e welcome you to Hong Kong and to CityLife , the monthly magazine for visitors to Asia’s world city.

The weather this time of the year is hot and humid, so there is no better time than now to visit the many beaches of Hong Kong.

Our famous harbour lights up more than usual with the display of the Hong Kong 3D Pulse Light Show which is held nightly from 5-28 August at the open plaza of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui. It’s 8 minutes of dazzled music, sound and light that surely will enthrall the audience young and old.

For music lovers, the exciting Asian Youth Orchestra will perform again at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Led by its founder, Richard Pontizious, and its lead conductor James Budd, the Orchestra will perform works by famed composers including Copeland, Dvorak and Tchaikovsky.

“I’ll be back!”- yes, he is back- Ar nold Schwarzenegger is coming to Hong Kong to host the first annual Arnold Classic Asia Multi-sport Festival featuring live sports, health and fitness seminars and activities and sports stars! Just meeting the Arnold maybe a thrill enough.

Children of the Gods 眾 神 之 子 In the past child mortality was high and Chinese parents wanted to do everything to protect their offspring from the evil spirits who wanted to carry them off. 過去中國小孩的死亡率很高，父母會想盡一切辦法保護後代，讓他們不被邪靈傷害。

I

t has always been the ambition of Chinese parents to have many sons since girls married out and went to live with their husband’s family, usually in another village albeit close by. Sons stayed in the home and hopefully brought good fortune. In poorer families, boys were needed to help with manual labour, while for those more fortunate families, the success of sons in the imperial civil service examinations, which were not open to girls, brought continuing wealth and honour to the family and clan. Moreover, male heirs were needed to ensure the continuation of the clan as well as to perform the very necessary ritual ceremonies of ancestor worship.

Symbolism and superstition play an important part in Chinese folklore, with certain objects or species being endowed with protective or propitious properties. Because the Chinese language is homophonic, many things are symbolic simply because their name sounds the same as something that is thought to be lucky. Accordingly, children’s clothing was

www.hkcitylife.com | AUGUST 2016

embroidered with flowers, fruit, animals, and insects, all designed to ward off evil as well as to bring future success to the wearer.

At the celebration of the first month after birth, the maternal grandmother presented sets of clothing for the infant, tailored along the same lines as the parents’. These comprised a red jacket, a green sleeveless waistcoat and divided trousers, a navel cover, and a hat. Later, a navel cover embroidered with lucky symbols was worn. Colors were bright, with reds and pinks favorites because these hues were considered auspicious.

Often an apron (toutou) was the only item of clothing worn by the child in the summer months until it was two or three years old.

As long as the garment was embroidered with lucky charms, the mother felt the child was quite safe. A silver or bai tong (German silver) padlock was often given to the child, inscribed with propitious characters and symbols around the neck to “lock the child to earth.” Another common item was an anklet

中國的父母總是更偏好生兒子，因為女兒會嫁 到另一條村子與夫家同住，雖然通常並不太

遠。兒子則會留在家中，希望能為家裡帶來好 運。在較貧窮的家庭中，兒子要負責體力勞動， 而在條件較好的家庭，兒子一旦在科舉中取得好 成績，就會為整個家族帶來源源不斷的財富及榮 譽，而科舉是不允許女子參加的。除此之外，男 性後裔更有繁衍後代、參加祭祖儀式的責任。 象徵意義及迷信思想在中國民間扮演著重要 角色，某些特定的物品和物種被賦予了守護及吉 利的含義。因為中文屬同音異義文字，很多物品 的名字發音與帶來好運的物品發音相似，因此被 賦予象徵意義。小孩們的衣服也會繡上花、水 果、動物及昆蟲等，同樣也是為了驅邪及帶來好 運。 新生兒滿月時，外婆會為寶寶準備幾套衣 服，與父母的衣服款式相近，其中包括一件紅色 上衣、一件綠色無袖背心、一條褲子、一件裹肚 以及一頂帽子。寶寶再長大一點後，會穿上繡著 象徵好運的圖案的裹肚，顏色明亮，最常見的是 紅色及粉紅色，因為這兩種顏色被認為是吉利的 顏色。 兩三歲之前，小孩在夏天通常只穿一件肚

with silver bell charms to sound the alarm if an evil spirit was attempting abduction. There were other silver charms and a common one was Shou Xing riding a qilin. Hats might also be decorated with a set of silver figures of the eight immortals.

