o kick off the China-Australia Year of Tourism 2017, China National Tourist Office proudly hosted the official opening ceremony and concert at one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks, the Sydney Opera House. Over 1,500 domestic and international guests attended the event. As it is the year of tourism between both countries, we celebrate the beauty and modern masterpieces each has to offer. In Shanghai we look at the avant-garde buildings that have quickly become synonymous with the city skyline (pages 52-61). As another year wraps up, we round up the best of what Beijing has to offer – food, hotel rooms, chefs and more (pages 74-81). We hope you join us in celebrating this significant year for tourism between both China and Australia. You can join in on special celebrations that will be hosted around Australia, details of which will be posted to the official China-Australia Year of Tourism website: cayot.com.au.

n 60 years, China Eastern Airlines has grown from a small aviation company, with just seven vessels making up its first fleet, to become one of the most recognisable airlines in the world. In 2016, we transported over 100 million passengers, in 562 vessels, to more than 1,000 domestic and international destinations. To kick things off in 2017, we’re thrilled to announce that our three weekly direct flights from Sydney to Wuhan have commenced – as of January – meaning China Eastern Airlines flies to the most Chinese cities directly from Australia, with 44 weekly flights departing Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Beijing MUST SEE

New and improved

Trends with benefits

Sureño, the mainstay restaurant at Opposite House, has been the backbone of the boutique hotel for close to a decade. However, it has recently done away with the dishes for which it became known. Don’t get too worried, though – we think it’s even better. Gone are the pizzas and tiramisu, replaced by a stripped-back and more pure Mediterranean menu.

New chef Talib Hudda, previously of The Georg, has pushed the ingredients and essential flavours in a more authentic Mediterranean direction. The interior has remained mostly untouched, but it’s worth checking in again to see how the menu has been shaken up. theoppositehouse.com

Held twice a year in Beijing, the MercedesBenz China Fashion Week has become China’s largest fashion event. Over 20 years, China Fashion Week has become the premier platform for brands to promote their originality and new fashion trends. Autumn/ Winter collections will be showcased.

March 25-31, chinafashionweek.org

The show goes on

Louvre story A slice of Paris will soon hit Beijing. Until March 3, the National Museum of China is playing host to some treasures from the Louvre Museum collection in an exhibition outlining the history of the world’s largest museum. The show, Inventions of Louvre, will have paintings, sculptures and antiques from French masters from the Louvre’s eight departments. January 13 – March 31, chnmuseum.cn 26

Beijing’s Broadway musical scene is growing each year after the success of recent runs of Phantom of the Opera and Into the Woods. In May, a 10-day run of beloved modern musical Wicked will show at one of Beijing’s most respected theatres, Tianqiao Performing Arts Center. With a cast of 70, awardwinning costumes and a lavish set, it’s no wonder Wicked has become one of the world’s most popular musicals. Tickets start at RMB 100. damai.cn

Colourful history Each year, in April, Yuyuantan Park becomes a sea of pink and white cherry blossoms consuming the entire space.

The 2,000 cherry blossoms are only in full bloom for a week or two, but draw quite the crowd. During the Cherry Blossom Festival, tickets into the park are RMB 10, a bargain for this fleeting spectacle.

Master class

After first launching in 1996, the Shanghai Biennale has continued to grow into the most influential Biennale in Asia. Housed inside the Power Station of Art, one of Shanghai’s largest gallery spaces, the 11th Shanghai Biennale changes its theme every two years to help attract and celebrate both local and international talent. This year, the phrase “Why not ask again” has allowed artists to twist and manoeuvre this query to explore their connection between urban life, contemporary art and the public. The Biennale runs until March 12. shanghaibiennale.org

Parisian paradise

The Chapterhouse Theatre Company has made a point of bringing its plays to the international stage in recent years, and now it’s Shanghai’s turn. For three nights only from March 24-26, Emily Bronte’s classic Wuthering Heights will be on show at the Shanghai Grand Theatre. This adaptation from writer Laura Turner tells the story of love and separation against a Gothic English backdrop.

It’s a story already well-loved, and now you can fall in love all over again. March 24-26, damai.cn 28

Sounds of the city For one night only at the Shanghai Symphony Hall, the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra led by famed conductor Long Yu will be exploring music from the Forbidden City to the Hutongs of Peking. The orchestra will be treating you to music and symphonic poems from masters such as Aaron Avshalomov and Felix Mendelssohn. Tickets from RMB 80. March 17, shsymphony.com

Capella is set to open its latest five-star shikumenstyle villa resort in Shanghai in March. Blending Shanghai’s heritage with Western influence, the new luxury resort in Jian Ye Li looks to revitalise the 1930s shikumen cluster into an ultra-luxe Parisian estate. With 55 villas, 40 luxurious residences, a French brasserie and an award-winning spa, Capella has gone all out in style. Located nearby is the tranquil Yu Gardens, Longhua Temple and the always-popular shopping destination, Nanjing Road.

Xiamen

1 South Putuo Temple

Located on China’s south-east coast, Xiamen is famed for its stunning seascape. Here are eight of the top stops you can make on a visit to this Fujian city...

2 Gulangyu Island

IN EIGHT STOPS

Bird's-eye view of Gulangyu Island

A famous Buddhist temple founded in the Tang dynasty that is very popular among Fujianese. Many from South East Asia consider the temple as a pilgrimage site and visit frequently.

What makes this place so unique is that it’s a pedestrian-only island just off the south-eastern coast of China. Spend countless hours exploring the colonialstyle architecture, myriad of museums and natural beauty.

3 Xiamen Shimao Strait Plaza Inspired by the grace and simplicity of Xiamen’s city flower, the triangularshaped Plum Blossom, this mixed-use development represents both the city’s unique culture and its rapid economic development.

4 Wanshi Botanical Garden More than 1.8 million trees and over 4,000 types of flora make up the Wanshi Botanical Gardens. It’s considered one of the country’s most captivating gardens.

5 Shuzhuang Garden You’ll find Shuzhuang Garden on the Gulangyu Island with its breathtaking views of rolling hills and the South China Sea. There are also freshwater pools, waterfalls and beachside cliffs to discover.

6 Bailuzhou Park

Xiamen Shimao Strait Plaza

South Putuo Temple

Named after the Fujian provincial bird, Bailuzhou Park directly translates to “egret island park”. Land and water areas are connected by winding bridges – in total, there are 13 bridges in the park, built in different sizes and shapes.

7 Xiamen University The campus at Xiamen University looks more like an island resort than a university.

Even if you don’t attend the school, the beautiful grounds make it worth the visit.

8 Hulishan Cannon Fort A key national historic and cultural site, Hulishan Cannon Fort was built in 1894 to protect the island from invasion.

The highlight is the Krupp Cannon, which weighs 87 tonnes and has a firing range of 19 kilometres.

寿司汉堡

Hybrid theory A new food fad has hit Sydney and it has everyone asking the question: is it sushi or a burger?

悉尼掀起美食新潮流，所有人都在问同 一个问题：那到底是寿司还是汉堡？

36

Foodies love nothing more than a new hybrid food. Need proof? Just take a look at the exploding popularity of cronuts, doughnut ice cream cones and ice cream sandwiches, to name just a few. And now, thanks to one of Australia’s leading chefs, Chase Kojima, of Sokyo, we have Gojima, the home of the allnew rice burger: a pairing of sushi and burger.

“Rice burgers are an exciting food concept, offering guests a contemporary taste of Japan that’s unique and delicious, and we’re taking them to the next level,” Kojima says. Replace the bread bun with his signature sushi rice and nori bun, add some cheese, tomato and a beef patty – or two – and there you have it. “One of the signature burgers is a remix of the classic hamburger, the Gojima cheeseburger. It is a combination of 100% all-natural Angus beef, melted American cheese, tomato, Japanese pickles, onion, lettuce and Gojima special sauce," he says. We’re betting this will have Sydney’s food enthusiasts lining up in hordes. thestar.com.au

Audrey Wilkinson’s vineyards boast the Brokenback Ranges as a backdrop

澳大利亚酒庄

Once the weather cools down, winemakers across Australia gear up for harvest season. We round up our 10 favourite wineries to visit while the vineyards and grapes are at their peak... 随着天气日渐转凉，澳大利亚各地的 酒庄迎来了收获的季节。趁着葡萄园 正美，葡萄正熟，与我们一起领略澳 大利亚十佳酒庄的风采吧。

#1 Audrey Wilkinson Winery Hunter Valley, NSW The Hunter Valley has more cellar doors than any other wine region in Australia.

After first setting up tents on the current site in 1866, Audrey Wilkinson was one of the first to lay the foundations for the Hunter Valley. Many of the vines across the 109-hectare vineyard are entrenched in the long history of the Hunter, and it’s likely why so many of their semillons have been so well-awarded over the years. Rated as a five-star winery by wine critic James Halliday, Audrey Wilkinson’s cellar door is just as iconic as its wines. Sitting high on the Brokenback Ranges, the views over the

paddocks of the region beat anything else in the Hunter. audreywilkinson.com.au 在澳大利亚的所有葡萄酒产区中，猎人谷的 酒窖数量独占鳌头。1866年，奥德丽·维尔 金森（AUDREY WILKINSON）在如今的葡 萄园所在地支起第一座帐篷，成为猎人谷 传奇的先驱之一。在109公顷的葡萄园中， 许多株葡萄藤曾经见证了猎人谷的悠久历 史，古藤上结出的赛美蓉葡萄才会多年来屡 获殊荣。著名葡萄酒评论家詹姆斯·哈利德 （JAMES HALLIDAY）把奥德丽维尔金森酒 庄评为五星级酒庄，而其酒窖和葡萄酒一样 经典。酒窖位于断背山脉（BROKENBACK RANGES）的一个山顶上，于此处凭栏远眺片 片牧场，这副美景在猎人谷中无可匹及。

Tyrrell’s Wines hosts daily tours of its underground cellar

#2 Bimbadgen Hunter Valley, NSW The commanding bell tower at Bimbadgen stands high on a hilltop looking over the Brokenback and Barrington Ridges. This iconic structure, with deep roots in the region, has drawn many wine fans – but when you’re in wine country, it’s the wine that makes you stay. For 40 years, five-star Bimbadgen has specialised in producing semillon, shiraz, chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon, with a handful of signature standouts. Another plus is the first-rate restaurant housed at Bimbadgen. Esca’s fine-dining setting and contemporary menu makes for a perfect pairing with its selection of Bimbadgen wines. bimbadgen.com.au 毕巴乔 酒 庄 威 严的钟 塔高高矗立在山 顶 之 上 ，俯 视 着 断 背 山 脉 和 巴 林 顿 山 （BARRINGTON RIDGES）。这是当地的一 座标志性建筑，有着悠久的历史，吸引了许 多葡萄酒爱好者，但是来到葡萄酒之乡，真 正让人流连忘返的还是美酒。40年来，被评 为五星级酒庄的毕巴乔酒庄专注于酿制赛 美蓉、西拉、霞多丽和赤霞珠等葡萄酒，其 中不乏精品名作。毕巴乔酒庄的一流餐厅 ESCA也为其增色不少，高级用餐环境和当 代风格菜单完美搭配了精选的毕巴乔酒庄 美酒。

“When you’re in wine country, it’s the wine that makes you stay”

#3 Tyrrell’s Wines Hunter Valley, NSW One of the oldest, largest and most well-known wineries in the region is Tyrrell’s Wines. This fifth-generation winery embracing multi-generational winemaking is home to some of Australia’s most awarded wines including the Vat 1 semillon. First produced in 1963, it’s a tightly structured white with a breadth of citrus flavours. Tyrrell’s Wines manages over 500 acres of vineyards in the Hunter alone, with the original slab hut built in 1858 – complete with rusted tin roof and 1940s cars parked out front – still standing and acting as the cellar door. It’s open every day for tours through the underground cellar. tyrrells.com.au

Barossa Valley, SA According to famed Australian wine critic James Halliday, Seppeltsfield is “The most historic winery and greatest showpiece of the Barossa Valley.”

Some 420 acres of vineyard stretch along the Western Ridge of the valley, producing some of the region’s most well-known vintages. Surrounded by a small settlement, Seppeltsfield is a haven of manicured gardens, out-of-place palm trees and heritage buildings acting as the cellar door and restaurant. Specialising in fortified wines, Seppeltsfield also offers a tapas-style pairing menu at FINO Restaurant for $35pp to match with six tastings. seppeltsfield.com.au 著名的澳大利亚葡萄酒评论家詹姆斯·哈 利德评价沙普酒庄为“历史最悠久的酒庄， 芭萝莎山谷最伟大的景观”。420英亩的葡 萄园沿着芭萝莎山谷的西山脊（WESTERN RIDGE）延伸，曾经酿造出这一地区最知名 的优质葡萄酒。沙普酒庄位于一片居住地中 央，遍布着精心修剪的花园，移植来的棕榈 树和古老的建筑，酒窖和餐厅则错落其中。 沙普酒庄以加强葡萄酒闻名，FINO餐厅还 提供西班牙餐前小吃风格的配餐，只需35分 澳元便可品鉴6种葡萄酒。

Bimbadgen’s finedining restaurant, Esca, complements the wine on offer to perfection

天瑞酒庄是猎人谷历史最悠久、规模最大、 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500多英亩的 葡萄园，而1858年酒庄初建时的锡顶小木 屋仍然完好如初，如今已改作酒窖，20世纪 40年代的汽车就停放在门前。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。

“Artisans is able to spotlight smaller winemakers, highlighting subregional winemaking at its best” #6 Artisans of Barossa Barossa Valley, SA You could say that Artisans of Barossa is cheating, as it has six individual boutique wineries under its roof. By combining some of the best small batch producers from the region, Artisans is able to give a spotlight to the smaller winemakers, helping to highlight sub-regional winemaking at its best.

The six individual wineries, each with different winemaking styles, represent the breadth and diversity of the Barossa.

Formed in 2006, the group has worked together to share knowledge and chart new territory. Chef Mark McNamara also joined the team in 2013, creating tasting plates to pair specifically with

the wines on hand to enjoy in the quaint and comfortable tasting room. artisansofbarossa.com 其实芭萝莎手工艺者酒庄并不算严格意义 上的酒庄，而是由6个独立精品酒庄组成。 芭萝莎手工艺者酒庄把当地最为出色的小 批量葡萄酒酿酒师联合在一起，提高了小 规模酿酒师的知名度，在最大程度上促进 了次区域酿酒业的发展。这6个独立的酒庄 各自拥有与众不同的酿酒风格，代表着芭萝 莎地区酿酒业的广泛性和多样性。自20 06 年创建以来，芭萝莎手工艺者酒庄的成员们 始终携手共进，致力于分享知识和开拓创 新。2013年，主厨马克·麦克纳马拉（MARK MCNAMARA）加入了团队，创造出专门搭 配酒庄葡萄酒的赏味菜品，非常适合在古雅 舒适的赏味厅中品尝。

#7 Voyager Estate Margaret River, WA Voyager Estate works under the philosophy that its wine is only as good as the conditions in which the grapes are grown. Since being established in 1978, Voyager has placed a strong emphasis on its viticulture and the science of grape growing. The team here is always more than willing to take you through the inner sanctum of production to share the full field-to-glass story.

