ShangriLa we’re taking high tea to a different level. Everything needs to balance – from flavour to shape,” she says.

High tea at this hotel is not just for ladies who lunch. The seats are filled every day of the week with serious foodies carrying DSLR cameras, families taking children out for a special treat, couples celebrating anniversaries, even business meetings. With her highly technical yet personable approach to food, Polyviou is bringing high tea to the people.

An eye on tradition

But if a bright purple cassis mousse covered in meringue spikes doesn’t gel with your idea of high tea, don’t despair – The Tea Room QVB is upholding tradition with aplomb. On the top floor of the Queen Victoria Building in

Sydney’s CBD, in what was once the Grand Ballroom, the time-honoured tradition of afternoon tea is taken very seriously. Under glittering glass chandeliers, white linen tables are laid with Royal Doulton china, silver tea pots, mini sugar cube pots and petite milk jugs.

Walking into The Tea Room at QVB you’ll be transported to a time of petticoats, corsets and laced umbrellas. The eloquent room epitomises old-world glamour, filled with plush armchairs, giant floral displays and the clink of French champagne flutes being raised across the room.

The space reflects London’s glamorous tea rooms at The Ritz, Claridge’s and Harrods. The three-tiered tea stand is elegantly stacked with sweet treats – bite-sized raspberry ripple cheesecakes, hazelnut mille-feuille, little lemon cupcakes and gorgeous passion fruit macarons deserve time to peruse. Gigantic scones are served separate to the tea stand, with equally enormous saucers of jam and fresh cream, and are almost a meal unto themselves. Harking back to its days as a ballroom, the space is booked out months in advance for weddings, baby showers and extra-special birthdays.

east that was owned by politician and lawyer William Charles Wentworth. He bought the original cottage in 1827 and spent several years expanding it to the sprawling estate that still stands today, including stables, gardens and the tea rooms. It’s now managed by Sydney Living Museums and celebrated a century as a museum last year.

In the early 1900s, afternoon tea took place in the ‘little tea room’, the drawing room reserved for more formal occasions. From as early as 1923, the adjacent building served as tea rooms, providing refreshment for visitors to nearby Neilson Park and Parsley Bay. Funds from the teas went towards restoring the property.

These days the cafe’s delicate tables and wroughtiron chairs are filled year-round with parties enjoying the historic setting. The cafe offers a pleasant spot to sit out on the terrace overlooking manicured grounds.

The menu, by Fresh Catering, showcases a delicate array of international savouries and sweets – salmon blinis, brioche apple and cinnamon doughnuts, and salted caramel profiteroles are just a few of the treats best sampled slowly on a sunny day. Artisan loose leaf tea from Tippity Tea Sydney emphasises the strong local connection.

Kitchen. Redefining time-honoured traditions by turning to raw food – a craze-of-the-moment in Sydney – the kitchen’s completely plant-based pantry of ingredients are prepared without ever exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. It’s a technique that leaves natural enzymes untouched and eases digestion.

Gluten, dairy and refined sugar free, the array of cakes, slices, scones and ‘sandwiches’ that arrive on the brightly patterned tea stand are just as colourful as their cooked counterparts. Start with savoury cucumber ‘rools’ – thin slices of cucumber wrapped around fresh veggies – and carrot falafels, before moving on to sweets.

Bright raspberry and chia seed jam sits with cashew ‘creme’ atop coconut, cashew and vanilla scones; an oozing chocolate banoffee ‘cheese cake’ slice has a date base and a carob cream mousse; and the attentiongrabbingly named ‘better than Tim Tams’ are a healthy take on the famous Australian chocolate biscuit. The entire three-tier stand is dotted with edible flowers – grab a superfood smoothie served in a mason jar or a hand-blended organic tea. Coconut or almond milk are dairy alternatives for your drinks, of course.

While traditions can be given makeovers and can be made to adapt to the modern-day world, there’s a reason the practice of high tea has withstood the test of time. After all, who doesn’t want to spend an hour in the afternoon refuelling on delectable, bite-size treats and a cup of tea?

GRAND DESIGNS Exploring Beijing’s extravagantly built ancient mansions is the best way to unravel many of the city’s old tales, reckons Constantina Pilatos

eijing is a city bursting with 21.5 million people, gleaming architectural marvels, and cars – lots of cars. At first glance, it’s not unlike many other modern capital cities found around the world. Our tour guide for the day, Liu Zhi Gang, insists we’d be wrong for thinking so.

“Beijing has over 3,000 years of history,” Zhi Gang says. “You may look around and see that everything is modern, yet at the centre of this city is a past that is carefully preserved.” And what Zhi Gang says is quite literal. At the geographical centre of China’s capital is the Forbidden City, which was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty through to the end of the Qing dynasty – 1420 to 1912. The Forbidden City is on the top of the bucket list for many tourists travelling to China, pulling more than 14 million visitors per year, but Zhi Gang says there’s another spot where travellers can get an insight into China’s ancient times.

To transport tourists back to old-world China, Zhi Gang takes his groups to the neighbouring site, Prince Gong’s Mansion. Here, Zhi Gang says, you can explore every inch of the site more slowly – without the crowds – just like during ancient times, when life moved at a much more sedate pace.

FOOT TRAFFIC

It’s striking how quickly the cityscape changes from main roads – towered by buildings whose tops you can’t quite see from ground level – to pebbled hutongs (narrow lanes), where dwellings don’t reach over one storey high. Walls are covered with overgrown vines, trees hang over the streets, and as a ‘no-car zone’, rickshaws and bikes replace automobiles. But most people just prefer to explore the area by foot.

“The Chinese government has specially set out to preserve one of the last surviving prince mansions and the surrounding hutong areas of those mansions,” says Zhi Gang. “From the hundred-odd mansions that used to exist, today only 10 are left, and Prince Gong’s Mansion is the best-preserved. It only recently reopened its gates to the public, back in 2008.”

Prince Gong’s Mansion may be a rarity in today’s day and age, but as Zhi Gang pointed out, back in 1815 there were more than 100 spread throughout Beijing,

surrounding the Forbidden City. Emperors of the Qing dynasty built these mansions for each of their sons and highly respected dignitaries. The larger the mansion, the more respected and established the person was considered to be.

When it comes to visiting the mansion, hiring a guide is highly recommended. The first struggle you’ll have to overcome on your own is navigating your way through the maze-like, no-wider-than-nine-foot hutongs in order to reach the entry to the grounds.

Secondly, you’ll want to know all the old-world stories and secrets the mansion holds – the ones you won’t find in any guide book. These stories have been passed down from generation to generation, and it’s best to hear them from a local.

THE RISE AND FALL OF HESHEN

The first tale to tell is of how it became Prince Gong’s Mansion in the first place. It was initially built for

Heshen in 1777. The biggest giveaway that Heshen was someone of high status is how large the grounds are; the mansion as a whole covers 60,000 square metres and is divided in two parts: the living quarters and the garden.

“When the boys were 16 to 17 years old the Emperor would consider them as adults and build them their own mansion to live in,” explains Zhi Gang. “The size of the mansion didn’t depend on if they were the eldest or youngest child, but rather on their rank.

These mansions would also be built for people with great importance in society.”

Not a son but rather a member of the imperial guard, the handsome and intelligent 25-year-old Heshen soon came to the attention of Qing dynasty Emperor Qianlong (1736-1796). Before long, Heshen was promoted to positions normally occupied by the most experienced officials, including those controlling finance and the appointment of civil servants, thus enabling him to acquire great wealth. >

He was, however, known to be a very unkind fellow.

The ageing Qinglong did nothing to curb Heshen’s dishonesty, but his successor, Emperor Jiaqing (17961820), had Heshen executed. His property, which was assessed at over 800 million ounces of silver, was confiscated. The mansion was passed to Prince Qing in 1799. Eventually Emperor Xianfeng (1851-1862) transferred the ownership to Prince Gong, and it is his name that would become that of the mansion.

ODD THINGS

While the mansion holds many tales, it’s also riddled with signs and symbols you may not pick up on without previous knowledge of Chinese history. You could, for instance, overlook that each set of stairs leading into the mansion grounds’ dwellings has only seven steps.

In Chinese culture, odd numbers are considered the most powerful; in the Forbidden City, just 2km away, stairs come in lots of nine, as it’s regarded as the most masculine number. A prince doesn’t quite measure up to an emperor, and hence the stairs in Prince Gong’s Mansion come in sevens: a number with similar meaning, but not so much importance.

Similarly, the Mansion’s Silver Hall is silver for a reason. The Forbidden City is home to a Gold Hall where the Emperor would conduct official meetings or assemblies. As silver isn’t as valuable as gold, the Prince’s mansion again comes off second best – but it remains equally as intriguing. In fact, you can step within the Silver Hall and explore the intricate detailing of the walls, whereas the Gold Hall is inaccessible in the Forbidden City. (Also take note of the seven steps you have to climb to enter the Silver Hall.)

The signs and symbols don’t stop there though – they transcend into the garden. The garden section of

the mansion was built purely for the enjoyment and entertainment of the owner; sprawling over one-third of the property, it’s truly enthralling. You’d think that, being in the third most populous city in the world, the sounds of the city would be inescapable; but this garden is a bubble of serenity. Cars beeping, scooters zooming past and general mayhem are replaced with the calming sounds of rustling trees and trickling waterfalls.

FUN AND GAMES

Opposite, left: Visitors enjoying a leisurely stroll through the mansion grounds Left: Many locals come to the mansion to unwind Above: Interiors of traditional Chinese architecture in Beihai Park

Throughout the garden you’ll also often come across the symbol for fu. This symbol represents the bat – and while that might not sound like the most peaceful animal, in Chinese, the sound of the symbol for bat is the same as that of happiness. As a result, the bat is often laden with similar associations. > 77

BEIJING HUTONG S

“Time is easily lost when exploring the mansion or just sitting in the garden letting the day unravel before you” There are also small pavilions where games were played, a sign that residents of the property were of substantial wealth. People that had time to play games instead of doing work were considered to be part of the upper-class.

Zhi Gang explains to us the rules of one of Heshen’s favourite games, which can be found in the Flowing Wine Cup Pavilion. Heshen would invite friends to sit around the edges of the pavilion. The ground of the pavilion had winding, man-made crevices. Water would be poured into the narrow gaps in the ground and a cup filled with Chinese wine would float on top of the water. A servant would then block one of the waterways and the wine cup would change direction.

Whomever’s feet the cup stopped at, that person would have to make up a poem on the spot; if it the poem wasn’t considered to be any good then they would have to sip the wine. They did this with other art forms, such as calligraphy and music, until the cup was empty.

Time is easily lost when exploring the mansion or just sitting in the garden letting the day unravel before you. It’s tranquil – something you might not expect to get from Beijing, but which you will heartily embrace.