Children’s hats are often in delightful forms. A common type is an animal hat made to represent a lion, tiger or dog, which would emulate the strength and ferocity of the animal. All hats had ears to hear evil approaching, large protruding eyes to spot danger, and a mouth full of bared teeth. Some animal hats had another animal on top of the hat to give greater protection to the child. An embroidered back flap was added to cover the back of the neck in cold weather. No evil spirit would dare come close!

As the child grew older he might have a scholar’s hat to attract good fortune when taking the important examinations. As mentioned above success in the imperial civil service examinations was always the ultimate aim as it led to appointment as a Government official of Mandarin. This was in effect a guarantee to wealth and status.

Carrying a baby on the mother’s back was the custom in Hong Kong until the latter years of the twentieth century. For any woman who had to do manual work, it was a safe place to keep a child out of mischief. The maternal

grandmother presented the child with a carrier when it was a month old and able to leave home for the first time. This was made from a square of cotton or hemp cloth, with long strips of fabric extending from the corners of the square to form straps. The centers were embroidered or else left plain.

Like the other accessories, footwear was often made in the form of a dog, cat, tiger, or pig to frighten away bad spirits. Features such as large eyes to see evil lurking, large ears to hear it, and whiskers to feel it, combined to suggest the creature being represented. On special occasions, very young children wore satin booties when carried in a baby carrier.

Viewed from the front as the mother and child approached, they looked very colourful as most were made in bright colours and embroidered with designs of the dragon or phoenix, a mythical bird signifying goodness and benevolence and the hope the wearer would rise high in society.

Clothed in garments all designed to give the child good fortune it is a wonder that some did not achieve greatness. However, the child could not look back later in life and say that his parents hadn’t done their best. Often mothers would preserve their child’s garments and examples can often been found in antique shops. They are a delight and who knows, they might even bring you good luck. ■

Hong Kong summers are hot and humid.

Not surprisingly, locals flock to the beach in droves, and so should you! 香港的夏天炎熱潮濕，不妨加入本地人 的隊伍，向海灘進發！

ong Kong, surprisingly, boasts having one of the longest coastlines for a major city, and, as a ratio to its area, Hong Kong is one of the highest in the world: 733 kilometers of coastline out of 1,104 square kilometers of land area. This is due to the meandering nature of its coastline plus the many islands the city has within its boundary - 233 in all, to be precise. Better yet, Hong Kong’s coastline contains many beaches and bays with mild, gentle waves, with many suitable for swimming.

By contrast, Singapore has a land area of 719 sq. km but only has a coastline of 193 kilometers.

And the city has some of the regions’ best and prettiest beaches. In all there are over 100 beaches in Hong Kong suitable for swimming, of which over 40 are managed by Government which usually means provision of services, life guards, and shark prevention nets. The variety of beaches in Hong Kong will astound you, so, depending on the time you have available and preference, be sure to visit as many as you can.

Tai Long Wan 大浪灣

GO THE DISTANCE 海灘探險

Long Ke Wan 浪茄灣

Prepare yourself for real adventure at these beaches each with their own claim to fame:

Sai Kung: Tai Long Wan & Long Ke Wan

We won’t beat around the bush – in Hong Kong’s northeastern wild frontiers lie the best beaches in the territory. But be warned, their beauty is matched only by the difficulty of getting there. Delicate, white sand and blue waters await the patient traveller that makes the two-hour journey by land or sea.