Underground, you’ll find Australia’s largest barrel cellar; meanwhile, above ground, you can indulge in some of the best local tasting plates, which makes for a fun way to learn more about the region and its wine. voyagerestate.com.au 航行家酒庄的理念是葡萄酒的优质程度取 决于葡萄的生长环境。自1978年创建以来， 航行家酒庄便把葡萄栽培和葡萄种植科学 作为重中之重。航行家酒庄的员工随时准备 着带您参观酿制葡萄酒的密室，与您分享关 于葡萄酒生产的一切故事。您可以到酒庄地 下参观澳大利亚最大的酒窖，再回到地面餐 厅品尝最棒的当地特色美食，在愉快的游览 过程中进一步了解这里的风土人情和美酒 佳肴。

#8 Leeuwin Estate Margaret River, WA While others on this list boast about their ancient vines and historic buildings, Leeuwin embraces modernity. As one of the founding wineries in the Margaret River in 1979, its wines and tasting plates are all about innovation and new-world winemaking. This second generation winery has become one of the most well-known in the region, and rightly so.

Its Art Series Chardonnay was described

by James Halliday as “Australia’s finest example of Chardonnay,” so surely they are onto something here. Combining food, art, music and wine, Leeuwin Estate is more than just a cellar door. leeuwinestate.com.au 其他酒庄以古老的葡萄藤和历史悠久的建 筑著称，露纹酒庄却因其现代特色而闻名。 露纹酒庄始于1979年，是玛格丽特河产区最 早的酒庄之一，其葡萄酒和赏味餐品的核心 在于创新和新世界葡萄酒。酒庄经过改造升 级，已经当之无愧地成为了区域内最知名的 酒庄之一。詹姆斯·哈利德评价酒庄出产的 ART SERIES霞多丽葡萄酒为“澳大利亚霞多 丽葡萄酒的最佳代表”。他们显然是有真本 事的。露纹酒庄集美食、艺术、音乐和美酒 于一身，动人之处可不仅仅限于酒窖。 41

#9 Goaty Hill Wines

Tasmania’s relatively cool climate makes for a very different style of wine

Tamar Valley, TAS The small island state of Tasmania is known for producing distinctly different wines thanks to its cooler, southerly climate. Pinot noir, chardonnay and sauvignon blanc thrive in this region which has given rise to many smaller, boutique winemakers setting up shop.

Named after the rocky hill found in the centre of the vineyard itself, Goaty Hill was found by two families looking to celebrate the Tasmanian climate and create something distinctive. The team here has one goal: to share as much knowledge about wine as possible, and this is always made better when paired with a tasting plate of local Tassie produce and cheese. goatyhill.com 小小的岛州塔斯马尼亚州地处澳大利亚南 部，气候凉爽，出产的葡萄酒风格独特，声名 远播。这里盛产黑比诺、霞多丽和长相思， 许多小规模精品葡萄酒商纷纷在此开店。羊 山酒庄以葡萄园中央凸起的岩石山丘命名， 两个创始家族希望借助塔斯马尼亚州的气候 创造出与众不同的葡萄酒。羊山酒庄的人们 拥有一个共同的目标，那就是尽其所能分享 葡萄酒知识。当然了，酒庄提供的当地特产 食材和奶酪让这一体验变得更加美好。

#10 Dominique Portet Yarra Valley, VIC You can’t get a much more classic, family-oriented winery than Dominique Portet in the Yarra Valley. Headed by Dominique himself, a ninth-generation winemaker, Dominique Portet was established in 2000 after he decided the Yarra Valley had the most similar conditions to his native Bordeaux.

Dominique aimed to bring his French roots – dating back to the early 1700s – to Australia, to create wine in an environment where he could respect tradition. With an open mind to contemporary practices, Dominique Portet aims to combine the old-world and new-world style of wine. While the entire range is masterful, it’s the Fontaine Rosé, a summery blend of merlot, shiraz and cabernet sauvignon, that has had critics raving. dominiqueportet.com 在亚拉河谷，多米尼克波泰酒庄是最为经典 的家族式酒庄。多米尼克（DOMINIQUE）是 家族里的第9代酿酒师，他认为亚拉河谷的环 境与他的家乡波尔多最为相似，于是在2000 年创建了这座酒庄并亲自负责管理。多米尼克 的法国血统可以追溯到18世纪初，他致力于 把这份血统带到澳大利亚，在一个能够致敬 传统的环境中酿造精美的葡萄酒。多米尼克 波泰酒庄对当代工艺持有开放的态度，旨在把 旧世界和新世界葡萄酒融为一体。酒庄的全 部酒品都颇具匠心，但是梅洛、西拉和赤霞珠 混酿的FONTAINE ROSÉ最受评论家们青睐。

Hotel Lindrum, in Melbourne, has about 100 years of history to its name. Not always serving as a hotel – in the 1920s it was the headquarters for the Herald; in the 40s offices for Verona Press; and in the 70s and 80s it was Lindrum’s Billiard Centre, set up by the Lindrum family, which produced four generations of billiards champions and snooker players. But it wasn’t until 1999 that it came to be what it is today. The exterior still maintains its early 1900s facade, but the interiors of rich wood furnishings combined with classic polished floors and heavy woven carpets create an updated old-school feel. There’s a total of 59 rooms, including eight junior suites. Its signature restaurant, Felt (named after the felt on a billiard table) serves seasonal Modern Australian fare, as well as high tea on weekends in the early afternoon. From $210 per night, hotellindrum.com.au 林多姆酒店位于墨尔本，而林多姆这一名称至今 已有约百年的历史。但它最初并不是酒店，2 0 世 纪20年代，它曾是《先驱报》（HERALD）的总部 所在地；40年代则是VERONA PRESS的办公室 所在地；在70年代和80年代，这里由林多姆家族 打造为林多姆台球中心（LINDRUM'S BILLIARD CENTRE），林多姆家族曾培养出4代台球冠军和 斯诺克球手。但直到1999年，这里才被打造为如今 的林多姆酒店。酒店外部始终保持着20世纪初的 建筑风格，但内部丰富的木制家具搭配传统的抛 光地板和厚重的编织地毯，营造出一种赋有全新 意义的古典感觉。酒店共有59间客房，包括8间精 致套房。您可以在其标志性餐厅FELT（因台球桌毛 毡而得名）享用澳大利亚现代应季美食，在下午茶 的芬芳中度过周末午后时光。 46

上海的天际线已经成为这座城市发展的实证，特伦特·凡·德尔·亚赫特 （Trent van der Jagt)带我们探寻上海一些最高的、最宏伟的建筑……

Shanghai’s skyline has become a symbol of the city’s success. Trent van der Jagt explores its tallest and grandest structures...

SHANGHAI

S

hanghai loves to break a world record with each new mega structure in its ever-expanding skyline. Nothing new, it seems, can rise in the city without being some sort of ground-breaking technical and engineering masterpiece. It’s a testament to what this modern city is capable of. But, in Shanghai’s financial district by the Bund, four buildings in particular burst above all the rest each, as iconic as the next and all forming a part of the city’s rich legacy.

SHANGHAI TOWER

Currently, the most exciting and ambitious addition to the city skyline is the recently opened Shanghai Tower. Work began on this behemoth back in 2008 and took almost eight years to complete. Measuring 632 metres in height, this 127-storey ‘supertall’ tower twists elegantly above the city, dwarfing the surrounding edifices into toy models by comparison.

As China’s new tallest building, completed in 2016, it was bound to smash most world records as well. Unfortunately, it can only lay claim to being the second tallest in the world – the tallest being the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, which measures another 192 metres. But when it comes to structures like these, such distinctions can seem almost like splitting hairs; the Shanghai Tower is sure to still impress. >

上海中心大厦

目前，上海城市天际线中最激动人心、最宏 伟壮观的建筑当属于近期开放的上海中心 大厦。上海中心大厦规模庞大，于2008年开 工，历时近8年竣工。这座127层的“超级高 楼”总高为632米，优雅地盘旋于城市上空。 相较之下，周边的高楼俨然成了玩具模型。 作为中国新近第1高楼，上海中心大厦同时打 破了大多数世界纪录。令人遗憾的是，它只能 自称为世界第2高楼，世界第1高楼——迪拜 哈利法塔（Burj Khalifa）比其高出了192米。 > 53

SHANGHAI

On the record front, the Shanghai Tower boasts a list as long as it is tall, including the world’s fastest elevators (capable of travelling 64.8kmh), highest restaurant, highest hotel and highest viewing platform at 118 floors. However, the most important record is that it’s the world’s greenest tower and is seen as an example of China’s push forward into a greener future.

How do you even make a structure of this size green? With over 200 wind turbines at the top of the structure,that’s how. The turbines power up to 10% of the building, while the outside is designed to collect and re-use rainwater. Additionally, doublelayered glass and a combined heat and cooling system help maintain temperature. Overall, the structure’s multiple energy-saving implementations cut 34,000 metric tonnes from its carbon footprint each year, according to its designers.

Designed by American architecture firm Gensler, responsible for some of the world’s most iconic structures – with Chinese architect Jun Xia leading the charge – the building is estimated to have cost over US$1.6 billion. Designed with a twisting form to encapsulate a dragon emerging from the earth, its flourishing form actually helps with dissipating and catching wind. Inside, nine separate areas have been designed for atriums, gardens, restaurants, retail spaces and office buildings. There’s plenty of space to go around, but as of yet, most of the inside is still empty and unfinished.

Tickets for entry are RMB 180, where you’ll be treated to a speedy ride to the viewing deck, an open, modern space with tilting support beams the width of your arm span allowing plenty of room to take in the sprawling miniature city below.

JIN MAO TOWER

Next on the list of Shanghai’s supertall skyscrapers is Jin Mao Tower, its third tallest building. However, being just the third tallest shouldn’t put you off: with 88 storeys and 420 metres, that’s certainly no mean feat. From 1999 to 2007, Jin Mao Tower was in fact the tallest building in China before being knocked off its perch in 2008. While still impressive in its own right, the structure shows how far architectural design and engineering have come over the last decade. Where the Shanghai Tower gleams and twists gracefully, Jin Mao Tower takes a more rigid, straight, up-and-down approach with sharp, geometric edges in a pagoda style, creating the look of building blocks.

但这仅仅是我们面对如此巨型建筑时的斤斤 计较，上海中心大厦依然能够给人们留下深刻 印象。 说到纪录，上海中心大厦纪录名单的长度 几乎和它的高度一样长：世界上最快的电梯 （运行速度可达64.8千米/时）、最高的餐厅、 最高的酒店以及位于第118层的最高的观景 平台。然而，最为重要的是其作为世界上最 环保的高楼，被视为中国推进绿色环保未来的 典范。 但是怎样才能使如此规模的建筑做到绿色 环保？建筑顶层安装了200余台风力发电机， 其用途显而易见。风力发电机的发电量可达建 筑用电的10%，同时其外形设计也有利用于雨 水的收集和再利用，而双层玻璃和冷热联供系 统则有助于保持温度。总体说来，该建筑所采 用的多重节能设计每年能够减少34,000立方 公吨的碳排放量。 上海中心大厦由美国Gensler建筑设计事 务所设计，他们曾经设计过世界上一些最具标 志性建筑，同时由中国建筑师夏军担任主设计 师，建筑造价估计为16亿美元。建筑设计为一 条破土而出、盘旋上升的巨龙，其蓬勃向上的 形式实际上有助于散热和利用风能。建筑内部 设计有9个独立区域，集中庭、花园、餐厅、商 铺和办公楼于一体。内部有很多空间可供游 览，但到目前为止，大部分的内部空间仍然闲 置，并未打造完成。 上海中心大厦的门票为180元，您可乘坐电 梯迅速升至观景平台，开放的现代空间与间隔 为臂展宽度的倾斜支撑梁柱相结合，为您打造 足够空间，一览脚下蔓延伸展的微型城市。

Right: The Jin Mao Tower observation deck may not be Shanghai’s highest, but it still offers dizzying views of the city below

Designed by American architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the design mantra was to combine elements of traditional Chinese architecture found in ancient temples and pagodas with a more European Gothic feel – similar to many of the French-inspired structures found on the Bund.

Although noticeably older with less glitz and glamour than the Shanghai Tower, travelling up the super-fast elevator (9.1 m/sec) to the 360-degree viewing platform on the 88th floor still gives that same sense of awe as the other buildings, but from a new perspective. Looking down onto the city still gives it a playset feel, while looking up at the taller structures offers a new sense of dizzying scale to what the newer buildings have achieved in the meantime.

Jin Mao Tower is most notably home to the Grand Hyatt Regency, a five-star hotel and one of the city’s most luxury stays. As the Grand Hyatt’s flagship property in China, you can expect all the trimmings.

Occupying the 53rd floor to the 87th floor, you can also expect some of the best bedroom views in the city, among high-end restaurants and bars such as Club Jin Mao and Cloud 9.

Tickets to the viewing platform on the 88th floor cost RMB 120, and open daily until 9:30pm. >

SHANGHAI

SHANGHAI WORLD FINANCIAL CENTER Until 2015, the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC) took the trophy for tallest building in Shanghai – and China – at 492 metres, before it was toppled by its younger brother, the Shanghai Tower.

Its iconic bottle-opener design has solidified it in Shanghainese culture as a nod to the city’s design ingenuity. Currently the ninth-tallest building in the world, the SWFC rounds out the three tallest structures in the city, making them the world’s first adjacent grouping of supertall skyscrapers.

Taking a neo-futurism design approach, American architect firm Kohn Pedersen Fox originally planned to kick off the revolutionary structure in 1997, however the Asian financial crisis halted production, allowing the group to further develop designs and overcome controversies. The clean lines and curves leading to the trapezoidal peak helped reduce stress and wind pressure, while the simplistic approach kept costs down and structural integrity up.

Similar to the other towers, the SWFC is home to hundreds of shops and offices and originally aimed to become a magnet for the world’s finances.

Equipped with top-end financial centres, a luxury hotel (Park Hyatt) and cultural and art exhibitions, the SWFC has been able to establish a firm foothold in Shanghai’s – and the world’s – business culture.