If you’re short on time and want to cover most of the city’s hutong area, why not jump in a rickshaw? Let one of the locals pedal you through the narrow lanes and back streets of this historic area. We do warn you, these rides can be quite exhilarating. The only road rule that seems to apply within the hutongs is that there are no rules.

reamy beaches fit for a postcard. Towering hotels of polished concrete and glass boasting some of Australia’s best ocean views. A diverse range of shopping experiences spanning everything from lively outdoor malls to intimate luxury boutiques. And so many activities on offer it would be a challenge to even contemplate trying them all in one visit.

In juxtaposition, there’s the hinterland – a lush vastness of rainforests and home to Queensland’s oldest national park – and all this only 45 minutes’ drive away from the seaside. If there is one destination in Australia that has it all, it’s the almost-always-sunny Gold Coast.

The summers are spectacular, but winter is the best time to visit. The cooler months usually mean fewer people to share the beaches and forests with and more time experiencing everything the region has to offer.

LUXE STAYS

Deciding where to stay is one of the hardest decisions, with everything from plush suites overlooking iconic Surfers Paradise to secluded rainforest retreats or glitzy modern hotels. The best way to tackle the where-to-stay challenge is to try out a couple of places every time you visit.

The breathtaking skyline and buzzy atmosphere is one of the many reasons people choose to stay at Surfers Paradise. Over 40 percent of the Gold Coast’s accommodation is located here.

If you’re looking to mingle with the Gold Coast elite, then your first port of call should be QT Gold Coast.

still a talking point with travellers. Nic Graham, the brain behind the innovative design concept, used the 1950s and 1960s as stimulus for his refreshing design – and it’s all about quirky-cool fused with modern-luxe.

Explosions of bright colour in the form of contemporary artworks and attention-grabbing furnishings are part of the effect. There are plenty of patterns scattered throughout, and pieces, such as Eames-era chairs and artist-created feature walls, are all fun inclusions.

If something classic tickles your fancy, Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa is a luxury resort retreat amidst the buzz. All the rooms are exceptional, but for the utmost indulgence book a suite with Elandra Retreat Club access. The views from the 27th floor lounge are unsurpassed and breakfasts and evening canapes are part of the package. There’s really no better place to watch the sunrise, and days can be spent exploring the grounds or lazing about in the one of the hotel’s plush poolside cabins. You can even step out of your room and swim with tropical fish in the hotel’s saltwater lagoon.

If you’re an avid surfer and it’s all about waves, the Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort is the only five-star resort on the Gold Coast with direct beach access.

Perfectly positioned on Main Beach, the location is also ideal for families wanting to check out some of the theme parks around.

Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach is another chic choice for guests not wanting to stay at Surfers Paradise. Just five minutes walk from Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and linked to Oasis Shopping Centre, it’s an ideal place to stay if shopping is on the cards. > 如果您想会会黄金海岸的精英名流，那 么您的第一站便是QT黄金海岸酒店（QT Gold Coast）。这家于2011年开始营业 的酒店，其大胆而鲜亮的创新设计仍然为 游客们所津津乐道。设计师尼克·格雷厄 姆（Nic Graham）以二十世纪五、六十年 代为灵感来源，将新奇酷炫与现代奢华完 美结合，风格令人耳目一新。为了达到这种 效果，酒店中摆放的当代艺术品和夺人眼 球的家具陈设均采用明亮色调。而酒店里 随处可见的各种图案，以及Eames Era椅 和艺术景观墙面等，都让这里妙趣横生。 如果您更喜欢传 统的酒店，那么位于 闹市之中的豪华度假村 酒店滑浪 天 堂 万 豪度假酒店（Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa）是个不错的选择。所有的房 间都非常高雅舒适，不过如果您想来一场 终极放纵之旅，那就预订27层的Elandra 休闲俱乐部（Elandra Retreat Club）套 房吧。这里是看日出的绝佳地点，您可以在 起居室眺望到无与伦比的美景；此外，套房 套餐还包含早餐及晚餐开胃菜。 您可以花几天时间出去转转，也可以躲 在酒店豪华的池畔小屋里消闲，甚至还可 以走出房间，在酒店的咸水湖里与热带鱼 一起畅游。 冲浪 爱 好者不妨下榻黄金海岸蜃景 喜来登度假大酒店（Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort），因为它是黄金海岸上唯 > 83

But no visit to the Gold Coast is complete without a stop at Palazzo Versace, the glamour puss of hotels and certainly a must-see destination in itself.

The iconic hotel recently won the Leading Hotel Australasia award in the World Travel Awards, and it’s easy to see why. Gigantic gold columns, a shimmering pink marbled floor and a colossal crystal chandelier in the reception space; glitzy rooms fit out with elegant Italian furnishings; Versace trimmings any way you look – it’s an extravagant decadence and that’s exactly why you book here.

DIVINE EATS

New and battle-seasoned chefs are flocking to the Gold Coast to open their very own Next Big Thing. With an abundance of fresh seafood, organic meats and locally grown vegetables, you’ll be hard-pressed to not find something up your alley.

Some of the best restaurants and bars are located inside hotels, so it pays to stay somewhere where the food offerings entice… if you don’t want to walk very far that is.

At Palazzo Versace, Vanitas Restaurant has recently undergone an elegant refurbishment. Chef de Cuisine Dayan Hartill-Law (who refined his skills in the kitchens of three-hatted restaurant Quay in Sydney and twoMichelin-Star restaurant Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in London) brings his signature whimsical style to the table, focusing on a seasonal menu featuring the freshest local produce.

Earlier this year, Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach’s elegant restaurant, room81, was awarded two hats by the Australian Good Food Guide – it’s one of just a few two-hatted restaurants in the region. Head chef Sam Moore spotlights local produce, with multi-course degustations the star of the show.

For an entertaining teppanyaki experience, Misono Japanese Steakhouse at Surfers Paradise Marriott Resort & Spa can’t be missed. It’s Australia’s largest teppanyaki restaurant and highly recommended for group bookings.

Head chef Henry Bongay ensures customers enjoy a great meal with extra helpings of laughter (an insider tip – the deluxe wagyu banquet is a top choice).

Another great group option is QT’s Bazaar. The marketplace concept means people with differing palates always find something to suit, with a plethora of fresh salads, piping-hot dishes and seasonal specialties on offer.

Surfers Paradise is humming with energy day and night, and while the on-ground view is spectacular, it’s even better from above. Standing 270 metres above sea level, SkyPoint Climb is Australia’s highest – and most impressive – external building climb. Once you reach the top you’re met with supreme views of golden sand, azure blue waters and the jagged Gold Coast cityscape.

If you prefer to stay on ground, then shopping is the answer. Surfers Paradise alone is home to 14 different shopping centres and arcades.

There’s plenty beyond Surfers Paradise too.

Pacific Fair’s $645 million redevelopment has just been completed and avid shoppers now have greater choice, with newcomers H&M and Japanese apparel retailer UNIQLO, luxury retailers, and Australian designers all added to the mix.

It’s also sensible to dedicate time to natural wonders. From June to October it’s possible to see whales breaching from many of the beaches.

GOLD COAST

Then there’s Gold Coast’s hinterland – verdant greenery, quaint towns, charming shops and friendly locals with fascinating tales to tell – just 45 minutes drive from the glamorous coastal strip.

The township of Tamborine Mountain is one of the main attractions and an eccentric delight. Fudge shops, a cuckoo-clock store and a teashop whose claim to fame is stocking Australia’s largest selection of quality loose-leaf teas are some of the unusual finds here.

Tamborine Mountain Glow Worm Caves is an underground phenomenon kids rave about. The tour starts with an educational overview of the marvel, then the group enters a dark cave filled with thousands of glowing worms.

To conclude your Gold Coast hinterland experience, take a rug and some nibbles to one of the many lookouts on Tamborine Mountain. The sunsets are stunning and most of the lookouts offer panoramas that take in the green expanse of the hinterland, with the Gold Coast’s cityscape and white beaches in the distance. It’s a fitting image that captures the quintessential Gold Coast feel – beaches, city life, forests. No wonder it’s one of Australia’s favourite holiday spots.

切距离瑰丽的沿海地带只不过45分钟的 车程而已。 坦伯林山（Tamborine Mountain） 小镇是最吸引人的旅游景点之一，古怪却 有趣。在这儿您可以找到一些与众不同的 小店，包括几家软糖店、一家布谷鸟钟店， 还有一家以存有澳大利亚种类最多的优质 散装茶叶而闻名的茶叶店。 坦 伯 林 山 萤 火 虫 洞（G l o w W o r m Caves）是能令孩子们痴迷不已的地下奇 观。萤火虫洞之旅开始时，游客们会先简 要了解一下萤火虫洞的概况，然后再进入 藏有成千上万只萤火虫的黑暗洞窟。 最后，您不妨带着块毯子、拿点吃的， 到坦伯林山众多观景点之一，欣赏令人沉 醉的日落景象，为您的黄金海岸腹地之旅 画上完美的句号。在大多数观景点，您都 能饱览腹地一望无际的森林，还能 远 远 地看到黄金海岸的城市天际线和白色的 沙滩。黄金海岸的精髓— —沙滩、都市生 活、森林，在这里显得相得益彰、无比和 谐，它成为澳大利亚最受人欢迎的度假胜 地也就不足为奇了。

葡萄藤上的猎人谷

ON THE GRAPEVINE

Hundreds of wines and culinary delights are waiting to be discovered in the Hunter Valley – and the best part is that there’s nothing but open fields and vines to get in your way, writes Trent van der Jagt 特伦特·凡·德尔·亚赫特（Trent van der Jagt） 写道：猎人谷有无数的美酒佳肴等待您的发掘， 而其中最精彩的莫过于随处可见的原野与葡萄园

ou can easily spend days getting lost among the near-endless vineyards of the Hunter Valley. The beauty of the region is that, apart from eating, sampling smelly cheese and drinking away an afternoon (or two) at a handful of the 150 wineries, there really isn’t a whole lot else to distract you – which suits us fine. Wide-open views, snaking vines and a casual nod from local farmers are some of the only diversions you’ll face as you criss-cross the rolling hills.

And it would be almost sacrilegious to not sample a drop at as many cellar doors as possible along the way.

A quick two-hour drive from Sydney will land you in Pokolbin, the hub for Australia’s most famous and celebrated wine region. After a few glasses of the iconic crisp semillon and hearty shiraz, the hero wines of the region, you’ll know why so many travellers flock here.

The reason the area can produce such recognisable flavours is that it’s one of Australia’s hottest and wettest wine regions. Bordered by the jagged Brokenback Range to the west, the Hunter Valley to the north acts as a funnel, drawing the cool ocean breeze into the area and creating near-perfect conditions.

With vines dating back to the early 1800s, the Hunter Valley has played its part in establishing Australia as a major player in the global wine market. And yet, with such a long and vibrant past, it has managed to hold on to its untouched country charm. With some wineries dating back hundreds of years and others only just getting started, the variety will doubtless keep you busy.

THE WINE LIST

It’s hard to go thirsty in the Hunter when someone is forcing another glass into your hand on every corner.