Tai Long Wan

Over the years, more and more people have been making the pilgrimage to these four breath-taking interconnected beaches. These gems sit on the most easterly fringes of the New Territories, a great escape from the concrete, high-rise jungle of urban Hong Kong. You can either hike to the first beach from Sai Wan Pavilion (1-2 hours) or take a boat from Sai Kung Town (~30 minutes).

Beach #1: Sai Wan Grab a bite here to reward yourself. The adventurous can pop into the small waterfall flowing into Sheung Luk stream (follow it from the bridge) and cliff-jump 8 metres to the small rock pool.

Beach #2: Ham Tin Rent your surfboards and camping gear. Many stop here to set up shelter for the night; this is the last stop for food and drink.

Beach #3: Tai Wan Isolated in its beauty. High waves make this a surfer’s paradise. Be careful of the strong currents.

Beach #4: Tung Wan A smaller strip of sand that most never arrive at.

From MTR Diamond Hill Station Exit C2, take bus 92 to Sai Kung Bus Terminus. At Sai Kung Town (outside McDonald's) take NR29 minibus to Sai Wan Pavilion, the start of the hike. Or take a taxi. To skip the hike, hire a boat to Tai Long Wan from Sai Kung Town.

Long Ke Wan

The beautiful geological formations, beyond the seclusion and powdery white sand, are what make this beach special. From the beginning of the hike (East Dam, part of the Unesco Geopark network), to the far reaches of the wide beach, the landscape is stunning. Don’t forget to bring food and water, as the area is bereft of vendors. From Sai Kung Town, take a green cab to East Dam. Follow the trail down to the beach (~30 minutes).

以下介紹的幾個海灘都頗具聲名，也各有特色，但要到達，還需花一 番功夫。因此， 準備好接受真正的挑戰吧：

西貢：大浪灣及浪茄灣 香港東北部的郊野有着這座城市最令人讚歎的海灘。然而，風景越優 美的地方，前往的路途往往也越艱辛。這裡，細柔的白沙和蔚藍的海 水一直等待着那些不畏遠途，搭乘各種交通工具跋涉兩小時而來的旅 客們。

大浪灣

大浪灣共有四個沙灘，均坐落於新界西貢最東部，沿海岸由南向東依 次排列，其風景之美，攝人心魄，是逃離城市鋼筋水泥叢林不可多得 的世外去處。幾年間，不畏長途，遠道而來的遊客越來越多。你可以 從西灣亭徒步遠足至西灣（1-2小時），或者從西貢市坐船前往（大 約30分鐘） 海灘 #1: 西灣 – 先在這裡填下肚子犒勞自己。熱愛探險的人則可以前 往雙鹿石澗，登上瀑布串連的四疊潭崖頂，縱身從8米高的 崖上躍入水潭中。 海灘 #2: 鹹田灣 – 許多人在這裡紮營過夜，你可提前租好露營裝備和 衝浪板。這裡也是沿途能獲得補給的最後一站。 海灘 #3: 大灣 – 此處風景優美，彷彿與世隔絕，而海面巨浪使其成為 衝浪者的天堂，但需小心避免受到巨浪衝擊。 海灘 #4: 東灣 – 能夠最終到達這塊小沙灘的人並不多。由港鐵鑽石山 站C2出口搭乘92號巴士到達西貢巴士總站。在西貢市（麥當 勞外面）乘坐NR29號小巴前往西貢亭，開始遠足。或者搭 乘出租車，跳過遠足環節，在西貢市僱船前往大浪灣。

浪茄灣

在細膩的沙灘，遺世獨立的海景風光之外，此處優美的地質結構為這 一地方更添別緻。從此次遠足的起點（萬宜水庫東壩，屬於香港地質 公園一部分）到這一片廣闊沙灘的盡頭，沿途風景動人，令人摒息。 別忘了自備水和食物，因為這一帶沒有任何小店。從西貢市乘坐綠色 出租車到達東壩，沿着小徑一直走到海灘（約30分鐘）。

From the Pier turn right and walk along the family trail to the beach.