The SWFC is the only tower to have three separate viewing platforms, each covering the different levels of the tower’s peak. Although you can purchase tickets for the different floors, a ticket for RMB 180 will cover all three and give you access to the 100th floor. > 中国内地第3高楼——金茂大厦。尽管而此， 您也不会对第3高楼的头衔失去兴趣，因为 建造88层、420米高的高楼绝非易事。1999 至2007年间，金茂大厦在被取代之前一直是 中国的第一高楼，而其独有的仪式感依然令 人印象深刻，整座建筑展示了过去十年中建 筑设计和工程的发展潜能。当上海中心大厦 优雅地盘旋于空中、熠熠生辉时，金茂大厦 则用更加严苛、笔直的表现形式，融合宝塔 式建筑锋利的几何边缘，打造出独特的建筑 外观。 金茂大厦由美国SOM建筑设计事务所 （Skidmore, Owings and Merrill）设计，其 设计原则将古代庙宇和宝塔中的传统中式建 筑元素和与外滩法国风格建筑相类似的欧洲 哥特式风格相融合。 尽管与上海中心大厦相比，金茂大厦明显 显得更为古老，缺少了些许奢华和魅力，但 是乘坐超快速电梯（9.1米/秒）升至位于第88 层的360度观景平台，仍然能够从全新角度 为您带来与其他建筑相同的震撼体验。俯瞰 脚下，整座城市依然宛如玩具一般；抬头仰 望，则让人为更新的建筑所达到的高度叹为 观止。 金茂大厦最引人注目的便是君悦酒店

（Grand Hyatt Regency），这间五星级酒 店是上海最为奢华的酒店之一。作为君悦酒 店在中国的旗舰店，这里所有的装饰都如您 所期。酒店位于金茂大厦的第53-87层，您也 可以在金茂俱乐部（Club Jinmao）和九重 天酒廊（Cloud 9）等高端餐厅及酒吧中享受 上海绝佳的城市景观。 金茂大厦88层观景厅的门票为120元，营 业时间至晚上9:30。

上海环球金融中心 截止至2015，上海环球金融中心仍然以492 米的高度位列上海第一高楼，但却被上海中 心大厦轻松超越。标志性的开瓶器设计深受 人们喜爱，成为这座城市建筑设计创意的一 个见证，巩固了其在上海文化中的地位。目 前，作为世界第9高楼及上海第3高楼，共同 打造了世界上第一个超高层摩天大楼建筑 群。 采用新未来主义设计方法，美国KPF建筑 设计事务所（Kohn Pedersen Fox）原计划 于1997年开始建造这座革命性的建筑，但是 亚洲金融危机中止了该计划，但这却使KPF有 时间进一步进行开发设计并克服诸多争议。 清晰的线条和曲线勾勒出倒梯形的造型，有 > 59

ORIENTAL PEARL TOWER

The black sheep of Shanghai’s skyline is also its most recognisable. Unlike the other structures, the Oriental Pearl Tower acts as a TV tower in Shanghai, with little to no office or retail space. Enormous columns built deep underground support the concrete spire and pink glass spheres that make up the majority of the structure. At 468 metres, it was the tallest structure in China from 1994 to 2007, and categorised as a AAAAA scenic area in China, it is arguably the most popular tourist destination in Shanghai.

Of the major towers in Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl Tower is the only designed by a local architecture firm, the Shanghai Modern Architectural Design Co. Built to encapsulate Chinese culture and ideals, its image is described by an ancient Chinese verse that translates to “large and small pearls dropping on a plate of jade.”

The three main spheres (the “pearls”) act as the major viewing platforms. The main platform, at 263 metres, features a transparent floor for those brave enough to step out into nothingness. Be prepared to see plenty of shaky-legged tourists hobbling back to the safety of the good-old-fashioned concrete floor in the centre.

While the tower may not have the office and retail space of its sibling towers, it still has plenty to offer in addition to the spine-chilling transparent floors. At 267 metres, you can dine with a view from Asia’s second highest revolving restaurant. Revolving once every two hours, diners get a chance to experience one of the best restaurant views in the city, with a 350-plus seating capacity. Underground, tucked away in the basement of the tower, is the Shanghai Municipal History Museum, a labyrinth of corridors depicting some of the most important moments in the city’s development through 60

the use of reconstructed city streets, models and relics.

As you move through the entanglement of vivid street scenes, you’ll gain an insight into the cultural and political changes and upheavals Shanghai has been through until today.

Shanghai’s skyline has been developing for decades remaining at the forefront of architectural achievement.

By continually challenging pre-conceived ideals in form and function and taking the right steps in green technologies, it seems Shanghai will continue driving forward into a greener and more sustainable future.

ustralia is a country of majestic contrasts. In terms of size, it has the smallest continental land mass and, at the same time, is the biggest island in the world. Climates on either ends of the country are polar opposites. The most northern end has a tropical climate that consists of two seasons – wet and dry – while the most southern end sees snow come the winter months. And the landscapes couldn’t be more different, either. For instance, in Western Australia you’ll find vast expanses of desert, while just a few hours away, in South Australia, you’ll travel through rolling hills of lush green grapevines. It’s the contrasting landscape that makes traversing this island country unlike any other.

If you’re after a one-of-a-kind experience that takes in these contrasts in all their glory, then the recently launched Whitehaven Beach to Wineglass Bay package is for you. The five-day trip will have you begin your journey on tropical Hamilton Island, staying at its most opulent offering, qualia. You’ll then make your way down the east coast to Tasmania’s rocky and green Freycinet Peninsula, where you’ll stay at the award-winning Saffire Freycinet. Your time will be split evenly at these two intrinsically Australian sanctuaries, which put the natural beauty of their vastly different surrounding environments at the forefront of their understated luxury resorts.

ON ISLAND TIME

Hamilton Island has been an iconic Australian getaway for decades, and qualia has fast become the jewel in the island’s crown. Located on the northernmost point of Hamilton Island, 60 understated opulent guest pavilions sit nestled among local fauna. The only part of the pavilions poking out are the infinity pools.

Walking into the 90-odd-metre stretch that is Long Pavilion – a lobby by day and pre-dinner drinks spot by night – refreshments are served, including a glass of “Charlie”, which you’ll quickly learn refers to the only champagne offered at the resort: Charles Heidsieck.

Looking out from the pavilion, you’ll get a panoramic view of the startling blue seas and islands that make up the surrounding Whitsundays. The scene before you is strikingly beautiful and serene. While taking mental – and, shamelessly, Instagrammable – pictures of the view, you get a feel for what’s in store for you over the next few days, experiencing some of Australia’s most stunning landscapes in absolute luxury. >

After your arrival you’ll be given a key to a buggy, which will be yours for the duration of your stay. While you can walk around the resort, be warned it is quite hilly, and if you’re staying in a Windward Pavilion, you’re a good 5-10 minutes – depending on your fitness level – from Long Pavilion and Pebble Beach.

UNWIND AND RELAX

Settling in to your room is all too easy. The pavilions are spacious. You’ll have trouble picking your favourite spot to spend a couple of hours of downtime, but whether it’s the bath, bed, living room or pool deck, if you’re staying in a Windward Pavilion you’ll be looking out onto the Whitsunday Islands.

When you’ve managed to peel yourself from your room, head to Spa qualia. While you may not be outside among the environs, you’ll still be experiencing local elements. The 40-minute escape begins with a revitalising foot ritual using Rasayan scrub, which the spa therapist says has 80-odd essential minerals.

Thanks to the soft rattling of the bamboo shoots and crashing of the ocean, you’ll quickly unwind.

“YOU’LL BE BROUGHT BACK TO REALITY BY THE SOUND OF AN OUTDOOR RAIN SHOWER, WHERE YOU’LL SHOWER UNDER THE SKY” 66

Followed is a zesty, full-body exfoliation and detoxifying clay wrap infused with minerals, oils and herbs to tone and purify. Laying wrapped like bug in a cocoon, a warm Indian hair oil is rubbed through your scalp to relieve any stress in the mind and tension in the neck. You’ll be brought back to reality by the sound of an outdoor rain shower. Completely private, showering under the open sky is a holistic experience.

If you thought it ended there, you still have a 40-minute relaxation massage paired with a 30-minute facial to follow. Upon departure, your spa therapist will hand you a list of all the products used throughout your treatment, in case you want to take some home.

Day one is wrapped up with a koala cuddle before dinner at Long Pavilion. The eight-course menu is curated by executive chef Doug Innes-Will, who joined the resort in October 2016. Each course is paired with matching Australian wines selected from the Oatley family’s Robert Oatley Vineyard collection. The late Robert “Bob” Oatley was an Australian businessman, winemaker and yacht owner who purchased and transformed Hamilton Island in 2003.

The highlight of the menu is the “Whitehaven Beach” dish, exclusively created for the Whitehaven Beach to Wineglass Bay package. Inspired by the famous sandy white shores of its namesake, the dish includes mud crab, beurre noisette and finger lime. What’s more, it >

looks similar to Whitehaven Beach – just in food form.

It’s a great taste of what’s to come in day two.

REEF VIEWS

The second day is all about the Whitsundays. Take off with a helicopter ride over the iconic Great Barrier Reef; while swimming the Great Barrier Reef might get you up close to the reef itself, you can’t truly appreciate its enormity and beauty until you see it from the air.

Our pilot for the day tells us it’s the world’s largest reef system. “The Great Barrier Reef is made up of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands that all stretch over 2,600 kilometres,” she explains.

“It’s so big you can see it from space.”

The chopper will also fly you over Heart Reef, a reef shaped like a love heart, just before dropping you on Whitehaven Beach, where a private champagne picnic awaits your arrival. Whitehaven Beach is a seven-kilometre stretch of paradise. Its impeccably white sand is so colourless that when it reflects the sun, it’s almost blinding.

“The reason as to why it’s so white is because it is 98% pure white silica,” our pilot explains. “That’s what gives it a luminescent colour.” In stark contrast, the water is various shades of turquoise. Once on the shore, you’ll spend the rest of the afternoon lounging on a day bed, allowing time to slowly tick by. The great thing about the long stretch of beach is that you’re never too close to the next group of people. You can easily find yourself thinking you’re the only ones on the sandy shore.

After a day of lounging about in the sun, the perfect pick-me-up is a Talk and Taste Sashimi + Sake sunset master class with Doug and qualia sommelier Ben Cabangun. If you’re unfamiliar with sake, you needn’t worry, because Ben will give you a full run-down about the origin of the Japanese beverage, how it’s made and how to taste it correctly. “Sake is a ferment from rice,” Ben explains. “People always ask if it’s a beer or >

白天堂海滩到酒杯湾旅行套餐 包括： 坐 直 升机前 往 标志性 的大 堡 礁（G re a t Barrier Reef）。而在空中是真得无法欣赏 大堡礁的庞大和美丽，只有在大堡礁游泳 时您才可能与其亲近。 当天的飞行员告诉我们大堡礁是世界上 最大的珊瑚礁系统。 “大堡礁由2,900多个 珊瑚礁和900多个岛屿组成，绵延2,600多 公里，”她解释道，“它是如此之大，从太 空也能看得到。” 直升机还将带您飞越呈爱心形状的心 形礁（Heart Reef），然后抵达白天堂海 滩，在那里私人香槟野餐等待着您的到来。 白天堂海滩长七公里。这里的沙滩洁白 无暇、无可挑剔，反射的太阳光十分耀眼。 “沙滩如此洁白的原因是因为其98%的成 分为纯白硅，”我们的飞行员如是说道。而 这里的碧绿的海水则与之此形成了鲜明的 对比。一旦到了海滩，您可以整个下午的时 间懒洋洋地躺在沙滩床上，让时间慢慢的 流逝。长长的海滩的一个好处是您永远不 会与其他人过于接近，因此可能很容易就 会冒出海滩上只有自己的想法。 在阳光下悠闲的度过一天后，想要提提 神的话，参加道格和夸丽雅酒店侍酒师本· 卡班根（Ben Cabangun）的生鱼片+清 酒品味讲座日落大师班（Talk and Taste Sashimi + Sake sunset master class） 绝对是一个完美的选择。如果对清酒不太 熟悉，也不必担心，因为本将为您详细介 绍这种日本饮品的起源、制作方法和和正 确的品尝方式。本解释到， “清酒是由稻米 发酵而成。人们总是问它是啤酒还是葡萄

“TROPICAL PARADISE IS TRADED FOR A VIVID BACKDROP OF THE RUGGED GRANITE PEAKS AND SAPPHIRE BLUE BAY” wine. It’s a bit of both in regards to the way it’s brewed like a beer but drunk like a wine.”

There are different types and grades of sake, and you’ll try a range of them. You’ll even try Dassai 23 Junmai Daiginjo, which is what former President of the United States Barack Obama was served during his visit to Japan, Ben tells us. Each sake is paired with Aussie fish such as South Australian yellow tail and local line-caught coral trout, freshly sliced in front of you by Doug as the sun sets over Pebble Beach in the backdrop – a perfect end to your stay at qualia.

COAST TO COAST

The next morning, you’ll fly from Hamilton Island to Hobart, via Sydney. Once you land in Hobart, a private transfer will take you to your overnight accommodation, the Henry Jones Art Hotel. Located on Hobart’s waterfront, the hotel is furnished with over 300 artworks with a continuously changing exhibition.

Following a quick stay at the Henry Jones, you’ll be choppered out of Hobart to Saffire Freycinet.

The 40-minute ride will show off Tasmania’s east coastline, until you finally come across the gleaming roof of Saffire Freycinet. From above, it looks as if a futuristic spaceship has landed in the middle of a dense, untouched forest.

As entering qualia was breathtaking, Saffire is the same – but for different reasons. Here, the view of a tropical paradise is traded for a vivid backdrop of the rugged granite peaks that make up the surrounding Freycinet National Park. Glistening in front of the mountain peaks is the sapphire-blue Great Oyster Bay, where you’ll find some of the cleanest waters in the world.

Your day will begin with a trip to the Freycinet Oyster Farm guided by Declan, the resident oyster expert.

Throughout the drive up to the farm, Declan shares some back story about how the oyster farming industry, for which Freycinet has now become known, began with husband and wife Giles and Julia Fisher. “The farm had humble beginnings,” Declan says. “Today, during peak season, the farm is selling about 320 dozen oysters a day, and the only place you can get them is right here.”

Declan warns us to watch our heads as he drives off the road down a narrow driveway that’s riddled with potholes filled with oyster shells. You’ll hear them > 70

cracking under the wheels and ricocheting up against the bottom of the van, until you reach a makeshift shed, which Declan calls “the office”.

To truly experience oyster farming, you’ll need to be a brave wader – something not even Elle MacPherson could make look good. But we’re not here to look good – we’re here to eat oysters straight from the source. You’ll immerse yourself in the water farm until about hip deep. Depending on the season, the water temperature will fall between 14-21 degrees Celsius, so it’s never too hot or too cold to stand in.

It’s here, submerged in water, where Declan runs through the life of an oyster. He starts from when it’s a microscopic larva right through to when it’s ready to be cracked open and devoured by eager food lovers like us. Fun fact: 20-30 adult oysters can produce about 250 million babies.

Once Declan finishes explaining the life cycle of oysters, you’ll feel like an expert yourself – and that you’ve earned a well-deserved taste. Still submerged in water, you’ll waddle your way over to a long table set up with a crisp white tablecloth. Declan will produce champagne flutes, some bubbly and cheese and crackers from his backpack, the perfect companions to oyster tasting. Having just picked some oysters from the water, he shucks them. Seconds later, you’re coating them in a seasoning of your choice – ponzu, tabasco, or fresh lemon or lime – and gulping down some of the freshest oysters you’ll ever try. Oysters are an acquired taste, but these ones even had non-oyster lovers appreciating them.

“OYSTERS ARE AN ACQUIRED TASTE, BUT THESE ONES HAD EVEN NON-OYSTER LOVERS APPRECIATING THEM” A TOUCH OF NATURE

While the accommodation at Saffire Freycinet is lush and opulent – the complimentary mini bar and beverages are added bonuses – it’s the experiences that incorporate the surrounding national park that make it unequalled.

Day four will see you explore the wilderness on the Le Pique Nique tour, which is made up of a guided walk through the park and up to Wineglass Bay lookout. This flawless crescent with its white sand and deep blue sea is considered one of the top 10 beaches in the world. Once you’ve hiked to the lookout, you’ll make your way down to the shores of South Hazards Beach, where a boat will pick you up. From there you’ll travel to a private beach, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch turtles or humpback whale breaching. Arriving

at the private beach, a gourmet picnic of locally sourced produce will be set up for you to enjoy.