One of the first cellar doors that can top you up is Brokenwood Wines. Evolving from weekend winemakers in the 70s looking to “give it a crack,”

92

Brokenwood has become one of the go-to wineries today. “This winery started as a hobby site between friends and is now producing some of the region’s best quality wines,” says Stuart Hordern, senior winemaker at Brokenwood Wines. “To see what it has become today has been an experience.”

The charming cellar door – complete with winery dalmatian weaving between your legs – is strewn with photos and memorabilia from its rich past, reaffirming its humble beginnings in the Hunter. “I’ve been here for over seven years and the sense of community in the region is fantastic,” says Hordern. “I’m a local boy and have worked across a number of wineries and played rugby with the same blokes for years. In a way the Hunter is a small community where we’re all working together to make it a destination worth visiting.”

While the charming staff and stunning views are worth the visit, it’s the Graveyard shiraz that gets all the attention. Since 1991, the Graveyard was listed by the Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine as ‘Outstanding’ on every release until 2010. It was then elevated to the highest category of ‘Exceptional’ – and has remained for each release since.

One of the oldest, largest and most well-known wineries in the region, meanwhile, is Tyrell’s Wines.

This fifth-generation winery, which embraces multi-generational winemaking, is home to some of Australia’s most awarded wines. This includes their Vat 1 semillon, first produced in 1963. It’s a tightly structured white with a breadth of citrus flavours. Tyrrell’s manages over 500 acres of vineyards in the Hunter region alone.

The original slab hut, built in 1858, still stands and acts as their cellar door. It’s open every day for tours through their underground cellar.

with over 100 years of experience passed down through the generations. “We’re one of the oldest wineries that’s still family-run in the Hunter. There are plenty of wineries producing solid releases, but not many have the years of knowledge we do,” Usher says.

Down a dirt road and hidden behind huge, bellowing weeping willows lies their log-cabin cellar door straight out of Little House on the Prairie. If anywhere captures the rural charm and history of the Hunter, this is the place. Take a glass of their refreshing semillon, a handful of fresh figs picked from their farm and a complimentary blanket down to the grass and feel that serenity.

FOOD HUNTER

Of course, wherever you find fine wine you’ll be sure to find equally fine food close behind. Anyone who has enjoyed a meal in the Hunter knows the restaurants relish in the art of pairing their food with wine; in fact, most of the restaurants share residence with wineries, meaning you’ll never need to put down your glass.

Known affectionately as the godfather of Hunter Valley dining, Robert Molines of Bistro Molines has seen the rise of food in the valley right from the beginning, when he arrived in 1973 to help lay the foundation of the Hunter’s burgeoning restaurant scene. Never straying far from his French roots, Molines’ menu at Bistro Molines commits to supporting locally sourced and in-season produce with front-runners such as twice-roasted Hunter duckling and slow-cooked pork collar with date jam.

While the view high over the sweeping valley is worth the visit alone, it’s the food that has truly captured a loyal following. “I came to the Hunter to escape the city and was here when there was barely a dining scene to speak of. I like to think that we helped guide the love of good food and good produce that we see here today,” Molines says.

Aside from his own endeavours, Molines has had his finger in many other pots around the Hunter. He has helped to establish some of the other high-end restaurants in the region, including Circa 1876, an adventurous space focusing on mixing comfort food with experimental twists, all housed inside a high-roofed, historic cottage.

The Hunter Valley has seen a boom in the farm-to-fork upsurge where many restaurants are either aiming to source every ingredient locally or, in Circa 1876’s case, attempting to become wholly self sufficient from their own gardens, beehives and paddock. >

产的却是猎人谷几种品质最佳的葡萄酒。 了解酒庄的发展史将是一段 令人难忘的 体验，”恋木传奇酒庄高级酿酒师斯图亚 特·霍登（Stuart Hordern）说。 在您参观 这间富有魅力的酒庄时，酒 庄的达尔马提亚犬会在您的脚边打转。 酒 庄历史丰富，散 布在各 处的照 片和 大 事记向您诉说着酒庄在猎人谷白手起家、 从 无 到 有的光 辉 过 去。“ 我在 这 儿已 经 工作了七年多，这儿的社区意识特别棒。 我是本地人，在好多家酒庄工作过，一直 和同一群人打橄 榄 球。在 某种意 义上， 猎人谷就 是 一 个小型社区，而处 于 这个 社区中的我们一直都同心协力，把它打造 成值得一游的目的地，”霍登说道。虽然 友好的员工和迷人的景色会让您不虚此 行，但宝帝园西拉（Graveyard Shiraz） 才是 整个旅行的重中之重。从19 91年开 始直到2 010年之前，兰顿澳 大利亚葡萄 酒分级（Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine）的每个版本都将宝帝 园西拉列为杰出级，而在2 010年及之后 的版本中，宝帝园西拉 被 荣升至 最高等 级——至尊级。

天瑞酒庄（Tyrrell’s Wines）是猎人谷 历史最悠久、规模最大也是最知名的酒庄 之一。酒庄已历经五代传承，积累了数代的 酿酒经验与技术。酒庄的几款葡萄酒是澳 大利亚获奖最多的酒款，其中包括1号桶赛 美蓉（Vat 1 semillon），这款酒最早产于 1963年，是一款结构紧致、散发着柑橘类 水果香气的白葡萄酒。天瑞酒庄仅在猎人 谷一地就经营着50 0多英亩的葡萄园，而 1858年酒庄初建时的小木屋仍然挺立着， 只不过变成了酒窖的门。小木屋每天对外 开放，您可以由此进入去参观酒庄的地下 酒窖。 厄舍·廷克勒（Usher Tinkler）是廷克 勒酒庄（Tinklers Wines）酿酒业务的负 责人。廷 克 勒 酒 庄 是猎人谷中其中一家 家族企业，代代相传，至今已一百多年的 历史。 “我们是猎人谷最古老的家族酒庄 之一。许多酒庄都可以生产葡萄酒，但像 我们这样拥有积年知识的酒庄却寥寥无 几。”厄舍·廷克勒说道。沿着泥 路一直 向前走，就可以看到隐 藏在被 风吹得 呼 呼作响的大柳树后面的酒窖门，仿佛直接 取自《草原小屋》（Little House on the > 95

A quick tour through their seasonal garden with executive chef Trent Barrett allows you to touch, smell and even pick the food you’ll be devouring soon after.

“I like to let people experience their food before they even eat it,” Barrett says. “Knowing that something is so fresh it was picked minutes before being served really helps elevate the flavours for some people.” The menu constantly changes with the season and whim of the gardeners and chefs, but the menu mainstays are the goat’s cheese and heirloom tomato salad, or the lobster and black garlic stuffed zucchini flowers.

Further evidence that produce is king here, EXP., a hidden gem infused within Oakvale Winery, has been playing with food in all the right ways. The intimate and chic space strives to reflect the region in every way.

Everything from the hand-crafted tables and unique tableware to the hand-woven napkins comes from the Hunter region, helping to highlight the creative ventures in the area. The menu reflects the seasons, and you’ll

have to place a little trust in head chef Frank Fawkner as he brings out plate after experimental plate of his eight-course tasting menu. While sitting in the courtyard overlooking EXP.’s vegetable and herb garden, you’ll be treated to creations such as duck ham with goat’s curd, a brioche that oozes with molten blue cheese and honey, and the always-popular house-made haloumi with eggplant. Whether it’s cheese, honey or cured meats, the team has painstakingly explored each ingredient to pay respect to the produce.

Hunter locals aren’t just looking to highlight their food and wine to a handful of visitors each weekend; they want to showcase their skills, flavours and culture to as broad an audience as possible.

June, more than 70 activities are lined up to help unearth the Hunter. With nearly every winery and restaurant getting involved, you’ll have your pick of the palette.

Wine tours let you sample the best wines on offer, vineyard tours allow you to get up-close and personal with winemakers, and chef’s tables and cooking classes offer foodies a chance to sample the produce that makes the area so popular.

A highlight from the festival is the 100-Metre Meal at Margan Wines, headed by acclaimed winemaker Andrew Margan and his chef wife, Lisa. With everything on the menu grown no more than 100 metres from the kitchen, a plate of estate-grown lamb and heirloom vegetables has never tasted so good – especially after washing it down with their single vineyard whites.

The Hunter Valley has become the premier wine country in Australia, and rightly so. The region has been culturally stirring since the 1970s thanks to the early generations that established it and the loyal winemakers and restaurateurs that helped put it on the map. Australians cherish their fine wine and will cross the country for a good bite to eat, so it’s no wonder the Hunter Valley community has banded together to create something special.

SKYDECK There’s no better way to get a sense of a new city than with a bird’s eye view – and you’ll get plenty of perspective from the Eureka Skydeck. The Southern Hemisphere’s highest public vantage point is actually the 88th floor of the Eureka Tower, the crowning glory of Melbourne’s skyline. Indeed, the building is ‘crowned’ by 24-carat-gold plating, which covers the glass on the top 10 levels of the tower. Ride the elevators up 285 metres for just 38 seconds before entering the Skydeck, where 360-degree views out over the city await. An outdoor terrace is perfect on a nice, calm day – and in the wind, the tower shifts up to 600mm, providing an added thrill. Adrenaline junkies can look straight down onto the city from inside The Edge – the building’s glass cube slides out from the 88th floor. 观景台 没有什么比高空鸟瞰能够更好地了解一个新城市了。尤 利卡观景台（Eureka Skydeck）可让您饱览整个墨尔 本的迷人景色。这座南半球最高的公众观景台位于尤利 卡大厦（Eureka Tower）第88层，是墨尔本城市天际 线的最高点。而大厦最上面十层的玻璃全部覆盖着24克 拉的镀金涂层，如同皇冠一般。只需38秒，您就可乘坐 电梯升至285米高空，然后在观景台360°无死角俯瞰墨 尔本的整体风光。风和日丽的时候，是在户外平台观景 的最佳时间；而有风的时候，大厦的晃动幅度可达600 毫米，给您带来额外的刺激体验。喜欢寻求刺激的人还 可以尝试“边缘地带” （The Edge）——这是一个可从 88层缓缓推出大厦主体的玻璃立方体，为您添一份“凌 空观景”的惊险和刺激。

EUREKA 89 While you’re sky high, settle in for dinner among the stars. Eureka 89 is the tower’s degustation restaurant, located one floor above the Skydeck. The seasonal five- or seven-course menus by executive chef Renee Martillano showcase local produce along with international flavours like New Zealand venison and octopus with whipped tobiko. Matched wines feature drops from local Werribee winery Shadowfax, along with award-winning Australian wineries of the Yarra Valley and Adelaide Hills. 尤利卡 89餐厅 登上高空后，您可以在璀璨的群星中享受晚餐。Eureka 89是开设于尤里卡大厦的赏味餐厅，位于观景台的上面 一层。行政总厨蕾妮·玛缇拉诺（Renee Martillano） 精心设 计 的 时 令菜单（五 道 菜 或七 道 菜）将当地 食 材与国际风 味完美 融 合，如 新西兰 鹿肉和 鱼子 酱八 爪 鱼。与 这 些 美 食 搭 配 的 葡 萄 美 酒 来 自 华 勒 比 庄 园（We r r i b e e）的Sh a d ow fa x 酒庄，以及雅拉谷 （Yarra Valley）和阿德莱德山（Adelaide Hills）屡获 殊荣的各个酒庄。

ALBERT PARK In March each year the Formula One Grand Prix zooms into town, taking over the meandering roads that wind through this leafy enclave just 3km south of the CBD. Grandstands go up, providing seating for guests from all over the world, and fences are used to section off the race course. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event for Formula One fans, but year round, Albert Park is open to the public for more sedate sessions.