南丫島 島上的生活帶一絲嬉皮氣息，極受推崇。你可於此處享受慢生活，隨 意闖入一場BBQ派對，或在洪聖爺海灘舉辦一場屬於自己的派對，食 材可從榕樹灣村購得。或者，你也可以坐進一家岸邊的海鮮餐廳，於 餐盤上盡享剛從海中捕撈上岸的美味。這裡的海灘同時還是觀星的好 地方（假如你不介意島上發電站高聳的煙管）。於中環四號碼頭搭乘 渡輪前往榕樹灣（約30分鐘），到達碼頭後右轉，沿家樂徑一路走到 海灘。

Cheung Chau Island: Tung Wan Beach

An Olympic windsurfing champion once trained on these waves.

ugged Mountains, jagged coastlines, sandy beaches, spectacular harbour, overlapping skyscrapers, people, and more people: Hong Kong is a paradise for professional and amateur photographers alike. And it’s the contrast of urban and natural beauties that produces memorable images.

So whether it’s your cell phone or you fancy SLR lens digital camera with wide-angle lenses, go check out our recommended spots and bring home with you memorable images of Hong Kong.

高低起伏的山巒、曲折蜿蜒的海岸線、舒適的沙灘、壯麗的 海港、林立的摩天大廈，還有稠密的人口，香港是專業

e love trying new restaurants- well, who wouldn’t- but especially this one that oozes promise and anticipation given the location and its operator’s excellent history of managing quality restaurants. So we arrived at ALTO, the just opened restaurant at V Point, also a brand new trendy highrise food-centric complex in the heart of Causeway Bay- which itself is destined to be a popular gathering point, eagerly exploring the food to come.

ALTO occupies the entire top floor of V Point, from which the panoramic views overlooking the Victoria and Happy Valley Race Course are simply stunning- the effect enhanced by unobstructed full length windows wrapping the entire floor.

The restaurant is designed by internationally acclaimed British designer Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio. The décor, befitting a sophisticated and glamorous restaurant such as ALTO, draws inspiration form alchemy and the four classical elements with a monochrome backdrop, gold Mini Melt lights, brass fittings and marble floors.

Executive Chef Michael Boyle, who hails from Chicago and has been in Hong Kong for over 6 years, is the mastermind creating the menu. The cuisine, which is contemporary grill, draws on Chef’s almost 20 years cumulative experience at famed restaurants working with renowned chefs, provides a seasonal menu of quality items driven by French and Asian influences.

We started our meal in earnest with several starters that are shared: Foie Gras ($178) with almond spice waffle, grilled peach, pink peppercorn which blends the foie gras’ tender, salty flavour with

www.hkcitylife.com | AUGUST 2016

the sweet taste of the condiments. The Watermelon Salad ($118) with chili roasted feta cheese thyme & raisin vinaigrette is a house specialty, the combination refreshing amidst the summer heat. The Bibb Salad ($118) with fresh herbs, candied walnut and goat cheese introduces a sweeter but equally refreshing flavor. They were all quickly consumed.

Three main courses awaited us: A generous portion of USDA Ribeye ($398) from the grill was the centerpiece, the meat grilled to perfection. ALTO also offers Argentinian grass fed beef as well as Japanese Wagyu beef and Australian lamb, all to the delight of meat lovers.

Pan-roasted Duck Breast ($228) with beetroot, grapefruit, watercress and Roasted Branzino ($228) with fennel, cherry tomatoes and French Beans made up the other mains. The duck breast was succulent and tender; the fish was deboned which allows us to eat as much of the fish as possible, its texture is finely grained. The side courses come in generous portions: Grilled Corn ($68), Roasted Cauliflower ($68) , and Brussel Sprouts ($68), all healthy tasting vegetables that helped lessen our guilty pleasure of eating too much.

The atonement was short-lived, however, as tempting desserts awaited us; amazingly we still found room to finish the Apple Crumble ($68) and Crispy Banana ($78) before we called it a day.