The rest of your afternoon can be spent at the spa using up your $150 spa credit; or, alternatively, you could try one of the many complimentary activities, such as biking, kayaking, archery, fishing, or the Tasmanian Devil Experience. Saffire Freycinet has a Tasmanian devil enclosure on-site that protects older members of the mammal’s population. It allows you to get a rare glimpse of the endangered animal in a natural setting and learn about the crucial effort taking place to find a cure for the Tasmanian devil facial tumour disease, which has sadly reduced the population by 80%. Whatever you choose to do, you can expect to experience a little more of the Freycinet Peninsula in a unique way.

It’s the rare and opulent manner in which these two resorts allow guests to experience their surrounding environments that set this trip apart from the rest. Whether it’s being choppered from the Great Barrier Reef to Whitehaven Beach for a private picnic, or standing hip deep in some of the cleanest waters in the world eating freshly shucked oysters while sipping champagne, qualia and Saffire Freycinet have seamlessly curated a trip that allows you to experience the best Australia has to offer.

Sense, Rosewood Hotel Beijing 北京瑰丽酒店Sense水疗中心

D

id anyone else find 2016 a bit stressful? Thankfully, we all had the shoulder-unclenching environs of Sense, the Rosewood Hotel Beijing’s superb spa, to turn to.

A more tranquil, glam pampering haven you could not find; it’s even accessed via a pretty footbridge, slung across a candlelit pool. The treatment rooms come with balconies, and some of the best therapists you’ll find – each one well-placed to deliver knock-out, individually tailored treatments.

Day visitors can pop in for a skin-smoothing mulberry body mud wrap, or partake in multi-hour “journeys” consisting of several complimentary

treatments. For the full monty, book the seven-and-a-half-hour “Indulgence” – it starts with a fragrant oil bath, ends with a pedicure, and has every kind of body and soul-soothing pampering treatment sandwiched in between.

Whatever you plump for, follow up with a dip in the 830-square-metre swimming pool, decked out in gold tiling, before you go. Don’t want to leave? You don’t have to: there are even five luxurious spa suites furnished, with soothing tones, private massage tables or over-sized bath tubs, and – crucially – deep, cushy beds, where you can stay the night. rosewoodhotels.com

BEST DISH 最佳菜品

Soy-Braised Pork Belly with Abalone and Truffle Sauce, Cai Yi Xuan, The Four Seasons 北京四季酒店采逸轩餐厅，松露鲍鱼红烧肉

S

low-cooked, fat-laced pork chunks, caramelised and tender. The finest abalone. And, delicate shavings of black truffle. Is your mouth watering yet? It should be, because the soy-braised pork at Cai Yi Xuan, the high-end Chinese restaurant in the Four Seasons Beijing, is one of those dishes that, once you taste, you’ll permanently be craving.

There’s little wonder Time Out Beijing named Cai Yi Xuan its favourite Chinese hotel restaurant in 2016, what with its

regal imperial-inspired interior of bronze, burgundy and green, and knock-your-socks-off porcine dish.

But, there’s more to sample here than just sublime pork belly: also take the time to devour the likes of crab roe-laced xialong bao dumplings, crisp sesame balls, braised king prawns, Peking duck or steamed foie gras with black mushroom and abalone. Yep, we suggest you arrive hungry. fourseasons.com

肉

：肥瘦比例相间，慢烧细烹，外焦里嫩。鲍鱼：最 佳品质，上乘精选。黑松露：精研漫撒，锦上添 花。是不是快要流口水？那就对了，这道松露鲍 鱼红烧肉出自北京四季酒店的高级餐厅采逸轩，一旦尝过 就注定念念不忘。2016年，采逸轩被Time Out Beijing 评为最受欢迎中国酒店餐厅，内饰装潢以黄铜色、紫红色 和绿色为主，极具皇家气派；而猪肉菜肴更是让人惊叹连 连。不过，除了妙不可言的五花肉以外，也一定要花时间 赏味蟹肉水饺小笼包、香脆芝麻球、油焖大虾、北京烤鸭 或鲍汁鹅肝伴花菇……没错，强烈建议您空腹前往。

But there’s no danger of feeling cramped in the Presidential Suite of the Éclat Beijing, a design hotel tucked in the buzzy Chaoyang District. Nor is there any danger of minimalism: this 20th floor, 400-square-metre pad is well-named, with regal button-back red chairs, a lavish four-poster wood bed, musical instruments (anyone play the harp?), eyecatching artworks and a private cinema.

You can host 23 of your closest friends for a blow-out meal in the private dining room, or take drinks with them on the 300-square-metre terrace – accessed by floor-to-ceiling windows that let the light pour in.

And, while shops, restaurants, and sights such as the Temple of the Sun are all within easy reach, there’s no need to leave your room. After all, you’ll be wanting to make the most of the hotel’s 24-hour butler service, in-room dining and concierge. eclathotels.com

BEST MALL 最佳购物中心 Taikoo Li Sanlitun 三里屯太古里

W

hen it was time to embrace 2016’s latest fashion trends, there was only one place to head: the epic shopping hot spot that is Taikoo Li Sanlitun.

This is so much more than a “mall” – consisting of 19 colourful buildings spread over two sites, and bursting with 140 shops, a luxe hotel (sleek, boutique The Opposite House) and restaurants aplenty, there’s nothing you’d want to buy that you can’t find here.

Luxury designer threads may abound – Alexander McQueen, Balmain or Christian Louboutin included – 78

but they also sit comfortably alongside hip, affordable ones, such as French clothing shop A.P.C., or Finnish homewares brand Marimekko.

When you’ve become tired of shopping (as if), you can pause for lunch at Haru, a restaurant where you can watch chefs cook up teppanyaki in private rooms; then hit the cinema, or take in the array of artistic installations. Our personal favourite sculpture is the massive, crimson ‘The Walking Words’ by Liu Yonggang, a cast-iron mesh of Chinese script. taikoolisanlitun.com

要

拥 抱 2 016 年的最新时尚潮流，目的地 只有一 个：倍受追捧的三里屯太古里。这可不仅仅是一 家“购物中心”，而是包含南、北两区，共19座建 筑，140余家门店，1家奢华而个性的精品酒店——瑜舍， 以及不胜枚举的餐厅；在太古里，没有想得到却买不到的 东西。这里奢侈的设计师品牌众多——包括Alexander McQueen、Balmain和Christian Louboutin等，但 是也有很多价格亲民的品牌，比如法国服饰品牌A.P.C和 芬兰家居用品品牌Marimekko。当您（万一）逛街逛够 了，就到尚水长廊铁板烧餐厅享用午餐吧，在私密房间里 还能观看主厨烹制铁板烧；然后去影院看场电影，或者 去欣赏众多的艺术装置。我们最喜欢的雕塑是刘永刚创 作的“行走的文字”，这是一个巨大的深红色铸铁材质雕 塑，以中文字演化成相拥的人物形象。

BEST CHEF 最佳主厨

Aniello Turco, Four Seasons 北京四季酒店阿涅洛·特科（Aniello Turco）

C

ai Yi Xuan may get our nod for best dish of the year, but when it comes to best chef, the crown goes to its sister Four Seasons restaurant, Mio. Italian chef Aniello Turco has real pedigree – he’s worked stints at René Redzepi’s two-Michelin-starred Noma, and French superstar chef Alain Ducasse’s Andana restaurant in Tuscany.

Since he joined the Four Season team in 2014, heading up the Italian cuisine at Mio, his star has been rising.

Inspired by the ‘natural transformation of food’, and techniques such as fermentation, he thinks that, in the future, “nature will be the protagonist of avant-garde cuisine” – something you can easily tell from a glance through his crafted menu.

Here, quality ingredients take precedence over fiddly presentation or faffy techniques. Choose from the generous selection of cured meats on offer – 36-month-aged Joselito Spanish ham perhaps, or 16-month sweet-cured Prosciutto di Parma – before continuing on with a silky burrata cheese salad with garden-fresh tomato and basil.

Next up, it’s lobster spaghetti with coral sauce, smoked beef short rib, Josper grill-cooked Japanese wagyu, or Alaskan black cod with caviar. Sounding a bit over the top for your tastes? Turco is big on healthy options too; come at lunch for his brown rice risotto with lemon and capers, or a refreshing avocado, quinoa and spinach salad. fourseasons.com

北

京四季酒店的采逸轩奉献了年度最佳菜品，但 是最 佳主厨的头衔 却要颁给四季酒店的另一 家餐厅— —Mio餐厅的意大利主厨阿涅洛•特 科。特科曾任职于主厨雷尼•雷德泽皮（René Redzepi） 的米其 林二星餐厅N o m a 餐厅和法国明星主 厨阿兰• 杜卡斯（Alain Ducasses）在托斯卡纳（Tuscany）的 Andana餐厅。2014年，特科来到四季酒店担任Mio餐厅 的意大利菜系主厨，一颗新星开始冉冉升起。特科以“食 物的自然转变”和发酵等技术为灵感，认为未来“自然将 成为先锋餐品的倡导者”，这在他精心烹制的菜品中得到 了明显体现。在Mio餐厅，上乘配料比精美的摆盘或夸张 的技巧更为重要。享受完种类丰富的咸肉——有发酵36 个月的小何塞西班牙火腿，或者腌制16个月的帕尔马鲜 甜火腿——再去品味如绸缎般丝滑的布拉塔芝士沙拉配 新鲜采摘的番茄和罗勒；紧接着呈现在您面前的是龙虾 细意面配珊瑚汁、碳烤牛排、碳烤日本和牛或者阿拉斯加 黑鳕鱼配鱼子酱。更倾心清淡的口味？特科在健康饮食方 面也有不俗表现，不妨在午餐时间来品尝他制作的柠檬、 酸豆糙米烩饭，或者沁人心脾的鳄梨、藜麦和菠菜沙拉。>

BEST NEIGHBOURHOOD 最佳街区

Dashanzi Art District 大山子艺术区

W

e like culture, so this year we loved the edgy, industrial vibe at Dashanzi 798 Art District, undoubtedly one of Beijing’s cool neighbourhoods du jour.

This rambling area of Communistera warehouses and factories has been transformed with the influx of funky shops, artisan cafes, swish restaurants and, especially, modern art galleries.

There’s enough of the latter to easily fill several hours; our favourites include Chinese Contemporary, where you can see avante-garde pieces by the likes

80

of Huang Rui or surrealist paintings

by Zhang Xiaogang, and Long March Space, a larger gallery that combines paintings with sculpture, video, and unconventional art forms such as magazines or cars.

But it’s not just the art we love in Dashanzi – the shops are pretty top-notch too, whether it’s the tomes cluttering Timezone 8, a popular bookshop, or fine linen clothing in Ying’s Studio. And there’s more than one essential eating place: try At Café for a light lunch.

BEST BAR 最佳酒吧 The Black Moth

T

his slick new cocktail bar, tucked away in trendy Sanlitun, couldn’t be more 2016 if it tried. First off, it’s not just a cocktail bar: according to its owners, it’s a “museum of liquid art” – and, as far as we can tell, actual art, as it comes with eye-catching pieces including a mural by local designers Plastered 8, bizarre prints, mixed media pieces and photography.

Secondly, it’s got the furniture aesthetic down pat: it’s all Mad Menmodern chairs, leather banquet, brassfringed tables, and mood lighting in which to down their artful creations.

Finally, this place knows that simple-but-serious drinks are way better than gimmicky crowd-pleasers.

You could get a well-made Negroni if you wanted, but far better to take advantage of its own innovative concoctions, none of which are overly flashy – think a saffron-barrel-aged gin martini laced with Lillet Blanc, or a cumin gin sour, complete with caramel, fresh lime, cumin-infused gin and pineapple juice.

Saying that, if you are craving some flash, Black Moth can most certainly oblige. Just order up one of their super decadent martinis: truffle vodka stirred over ice with a touch of Noilly Prat dry vermouth – in a chilled glass, of course – with an olive or a twist of lemon to garnish. theblackmothbeijing.com

T

he Black Moth鸡尾酒吧位于潮流聚集地三里屯，在 2016年无与争锋。首先，它不仅是一家鸡尾酒吧：酒 吧老板称其为“液体艺术博物馆”— —而据我们所 知，它还是一项真实艺术，因为酒吧中有大量引人注目的 画作，包括由创可贴 8（Plastered 8）设计的壁画，怪异 的印画，杂乱的媒体出版物和照片。其次，家具美学在此 表现地淋漓尽致：酒吧里全部使用了《广告狂人》里的现 代椅子，皮质宴会桌、黄铜镶边桌子和情景灯光让艺术创 作显得低调许多。再者，酒吧认为简单而认真比爱耍花 招、只为取悦众人要好得多。如果您愿意，可以拿到一杯 精心调制的内格罗尼酒，但是任凭调酒师恣意发挥、充满 创 意 地 调 配 效 果 更 佳，调 配 而 成 的 酒 从不 会 过于 炫 目— —想象在橘黄色酒桶中陈年的杜松子马提尼，配上 利莱白开胃酒或孜然金菲士，再加上焦糖、新鲜酸橙、孜 然 浸 泡金 酒 和 菠 萝汁。不仅 如 此，如 果 您 期 待 炫目的 酒，The Black Moth也一定能如您所愿。只是别忘了一定 要点一杯超级赞的松露马提尼。

ere’s the thing about time travel: I swear it exists – just in the small pockets of Australia. We’re currently cruising through South Australia’s Barossa wine region in a 1962 Daimler – one of the only three in the state, and all owned by John Baldwin of Daimler Tours, our driver and guide for the day. The Barossa is one of the country’s oldest and finest wine producing regions. Ancestors of wine families still living in the region today were among the state’s earliest settlers. > 这是一场关于时间的旅行，我发誓这是只有在澳大利亚 的这块方寸天地中才能有的绝佳体 验。一辆1962年产 的戴姆勒汽车载着我们驰骋 在南澳大利亚州的芭萝莎 （Barossa）葡萄酒产区。这款汽车在该州仅有三辆，我 们乘坐的便是其中之一，它们共同的所有者约翰·鲍德温 （John Baldwin）不仅是Daimler Tours的老板，也是我 们当天的司机兼导游。芭萝莎是澳大利亚最古老、最优秀 的葡萄酒产区之一，如今居住在该地区的葡萄酒家族的 祖先们是这里最早的定居者之一。 >

“It’s peak season in the Barossa and on either side of the road are rows upon rows of vines in full bloom. They’re dense and richly green, protecting bunches of ripening grapes” The open roads are long, hilly and mostly empty.

It’s peak season (December-February), and on either side of the road are rows upon rows of vines in full bloom.

They’re dense and richly green, protecting bunches of ripening grapes.

You can see outside each side of the car because of how vintage cars were built in the past. “You always get a full 180-degree view outside,” John says. “These babies are not like modern limousines, where the windows are tinted black so nobody can see in. Back in the day, people wanted to be seen in these cars.”

It’s the perfect mode of transport for a day of touring some of the region’s exceptional vineyards. The plush lounge seat in the back of the car is also handy. “It’s not uncommon for my passengers to doze off in between wine tastings,” John chuckles.

There are over a 150 vineyards in the area. Picking just a handful to visit can be tricky, but when you’re in the trusty hands of local expert John, you needn’t worry – he’ll curate the perfect itinerary for you.