Do a much slower lap of the track by yourself, be it by car, bike or on foot; try fishing or even a spot of sailing on the 120-acre Albert Park Lake; keep your eyes peeled for more than 100 different bird species; or book a table at The Point, the park’s fine-dining institution that looks out over the manicured lawns. 阿尔伯特公园 每年3月，世界一级方程式大奖赛（Formula One Grand Prix）将来到墨尔本，在中央商务区以南3公里 蜿蜒曲折的林荫赛道上展开角逐。届时公园将用围栏 将赛场隔离出来，并搭建看台，供来自世界各地的车迷 观赏比赛。对于F1车迷来说，这是一生难得的盛事。而 在一年当中的其它时间，阿尔伯特公园都会向公众开 放，让公众享受更多的安静。您可以开车、骑自行车或 者步行，悠然地亲自体验赛道；或在120英亩的阿尔伯 特湖（Albert Park Lake）中垂钓或划船；也可以观赏 园中100余种不同的鸟类，或者在公园的美食餐厅The Point品尝美食。

“ DO A MUCH SLOWER LAP OF THE TRACK BY YOURSELF, BE IT BY CAR, BIKE OR ON FOOT, OR TRY FISHING OR EVEN A SPOT OF SAILING” SUPERNORMAL On a cold winter’s night, Melbourne’s laneways offer a reprieve from the blustery main thoroughfares.

Wander down Flinders Lane and look for the crowds – the busy sections of Melbourne’s infamous laneway are a good barometer for what’s hot in town. All of chef Andrew McConnell’s restaurants usually have a line outside them, and his latest venture is no different. Supernormal takes Asian fusion to new levels, cherry picking flavours from Chinese, Japanese and Korean cuisines. From twice-cooked duck bao and New England lobster rolls to slow-cooked Szechuan lamb and raw Kingfish, you’ll be able to warm your cockles on a cold night.

MARKETS GALORE From a quick sugar hit to an award-winning meal, Melbourne’s markets are known worldwide as the melting pot of the city’s best cuisines and curiosities.

The Queen Victoria Market – ‘Queen Vic’ to locals – houses more than 600 stalls sprawled across two city blocks on the north-western edge of the CBD. Make a beeline for the Deli Hall, where you’ll find stalls stocked with artisan cheeses, olives and charcuterie fare, before heading outside to the famous American Doughnut Kitchen. This 1950s caravan usually has a line snaking past the fruit-and-veggie stalls and down through the market square – the hot pillows of plump, jam-filled dough are a market must-have. At South Melbourne Market, lines form along the eastern edge of the covered marketplace, where the South Melbourne Market Dim Sim stall is stationed. Dating back to 1949, the stall has a strong local following, with its recipe for the meat, cabbage and lightly spiced steamed or fried dim sim drawing crowds from across the city. At Abbotsford Convent, the sprawling manicured lawns and beautiful heritage buildings are the setting for Slow Food Farmers Markets. On the fourth Saturday of the month, stallholders bring fresh produce straight from the farm. 墨尔本市场 从快餐甜品到获奖菜肴，墨尔本的市场因融合了这个 城 市最 好的菜肴和各种新 奇事 物而闻名于 世。维多 利亚女王市场（Queen Victoria Market），当地人 称“Queen Vic”，拥有600多个摊位，遍布于中央商 务区西北角的两个街区。沿着Deli Hall直走，在到达著 名的American Doughnut Kitchen前，您会看到摆满 手工奶酪、橄榄的摊位以及熟食店。这辆起源于20世纪 50年代的大篷车前经常排着蛇形长队，穿过水果摊和 蔬菜摊，甚至一直排到市场广场，等待品尝不可错过的 市场明星——热果酱甜甜圈。在南墨尔本市场（South Melbourne Market），沿着市场东边直走，您会看到 在当地大受欢迎的Dim Sim（澳式烧卖）摊位。其历史 可以追溯至1949年，特色Dim Sim吸引着来自各地的 人们。艾伯特斯堡女修道院（Abbotsford Convent） 修剪整齐的草坪和美丽的传统建筑见证着Slow Food Farmers Markets的发展。每月的第四个星期六，摊主 们会将新鲜食材直接从农场带到这里出售。 Above and right: Melbourne is a melting pot of market stalls with everything from meats to breads, tea and fresh produce

WERRIBEE ZOO Swap the concrete jungle for a safari adventure – just a half-hour’s drive from the CBD, the busy roads soon give way to the grassy plains of this 225-hectare open-range zoo. As the name would suggest, many of the animals roam freely in large enclosures designed to mimic the open savannahs of Africa – a safari ride through the grasslands, passing by zebras, giraffes, rhinos, ostriches and other grazing animals, is included in your ticket and makes for a fun way to see these creatures without fences. And don’t worry, there’s still a fence between you and the cats – the somewhat feistier animals are housed in more traditional zoo enclosures waiting to be visited. 华勒比动物园 远离城市的钢筋水泥，来华勒比动物园（Wer ribee Zoo）体验野外冒险之旅吧。距离中央商务区仅半小时 车程，这里没有繁忙的公路，只有225公顷野生动物园 的青青草原。顾名思义，野生动物园模仿非洲大草原的 开放环境，很多动物可以在大型围墙中自由走动。购买 门票后，您可以乘坐游览车穿越草原，近距离欣赏斑 马、长颈鹿、犀牛、鸵鸟和其他食草动物。这种在没有 围栏的情况下观赏动物的方式相当有趣。不过不要担 心，您和猫科动物不会有亲密接触— —这里的其他食 肉动物都是关起来的，和传统动物园一样。

WERRIBEE MANSION Just around the corner from your taste of Africa’s wild plains is a slice of old-world charm. A monastery in a former life, the Italianate mansion sits on manicured grounds designed by W.R. Guilfoyle, who curated the Melbourne Botanic Gardens. A turn around the garden reveals hidden clearings for quiet contemplation and a grotto perched on the edge of the ornamental pond. Rooms in the stately hotel are filled with photos from the past, but are very much up-to-scratch with modern luxury. Book in for a massage in the spa or swim a few laps in the hotel’s stunning 17-metre indoor pool. 华勒比花园 从 野生动 物园驱车前 往，不久 您 就可以 感受到旧世 界 的 魅力。作为曾经 的 修 道 院，现 如 今 这 栋 意 式豪 宅 坐 落于 精心修剪的花园之中。花园由吉尔福伊 尔 （W.R Guilfoyle）操刀设计，他也是墨尔本皇家植物园 （Melbourne Botanic Gardens）的设计师。您可以 在花园里信步而行，这里既有可安静深思的隐密空地， 也有坐落于观赏池塘边缘的洞穴。富丽堂皇的酒店客 房里挂满了老照片，但又不乏现代奢华的魅力。在水疗 中心预定按摩或者在酒店17米长的室内游泳池游上几 圈，都是不错的选择。

INTERCONTINENTAL HIGH COFFEE Pour-over, cold drip, filter, batch brew, plain old espresso – the Melbourne coffee scene can be confusing! Coffee connoisseurs could spend hours visiting the city’s many cafes and cupping rooms, but if you’re after an extra-special caffeine hit, book in for High Coffee at this beautifully restored hotel.

A stunning glass atrium joins the two buildings, once offices and wool stores, which date back to 1891.

The cobblestone laneway between the two now forms the beautiful bottom floor of the lobby. High Coffee takes place in the Market Lane Bar, where guests can look out over the open foyer as they sip espresso martinis and nibble on mini-Millawa goat’s cheese sandwiches. The array of savoury and sweet treats are served with coffee to finish, of course.

“ A STUNNING GLASS ATRIUM JOINS THE TWO BUILDINGS, ONCE OFFICES AND WOOL STORES, WHICH DATE BACK TO 1891.”

PEPPERS DOCKLANDS Once the industrial end of town but now a hub for big business, Docklands is the new spot to stay for a quick trip to Melbourne. When Peppers Docklands opened its doors in early 2016, it was the industrial suburb’s first five-star hotel. The 87-room property is part of the $100 million M Docklands development and is paving the way for high-quality experiences in the area. It’s a great base if you’re in town for a game at Etihad Stadium, with direct access straight to the concourse from the hotel. The hotel facade’s dramatic murals are by local street artist RONE, so if you run out of time to wander the graffiti laneways, at least you’ve seen a little street art.

Peppers Docklands酒店 随 着 曾 经 的 工 业 小 镇 转 变 为 如 今 的 商业中 心，达 克 兰（D o c k l a n d s）已 经 成为墨尔 本 短 期 旅 行 的 新亮 点。Peppers Docklands酒店于2016年初开门营业，是 位于市郊工业区的第一家五星级酒店。酒店拥有87间客 房，是墨尔本达克兰新区（M Docklands）1亿澳元发展 项目的一部分，旨在打造高品质的区域体验。如果您要去 伊蒂哈德体育场（Etihad Stadium）观看比赛，这里将是 最佳的住宿选择，可从酒店大堂直接抵达体育场。酒店正 面是由当地街头艺术家罗恩（RONE）创作的壁画，非常 地引人注目。如果您没有时间去逛涂鸦小巷，至少能在这 里体验一下街头艺术。

Change of PACE Chengdu has a reputation as China’s version of the ‘City That Never Sleeps’ – but, writes Adrian Mourby, there’s still a slower side to Sichuan’s capital

108

109

CHENGDU

I

t’s a bright October morning in Renmin Park and the ginko trees, true to form, have just dropped their yellow leaves overnight. Toffee sellers line the pathways with their slabs of marble and propane burners, creating zodiac signs in viscous toffee. As passers-by pause, the large pink flowers of the hibiscus bushes nod in the breeze.

The hibiscus is the symbol of this old but rapidly modernising city, for many years the capital of the ancient state of Shu (modern Sichuan Province). Chengdu was established in 311BC and in the 10th century (CE) Emperor Meng Chang ordered the planting of hibiscus on top of its fortress walls. The last of those walls were torn down, along with the Royal Palace, by Red Guards in 1967, but both are commemorated in Chengdu’s nickname in China, the ‘City of Hibiscus’.

Despite the fast pace of change, much about Chengdu does not alter. The city is remarkable in China for neither shifting its location nor changing its name in over 2,300 years.