Given its location and stunning views, ALTO is destined to be the latest hotspot on Hong Kong’s exuberant dining scene- be sure to give it a try and spend a most relaxed evening dining on exquisitely prepared food, and at surprisingly reasonable prices! ■

t’s hard to overemphasise Hong Kong’s status as a dining paradise not just for Cantonese food, but practically any regional or international cuisine.

And that includes Japanese food, a favourite of Hong Kong locals, and for which the city boasts a number of outstanding restaurants serving a variety of Japanese cuisines.

So for a Japanese meal to remember, we visited Unkai, the well-reputed restaurant located in the Sheraton Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, to try out its Omakase Dinner, meaning “Chef’s Choice”. We arrived at the restaurant full of anticipation and were warmly received by a friendly crew of sushi chefs whose pleasure and pride in what they serve us were plainly evident and who were more than willing to tell us the secrets of sushi making. The restaurant, which serves a full range of Japanese cuisines including Teppanyaki, was bustling. The ambience was relaxed, elegantly comfortable and appetite inducing.

Seated at the sushi counter, we made clear to the chefs our hopes to try their freshest sashimi and they did not disappoint. After whetting our appetite with a simple but tasty cold spinach dish, we got right down to business. We started with thin slices of stripped Jack sashimi accompanied by diced onion and red radish dipped in sour sauce, and beautifully presented. Sashimi is best savoured rather than devoured, so to allow the raw meat texture lingers in the mouth. Next came the scallops and giant clams served together – the tender succulent scallops contrast nicely with the crunchy texture of the clams. The pieces are, shall we say, quickly savoured, aided by an excellent choice of

www.hkcitylife.com | AUGUST 2016

cold sake suggested by the helpful staff.

We are in a rhythm now; next came the Toro Muscle, lightly grilled, which is one of the house specialties and which they serve only when available – be sure to ask for it. The Botan Shrimp, a large fresh shrimp that tastes meaty and slightly sweet, completes our sashimi selection. The head of the Botan shrimp is used in the miso soup that provides a welcome and flavourful break before we embark on our next session of chef’s delights which are, of course, sushi. Our sushi chefs were definitely in a good mood; in all, six sushi dishes were served: amber jack, the much-coveted blue fin fatty tuna (subject to availability), mackerel, rosy seabass, the mouth-watering Hokkaido sea urchin which is always a favourite, and finally the Coral Crab. Meticulously and lovingly prepared, the meat and the rice blend perfectly into a nice single bite each.

Undoubtedly, the making of sushi and sashimi is a studied skill, but it also forms an integral part of Japanese culinary culture at its finest: refined, thoughtful, and above all an occasion to be respected and treasured. Preparation and presentation aside, the key to a great sushi meal is still the quality and freshness of the fish, and the chefs at Unkai clearly ensure that only the finest and freshest fish and seafood are chosen.

Between great food, lively conversation, soothing sake and relaxed setting, we finished off a most pleasant dinner with ice cream and fresh fruit. And at the quite reasonable price of $1,200 per person for the Deluxe Omakase dinner set, the dinner is excellent value for money indeed. ■