开阔的道路极其漫长，周边遍布丘陵， 多数时候空无一人。现在正是旺季（12月 至次年2月），道 路两侧成排成排的葡萄 树，花朵开得正盛，茂密而油绿的枝叶遮 蔽着一串串正在成熟的葡萄。 得益于旧式老爷车的设计，您可以从车 辆两侧观赏车外的美景。 “您可以欣赏到 窗外180度的美景，”约翰说道， “这些宝 贝不像现代豪华轿车的车窗都是黑色的， 外面的人看不到车内。那时的人们希望被 车外的人看到。” 乘 坐 这 种 旧式 老 爷车 花 一 天 时 间 游 览这 里 几间杰出的酒庄，这种方式 堪称 完美。车 辆后部的豪华 休息座椅 也很便 利。 “乘客在品酒之旅中小憩一会儿的情 况很常见。”约翰说道。 该地区有150多间酒庄。如果只选择其 中几间游览，非常难以抉择，但如果您把 这一切交给当地的专家约翰，就无需担心 了，他将为您策划一个完美的行程。

第一站：御兰堡酒庄 我们的第一站是御兰堡酒庄（Yalumba We begin with a visit to Yalumba Wines.

perfect as it offers a glimpse into the workings of Yalumba and showcases its award-winning wines. If you’re looking to impress some in-laws or a significant other, but aren’t a wine expert, then this one is for you.

The wine room is small and quaint, with images of past custodians of Yalumba on the walls. “This is a wine brand that’s all about family,” our host says. “This artwork behind me is one that Robert’s dad painted and has been used on the labels of two chardonnays and a sauvignon blanc.” In the summertime, the room is a cool respite.

Come winter, the natural fireplace is lit up and one hour in the toasty warmth of the fire with a glass of wine in hand won’t be long enough.

For the wine connoisseurs, a walk-through of Robert’s private collection is a must. “You need the golden key to enter. Well, it’s not actually gold – it’s brass – but it looks gold,” our host confesses. “I think it has a better ring to it.”

While the key may not be gold, the collection certainly is. Stored in old concrete tanks that used to be used for fermenting, Robert’s private collection is the biggest independent collection of wines in Australia.

Our host can’t even tell us how many bottles make it up. Walking through a maze of repurposed tanks with full wine racks from floor to ceiling, I’m guessing it’s somewhere in the tens of thousands. You’ll find wines in here from all over the world, and some of the bottles are so rare that you couldn’t even put a price tag on them.

SECOND STOP: ST HUGO

Speaking of big price tags, we move on to our next vineyard, St Hugo. Having just opened in December, John tells us that millions of dollars were poured into this new venue by owner Jacob’s Creek, which began winemaking back in 1847. Already a well-known and loved Australian label, Jacob’s Creek wanted to create more prestige wines under the St Hugo name to distance the wines from its commercial range.

The result of this architecturally designed wine room is stunning. It’s different to Yalumba and most cellar doors around the region, which generally have a long history and carefully preserved buildings. But you wouldn’t know it – here, large glass walls enclose a modern space of concrete paired with warm wood interiors that still gives off that warm “cellar door” feel.

“I guess the big difference between this and a cellar door is that we invite people to come in and stay,” says chief winemaker Dan Swincer. “We don’t do single tastings. Instead, we offer tasting flights of four different wines for $20. Because we’re a young brand, we want people to taste the variety we offer. When you order a flight, you also get some locally baked bread and dip to enjoy with your tasting. This is a place you come to spend a few hours.”

St Hugo is trying to take a more European approach to wine, where it’s enjoyed over hours with friends and food – hence the reason its owners decided to add a restaurant to its cellar room. The restaurant is headed by > 86

Mark McNamara, who briefly joins us at lunch to delve into the restaurant’s unique take on curating the menu.

“It’s all about the wine,” Mark says. “First and foremost this is a vineyard producing outstanding wines, which is what the food is here to showcase.”

Before the dishes of the menu are even conceptualised, a sommelier picks out the eight best wines to be paired, including two whites and a dessert white. From there a group of winemakers and chefs sit down, tasting the wines and breaking down the flavours. There’s about 50-60 ingredients to be paired with the wine on a list, which they all tick off if they think it will suit the flavour.

“Once all these notes have been collated, I take over from there and create dishes to suit the wines,” Mark says.

“Really the food is paired with the wines so that it doesn’t change the flavour of the wine, but rather enhances it.”

We can’t argue with that. Our lunch of lime cured hiramasa kingfish paired with 2016 St Helga riesling, duck two ways paired with 2007 St Hugo cabernet sauvignon and fillet of beef with 2012 St Hugo Private Collection shiraz cabernet is, simply put, divine and perfectly matched. We can’t fault it.

THIRD STOP: SEPPELTSFIELD

After we’ve devoured lunch, that snooze John spoke about earlier is seductively drawing us in as we head to our final stop for the day. But the drive to Seppeltsfield is worth staying awake for.

The 10-kilometre stretch that is Seppeltsfield Road is symmetrically lined with palm trees and is affectionately known as the “Avenue of Hopes and Dreams”. From here 88

you’ll be able to venture off the road to 15 different cellar doors, but we make our way to Seppeltsfield.

Seppeltsfield was established in 1851 by Joseph and Joanna Seppelt, Prussian immigrants who escaped Europe due to political unrest. They originally came to South Australia to continue their tobacco-growing business; unfortunately, the climate and landscape didn’t support the harvesting of tobacco, so Joseph decided to venture into vine growing, which turned out to be a very wise decision. He began with 121 acres and slowly built that up to 1,200.

Joseph had grand visions to build a bigger warehouse.

During construction, however, he and his wife Joanna passed away, leaving their legacy to 21-year-old son Beno, who fulfilled his parents’ dream and is responsible for establishing the roots of the brand. To celebrate the completion of the building in 1878, Beno put aside a barrel of his finest tawny port, and declared it was not to be opened for 100 years. Every year since then, that tradition has been upheld, making the Seppeltsfield collection of tawny the oldest continuous collection of any commercially available wine in the world.

Which brings us to where we stand today: on the top floor of the very warehouse Beno built, for the Taste >

“年纪越大，对应年份的酒 的甜美口感就会越淡，变得 更加辛辣和浓烈” 圣雨果试图打造更为欧式的酒庄，您 可以在 这 里与朋友共享美食，度 过 几 小 时的美妙时光。因此，他们决定在酒窖中 开设一间餐厅。餐厅由马克·麦克纳玛纳 （Mark McNamara）管理，午餐时间， 他 和我们共同探讨餐厅菜肴独特的创造 方式。 “所有美食都和葡萄酒有关，”马克说 道， “最重要的是，这里是一个生产精品 佳酿的酒庄，这也是我们的美食所要尽力 展现的。” 在菜肴的概念还没有形成之前，侍酒师 就要挑选出8种最好的葡萄酒与其搭配， 包括两款白葡萄酒和一款甜型白葡萄酒。 然后，酿酒师和主厨团队将坐在一起品尝 葡萄酒并解析味道。清单上约有50 -60种 可以与葡萄酒搭配的成分，他们要从中挑 选出他们认为合适的味道。 “一旦所有信息整理完成，我会接手后 续的工作，打造适合葡萄酒的菜肴。”马克 说道， “实际上，当美食与葡萄酒完美契合 时，不仅不会影响葡萄酒的风味，反而会 为其增色。”

对于这点，我们不可否认。我们午餐品 尝的青柠腌无鳔石首鱼搭配的是2016年 圣海尔格雷司令葡萄酒，用两种方式烹饪 的鸭肉搭配的是20 07年圣雨果赤霞珠葡 萄酒，而牛柳搭配的则是2012年圣雨果私 人珍藏西拉赤霞珠葡萄酒。搭配简单、绝 妙而完美，简直无可挑剔。 第三站：沙普路 用完午 餐后，我 们出发前 往当天 最 后 一 站，而正如约翰早些时候提到的，睡意在 此时来袭。但是，在前往沙普酒庄的路上 保持清醒是值得的。 沙普路（Seppeltsfield Road）长10 公里，两侧的棕榈树对称地排列着，人们 亲切地称其为“希望和梦想的大道”。这 条路可以通往15个不同的酒窖，但我们要 去的是创立于1851年的沙普酒庄。 由于政治动乱，普鲁士人约瑟夫·沙普 和乔安娜·沙普（Joseph and Joanna S e p p e l t）逃离 欧 洲，移民 来 到南澳 大 利亚州继续进行烟草 种 植。遗憾 的是， 这里的气候和地貌不适合烟草的生长，所 以 约瑟夫决 定尝试 种 植葡萄，后来这被 证明是一个非常明智的决定。最初的葡萄 园面积只有121英亩的，后来逐渐扩大到 1,200英亩。 约瑟夫有着宏伟的愿景，希望建造一 个更大的酒窖。然而，在酒窖建造的过程 中，他和他的妻子乔安娜不幸离世，这样 他们的遗产就留给了他们21岁的儿子贝诺 （Beno）。贝诺实现了他父母的梦想，并 担负起建立沙普品牌的责任。1878年，为 了庆祝 酒窖的竣 工，贝诺 把 最 好的一桶 茶色波特酒放入酒窖中，要一直存放10 0 年的时间。此后每年这一 传 统均得以 延 >

Your Birth Year experience. Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, are among some of the famous names to take part in this tradition.

Surrounding us are long rows of large barrels marked with the year of their production. We’re asked our birth year, and our guide takes us over to the barrel of the winery’s finest tawny from that year. He takes the lid off the cask and inserts what looks to be a giant eyedropper, extracting syrupy brown liquid, before pouring it into a port glass.

The idea is this: if you’re in your twenties, you’ll try the 20-year-old tawny, which will taste sweet. The older you get, the sweetness begins to disappear and the taste becomes sharper and more intense. Once you’ve tasted your birth year, you’ll also get to taste the 100-year-old tawny. For us, it was the 1917 version. Thicker than the birth year and much punchier in taste, the centennial tawny still has a dash of sweetness that is signature of the dessert wine.

While time travel might not actually exist, you can definitely get a taste of the past at the Barossa.

续，这也使得沙普酒庄收藏的茶色波特酒 成为世界市场中可以买到的最古老的收藏 系列。 今天，我们就 站在贝诺建成的酒窖顶 楼，来“品味出生年份酒”（Taste You r Birth Year）。许多最为著名的人物，包括 查尔斯王子（Prince Charles）和康沃尔 公爵夫人卡米拉（Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall），都曾参与过这一传统活动。 我们的周围都是长长的一排排的大木 桶，上面标记着其生产年份。在知道我们 的出生年份后，导游就会带我们到对应年 份的木桶前，这里面是当年最好的茶色波 特酒。他拿掉酒桶的盖子，将一个看起来 像巨型滴管的东西插入桶中，从中提取棕 色的浆状酒液倒入波特杯中。 如果您是二十多岁，酒 的口感会很甜 美。您的年纪越大，对应年份的酒的甜美 口感就会越淡，变得更加辛辣和浓烈。在 品尝过出生年份酒之后，您还可以品尝一 下有着10 0年历史的茶色波特酒。对我们 来说，就是1917年的茶色波特酒。1917年 的酒要比出生年份的酒更为粘稠，口感更 为强烈，但这有着百年历史的茶色波特酒 仍然有着些许甜酒特有的甜美味道。虽然 可能时间旅行实际上并不存在，但在芭萝 莎，您无疑能够品尝到过去的味道。

he numbers are enough to impress even the most prolific vlogger: 14,937,580 views.

A YouTube hit to rival even the most dangerous of skater boy pranks, beastto-beauty makeover or even anything involving a cat. Which is saying something. This viral video is simplicity itself, entitled ‘cute pandas playing on a slide’. It does what it says on the tin: roughly 90 seconds of four cute-as-a-kitten baby pandas bundling over each other on a wooden slide at the Chengdu Research Base in Sichuan.

If that doesn’t tell you everything about the popularity of the loveable pandas and the world’s never-ending love affair with these black-and-white beauties, then nothing will. That these playful pandas reside in Chengdu should be of little surprise – the central Chinese region of Sichuan is home to the majority of the panda population (estimates are around the 80% mark, with some residing in Shaanxi and Gansu), with the mountains their natural habitat.

Just as the people of Sichuan – and, indeed, the world – have enjoyed the sight of the pandas playing, they’ve paid the animals back in kind. Ever since the giant panda was labelled “endangered” in 1990, the Sichuan province has led the fightback, with reserves and research centres across the region helping to breed, release, heal and protect the pandas. >

So much so that, last year, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), changed the panda’s status from “endangered” to “vulnerable”.

It’s not yet out of the woods, so to speak, but it’s heading in the right direction, with the last count revealing there to be 1,864 in the wild as of 2014: a 17% rise in population over a decade. “Knowing that the panda is now a step further from extinction is an exciting moment for everyone committed to conserving the world’s wildlife and their habitats,” said Marco Lambertini, WWF director general at the time, before adding, “The recovery of the panda shows that when science, political will and engagement of local communities come together, we can save wildlife and also improve biodiversity.”

While a bit of panda-based frolic and frippery might seem like nothing more than a way to avoid getting your actual work done, the exposure given to the cause by such videos has led to visitors flooding to Chengdu to meet the furry film stars and give much-needed exposure to their plight. > 96

Officially, that plight might have only started with the “endangered” status 25 or so years ago, but they first came to the attention of the people of China in 1953, when a wild panda was found in a town near Dujiangyan, a city no more than an hour’s drive north of Chengdu and on the doorstep of the mountains.

It was rescued and brought back to health by what was then Chengdu Zoo and, ultimately, the seeds of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding were sown.

With huge swathes of the panda’s habitat being wiped out in the 70s and 80s – it’s thought 250 starved to death in a decade from 1974 – launching a breeding program became a necessity.

Chengdu Zoo did exactly that in 1987, and the Chengdu Research Base was ultimately launched.

Under its new mantle, it has also been at the forefront of all efforts to revive the population in the wild.