110

Stand today in Tianfu Square – the site of the Royal Palace with its 30-metre statue of Chairman Mao with his arm outstretched – and you’re in the centre of Chengdu. Fifty years on from the destruction of the palace, Tianfu Square is a busy, bright trafficopolis, completed in 2009 with trees and illuminated fountains and cars and taxis circling it day and night.

Tianfu means ‘land of abundance’, and indeed the whole of Chengdu unfolds abundantly, north, south , east and west from here, as it did in Imperial times.

These days Chengdu’s giant panda-breeding program, 8km north of town, attracts tourists from all over the world. But the city itself – old and new, and all around us – is well worth checking out too. Who needs pandas anyway when, at the Wenshu Temple, you can walk through hall after hall of lions (the symbol of the Wenshu Buddha). This ancient temple, north of Tianfu Square and beyond the city’s Tibetan quarter, was built during the Tang dynasty and dates back 1,300 years.

Serene and welcoming, its walls and woodwork are

painted black and sombre red. The temple is famed for its tea house and vegetarian restaurant and is an ideal, calm place to prepare for an exploration of Chengdu, as saffron-robed monks walk to and fro.

PEACE AND QUIET

Next door, in Wenshu Fang, practise your haggling. This series of stone streets has been reconstructed to provide a market for souvenirs and snack food. Chengdu has a number of restored or even invented old streets; Jin Li, close by Wuhou Temple, is a 300-metre alleyway that recreates an old trading street with wooden-fronted shops leading to an open-air theatre performing Sichuanese opera. Qintai Road, north of Qingang Temple, is a recently re-created street built in a range of styles from the Ming and Qing dynasties, a period spanning almost 600 years. According to local legend, the Chengdu poet Sima Xiangru, who famously eloped with the widow Zhuo Wenjun, lived in area of Qintai Road in the second century BCE. >

“Laozi lost interest in teaching, telling his followers he could be found at the Green Goat Market once his ideas were understood” And Chengdu has many, many temples. While the city has rushed to be modern in recent years, it has also kept in touch with its past. The fact that the city centre is never more than 7km wide has helped Chengdu remain focused on its historic core. The energy of the place has never dissipated in urban sprawl.

The Qingyang Taoist temple 2km west of Renmin Park is spacious and gracious and curiously fronted by two bronze goats, one of which has been worn shiny by those patting it for good luck. The choice of this animal reflects the curious name of the temple (Qingyang means Green Goat). In the fifth century BCE when the founder of Taoism, Laozi, lost interest in teaching his ideas, he walked off into the sunset, telling his followers he could be found at the Green Goat Market once his ideas were understood.

Wuhou Temple, south of Qingyang Temple, was built in 223AD as a memorial to Zhuge Liang, military strategist, statesman, reclusive scholar and inventor, whose nickname was Wolong (‘Crouching Dragon’).

His master Emperor Liu Bei is buried in the north-west corner. It’s apt that the emperor has come to Zhuge Liang in death, as in life Liu Bei had to visit Crouching Dragon three times before he could gain his services.

Completing the list of historic gems in the centre of Chengdu is Du Fu’s cottage, a tranquil thatched dwelling that stood here outside the city gates in the eighth century AD. Du Fu was a poet during the Tang dynasty who wrote about his own difficult life with humour and compassion. Still today, his is one of the most influential voices in Chinese poetry. Three centuries after Du Fu’s death a shrine and park were founded here around the site of his cottage. Today they act as both a museum and a quiet place for contemplation of a life well-lived. Here amid the plum trees and bamboos, the chrysanthemums bloom in autumn. It’s a truly restful place – if you can get it to yourself.

GOOD AS NEW

Three of the most interesting new buildings in Chengdu, ironically, commemorate the distant past, an archaeological site accidentally uncovered in February > 113

CHENGDU

2001 during the construction of new Chengdu suburbs.

Jinsha (the name means ‘Golden Sand’) flourished to the west of Chengdu around 1200–650 BC. The city traded in ivory, jade, bronze and gold and did not build a defensive wall, suggesting it lived through a period of prolonged prosperity and security. Today, three large geometric buildings that opened in 2006 – Relics Hall, Exhibition Hall and Cultural Heritage Protection Center – cover the site, along with an ecological garden.

Back in Chengdu itself you’ll find among the skyscrapers a number of edgy new galleries. “See you at Kuanzhai,” a common expression amongst the city’s young people, refers to the Kuanzhai Alley Community. Kuanzhai or Kuan Xiangzi was built

by Manchu warriors stationed in Chengdu in the 18th century. With its grey brick houses, Kuanzhai resembles the traditional hutongs of Beijing. Recently the area has been refurbished with coffee shops, bars, Western food restaurants and galleries.

“Meet me at Cangku” is another familiar expression. Cangku means ‘warehouse’ and refers to an old factory that, after renovation, has opened with a coffee shop, restaurant, souvenir shop and art space.

Meanwhile, East Memory will look very familiar to anyone who knows Beijing’s 798Art District. It’s part of the Chengdu East Zone Music Park, where old brick factory buildings and concrete water towers have been turned into a music performance zone.

The hotel scene has recently moved forward dramatically with Temple House, Chengdu’s first style-boutique hotel. Designed by UK-based architects, this modern hotel rises up from a beautifully restored hundred-year-old Chinese courtyard next to the thousandyear-old Daci Temple. It’s a good example of Chengdu’s ability to combine the new and old, and recently won the Tatler Award for imaginative hotel design. Meanwhile, the St. Regis Chengdu provides business travellers with reassuring Western-style comfort, and next year a stylish W Chengdu will open in the city centre.

FOODIE HEAVEN

Sichuan cuisine makes restaurants in Chengdu a rich and delightful experience. Two particular favourites are Yu’s Family Kitchen near the Elevated Ring Road, justly famed for its 20-dish degustation menu (no ordering a la carte), and Din Tai Fung in the Niushikou residential district. This is an offshoot of the Michelin-starred Din Tai Fung international restaurant chain that is famed worldwide for its xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

Above: There’s so much to do in Chengdu, but you can’t miss seeing the pandas

114

For gan-bei (late night drinking), V Plus Lounge on the top floor of BaiYang Tower, just next to Tianfu Square, has a small dance floor, a designated whisky-tasting area and a wine list that includes 20 champagnes. It’s generally recognised as the place where rich people go to see and be seen. A more budget option – but still not cheap – is the VAT Committee Whisky & Cocktail Bar on Tongzilin Road, a popular dark space with a long bar and even longer cocktail list with whiskies from over 100 countries.

As to the future, south of Chengdu stands the city’s great project for the Third Millennium: Tianfu New City.

This involves the creation of a post-industrial garden city with wide boulevards, high-rise living and signature buildings that integrate farm landscape with the city instead of setting them in opposition. Currently a building site disappearing in the autumn mists, Tianfu New City will contain two of the largest buildings in the world.

The New Century City World Center and New Century Contemporary Art Center have been commissioned from Zaha Hadid, who made such an impact with her Opera House in Guangzhou. A new ‘eco-lake’ covering three square kilometres that will stand at the centre of the development is already open to the public.

Those walls may be torn down, but the City of Hibiscus looks set to flower for centuries to come.

YOU WANT… COOL JAPANESE

想吃与众不同的日本菜？

TRY… J-MIX, JUMEIRAH HIMALAYAS 千万别错过上海卓美亚喜 玛拉雅酒店J-MIX

Too often are Japanese hotel restaurants restricted to boring, overpriced sushi selections served up in a fusty cherry-blossom-motif room. Not at J-Mix; this stylish eatery in the Jumeirah Himalayas puts the hipper side of Japan forward, with a monochrome ‘hot and cold’ dining and decor concept that always sets the right mood, whatever the time of day.

One part of the restaurant is all light woods and grey-and-black marbles.

It’s light-flooded, decked out in paper lanterns and furnished with a white pebble garden – the perfect setting for a simple sashimi lunch or a soothing bowl of ramen. The opposite side? It’s the yin to the other’s yang. Furnished in dark woods and large, circular tables, it’s just the tone you want if flocking with friends for a social teppanyaki evening. The only trouble is wanting to taste it all, but here the Japanese tradition of tabehodai (all-you-can-eat), which J-Mix embraces, might just provide an answer. 许多酒店的日本餐厅往往局限于乏味又昂 贵的寿司，房间的装潢也多是老式的樱花 主题。不过J-Mix有些与众不同，这家位于 上海卓美亚喜玛拉雅酒店的时尚餐厅将日 本时髦的一面展现出来，设有单独的“冷 食区和热食区”，不论一天中的哪个时段， 餐厅的装修理念始终营造出恰当的用餐氛 围。餐厅的一部分全部是由轻质木材及灰 色和黑色大理石建造。餐厅到处都装饰着 纸灯笼，还有一个白色鹅卵石小花园，是 享受简单的生鱼片午餐和一碗抚慰身心的 拉面的理想之所。那么餐厅的另一部分又 是什么样的呢？是与这边的“阳”相对的 “ 阴”— — 暗 色 的木 器 、大 大的圆桌， 正是您与一群朋友来一次“铁板烧”晚餐 的完美之地。无法品尝全部美食？在这里 您不会有这个烦恼— —J-Mix的日式“吃 到饱”（自助餐）传统正好能够满足您的 心愿。

YOU WANT… A MODERN BRUNCH 想要现代早午餐？

TRY… THE MEAT, KERRY HOTEL

不容错过上海浦东嘉里大酒店THE MEAT·扒

If the Park Hyatt is home to the ultimate bells-and-whistles hotel brunch, the Kerry Hotel in Pudong has to claim one of the coolest. When a restaurant is called something like ‘The Meat’ it’s pretty obvious that brunch isn’t going to be your run-of-the-mill ‘orange or grapefruit juice’ buffet. Allegiance fully pledged to the carnivores among us, this restaurant has the largest selection of grass-fed beef in the whole of Shanghai (there’s even an adjoining butcher shop), and its piece de resistance, the 1.8kg ‘Ningaloo Tomahawk’ hunk of prime rib, looks like it came straight off a dinosaur. Within the New-York-brasserie-esque space, lined with slick white booths, this Sunday brunch is not one for pairing with delicate flutes of bubbly. Instead it’s for knocking back with craft beers – perhaps those freshly made at the Brew bar downstairs.