香港美食天堂的地位毋庸置疑，除了粵菜，還有各式各樣的地方美 食及國際美食，其中當然包括最受香港人歡迎的日本菜。城中有 不少出色的日本菜餐廳，每天為饕客提供豐富的日式美饌。 在眾多日本菜餐廳中，位於尖沙咀喜來登酒店的雲海日本料理享 負盛名，這次我們選擇了餐廳最新推出的「每日嚐鮮廚師發辦壽司精 選」，懷著充滿期待的心情到達餐廳後，壽司師傅熱情地接待了我 們，在為我們準備食物的過程中，他們臉上流露出難以掩蓋的愉悅和 自豪，更毫不吝嗇地與我們分享製作壽司的秘訣。雲海提供的日本菜 式種類繁多，包括各款深受食客喜愛的鐵板燒。餐廳用餐環境優雅舒 適，更是令人食慾大增。 我們坐在壽司和清酒吧，主動提出想吃最新鮮的刺身，師傅當然 沒有令我們失望。品嚐了簡單而美味的凍菠菜後，我們胃口大開，摩 拳擦掌準備享用這頓饕餮盛宴。首先登場的是深海池魚薄切，伴有洋 蔥粒、蘿蔔蓉及酸醬汁，光是賣相已令人印象深刻。吃刺身應細細品 嚐，絕不能狼吞虎咽，讓頂級刺身獨有的鮮味不斷在口腔徘徊。下一 道菜式是北海道帆立貝刺身及象拔蚌刺身，帆立貝肉質鮮嫩飽滿，與 象拔蚌的爽脆口感形成鮮明對比。在店員的建議下，我們選擇了一款 清酒，這款清酒與帆立貝及象拔蚌刺身搭配得恰到好處，於是我們很 快便把眼前的食物一掃而光。 熱身完畢，正式踏上這趟嚐鮮旅程。燒拖羅筋是餐廳的招牌菜式之 一，供應數量有限，記得主動向師傅詢問。牡丹蝦刺身選用帶有淡淡鮮 甜味的新鮮大蝦，在開始品嚐精選壽司之前，師傅利用牡丹蝦頭煮成美 味的麵豉湯，讓我們稍作歇息。壽司師傅的心情明顯很好，為我們準備 了六款壽司，包括鱆紅魚壽司、極其珍貴的藍鰭吞拿魚腩壽司（數量有 限，售完即止）、醋鯖魚壽司、赤鯥壽司，還有最受歡迎的壽司之一 北海道紫海膽壽司，最後是松葉蟹膏壽司。細心周到的師傅將肉類及 米飯的份量控制得十分精準，每件壽司都剛好是一口的份量。 壽司及刺身的製作無疑是一門高深的手藝，也是日本飲食文化的 重要組成部分之一：精緻、細心、令人敬重。製作過程及賣相固然重 要，但製作美味壽司的關鍵始終是食材的質素及新鮮度，雲海的師傅 們只採用高質素的新鮮魚穫，為客人度身訂造頂級料理。 在一片歡聲笑語及舒適的環境中享用日式佳餚，呷一口冰凍的清 酒，最後以雪糕及新鮮水果作結。「每日嚐鮮廚師發辦晚市豪華料 理」價格為每位1,200港幣，絕對物超所值。■

Eason Tsang Ka Wai 'Powerless' at Blindspot Gallery

9 July-27 Aug. “Powerless” is the first solo exhibition of Hong Kong artist Eason Tsang Ka Wai, which showcases his experiments with media and subjects in new phases of his work. Continuing on the theme of existence in the city in New Landmark, Tsang shifts his focus from public space to the relatively closed spaces of interiors and underground tunnels. The spectacle mode of viewing in his previous works is elevated to a more distinct perception. 15/F, Po Chai Industrial Building, 28 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang.

Chou Yu-Cheng Solo Exhibition at Edouard Malingue Gallery

24 Jun-13 Aug. Chou Yu-Cheng’s (b. 1976, Taiwan) major installation and solo exhibition at Edouard Malingue Gallery points to a measured visual articulation of abstract mental expression. Presented across an entire wall is a major panorama that bridges wallpaper, sculpture and painting, the overall display punctuated by delicate paintings and sculptures at select corners of the exhibition space - brief interludes to Chou’s visual score, his deliberate yet lyrically ad hoc composition. Mon-Sat, 10am-7pm. Sixth floor, 33 Des Voeux Road Central. 2810 0317. edouardmalingue.com