Initially its effort went into getting the famous shy bears to breed and provide the world with, as one commentator described, “an insurance policy against extinction.” With six rescued pandas as the first residents, they set about the task of breeding an animal never before bred in captivity – and yet within 20 years of starting the process, 136 baby pandas had come into the world at the base. That number stands now closer to 200 – and all from those original six. > Above: Getting around the research base is easy and ensures you catch a glimpse of most of the pandas Right: Even the entry to the Chengdu Research Base resembles a panda Left: Peak panda mode

1987年，成都动物园开始了大熊猫繁 育工作，后来发展成为成都大熊猫繁育研 究 基 地，以全 新 形象 继续引领扩大 大熊 猫野生种群的工作。基地的初期工作重点 是让害羞出了名的大熊猫繁殖，并且在世 界上首次圈养繁殖大熊猫，一位评论员称 其为“对抗灭绝的保险单”。基地以6只被 抢救下来的大熊猫为基 础繁育这一从 未 被圈养过的物种 — — 在这一重任启动后 的20年内，基地共繁育了136只大熊猫宝 宝，到目前已经接近20 0只— —全部来自 最初的这6只大熊猫。 其中有几位成为了繁育明星。2 0 世纪 8 0年代的“美美”以繁殖7胎11仔成为超 级“英雄母亲”，其大部分子女目前仍然 在世（大熊猫寿命为20至30年）。 后来的大熊猫“庆庆”和“娅娅”均以 繁殖9胎13仔再创繁育记录。基地的繁育 成绩不断被刷新。 基 地 不仅仅 致 力于 繁 育 下一 代 大 熊 猫，还与四川省内的自然保护区协作，扮 演着大熊猫医院的角色，帮助保护区内抢 救下来的病、饿大熊猫重获健康，并助其 回归自然。保证野生大熊猫种群的健康和 不断增长始终是基地的工作核心。当条件 允许时，即便是新出生的小大熊猫也会被 放归山林。 > 99

看着视频里的大熊猫们无忧无虑地玩 耍，很难想到幕后有多少基地工作人员在 努力对抗着大熊猫面临的各种问题。从大 熊猫容易感染的无数疾病，到瞬息万变的 自然环境带来的挑战，以及复杂得令人难 以置信的繁殖 系统，基 地的研究任 务重 大，也是其真正的核心部分。教育工作更 是 如此。这条火遍全 球的视频的价 值在 于，若没有对游客和世界进行关于大熊猫 及其面临的无数挑战进行教育，则不会有 游客前来付费参观，科学和环境方面的工 作也将失去资金支持。因此，不要低估了 流行的力量。虽然大熊猫 — — 不管是 大 熊猫宝宝还是成年大熊猫— —号称地球 上最可爱的动物这一点有待商榷，但人们 对他们的喜爱没有任何影响。 话虽 如此，大熊猫的可爱并非人们对 其万分钟爱的唯一原因。一位专家称，很 明显，真正吸引人们的是大熊猫与人类的 相似之处。美国圣地亚哥动物园保护研究 院应用动物生态学主任罗恩·斯维兹古德 （Ron Swaisgood）在接受英国BBC采 访时说：“人们喜欢大眼睛，因为大眼睛 让 人 想 到 婴儿。婴儿有大 大 的、圆 圆 的 头，大眼睛，高额头和圆滚滚的身体，这 些让 人类做出反应。我们的构造 就是会 对这种婴儿般的外表产生反应。婴儿就是 能够让人们喜欢他们、想要照顾他们。这 是人类构造的一部分。” 现 在 您 知 道 基 因 决 定了我 们 会 为 这 些 泰 迪 熊一样的大熊猫 而倾 倒，所以， 不妨顺 应内心，前 往 成都市一 睹其芳容 吧。

Some were more prolific than others. Mei Mei was the pin-up panda mum of the 1980s and gave birth seven times, creating 11 offspring – the majority of whom are still around today (pandas live for 20 to 30 years, in case you were wondering).

Successors Qing Qing and Ya Ya topped even Mei Mei’s achievements, however, both bringing 13 cubs into the world from nine births. The base’s achievements keep racking up.

Working with nature reserves across the province, the base hasn’t just been about rearing the next generation; it has also acted as a panda hospital, helping sick and starving wild pandas – that have been rescued by the reserves – back to health and back into the world.

Having a healthy, growing, population of wild giant pandas has always been at the heart of the work at Chengdu. Eventually, when it’s safe to do so, even the newborns will be released back into the mountains.

Watching the videos of the pandas at play makes it easy to forget all the people behind the scenes at this scientific research centre working to fight all manner of problems facing the panda. From the numerous disease to which the pandas are susceptible, to the challenges of the ever-changing natural environment and the incredible complicated reproductive system, the research wing of the Chengdu centre is immense and the true heart of the base.

And that’s before you get to the education. Going back to the value of the viral video, without educating visitors and the wider world about the panda and its numerous challenges, there wouldn’t be paying guests and therefore no funding for the scientific and environmental side of things. Don’t underestimate the power of the popularity. That the pandas – both as babies and adults – are arguably the cutest animal on the planet doesn’t do them any harm either.

Having said that, it turns out being cute isn’t the only reason we love them. According to one expert, it’s their similarity to humans that actually draws us in. “People love big eyes because it reminds them of children,” Ron Swaisgood, director of applied animal ecology at San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research, told the UK’s BBC. “Our own young have characteristics that we humans respond to such as a big, round head, large eyes, a high forehead, and a roly-poly body. We are programmed to respond to these babyish looks.

Babies just make us like them and want to care for them. It’s part of our human make-up.”

And so, now that you know you’re genetically set up to fall for those mountain teddy bears, you might as well just give in and head for Chengdu.

LOTUS DINING, BARANGAROO

Barangaroo’s brand new dining precinct is part of a multi-million-dollar redevelopment of wasted waterfront. The prime real estate was once a barren industrial wharf, but has emerged as a modern promenade you’d expect to find in France or Greece. Lotus Dining’s spot is right on the edge of Wulugul Walk – modern Chinese dining has never looked so good. Shanghai-born head chef Chris Yan’s menu is designed for family-style sharing. The restaurant group’s famous dumplings make an appearance, but much inspiration is drawn from the location. The harbour is just a stone’s throw from your table as you throw back oysters served with lemon aspen sorbet and butterfly pea flowers, or peruse the live seafood tanks filled with southern rock lobster and Queensland mud crab. The menu uses local produce where possible, fused with traditional dishes dating back to the Ming dynasty. Try Kinkawooka Bay mussels served with Tsing Tao and lemon myrtle, or 18-hour slowcooked beef ribs and kale drizzled in soy and ponzu. The spiced crispy chicken already has a local following, but if you can, save room for dessert. Pastry Chef Tiffany Jones is breaking the mould on Chinese sweet treats, with dishes like duck egg macarons and yuzu cheesecake.

RIPPLES, MILSONS POINT

Al fresco dining is often about people watching, but at this iconic waterfront restaurant it’s all about the view. Tucked in next to the northern end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Ripples looks right up at the Coathanger’s glorious metal frame and out across the water to Circular Quay and the Opera House. It’s a one-of-a-kind perspective made even better by dishes like octopus and squid ink gnocchi and whole baked baby snapper for lunch; even better, start the day with a walk across the bridge and a Sydney classic, smashed avocado and poached eggs on toast. Brunch is a big part of the Sydney lifestyle and there’s no better spot to enjoy a flat white coffee than in the shadow of the Harbour Bridge. Fresh banana bread, eggs benedict and bircher muesli are a few other classics on the menu. >

OTTO RISTORANTE, WOOLLOMOOLOO

If there’s one spot in Sydney for a waterside power lunch, this is it. Otto has been a favourite haunt of local and visiting celebrities, businessmen and socialites for more than 15 years out on Finger Wharf. Book a table right on the wharf for a long, lazy lunch and watch the super yachts cruise by while you sip fresh Aperol spritz. The menu is wholeheartedly Italian with local flair – snack on big knots of fresh burrata cheese served with slivers of San Daniele prosciutto and melon before moving on to handmade pasta dishes.

The market price spaghetti all’aragosta is a masterpiece to behold, with a plate that takes up two spots at the table.

The Venetian dish features 650 grams of Tasmanian crayfish, brandy, Napoli sauce, tomatoes and baby basil. Plenty of power lunches have happened over bowls of mussels and perfectly cooked Rangers Valley wagyu. Deconstructed desserts like torta di limone are a perfect finisher on a hot Sydney day.

Factory-filled Alexandria sits just outside the city CBD, but it wasn’t until the Grounds moved in that diners began to court the warehouse conversions and factory spaces for their meals. The Grounds successfully transformed an old bakery and coffee bean processing plant into an urban oasis. Farm animals like Kevin Bacon the pig, Turbo the Pony, chickens and goats share the sprawling largely outdoor complex with hundreds of diners who come each weekend to enjoy the laid-back atmosphere. The Potting Shed is the Ground’s more grown-up venue, an undercover outdoor eatery dotted with wrought iron tables tucked under hundreds of hanging plants. Expect to be greeted by Fluffy, the resident macaw, and sip punch poured from buckets hanging off the wooden beams above you and to dine on healthy salads, hearty country pies and burgers served in shovels.

1821， 悉尼中央商务区

1821, SYDNEY CBD

Martin Place is a spot of grandeur when it comes to architecture. The towering General Post Office building with its beautiful copper-capped clock tower, the imposing former Commonwealth Bank building and the cluster of Federation free classicals surrounding the square are examples of Sydney’s best work. And 1821, the city’s newest high-end eatery, fits right in. Housed in a former bank dating back to the 1880s, the restaurant takes its name from the Greek War of Independence commencement date. Restaurateur Jim Kospetas’ grand vision, brought to life by Athens-based designer Dimitris Economou, captures the drama of a Greek odyssey. Two oversized galloping horses flank the entrance, leading to a dining room with impossibly high ceilings and a giant Greek plaster art flag on the walls.

If you’d rather let the food speak for itself, the simple outdoor tables are the best seats in the house. Perched on a small laneway off Pitt Street, they’re prime real estate, offering much-needed refined outdoor dining for business lunches in the CBD. Here, in the shadow of Sydney’s historic buildings, expect to be transported by Greek chef David Tsirekas, whose dishes elevate Greek classics to the realm of fine dining. Sesame-crusted haloumi with hot quince syrup, innovative Greek san choy baw, ouzo-cured salmon and a slow-roasted BBQ lamb shoulder are a few of the real highlights.

Clockwise from top left: 1821 is located amidst the hustle and bustle of Martin Place; the Theatre Bar at the End of the Wharf enjoys prime real estate on Sydney Harbour; ouzo-cured salmon at 1821; Greek-inspired interior at 1821, complete with Greek flag

It’s not only China’s golfers that are making their mark on the sport – it’s also the world-class courses of their homeland, writes Alex Mead 在高尔夫球运动中留下印记的不仅有中国的 高尔夫球选手，还有其世界级的高尔夫球场， 亚历克斯·米德（Alex Mead）如是写道。 112

GOLF

T

o talk of China’s potential in any sport, is to state the obvious. When your population is upwards of a billion or so, you can pretty much achieve anything you set your mind to. The rule certainly applies to golf, and while America might not be looking over its shoulder and worrying about its golfing superpower status just yet, China is coming up on the rails.

A glance at the world rankings might not give much cause for concern. The top 100 has no names with a Chinese flag alongside, and you have to keep scrolling down to 134 to find the first – 21-year-old Li Haotong at world no. 134. But don’t be fooled by his lowly position.

In 2015, as a 20-year-old debutant, he joined the tour with aplomb, taking the Volvo China Open title at Beijing’s Topwin Golf and Country Club with a final round of 64. And last year, he secured T2 at the Turkish Airlines Open, and with it the prize purse of €557,077.

But it’s not the potential of Haotong that has made the sport take note; it’s over in the women’s game, where you only need to glance at the top five rankings to find your first Chinese player – namely, Guangzhou-born Feng Shanshan (in fourth).

A perennial contender in all the majors, and winner of several LPGA tour events, Shanshan’s real moment in the Chinese spotlight came at the Olympics – the doyen of all sporting occasions in the eyes of both officials and the public in China – when she captured a bronze medal in Rio. “If anybody [of the four Chinese players in the Olympic tournaments] can have a good result, maybe a medal, it’s going to really change everything about golf in China,” she said at the time. “And of course, I mean, I made it, so that made me even more happy about it.” >

谈

起任何一项体育运动，中国的潜力 都是毋庸置疑的。作为拥有十多 亿人口的大国，可以说只要全力以 赴，没有什么目标不能实现。高尔夫球自然 也是如此。可能美国还没有到处处提防、担 心自己的高尔夫球超级大国地位不保的地 步，但中国正在迎头赶上。 若看男子高尔夫球世界排名的话，中国的 表现并不突出。世界百强里，中国籍选手无 一人上榜，一直到第134位才出现第一位中国 籍选手——21岁的李昊桐。但是千万别因为 不起眼的排名而小觑了他。 2016年，在北京通盈·雁栖湖高尔夫俱乐 部举行的沃尔沃中国公开赛（Volvo China Open）上，时年2 0岁的小将李昊桐以泰 然自若的表现在最后一轮打出了64杆的成 绩，赢得冠军。同样是去年，李昊桐在土耳 其航空高尔夫球公开赛（Turkish Airlines Open）上获得亚军，赢得了557,077欧元的 奖金。 但 是让高尔夫球运动倍受关注的并非 李昊桐的潜力。不妨看一下女子高尔夫球 五强排名，出生在广州的冯珊珊赫然排在 > 第4位。 113

GOLF

That bronze medal – a single shot shy of silver – was truly worth its weight in gold to China’s golfing community. For the Olympics, golf had found its way from the niche cable channels to mainstream television, so everyone could celebrate Shanshan’s efforts. It’s something she was only too aware of when playing, as she said at the time. “It’s really a unique experience for golf to be broadcast live on public channels together with other mainstream Olympic sports in China for more people to understand it and learn to enjoy it,” she said. “The Olympics also provided a chance for China’s top golfers to be known by the world and their own people at home, and to prove that the Chinese can be competitive in the sport as well.”

Those views were echoed enthusiastically by Zhang Xiaoning, vice president of the China Golf Association, who said of the bronze: “Feng’s finish on the podium has made the dream of Chinese golf come true.”

NATURAL WONDERS

China’s wannabe golf Olympians – and indeed those of us looking for a new destination to take our clubs – have some truly spectacular settings from which to choose. Just as the nation’s playing numbers are on the rise – thought to be upwards of five million – so too are the courses. Even though a clutch were shut down in an official clampdown in 2015, the building of resorts and clubs has been fervent since the millennium. A new report states that there are close to 500 courses with a further 56 in development, and as with so many things, China doesn’t do things by halves.

认识到这一点：“高尔夫球运动能和其他奥 林匹克主流运动一样，在国内的公共频道直 播，让更多人去了解它、享受它，这种感受真 得非常特别。奥运会也给中国的高尔夫球顶 级选手提供了一个机会，让国内外的人们认 识他们，让他们证明中国人在这项运动中也 有很强的竞争力。” 中国高尔夫球协会副主席张小宁对此非 常赞同，她评价这枚奥运会铜牌说：“冯珊 珊在赛场上取得的成绩实现了中国的高尔夫 球梦。” 自然胜景 国内有许多令人惊叹的高尔夫球场可供中国 未来的高尔夫球奥运选手，以及寻找打球新 去处的人们挑选。随着国内高尔夫球爱好者 不断增加——据说已经达到了500万人—— 高尔夫球场也在不断新建。虽然2015年有多 个场地在中国政府的反腐行动中关闭，但是 自2000年以来，高尔夫球度假区和俱乐部的 建设一直热度不减。最新的一份报告称，目 前已有将近500个球场，还有56个在建设当 中。和其他事情一样，中国人做事从不半途 而废。 湖 南省 张 家界，奇 幻田园美 景 超 乎 想 象，张家界高尔夫球场即坐落此间。球场由 美国建筑设计师理查德·曼德尔（Richard Mandell）设计，毗邻张家界国家森林公园， 与天门洞遥相呼应。曼德尔倾尽才华设计出 的18洞球场极具挑战，占地342英亩，跨越 林地、湿地和湖泊，与周边景色浑然一体。 对于中国的远郊球场来说，在自然景观 与现代高尔夫球爱好者的需求之间达到平 衡是成功的关键——有时，球场如此非凡不 俗，除却此间竟不得建。以无与伦比的自然 胜景为画布，其上描绘出的高尔夫球画卷可 >

Take Skydoor Golf Club in Zhangjiajie, Hunan – a more rural setting showing the very best of Chinese landscape you couldn’t wish for. Designed by American architect Richard Mandell on the doorstep of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, and facing the cave of Tianmen Mountain, the main 18 covers 342 acres and works its way through a land of jungle, wetlands and lakes, with Mandell using every trick in his book to create a course that’s challenging but still in keeping with the surrounding geography.