Your wagyu beef steaks, triple-decker

burgers and hazelnut-crusted rack of lamb will thank you, just so long as you don’t bring your vegan mate. 如果说上海柏悦酒店是精致花俏的酒店 早午餐的终极代表，那么上海浦东嘉里大 酒店可谓是 最酷 的早午餐所在 地。餐厅 名为“The MEAT•扒”，很显然这儿的早 午餐绝不是普通的“橙汁或西柚汁”自助 餐。The MEAT•扒是肉食爱好者的天堂， 供应有上海种类最齐全的食草牛肉（这里 甚至还有个“醒肉房”），主菜为重达1.8公 斤的澳大利亚神户战斧牛排，看起来像是 直接从恐龙身上割下来的一样。在纽约啤 酒店风格的餐厅内，两旁是白色的分隔用 餐区，布置得十分漂亮。这儿的周日早午餐 不适合搭配精致的香槟酒；相反，适合大 口大口地喝掉精酿啤酒——特别是楼下酒 吧新鲜酿制的啤酒。 如果没有严守素食主 义的小伙伴一起前来，那么这里的和牛牛 排、三层汉堡和榛子烤羊排一定能够让您 乘兴而来、尽兴而归。

YOU WANT… THE EPICALLY OTT SUNDAY BRUNCH 周日想要来一份超级早午餐？

TRY… PARK HYATT DINING ROOM 试试上海柏悦酒店大堂餐厅吧

You’ll want to come equipped with an appetite when eating at Park Hyatt’s Dining Room. We’ll warn you now that this isn’t a budget brekky. You should plan on dropping about 930 RMB per person, but boy, is it ever an experience.

For starters, it’s not simply a run-of-themill bubbly brunch; this is a free-flowing, all-you-can-drink champagne one, where it’s perfectly possible to glug Veuve Cliquot until comatose (or opt for one divine glass of Dom Perignon 2005). Secondly, the focus is on that glamourpuss of shellfish: lobster. The crustaceans feature in everything from lobster Caesar salad to lobster Thermidor and wok-fried black-pepper lobster.

Whatever’s not lobster-filled is equally bling, like Alaskan king crab or beef tartare. The very-grown-up dark woods, crisp white table cloths and yawning floorto-ceiling windows opening up to the city add to the luxury factor. Fully booked on Sunday? Good thing they also do a lavish 118

Saturday brunch, where you can feast on a slap-up tasting menu of braised Iberico pork cheek or morel mushroom risotto… and still sip free-flowing Movida Brut fizz and Tsing Tao beer. 许多豪华酒店周日都会 供应丰盛的早午 餐，但上海柏悦酒店的周日早午餐绝对会 令您眼前一亮。需要提醒您的是，这儿不 是廉价的早餐，您应做好每人花费约人民 币930元的准备。不过放心，这种体验绝对 令人难忘。它不是普通的香槟早午餐，而 是有无限量美酒供应的香槟早午餐。在这 儿，您可以畅饮凯歌香槟直至昏睡不醒， 或者细细品味一杯唐培里侬20 05年份香 槟。餐厅的特色菜是令人馋涎欲滴龙虾。 从龙虾凯撒色拉到芝士焗龙虾再到黑胡椒 汁炒龙虾，龙虾是当仁不让的主角。餐厅 整体装修风格非常成熟，搭配可以饱览城 市风光的宽大落地窗更显高档奢华之感。 周日都预订一空了？不用担心，他们还提供 豪华的周六早午餐，您可以尽情享用高档 的试味套餐，还可以无限畅饮意大利莫凡 达起泡葡萄酒和青岛啤酒。

SHANGHAI LUNCH

YOU WANT… DELIZIOSO ITALIAN

想要吃点可口的意大利菜？

TRY… SCENA ITALIAN, THE RITZ-CARLTON SHANGHAI PUDONG 不妨试试上海浦东丽思卡尔顿酒 店意味轩意大利餐厅

There are no pizzas and over-creamed carbonaras – Scena specialises in real Italian food, prepared to a world-beating standard at that. Chef Riccardo La Perna used to work at two-Michelin-starred Sadler Restaurant in Milan, so while his flavours might be old-world Italian (think porcini mushrooms, black truffle, Frangelico) his execution is far more forward-thinking – those porcini are destined to meet seared duck liver in a soup; those truffles are tossed together with scallops and potato chips in a starter; and that Frangelico is frozen into ice cream to become the perfect partner for a warm chocolate cake. His artful dishes are washed down with equally fine Italian tipples, as is Shanghai’s iconic city skyline, which is easy to drink in from the The Ritz-Carlton’s skyscraping 52nd floor. The interior may be as sumptuously modern as the dishes.

SHANGHAI LUNCH

YOU WANT… ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT DIM SUM 想要无限量的点心自助午餐？

TRY… SI JI XUAN, THE FOUR SEASONS 那就到上海四季酒店四季轩

Those six magic words, ‘all-youcan-eat dim sum,’ are more likely to be uttered at some hole-in-the-wall than in one of the city’s top hotels, but luckily you don’t have to go further than the culinary institution that is the Four Seasons in Jing An to hear them.

During the weekends at sprawling Si Ji Xuan – all no-holds-barred-red, properly old-world-China decor – you can sink your teeth into limitless arrays of these bite-sized delights. Be it juicy Shanghai pork dumplings (siu mai), pan-fried coconut rice cakes, pretty parcels of har gow or crisp shrimp (cheung fen), you can blitz right through them and then call your server over for more. Served up somewhere this swanky you might expect a mega price tag, but at the

uber-reasonable price of 168 RMB per person you really don’t need to eat your weight to snag a bargain. “点心无限量”这五个有魔力的字眼更可 能在某个小馆子听到，而不是在上海最高 档的几个酒店之一。但幸运的是，您在静安 区上海四季酒店的餐厅也可以享受到点心 无限量自助午餐。四季轩占地面积颇大， 店面采用中式传统装修，大量使用红色色 调。周末时，您可以尽情享用各种各样的一 口大小的美味点心。鲜美多汁的上海生煎 包、烧卖、椰汁年糕、漂亮的虾饺以及金网 虾仁肠粉，您可以快速品尝所有这些点心， 然后再让服务员多拿一些过来。如此一流 的点心，您可能认为价格肯定很高，但其实 价格非常合理，每位仅人民币168元（加收 15%税），所以您完全不需要省吃俭用就可 以到这儿饕餮一番。

SHANGHAI LUNCH

YOU WANT… LOW-KEY GASTRONOMIC 想要低调奢华的美食？

TRY… PHENIX, THE PULI

何不试试上海璞丽酒店斐霓丝餐厅酒吧

Hotel fine-dining restaurants love to be snooty. But the brand-spanking new (open from only the start of March this year) Phenix eatery in hip-yetswanky The Puli in Jing An is anything but. Crafted, frame-it-and-hang-it-ina-museum-worthy modern European dishes roll out from the kitchen, including a delicate confit salmon topped with cucumber mousse, chicory root and apple. But so do more substantial, bone-sticking ones, such as a glazed 12-hour-slow-roasted merino lamb shoulder. Other dishes, such as the baked gnocchi with Raclette cheese and black Yunnan truffle, see the best of Europe and China come together. But what really sets Phenix apart is its laidback atmosphere, so rare with food this good. Not only can you come for three meals a day (four if you count afternoon

tea), but its loungey vibe equals meals that are cool, casual and fuss-free. 酒店的高档餐厅往往给人以傲慢自大的 感觉。然而，在静安区时尚奢华的上海璞 丽酒店中，全新的（今年三月份才开业）斐 霓丝餐厅 酒吧却绝非如此。一道 道精心 制作的现代欧式菜肴不断从厨房端出，仿 佛经过装裱之后就可以放到博物馆中展 览，其中包括慢煮鱒鱼配黄瓜摩斯、腌苹 果和菊苣酱。餐厅还供应一些带骨的大硬 菜，比如经12小时慢烤的美利奴羊肩。其 他菜品，比如烘烤土豆丸子配拉可雷特奶 酪和云南黑松露，则完美融合了欧式与中 式美食佳馔的精髓。不过，真正让斐霓丝 餐厅酒吧独树一帜的是其闲适的氛围，很 少有餐厅能做到如此程度。因此，您不仅 可以到这儿来享用一日三餐（如果加上下 午茶，那就是四餐），而且与这儿的美食一 样，这里的氛围也同样舒适、随意，毫无拘 束之感。

SHANGHAI LUNCH

YOU WANT… A PROPER AFTERNOON TEA

想要享受真正的下午茶？

TRY… SALON DE VILLE, WALDORF ASTORIA 那就到上海外滩华尔道夫酒店浦 江汇来吧

The tradition of afternoon tea is drenched in history and style, so it’s only natural to take yours at Salon de Ville, which dates back to 1910 when it was a newsroom in the exclusive Shanghai Club. You can almost imagine the old club members puffing on their pipes here even now, as the Salon’s vibe is something straight out of Downton Abbey.Ornate red curtains, cushy, lavish silky chairs and period architectural details are crammed into every corner. But while this throwback ambience could set things up for a staunchly stuffy afternoon tea, the reality is quite different. A contemporary ‘Red Velvet’ version has all the essentials of a traditional tea – tiered cake stands, raisin scones, smoked-salmon-stuffed finger sandwiches and harp music twinkling in the background – but with a vibrant, allAmerican injection via a tier of NYC-style cheesecakes. Though, as you’d except, the real star is the red velvet cake with its beetroot-hued, chocolatey bake first made famous at the Waldorf Astoria New York. 下 午 茶 有 着 深 厚 的 历 史 和 传 统 ，所 以 您自然而然地会想 到浦江 汇。浦江 汇的 历史可以 追 溯到1910 年，曾是 上海总会 （Shanghai Club）的报章杂志阅览室。 即使在今天，您几乎也可以想象出上海总 会的会员们在此抽雪茄的情景 — —浦江 汇的环 境 像 是 直 接取自《唐 顿 庄园》一 样——华丽的红色窗帘、舒适奢华的丝绒 椅子和富有时代气息的建筑细节充满各个 角角落落。虽然这种怀旧氛围会让人以为 这儿的下午茶肯定很沉闷乏味，但事实绝 非如此。现代“红丝绒”下午茶具备传统下 午茶的一切精要——三层点心架、葡萄干 司康和烟熏三文鱼手指三明治，还有竖琴 演奏作为背景音乐；不过，这儿的下午茶 点心其中一层是纽约风格的芝士蛋糕，从 而注入了一种充满活力的典型美式风格气 息。但正如您所预期的，真正的明星产品 是红丝绒蛋糕，一种甜菜根色巧克力味蛋 糕，曾风靡纽约华尔道夫阿斯托里亚酒店 （Waldorf Astoria New York）。

SCENA ITALIAN

100 Century Avenue

上海半岛酒店艾利爵士餐厅必能满足您 If there’s one place where you’ll want to save room for dessert, it’s at Sir Elly’s.

It can be difficult, of course; as soon as you tuck into the juicy wagyu steaks and Gillardeau oysters in this intimate, glossy, atmospheric dining room at the pinnacle of The Peninsula, you won’t want to slow until you’re full to the brim. But do trust us here, because now that new executive pastry chef Lucien Gautier has joined the team straight from Paris, the afters have become the restaurant’s real main event. The creations of the French master, who trained under Alain Ducasse, are almost (and we do mean almost) too pretty to eat. Fanciful, creamy delights with kaleidoscopic sugar work that seem to defy gravity, they’re classically French in inspiration but feature Asian flavours such as yuzu. Post-main-course you’ll want to seriously consider sliding a fork through the ‘peanut’ – roasted peanut ice cream, milk chocolate, coffee cream, and

star anise Chantilly cream. Or, perhaps a coconut lime soufflé with cranberry compote and mango sorbet. Can’t decide?