Thomas Houseago 'Psychedelic Brothers – Drawn Paintings' at Gagosian Gallery

Pang Yongjie 'Intimate Embraces' at Fabrik Gallery

7 July-9 Sep. Pang Yongjie, a leading proponent of the Chinese "Post Contemporary” abstract art movement, draws on the aesthetic of mid-eighth century Tang dynasty ideals of beauty that celebrate the full-figured female physique. His work depicts the female figure, its beauty expressed in the artist’s signature style of abstract, fluid forms. Pang’s corpulent women seem gentle, light and effortless, a feast of vision in flowing robes and ruby lips, yet they reflect a quiet, deep spirituality – an inner perception and deeper understanding of the self. Mon-Fri, 9am-7pm. 1102 Nam Wo Hong Building, 148 Wing Lok Street, Sheung Wan. 2525 4911. www.fabrik-gallery.com

www.hkcitylife.com | AUGUST 2016

27 May-13 Aug. This is the first exhibition to focus on Houseago’s two-dimensional works on canvas. In “Drawn Paintings,” Houseago renders the mask-as-face leitmotif in acrylic paint, oil paint, pencil, and colored pastel, offset by black charcoal; striations in pigment and pronounced graphic lines impel each likeness to the surface of the canvas, revealing a wealth of possibility in the subjective readings of these dissonant visages. This series reflects Houseago’s artistic genealogy, to the “avantgarde fantasy family” that supports his creative psyche in the studio. Tue-Sat, 11am-7pm. 7/ F Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central.

Kristina Snaith

KRISTINA RECOMMENDS Kristina 誠意推薦

Favourite local Hong Kong food: I have a sweet tooth, so I like Bubble tea- Gong Cha tea which you can get in Admiralty and Sheung Wan.

CONCIERGE CHAT Charming Kristina Snaith, Director of Guest Experience at The Upper House, talks about her passion for serving guests

奕居客務關係總監Kristina Snaith與我們分享她為客人提供個人化服務的熱情 CityLife: Can you tell us how you started with your career?

Kristina: I was introduced to the hospitality industry at a very young age as my godparents owned a bed-and-breakfast hotel and I was able to observe their passion for serving guests- it seemed there was never a dull moment. I was very lucky to have been able to work in several renowned 5-star hotels both as trainee and afterwards, including the Upper House which I have been the Director of Guest Experience the last four years.

CL: What do you like most about your job?

Kristina: My favorite part of the job is interacting with people whether it’s guests or our own team who are so passionate and dedicated to providing our guests with a memorable stay.

There is never a dull moment and every day is a fresh start.

CL: Have you observed any changes in service requests from your guests?

Kristina: I n c re a s i n g l y, h o t e l s s t r i v e t o 東方之珠：可以跟我們說說你是如何進入酒店行 業的嗎？ Kristina：我的教父母經營民宿旅店，他們對服 務顧客充滿熱情，似乎從來不會感到沉悶，我從 小就受他們感染，因此我很年輕就進入了酒店行 業。我很幸運，曾經在幾間有名的五星級酒店當 培訓生，之後加入奕居擔任客務關係總監，到現 在為止已經四年了。 東方之珠：你最喜歡禮賓司工作的哪一部分？ Kristina：我最喜歡與別人溝通，無論是顧客或 是團隊成員。我們的團隊成員致力於為顧客提供 難忘的入住體驗，對工作充滿熱情，從不感到沉 悶，每天都是一個新開始。 東方之珠：你認為最近幾年顧客對服務的要求有 什麼變化嗎？

provide not just a product but the total guest experience, especially for hotels like ours which focus on providing special moments for our guests, giving them a truly be-spoke experience. The travelers are so much more sophisticated as are their demands. And Hong Kong being an amazing 24-hour city, our guests want super-efficient service and they want them fast.

CL: Any memorable requests from your guests that you can share?