Balancing nature with the demands of a modernday golfer is key to the success of rural courses in China – the courses on offer are occasionally so ethereal, they could only be built here. With such unique landscapes as a canvas, the golfing picture painted could be one of the most stunningly unique in the world – as long as it can get the golf aficionados on board. Too hard and they’ll worry about their handicap; too easy and they won’t bother making the trip. To the traveller who just wants to hit in a stunning location, it’s hard to go wrong with any course in the hard-to-reach places of China.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Golf Course in Yunnan is a par 72 facing the mountain from which it got its name. It’s also the second highest in the world (at 3,100 metres above sea level), the longest par 72, and its fifth hole – par five, 711 yards – is the longest par five on the planet. This is a course that manages to set records while also being a true natural, woodland, beauty. But as easy as it is on the eye, it’s not so easy on the scorecard – the shortest par four is 436 yards.

Don’t expect to beat your handicap, but you won’t care too much – not with the view of the snow-topped Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to ease your woes.

Completing a trio of picture-postcard courses is Stoneforest International Golf Club, also in Yunnan. > 115

The name gives it away; this three championshipcourse destination is set within a UNESCO world heritage site, with each course meandering its way through the karst peaks, giving it a truly stone-age feel. Amid wildly varied rock formations, there’s no place quite like this – you’re playing at one of the world’s truly great natural wonders. And although you’ll no doubt need to be mindful of dangerously ricocheting golf balls, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a course as bewitching as this one.

THREE TOP 100 COURSES

Naturally, bucket-list golfers often start their list of courses with Golf Digest’s top 100, and considering China’s comparative infancy in the market, the fact it has three entrants in this US- and UK-dominated listing is impressive.

A regular on the listing, and currently placed 86, is Shanghai’s Sheshan Golf Club. Perhaps one of China’s most well-known courses due to it hosting – for all but one year when Mission Hills hosted it, more of whom later – the WGC-HSBC Champions tournament since 2005. The prize fund is just shy of US$10m which gives you some idea of the calibre of the course itself. Globally renowned architects Nelson and Haworth are the masterminds behind the 18 holes, and they’ve created a course that has been voted China’s best and has hosted the likes of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson.

Yunnan, specifically Kunming, provides another entrant with the lakeside Robert Trent Jones Jrdesigned Spring City Golf and Lake Resort coming in at 75. Hugging the shoreline of the Yang Zone Hai Lake, the 7,200-yard, par-72 Lake Course is challenging with tight, narrow fairways bordered by lush, green terraces. Given that the resort’s other course, the Mountain, is designed by Jack Nicklaus, it’s a golfing nirvana and the golf lodges and villas offer perfect overnight luxury.

Ranking far about these two stalwarts of the Chinese golf scene – both of whom simultaneously claim to be the nation’s best – is a comparative newcomer, Shanqin Bay Golf Club on Bao-ao, Hainan Island, off the south coast, near Guangdong. The tropical island location is only one tick-in-the-box of many. It overlooks the South China Sea, has a white sandy beach alongside and is the work of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw, whose work includes Tasmania’s Lost Farm at Barnbougle – elements of which you can find delicately echoed in Shanqin Bay. There’s the roughest of rough terrain, wind-swept fairways abound and ridge-top greens that you’ll need to be careful not to miss. It’s a coastal course that is almost as challenging to play as it was to build on this mountainous landscape. The only thing harder, in fact, is getting a tee time; it’s super exclusive (a reported double-digit membership), but if you do manage to get on, that exclusivity means you and your playing partners will rarely see other golfers all day. >

谓举世无双——剩下的就是如何让高尔夫 球迷们满意了。球道难度太大，他们可能会 担心自己的差点；难度太小，他们恐怕不愿 远道而来。而对于旅游至此，只想在绝美的 胜地打上两杆的游客来说，中国诸多偏远景 区里随便哪个高尔夫球场都无甚差别。 玉龙雪山高尔夫球场位于云南省，名字 正是取自球场对面的玉龙雪山。球场海拔高 达3,100米，在世界上名列第2位；72杆的球 道长度位居世界第1；其中第5号洞——标准 杆5杆洞，长度为711码，居世界之首。这一 球场不仅创造了世界纪录，更是一处自然奇 观，天然林地，美不胜收。球道看似不难，想 要得分却并不容易——长度最短的第4号洞 也足有436码。虽则不必奢望降低自己的差 点，不过玉龙雪山美景在前，足以慰藉那一 点点忧愁了。 同样位于云南省的石林国际乡村俱乐部 拥有3个风景如画的球场。猜得没错，这3个 国际锦标赛级高尔夫球场就坐落于联合国 教科文组织认证的世界遗产石林景区旁，球 场在喀斯特地貌之中蜿蜒延展，行走其中仿 佛置身于石器时代。在形态各异、气势磅礴 的奇石之间，您真正是在世界最伟大的自然 奇观之中尽情挥杆，这种体验无与伦比。您 当然需要留心被石壁反弹回来的高尔夫球， 不过，如此引人入胜的球场可是世上难寻。 3座百强球场 高尔夫 球 爱 好 者 往 往 从《 高尔夫 文 摘 》 （Golf Digest）评选的百强球场开始自己 的愿望清单之旅。中国的高尔夫球市场尚处 于初级阶段，有鉴于此，在这份主要被美国 和英国球场占领的百强名单中，3座榜上有 名的中国球场十分抢眼。 上海佘山国际高尔夫球场常年上榜，目 前排在第86位。自2005年以来，世锦赛-汇

THE RECORD-BREAKING RESORT

The naturally breathtaking and hottest-ticket-in-town get rolled into one when it comes to Mission Hills, without doubt the daddy of all golfing utopias in China.

It has exclusivity and accessibility all at the same time, but with an incredible 22 courses across three sites forming a 40 square kilometre golfing playground, that’s hardly surprising. What started out as a solitary golf course with a clubhouse in 1992, expanded quickly after winning the rights to host the World Cup of golf. The clubhouse was soon joined by a five-star hotel, two courses became four, then five (by 2001), one site became three, and in the relative blink of an eye China had the world’s biggest golf resort.

All three resorts lie in the south: Shenzhen (10 courses) and Dongguan (five) are pretty much adjoined, whereas the world-record holder Haikou is on the tropical island of Hainan with its dozen courses over 20 square kilometres. The 350-acre Blackstone – given its name by the volcanic rock on which it’s built – is the signature course, and rightly so having given World Cup contenders in 2011 plenty of testing times with its testing route that’s been carved out of the most rugged landscape and thick vegetation, not to mention wetlands and lakelands.

You could write an endless tome on platitudes for the golf of Mission Hills, but for some, its key attraction exists off the course. Not content with just offering up your predictable five-star spa and hotel offering, or even restaurants serving up every cuisine both local and European, Mission Hills also has some very notable extras. It could be the 44,000 square metres of volcanic mineral springs that grab your attention, or maybe even the water theme park with its slides, water guns, beach soccer and volleyball courts. Perhaps even more tempting, could be the new Centreville complex, a vast entertainment, retail and leisure complex that includes one of the world’s largest duty free shopping malls, a cinema, restaurants and hotels including a Ritz-Carlton and Hard Rock Hotel.

创纪录的度假区 观澜湖高尔夫球场集令人惊叹的自然美景与 最令人向往的设施于一身，毫无疑问是中国 最完美的高尔夫球度假区。 观澜湖在3地共有22个球场，占地40平 方公里，因此这里同时可供会员和访客使用 也就不足为奇了。1992年，观澜湖高尔夫球 会成立，主办了高尔夫球世界杯决赛之后迎 来了快速发展，建设了1座五星级酒店，球场 从2个增加到4个，2001年增加到5个，度假 区从1个城市发展到3个城市，转瞬之间，中 国已然拥有了世界上规模最大的高尔夫球度 假区。 在3个度假区中，拥有10个球场的深圳 度假区与拥有5个球场的东莞度假区几乎毗 邻，而创造了世界纪录的海口度假区则坐落

于热带的海南岛上。7个球场共占地超过20 平方公里，其中标志性的黑石球场占地350 英亩，建于火山熔岩上并因此而得名。黑石 球场地形极为崎岖，植被茂密且湿地和湖区 众多，在2011年高尔夫世界杯上，比赛选手 们可是受到了不小的考验。 用来描述观澜湖球场的溢美之词足以写 成一部大部头著作，但是对一些人而言，其 最大的吸引力却在球场之外。除了您能想到 的五星级水疗、酒店服务以及一应俱全的当 地和欧式美食之外，观澜湖还有许多非常值 得体验的项目。您可以享受占地44,000平方 米的火山岩温泉，也可以到水上主题公园尽 情探索水上滑梯、水枪、沙滩足球和排球等 娱乐活动。 更让人心动的或许是新建的海口观澜湖

GOLF

新城，这是一个集娱乐、购物和休闲于一体 的大型综合体，有世界上最大的免税购物中 心、影城、餐厅和酒店，丽思卡尔顿和硬石酒 店也位于其中。 但是最奢华的桂冠应属于观澜湖、华谊 影视和著名导演冯小刚联合创立的电影公 社。这一电影主题景区以冯小刚电影中的场 景为蓝本建设而成。1942风情街仿照电影 《温故1942》建成，集中展示了民国时期重 庆、武汉、南京和上海的建筑风情，行走其 中，仿佛穿越回到了数十年以前的旧日时光。 其他街区则带您回到20世纪，比如50年 代的北京风情街，欧洲教堂广场区，影人星 光大道，当然还有真正的影视基地，您可以 亲身感受电影的拍摄过程。 说起传统的高尔夫球度假区，电影公社 似乎与之并不搭调，但是观澜湖本身就是如 此。不同于其他任何高尔夫球度假区，观澜 湖致力于在球场内外都做到举世无双。它不 怯于满足儿童的愿望，也不惧于打破高尔夫 球度假区的一切俗约。 整 座电影公社依 托于一部电影中的城 市，而这部电影又源于一座现实中的城市， 而观澜湖把这一切变得合情合理。 高尔夫球度假区的配套设施与高尔夫球 本身交相辉映，世界上可能独此一家。不管 怎样，最终的赢家还是热爱高尔夫球运动的 游客。不过，想到黑石球场上的一些球洞， 您的差点或许要算唯一的输家了。 毋庸置疑，如果观澜湖的宏伟目标得以 实现，中国在高尔夫球运动中的巨大潜力将 以超越人们想象的速度迸发出来。

But most extravagant of all has to be Movie Town, a collaboration between Mission Hills, a film studio and famed Chinese movie director Feng Xiaogang.

Together they built a whole town based on famous scenes from Xiagang’s flicks. You’ll find ‘districts’ such as 1942 Street, based on the film Back to 1942, which is basically an area full of buildings from the Republican era across four cities – Chongqing, Wuhan, Nanjing and Shanghai – allowing you to effectively step back in time.

Other areas take you to the 19th century; 1950s Beijing; an area of European churches and town squares; an Avenue of Stars featuring international celebrities; and of course an actual movie studio, so you can see how the real thing is made.

Movie Town might seem at odds with your traditional golf resort setting, but so too is Mission Hills. Unlike any other golfing destination on the planet, it’s made every effort to be world-beating both on the course and off it. It doesn’t shy away from giving the kids exactly what they want and isn’t afraid to break with every golf resort convention in order to do so.

Even with a whole town based on a town in a film, which is based on a town in real life, Mission Hills makes total sense. It’s perhaps the only golf resort in the world where the sideshows battle the golf for headline status. Either way, the real winner is the golf traveller. And, given some of the holes on Blackstone, perhaps the only loser is your handicap.

One thing is for sure: if the ambition of Mission Hills is anything to go by, China’s famed golfing potential will be realised sooner than anyone could possibly think.

温泉之乡

D AY L E S F O R D

这座僻静的乡村小镇与宁静的温泉之乡相得益 彰。戴尔斯福德（Dayslesford）可谓集澳大利亚 所有精华于一身。 The charm of a secluded country town meets the tranquility of spa country: Daylesford is a sum of all the best things Australia has to offer

T

he 90-minute jaunt from Melbourne to Daylesford, Australia’s most loved spa town, takes you through nearly every Australian landscape. City, wine country, scruffy farmland, dense bush and finally the small country town nestled in bushland that is the very meaning of the word “quaint”. A rolling fog shrouds the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, adding some extra theatre as you pull into town. Golden leafed trees lead you along Main Road, the route through town acting as a hub for the surrounding spas and restaurants that have made this weekend town famous Settled in 1855, Daylesford was originally known for the lavish production of potatoes thanks to its rich volcanic soil. Fortunately, today that rich soil and landscape has been put to better use – and a little more our style. With only 2,000 or so residents in town, it’s far from booming, but that’s exactly what gives it its charm.

The twin towns of Daylesford and Hepburn have a long tradition of using the natural springs to rejuvenate and revitalise. As the home to the largest concentration of mineral springs in Australia, rich in magnesium, calcium and silica, the region’s holistic springs have long been believed to cure all sorts of afflictions. In the late 1800s, gold sluicing was even halted to protect the springs, leading to the Hepburn Bathhouse and Mineral Spring Reserve being built. >

尔斯福德是澳大利亚最受欢迎的温泉小镇，距 离墨尔本仅有90分钟，一路上您几乎可以领略 澳 大利亚的各种风情。城市、酒乡、脏乱的农 田、茂密的树丛以及最后坐落于丛林之中的乡村小镇，让 人真切地体味到“怪诞”一词的含义。当您把车开进小镇 时，大分岭（Great Dividing Range）山脚下笼罩的滚 滚浓雾别添一番风味。这座周末小镇以温泉和餐厅而闻 名遐迩。主路（Main Road）两旁耸立着金黄叶子的树 木，横穿整个小镇，是去往周边温泉和餐厅的枢纽。 戴尔斯福德成立于1855年，得益于其肥沃的火山土 壤，这里最初以盛产土豆而闻名。幸运的是，如今人们把 肥沃的土壤和当地的景观更好地利用起来，虽然与传统 风格略有不同。戴尔斯福德这座小镇只有2,0 0 0左右的 居民，远谈不上繁荣，但这就是它的魅力所在。戴尔斯 > 121

Hepburn Bathhouse is the oldest and largest spa in the region and after a recent remodel and expansion should be your number one stop to ease those weary bones. Built in 1895, the historic bathhouse has become something of an icon for the region. Surrounded by lush rainforest, you’ll be able to take a load off indoors in the main communal mineral water pool with views of the rainforest outside. However, if you’d rather something more private or specific, you can also treat yourself to one of the treatments in the sanctuary, including relaxation pools, aroma steam rooms and a salt therapy pool. Located on the original Mineral Spring Reserve, there’s easy access to the regional park, with walks and hikes for every level. They’re complete with oldfashioned pumps and pipes along the routes, with freeflowing natural mineral water straight from the stream from which you can drink directly.

A DASH OF PEPPERS While Hepburn Bathhouse is the most well known bathhouse in the region, that hasn’t stopped nearly every resort and hotel from jumping on the natural spring bandwagon. And why not? There’s plenty to go round.

Peppers Mineral Springs Hotel, originally built in 1935, has evolved into a romantically elegant boutique hotel complete with all the trimmings. Its grand 1930s style and surrounding hedge gardens create a classic atmosphere where enjoying a wine by the communal fireplace creates the feeling of the home you wish you had.