You’ll just have to come back again tomorrow for seconds – we won’t judge. 如果您想留着肚子吃甜点，那么艾利爵士 餐厅是您的不二之选。餐厅位于上海半岛 酒店顶层，环境舒适怡人、富丽堂皇、优雅 大气。当然，一旦您在这样的环境中享用鲜 美多汁的和牛牛排和吉拉多生蚝，不吃个 饱食餍足是绝对不想罢休的。不过您要相 信我们，从巴黎而来的新任行政糕点主厨 卢思昂（Lucien Gautier）让餐后甜点成 为餐厅真正的主角。这位法国大厨在阿兰· 杜卡斯（Alain Ducasse）烹饪学校接受培 训，他的美食作品漂亮得几乎令人舍不得吃 掉。这些甜点的构思属于典型的法式风格， 但味道却与众不同，具有日本柚子等亚洲 风味。别错过它们各种的“花生”点心—— 香烤花生冰淇淋、牛奶巧克力、咖啡奶油和 尚蒂伊鲜奶油，或是来一份椰味青柠舒芙 蕾、蔓越莓酱和芒果雪葩。

H I G H E R L I F E // M O T O R I N G

The strident trident Porsche has done it. Bentley is doing it. Jaguar and Aston Martin are looking into it. But the newest luxury car manufacturer to enter the SUV fray is Maserati, with the Levante.

Named after a warm Mediterranean wind, Maserati has wholeheartedly embraced this gust of fresh direction with a vehicle that is both imposing and graceful.

Given that the underpinnings of the Levante come from the Quattroporte and Ghibli, few will question the capability of the handling. Gone are the days when driving a large SUV and piloting a small boat were entirely different sensations.

Today’s sportscar-inspired SUVs are nimble and eager to be driven enthusiastically.

Proof of that comes in the fact that the base Levante accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 6.0 seconds, and keeps pushing forwards until it hits 251km/h.

If that’s not enough for a decent school run, the Levante S will throw the kids into the back of their booster seats with a 0 to 100km/h dash timed at 5.2 seconds. Not that we’d recommend that, naturally; nor would we recommend hitting the vehicle’s top speed of 264km/h.

Luckily, there’s also a more sedate diesel that will carry you in comfort to 230 km/h, get you to 100 in 6.9 seconds and return a solid combined fuel consumption of around 7.2 litres per 100km.

Inside, the Levante delivers exactly what one would expect from a luxury manufacturer. Leather, infotainment screens and electronic comforts abound – however, special focus has been placed on safety equipment and other driver aids. The exhaustive list includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic brake assist system, blind spot alert, surround view camera, lane departure warning and a powerlift tailgate.

So, if your need to carry your kids and their cricket equipment has been clashing with your desire for perfect 50:50 weight distribution, the Maserati Levante could well be the answer.

H I G H E R L I F E // W I N E

Sweet treats Australia has a long tradition of making world-class fortified wines.

As a group, their intensity and sweetness, plus their strength and smoothness, tends to lend itself to the Chinese palate. Made with the addition of alcoholic spirit to table wines either during or after their fermentation, they typically contain at least 17 per cent alcohol by volume, while many contain much more. As such, there are strong cues with the rice wines commonly enjoyed around China today.

By increasing the level of alcohol in a still-fermenting wine, the fermentation is immediately brought to a halt, leaving whatever sugar still remains to lend sweetness to the finished wine. Dry fortifieds are instead made by adding the spirit to wines once they have fermented dry.

It’s not very often you see a vintage year on a bottle of fortified wine. Most are blends of many different years, nurtured by a complex fractional blending system known as a solera or a derivation of it. A solera resembles a stack of barrels in carefully ordered layers with the oldest wine in the barrels at the bottom. Wine is drawn out of the bottom layer for bottling, leaving room for wine from the next layer to be moved down. This initiates a flow-like effect in which wine is moved from each barrel to the layer below all the way up the stack, so that there’s ultimately room in the top layer for the new year’s wine.

Inside the solera, the fortified wine undergoes a slow and controlled oxidation, resulting from the imperceptible passage of oxygen through the pores of the wood and into the wine. Ageing in this fashion mellows and softens flavour, increasing both wine complexity and concentration.

Here are three of Australia’s finest fortified wines, each a perfect antidote to the coming Australian winter.

“Ageing in this fashion mellows and softens flavour, increasing both wine complexity and concentration” TRY 1. Seppeltsfield Solero DP116 Aged Flor Apera A complex, nutty, faintly honeyed and citrusy sherry style that began life as a pale-coloured and racy young Fino style. Finishing with exceptional length and savoury qualities, it’s the perfect winter’s solution to pre-dinner drinks.

2. Penfolds Grandfather Rare Tawny Here’s an iconic Australian example of a traditional tawny port style in which wines from 13 different grape varieties are matured separately for more than 12 years before being introduced to a solerostyle blending system that presently contains vintages from 1960 to 2004.

3. Old Premium Rare Liqueur Muscat (Rutherglen) One of Australia’s most distinctive and definitive wines, this is an artfully blended dessert wine that marries the profound richness and complexity of ancient base wines with enough youthful material to retain freshness and brightness. of comparable quality. A wine to savour, it’s best with chocolates or cheese.

Not all of us are daring enough to pull off a black lip. Even the most fashion-forward can commit a fashion faux pas attempting an all-black lipstick.

For those who want a softer look there’s plenty of choice. A deep shade of plum is perfect for eveningwear, while a dark brown can easily be worn throughout the day. Also tone down the look with a matte shade, rather than gloss. 并不是所有人都有足够胆量挑战黑色双唇，即使 是最前卫的时尚人士也是如此。如果您希望妆容 看上去更加柔和，可以尝试以下几个方法：暗紫红 色唇彩是晚装的绝佳搭配，而深棕色唇彩则可以 伴您度过白天的时光；与珠光唇彩相比，哑光唇 彩更能突显自然柔和的妆容。

名表汇聚

SHOW TIME It’s only the first watch event of the year and our wish list is filling up fast.

We’ve got the run down on the biggest and best releases from SIHH 2016 这只是今年首个钟表展，我们的愿望清单已快被填满。我们在这为您搜罗了 2016SIHH日内瓦国际高级钟表展上最火热的新品以及一切的最新消息

here’s a genuine Supermarine Spitfire plane suspended from the ceiling of the IWC booth, which is designed more like an old-world gentlemen’s club than an exhibition space. Just across the way is the Piaget booth, where 60km worth of crystal-like chains hang, dazzling symmetrically, making it look as if the room is raining diamonds. In the middle of the A. Lange & Sohne exhibition space there’s a floor-to-ceiling, 20-foot replica of its stand-out timepiece of the year: the all-new Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon (which we’ll get stuck into little later). Impressed?

We haven’t even begun to talk about the watches yet.

Welcome to Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie, more commonly referred to as SIHH. This invite-only event – for the professional distribution industry and international media – marks the beginning of the international watch event calendar. For the past 25 years, SIHH has been bringing all the Maisons that fall under the umbrella of the Richemont Group into the one exhibition space – in watch-making capital Geneva, Switzerland – to present new models set to launch throughout the year. As the watch industry continues to grow, each year the event becomes more grand and elaborate. And while the booths may be extravagant and draw in the crowds, at the end of the day it’s the watches presented by the brands that matter most. We’ve picked out the watches you’ll want to add to your collection this year...

IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT

Cartier’s biggest unveiling at this year’s SIHH was its new Drive de Cartier men’s collection. Each of the seven models in the collection feature a new 40mm round cushionshaped case that’s not quite round and not quite square.

Cartier is the master of creating new models that are eccentric but still maintain an underlying tone of elegance, and the company has succeeded again this time round.

The Drive de Cartier collection offers the perfect balance of sophistication and masculinity. The signature Cartier characteristics are still prevalent, with blue hourand minute-hands and Roman numerals featuring on the dial. Then there’s the indisputable presence of the motor car – the guilloche dial resembling the design of a radiator grill, the domed crystal, counter at six o’clock and the winding crown shaped like a bolt.

The aesthetics of this collection may be new, but the mechanics are true to the Cartier brand. Drive de Cartier is powered by three calibres: the 1904-PS MC, the 1904-FU MC for the small complication, and the 9452 MC for the Fine Watchmaking version. All three movements are produced at the Cartier Manufacture.

The finest of pieces from the collection, Drive de Cariter Flying Tourbillon watch, is fitted with the mechanical movement with manual winding, calibre 9452 MC, which is certified Poincon de Geneve – the Geneva Seal.

MASTERS AT WORK

Piaget’s ultra-thin icon Altiplano 38mm, for the fifth consecutive year, highlights the artistic crafts the brand is capable of producing. Watchmaking meets exquisitely detailed artistic designs in three new pieces that make up the Altiplano 38mm Rose collection presented at SIHH 2016. The brand welcomes two new techniques – wood/mother-of-pearl and wood marquetry and gold engraving – to its long list of unique artistry.

For this year’s collection the Yves Piaget rose is the central theme. Altiplano 38mm dial in wood marquetry and Altiplano 38mm dial in white mother-of-pearl and wood marquetry models are crafted by artisan Rose Saneuil. Wood marquetry is a technique that has been used since ancient times to decorate wood objects, by carving the wood and inlaying it with various materials.

The complex ‘element by element’ technique, mastered by only a very few artisans, especially when applied to such a small space as a watch dial, was used to create the blush pink rose. A total of 96 elements are assembled and inlaid within the 32mm diameter, and placed in the watch petal by petal, meaning no two watches are identical. For the mother-of-pearl model wooden petals are seamlessly mixed with petals carved from mother-of-pearl.

Artisan Dick Steenman is the artist behind the Altiplano 38mm engraved gold model. Each petal was sculpted out of 18K pink gold, patiently repeated for each and then placed on the ultra-thin dial, from the centre outwards. Every petal must then be sanded and the folds reinforced for depth. The result is a timepiece that takes more than 30 hours to achieve. Piaget does a fine job of blurring the line between art and watchmaking. >

“ THIS IS A TIMEPIECE THAT ABOUT TIME

It has been nine years since Vacheron Constantin released a new Overseas collection. Watch lovers as a whole have been collectively waiting with anticipation.

The Overseas collection is Vacheron’s ‘sports watch’ line and has its origins in the late 1970s.

At last they have given the people what they want and have introduced an all-new, modern take on their Overseas collection. Five new models (12 references) are equipped with Manufacture movements – including three new calibres: 5200, 5100, 5300 – that embody the new generation of self-winding timepieces.

This is also one of the few such modern sport watch movements to bear the Hallmark of Geneva certification, which, for enthusiasts, is an added treat and sign of both aesthetic quality and mechanical performance. Each new model also features a wonderfully simple and intuitive interchangeable bracelet system, and every watch now comes with three strap options as standard; A smart and contemporary value add from Vacheron Constantin.

BRINGS THE FINEST TRADITIONAL WATCHMAKING CODES INTO THE FUTURE OF TIMEKEEPING“

GOOD SPORT

Montblanc’s TimeWalker Collection has always been a more athletic line, where more technical sportsorientated watch materials (titanium, carbon fibre and diamond-like carbon)have always placed the collection in a contemporary setting. But this year, at SIHH, Montblanc’s unveiling surprised most, by adding a more classical, refined element to the collection.

For the very first time, Montblanc has equipped the urban TimeWalker Collection with the Maison’s exclusive in-house patented ExoTourbillon. The ExoTourbillon concept is one that originated with Montblanc, and the first ExoTourbillon was debuted in the Villeret line, in 2009.

Basically, the difference between an ExoTourbillon and a conventional tourbillon is the absence of the usual enclosing cage; instead, the cage is reduced to a small platform under the balance on which the escape wheel, lever, and lower pivot of the balance all ride on the platform, while the upper balance pivot is under a bridge. This elegant feature is juxtaposed by the bolts and arrows holding it in place on the dial, giving the timepiece that ‘sport-luxe’ feel. The dial also features a multitude of functions, including time display, date, elapsed minutes and seconds.

There are only 100 pieces that make up this limited edition collection. From its modern design to its highperformance movement and mix of high-tech materials, this is a timepiece that brings the finest traditional watchmaking codes into the future of timekeeping. >

BEST-KEPT SECRET

It’s not like A. Lange & Sohne to do anything the easy way. So when the company announced that this year it would launch an updated version of the Datograph Perpetual that would feature a tourbillon, we knew it wasn’t going to be that simple.

What this watch manages to do is piece together three high-end complications, rather than simply placing them on top of, or next to, each other – like lesser manufacturers might. Lange has taken the calibre of the Datograph Up/ Down and coupled it with an instantaneous perpetual calendar with moon phase display and outsized date, with the capacity to advance every single display at once with the push of the 10 o’clock button.

And the brilliance doesn’t stop there. The tourbillon is invisible, for those who aren’t lucky enough to see the back of the case. It sits nestled behind 12 o’clock, and the escapement rotates around its own axis once per minute inside a delicate, filigreed cage. The movement is beautiful, many thanks to the fact it is hand-assembled and handfinished, which a watch-lover can truly appreciate.

As if there wasn’t already enough to gawk over, the dial has also been updated. The 41.5mm black dial teamed with a platinum case and the outsized date, make this new Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon that much more attractive – as does the fact it comes in a limited edition of 100 pieces.

“ THE MAISON HAS CHOSEN TO HONOUR THE MOST SUCCESSFUL COBRA IN HISTORY” RACE AGAINST TIME

Last year saw Baume & Mercier partner with Carroll Shelby Inc. For the non-vintage-car-lovers, Carroll Shelby was an American automotive designer/race-car driver/ entrepreneur, and a highlight of his career was designing the Cobra race car. This year, the Maison has chosen to honour the most successful Cobra in history, the CSX2128 – the 289 Roadster built to conquer the gruelling 1963 12 Hours of Sebring race – with the addition of second edition to the Capeland Shelby Cobra collection.

The Capeland Shelby Cobra 1963 and Capeland Shelby Cobra 1963 Competition feature a 44mm case in polished satin-finished steel and steel version with ultra-resistant black ADLC coating, respectively. The case back is engraved with the name of the collection, as well as the words ‘one out of 1963,’ in reference to the number of limited-edition pieces, and the year which saw Cobra’s first victory at the American Championship.

The dial is reminiscent of the Cobra. The dashboard is represented through asymmetrical chronograph counters.

A deep black dial and transparent twin horizontal racing stripes pay homage to the car, as do the hands that mirror the steering wheel. Cobra’s logo itself is forged onto the seconds hand. There’s a final touch of green light emission Superluminova combined with anti-glare technology throughout the dial for perfect clarity.

FLIGHT OF FANCY

This year’s theme could not be missed thanks to an original Supermarine Spitfire plane suspended in the entryway of the IWC booth. The Pilot watches are being revisited in 2016, and they don’t disappoint. Depending on whom you speak to, IWC’s previous pilot watches have either been too big or too small. But the debate is being settled with the brand new IWC Mark XVIII. Until now, the Mark Pilot Watch – the XVIII – was 41mm in diameter, featured an alimeter-style date display and came on an exotic strap. These features have been cleaned up in 2016. The case is now 40mm, that’s 4mm larger than the Pilots Watch 36 and 4mm smaller than the new Big Pilot. And there is now a single date display on a black dial attached to a vintage-style Santoni calf strap, really embracing its Pilot heritage of being a watch that’s easy to digest visually. With this watch, you can say IWC has returned to the pure, function-driven Pilot watches of the past.

这 款表 成 功 地 将三 大高端复杂 装 置 组 合在一 起，而 不是 像 一 些小 的 生 产 商 那 样 简单 地 堆 叠或 排列 起 来。朗 格 采用 Datograph Up/Down机芯，搭配具月相 显示和大日历显示的瞬跳万年历，而且可通 过10点钟位置的快速校正按钮同时更新所 有显示。不过，精彩远远不止于此。 如 果 您 不能 亲 眼 看 看 表 壳 的 背 面，就 无法欣赏到陀飞轮。陀飞轮位于12点位置 的 后 面，在 使 用 金 银 细 线 工 装 饰 的 精 致 框 架内，擒纵装 置（内部 有无卡度游丝平 衡摆轮）每 分钟沿着轴心自转 一周，其旋 转动作和偏心砝码可抵消擒纵装置的 重力。 如果您觉得这还不够，新款腕表的表盘 也会让您眼前一亮。41.5毫米黑色表盘搭 配铂金表壳，再加上大日历显示，让这款全 新的Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon 腕表更具吸引力。限量100只。

飞行员酷炫之旅 万国表展台的入口处悬着一架原装超级马林 喷火战斗机，时刻提醒着参观展览的人今年 的主题。2016年万国表重新推出的飞行员腕 表，绝对不会令您失望。人们常常争论说万国 表之前的飞行员腕表要么过大，要么过小。在 万国表推出全新马克十八飞行员腕表（Mark XVIII）之后，这一争论终于得以平息。 之前的马克十八飞行员腕表直径为41毫 米，集日期显示、高度计于一体，搭配一条独 特的表带。而在2016年的新款中，这些特征已 毫无踪影。新款的表壳直径为40毫米，比飞行 员自动腕表36（Pilots Watch 36）大4毫米， 比新款大型飞行员腕表（Big Pilot）小4毫米。 此外，新款马克十八飞行员腕表的日期单独显 示在一个黑色表盘上，搭配复古的Santoni小 牛皮表带，既传承了飞行员腕表的特质，又十 分地优雅美观。由此可见，万国表已经重新回 归过去纯粹的功能驱动型飞行员腕表。 159

Novak Djokovic The world’s No.1 in men’s singles tennis and Seiko ambassador, Novak Djokovic, shares how he beats jet lag, what he can’t leave home without, and his must-have watch... 男单网球世界冠军兼精工品牌大使与我们分享他是如何对抗时 差、出门不能缺少的东西以及他的必备腕表……

What do you never leave home without? 您出门的时候必须带些什么？

You will be surprised, but I never leave home without a bottle of water with lemon, ginger and peppermint leaves in it. I’m always hydrating myself as I lose lots of water throughout my workouts. 你绝对不会相信，我每次出门必须带一瓶柠檬、 生姜和薄荷叶泡的水。在我训练大量缺水的时候 用来补水。

What’s your routine on the plane? 您在飞机上通常会做些什么？

That’s my most productive time and I always use it to write in my diary or to read a book, and watch a good movie. 这是我最有效率的时间，我通常写日记、看书或 者看电影。

What’s the best approach you’ve found to beating jet lag before competing? 您觉得在比赛前对抗时差最有效的方法是什么？

The moment I get on the plane, I set my watch to the time zone I’m going to. According to that, I chose when and how long to sleep. I need a few days to adjust, but being active helps a lot. 我一上飞机，就会把手表调到目的地的时区。这 样，我就能知道什么时候睡觉以及睡多久。我需要 几天时间调节，但是保持活跃的状态也很有帮助。

Which Grand Slam do you enjoy playing the most? 您最喜欢打哪个大满贯？

If I have to pick one only, I guess it would be the Australian open. I won my first Grand Slam there, and every time I go back there I 162

have that wonderful memory. I guess it will always feel special being there. And after all, I have won the most titles there. 如果非要选择一个的话，我想应该是澳大利亚网 球公开赛。我在那获得了职业生涯中的第一个大 满贯头衔，每次回到那片场地，都会给我带来非 常美好的回忆。我想那会一直是个特别的存在， 毕竟，我大多数的冠军头衔都是在那获得的。

When in a foreign city, for leisure, do you prefer eating at restaurants or sampling local street food?

区。如果他们没有和我在一起，我通常会非常细 心，不会错过他的起床时间或睡觉时间。得益于科 技的发展，我能够在忙碌的行程中关注这些小事。

在异国他乡的闲暇时间，您比较喜欢去餐厅吃饭 还是品尝当地街边美食？

What do you like about going to Melbourne and playing the Australian Open?

I used to be adventurous, but not anymore. I’m very careful about the food I eat because, thanks to my food choices, I get to have all the energy I need to play tennis at such a high level.

对于去墨尔本参加澳大利亚网球公开赛，哪些方 面是您喜欢的？

我曾经非常爱冒险尝试新 食物，但是现在不会 了。我对吃的食物非常谨慎，我需要从食物中获 取所需的所有能量，以便能够保持高水平的网球 竞技状态。我只在我熟悉菜单或者了解所用食材 的餐厅吃饭。

我喜欢这儿的活力、这儿的人们以及这个国家对 于体育运动的热情，这让我想起了我的祖国。

How do you keep track of the timezone you’re in when on tour?

I’m biased, but I’m quite in love with the limited edition collection of watches by Seiko that were inspired by our partnership. It’s the Novak Djokovic Seiko Astron GPS Solar Chronograph.

巡回赛时，您如何了解您所在的时区？

The most important time zone for me is where my son and wife are. If they are with me, then I don’t bother thinking about other time zones.

If they are not, then I’m always careful not to miss his wake-up time or bed time and all those little routines that I can catch up with on the go thanks to technology. 对我来说，我儿子和妻子所在的时区才是最重要 的。如果他们和我在一起，那么我不会考虑其他时

I like the energy, the people. I like that it is a sports nation. It reminds me a lot of my country.

What’s your must-have watch right now? 对您而言，现在不可或缺的是哪款表？

我非常偏爱精工为我们之间的合作关系而定制的 限量版腕表，也就是诺瓦克·德约科维奇限量款 SEIKO ASTRON GPS卫星定位太阳电能腕表。

What’s your motto? 您的座右铭？

Laugh as long as you breathe, love as long as you live. 爱着、笑着活出每一天。