Chris Malden, owner of Peppers Mineral Springs Hotel (among other farms and hotels in Daylesford) has long been a part of the development of the area into what it has become today. “Twenty years ago when I was looking for an escape from the city we saw Daylesford as the perfect opportunity to make more accessible. But we didn’t want to just create new hotels and spas, we wanted to revitalise the old buildings, give them new life and maintain the history of the area.”

Of course, it’s the spa at Peppers that is worth the visit. The time-honoured ritual of “taking the waters” is made all the better when you can look out over the landscaped gardens and surrounding bushland. With 11 treatment rooms, a relaxation lounge and hydrotherapy baths as well as signature treatments, you’re sure to leave feeling refreshed. >

“THE TIME-HONOURED RITUAL OF ‘TAKING THE WATERS’ IS MADE ALL THE BETTER WHEN YOU CAN LOOK OUT OVER THE LANDSCAPED GARDENS AND SURROUNDING BUSHLAND” 福德和赫本（Hepburn）两座姊妹镇有着悠久的历史， 一直有使用天然泉水使 人们恢复活力和元气的传 统。 作为澳大利亚最大的矿泉聚集地，该地区的温泉富含镁、 钙和硅，长久以来一直被人们认为能够治愈各种烦恼。 19世纪末甚至停止金矿洗砂以保护这些温泉，这同时也 导致了赫本澡堂（Hepburn Bathhouse）和矿泉保护区 （Mineral Spring Reserve）的建立。 赫本澡堂是该地区最古老、规模最大的温泉，最近刚 刚经过改造和扩建，是您缓解旅途疲惫的第一目的地。 这座澡堂始建于1895年，极具历史意义，已经成为该地 区的一个象征。在茂密雨林的环抱中，您可以一边在室内 的公共矿泉中彻底放松自己，一边欣赏外边雨林的景色。 然而，如果希望拥有更多私人空间或别致体验，您可以前 往这里的理疗池，包括放松池、芳香蒸汽室和盐浴理疗 池。赫本澡堂位于原矿泉保护区内，从这里可以方便地步 行前往区域公园（Regional Park）。沿途散布着老式水 泵和管道，里面流动着的是天然矿泉水，可以直接饮用。 尽管赫本澡 堂是在该地区最广为人知的澡 堂，这并 不能阻止几乎每个度假村和酒店追随天然泉水的潮流。 而且，为什么不呢？周边还有很多好去处。佩珀温泉酒店 （Peppers Mineral Springs Hotel）始建于1935年，现 已发展成为浪漫优雅的精品酒店，各种设施齐全。酒店 为20世纪30年代的宏伟建筑风格，加上周围环绕的篱笆 园，营造出一种古典的氛围。在公共壁炉旁品鉴美酒，让 您拥有家一般的感觉。 克里斯·马尔登（Chris Malden）是佩珀温泉酒店的 店主，同时也是在戴尔斯福德其他多家农场和酒店的主 人，并且一直参与该地区的发展建设。 “20年前，我努力 寻找一个远离城市的所在，戴尔斯福德更为便利的交通 为我们提供了一个绝佳的机会。但我们想做的不仅仅是建 造新的酒店和温泉，我们想要给这里带来新的生命和活 力，让它的历史得以延续。” 当然，佩珀温泉酒店的温泉绝对值得一游。当您一边 按照古老的习俗进行“矿泉疗养”，一边俯瞰花园和周围 的灌木丛时，一切变得更加美好。这里有11间理疗室、1间 休息室和数个水疗浴室，搭配特色疗法，您离开的时候肯 定会感觉神清气爽。 在温 泉之乡您能做的也只有泡温 泉，但幸好戴 尔斯 福德也不乏各类美食。戴尔斯福德在维多利亚州的地 > 123

“ENVELOPED BY FIELDS OF LAVENDER, SAULT IS ONE OF THE MOST FAIRYTALE-LIKE RESTAURANTS IN THE REGION”

D AY L E S F O R D

Of course, even in spa country there’s only so much bathing you can do, so fortunately Daylesford is no stranger to good food as well. Perfectly located among Victorian farmland, the only thing that can match Daylesford’s spring water is its produce. Also located in Peppers, the chef-hatted Argus Dining Room represents the elegant charm and attention to detail for which the area has come to be known. With meat and vegetables picked fresh from Argus’ very own farm at Vale Hill, the team at Argus is dedicated to weaving Daylesford directly onto the plate. The modern Australian seasonal menu emphasises fresh and regional flavours. Dishes like the beef cooked in ash with pumpkin puree and radish or the rhubarb gingerbread with chocolate gelato are some of the standouts, but with inventive chef David Willcocks and a seasonal menu, you’ll be sampling something new straight from the farm every visit.

A PINCH OF SAULT On the edge of town, enveloped by fields of lavender and a wedding chapel on a lake lies Sault, one of the most fairytale-like restaurants in the region. Housed inside an unassuming stone cottage, Sault opens up into a bright, high-ceilinged space overlooking lavender fields adorned with fresh flowers and rustic timber floors and furniture. The team at Sault, led by head chef Santiago Nine-Fernandez, continually reinvent the menu, adding some truly unique regional flavours that draw travellers back every season. >

理位 置绝佳，唯一配得上其泉水的就是 这 里的农作物 了。同样位于佩珀温泉酒店的厨师帽餐厅Argus Dining Room，很好地体现了该地区的优雅魅力和对细节的注 重，这也是该地区为人们所熟知的特点。这里新鲜的肉 类和蔬菜都源自阿格斯（Argus）自己在淡水河谷农场区 （Vale Hill Farm）的农场，Argus Dining Room的团 队努力将戴尔斯福德直接从农场搬上您的餐桌。现代澳 大利亚季节性菜单十分强调新鲜和区域特色，像烤牛肉 配南瓜泥和水萝卜，或大黄姜饼配巧克力冰淇淋都是其 中的一些 佼佼者。富于发明创新的厨师大卫·威科克斯 （David Willcocks），再加上季节性菜单，能够确保您 在每次造访时都能品尝一些直接来自农场的美味。 小镇边 缘，Sa u l t 餐厅被 湖上 成片的薰衣草 和 一座 婚礼教 堂 所 包围，它是该地区最 具童 话 色 彩的一家餐 厅。Sault餐厅所在的石屋十分低调，进去后则是明亮、 高高的天花板，俯瞰着熏衣草花田，里面装饰有鲜花和质 朴的木地板和家具。Sault餐厅的团队在主厨圣地亚哥· 耐恩-费尔南德斯（Santiago Nine-Fernandez）的带领 下，不断对菜单进行创新，开发出一些真正独具特色的区 域风味美食，吸引了不少的回头客。 开胃菜有再新 鲜 不过的季节性 蔬 菜、M a h ó n奶酪 球、蘑菇和佛手柑清汤。店主约迪·弗洛克哈 特（Jod i Flockhart）和她的丈夫达明（Damien）8年多前创办了 Sault餐厅，此后不断扩建，作为餐厅和婚礼场地使用。现 在，这对夫妇仍在餐厅和酒吧工作。 “我们这里的农产 > 125

Starting with entrées like seasonal vegetables, Mahón cheese spheres with mushroom and bergamot consommé, you can’t get much fresher. Owners Jodi Flockhart and her husband Damien started at Sault over eight years ago and have continually expanded on the space as a restaurant and wedding venue. Still working on the floor of the restaurant and behind the bar, the couple bring some much-appreciated familiarity to the experience. “It’s really enriching to work with such amazing regional produce and wine. It has also been great to find chefs that really understand what Sault is trying to capture and leave the creativity up to them,” Jodi says. “Also, you can’t leave without trying the white chocolate and lemon soft-centred fondant.”

AND ALL THE REST A weekend of eating and being pampered will exhaust even the best of us, so a decent place to lay your head is a must. If you ask the locals or any regular Daylesford visitor, you’ll hear of The Lake House, situated directly on (you guessed it) Lake Daylesford. The rooms overlooking the lake range from smaller studios to luxurious suites, but it’s The Retreat that’s really worth your time: a secluded country cottage tucked into the grounds at The Lake House complete with fireside leather lounges, stocked bar and wine fridge, private parking and two spacious bedrooms.

While you could easily spend your days secluded in luxury, the property is one that demands you explore all its ins and outs. Six acres of lush gardens filled with wobbling ducks, tennis courts, cooking schools and vegetable patches you can sample lead you directly to the lake shore. Whether you’re exploring the grounds dotted with sculptures from local artists, relaxing at the in-house spa, popping into co-owner and resident artist Allan Wolf-Tasker’s personal painting studio or sitting down for a bite to eat at the renowned two-chef-hatted Lake House restaurant under the direction of culinary heavyweight Alla Wolf-Tasker (yes, that’s Alla and Allan!), it’s safe to say you’ll never be wanting for more to do.

With several organic farms only minutes away, the team headed by chef David Green sources everything fresh daily, creating every dish and side from scratch – right down to the bread and charcuterie range. Meat, sheep and goat’s milk cheese, heirloom fruit from old orchards and windfalls from local gardens come into the kitchen each morning. The menu is designed to reflect the season and continues to find new ways to surprise guests.

Dishes like butter poached pheasant with chestnuts and farrow in autumn; spring lamb with asparagus and morels; or the golden roasted free range chicken of summer with corn and yabbies are just some of what you might sample.

Daylesford might just be the whole package as a weekender town: great food and a spa on every corner mixed with a tranquil farm-meets-bush environment. And that’s not to mention all the galleries, cafes and private retreats it has attracted. This might be a small town, but taking it slow and keeping it simple is the whole point here. Meander around the lake, sample some local dishes and, most importantly, soak up those healing natural minerals for which Daylesford is known.

Bentley goes further It’s the first Bentley to run on diesel… but is the economical version of the Bentayga really up to the brand’s magnificent standards?

No matter how healthy your bank account, we live in belt-tightening times. As a nod to this, frugal buyers can now purchase their $335,000 Bentley Bentayga SUV with an efficient diesel engine.

Now one can crank up the air con, revel in the flawless leather and zip along at up to 270kmh without the worry of ever-rising petrol prices.

It’s the small things that make a difference.

Of course, as austerity measures go, this is a pretty painless one. For a start, the 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 diesel is so quiet, you’d have to get your head under the bonnet to notice it. There’s no compromise with speed, either – the Bentayga is the world’s fastest diesel SUV. With SUVs, though, top speed is rarely a concern. Buyers tend to look at power first – after all, you never know when you might want to tow your yacht to a new marina. Naturally, the Bentayga continues to impress with 320kW of power and an incredible 900Nm of torque.

The torque is made usable by an eight-speed automatic gearbox that can get you from a standing start to 100kmh in just 4.8 seconds.

There’s no lag between pressing the throttle and getting the power, either; the Bentayga pushes you back into its plush seats with genuine urgency. It’s all so undiesel-y.

So what’s Bentley’s secret? They’ve rethought how to force induction through the engine. In a typical diesel, exhaust pressure pushes air through a turbocharger (or turbochargers) to get the car moving quickly. However, the engineers behind the Bentayga diesel have added

132

SPECS Engine 4.0 litre twin-turbocharged Diesel with E-Compressor Max power 320 kw @ 3,750-5,000 rpm Max torque 900 Nm Acceleration 0 - 100 kmh 4.8 seconds Max speed 270 kmh Kerb Weight 2,499 kg Length 5,140 mm

an electric compressor that can push extra air into the turbocharger within 30 milliseconds of you hitting the go pedal.

That little boost of whoosh when the revs are still low means instant momentum in situations where other diesel drivers are still waiting for their turbo to kick in.

Mind you, if ever there was a car you’d be happy having a marginally longer journey in, it’d be this one. The materials used in the cabin are second to none – as you might expect – while the technology includes a head-up display, high-resolution maps, and the ability to read road signs to keep you abreast of the speed limit.

And, thanks to all the money you’ve saved by choosing an economical diesel engine, it should feel like no hardship to get the optional Linley Hamper by Mulliner. Treat yourself, you’ve earned it.

Crafty devils

Gin, the juniper-flavoured grain spirit, is having a renaissance – and Australia’s craft distillers are up there with the best, reckons Alex Mead Depending on whether you’re reading this from an Australian or Chinese perspective, your view on the “gin craze” will be wildly different. If it’s the former, then you’ll know it’s the drop of choice for every discerning drinker and that a week barely passes without a new craft gin distiller getting its copper pot still up and running. If it’s the latter, well, it could be the only beefeater you know of are the ones with the funny outfits you saw guarding the Tower of London when you visited the British capital.

But in the US, Canada, Britain, Europe and Australia, gin is the spirit capturing the imagination of bartenders, mixologists and, of course, hipsters. A negroni – gin, Campari, vermouth – tops the list of signatures at any bar worth its salt-rimmed glasses. If not a negroni, then definitely a gin martini (ideally the James Bond favourite, the Vesper: gin with vodka and the French aperitif Kina Lillet); and, of course, the simplistic gin and tonic is a drink order that needs to be overheard.

Just as the US and England have had a swathe of craft gin distillers emerge with their vintage-style brands and bottles like a swarm of ice-cream sellers in a heatwave, so too has Australia. It goes handin-hand with the bar scene that has seen a rash of boutique cocktail joints emerge due to a change in the licensing laws. Australian spirit lovers are making up for lost time, and already we have some brilliant craft gin makers. The Navy-strength (57%) from McHenry Distillery in Tasmania is among the best (and has the awards to prove it), while fellow Aussie isle Kangaroo Island has a wonderfully herby, earthy Wild Gin that uses native juniper to give it a seasonality that few distillers can match. Batches of just 45 bottles make it super premium, too. Melbourne, meanwhile, is never far from any trend, and suitably the efforts of Melbourne Gin Company pay dividends to the drinker: you get a gin with botanicals both local and exotic from grapefruit and rosemary to macadamia, orris and cassia, the mix giving it some complex notes, but ones that make a cracking martini.

As for those in China, or those heading there, The Distillery in Beijing is an oasis in a city where hotels are the mainstay for the gin drinker.

The name isn’t just for show – not only do they serve the best gins from around the world and make arguably the city’s best martini, but they also make their own London dry gin. China might not have quite taken to gin just yet, but in The Distillery it has a good starting point.

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

Marchesa Spring/Summer RTW 2017

Seductive and subtle, the Spring/ Summer 2017 RTW runways have introduced a tantalising take on eveningwear. Lace intertwined with silk and embroidered tulle were sashayed down the runway at the Marchesa and Christian Dior shows, while Gucci opted for embellished chiffon, giving an edgier look to a usually conservative dress code. In typical Monique Lhuillier fashion, she took a present day trend and repurposed it to create gowns that look like they’ve been plucked from a fairytale’s wardrobe. This trend is a clear winner.

I was born into the business, and as a child I watched my dad work countless hours designing and manufacturing jewellery. I then saw my brother follow his lead. They were so passionate and determined together. I realised from a very young age that I wanted to be a part of the magic, and my love for jewellery grew from there. 我从出生就开始接触家族生意。小时候，我看 到父亲一连好几个小时专注地设计和制作珠 宝，后来我看到哥哥追随父亲的脚步，开始设 计、采购和挑选钻石和宝石。他们一起工作的 时候是那么地充满激情和执着。于是我从很小 的年纪就知道，我希望加入这个充满魔力的事 业，我对珠宝的热爱从那时候就开始了。