Kristina: There are too many interesting experiences to mention them all. One that stands out was helping picking an engagement ring for a guest for his bride- and you realize how much faith the guest is putting in which to make an insightful suggestion- really makes you think how to give advice. Another is when we had only two hours to help a famous chef who was staying with us to find an antique egg cup- we had to use all our resources and call around to find the item- we did it! ■ Kristina：如今的酒店不僅是提供產品，更是 提供完整的顧客體驗，特別是對於我們這種注 重為顧客營造難忘的入住體驗的酒店來說，我 們的任務就是讓每位顧客盡享度身訂造的個人 化服務。旅客的需求五花八門，難以捉摸。在 香港這個不夜城，顧客需要的是高質素而又快 捷的服務。 東方之珠：顧客曾提出什麼讓你覺得很難忘的要 求嗎？ Kristina：有趣的經歷太多了，有一次我幫助一位 男士為未婚妻挑選訂婚戒指，我深刻感受到顧客 對自己的信任，這令我竭盡全力為他提供有用的 建議。還有一次一位著名廚師下榻我們酒店，想 讓我們幫忙找一個古董雞蛋杯，但我們只有兩小 時，我們利用了所有資源，打了很多電話，最終 成功找到了！■

A two day itinerary for his hotel guests: Day One: Start with dim sum breakfast at Luk Yu Restaurant , then hike up to the Peak and walk around Lugard Road.

Go to Repulse Bay and have lunch at the Limewood at the Pulse and also hangout at the Ocean Club there. Then in the afternoon, go see the Chi Ling Nunnery in Kowloon. In the evening, Sundowners at our hotel's Cafe Gray Deluxe to watch the light show, then go to Soho for a food safari at all these boutique restaurants which are walk in only. I would start with Chom Chom, then Yardbird, Ho Lee Fook and Little Bao. Then drinks at Ophelia, a new bar in Wanchai.

D a y Tw o : A m o re re l a x i n g D a y.

Breakfast here, then a full nail manicure at the Nail Library; shopping at Times Square and Sogo at Causeway Bay, Lunch at Ding Tai Fung for Siao Long Bao. Then for dinner, visit the Queen Street cooked food market in Sheung Wan - at the ABC Kitchen and a night cap here at The Continental terrace. 最愛的香港食物： 我很喜歡甜食，例如貢茶的珍珠奶茶， 在金鐘及上環均設有分店。 兩天香港遊行程建議： 第一天：在陸羽茶室享用點心早餐，然 後步行到太平山頂，沿盧吉道漫步。接 著前往淺水灣，在 The Pulse 商場內的 Limewood 享用午餐，還可以與好友到 Ocean Club 一聚。下午到九龍的志蓮 淨苑，晚上則可以在酒店的 Cafe Gray Deluxe觀看燈光表演，然後到SoHo 荷 南美食區無需預訂的小餐館吃晚餐，我 通常會去Chom Chom, Yardbird, 口利 福和小包包，然後到灣仔新開的酒吧 Ophelia小酌一杯。 第二天：第二天的行程比較輕鬆，先在 奕居吃早餐，然後到The Nail Library做 指甲護理，在銅鑼灣的時代廣場和崇光 百貨購物，午餐則可到鼎泰豐享用小籠 包。晚餐時間不妨前往上環皇后街熟食 市場的 ABC Kitchen 享用意大利美食， 然後到The Continental小酌一杯。

MEET THE

GENERAL MANAGER

Bernard Chan

We spoke with Bernard Chan, General Manager of B P International, on his experience in the hospitality industry 龍堡國際總經理陳俊傑先生與我們分享他在酒店業的經歷 I started my hotel career in the 1990s in the accounting department with a famous hotel in Central which has since been converted to an office building. Back then it was a coveted job given the glamour image of the hotel industry. I then got into the sales area as I tended to be outgoing and loved interacting with people. This led me to an opportunity to join B P International in 1995 as Director of Sales and eventually became the General Manager a few years ago.

My favorite part of the job as a GM is to be involved in all aspects of running the hotel and I get great satisfaction from finding creative solutions to improve our operations, and doing so as a team together, especially when the team can show initiative and pro-actively solve problems.

The key to being a good General Manager is to exert overall leadership in the marketing, management and development of the hotel in order to engender strong relationships , trust and effective communication - all important elements in creating a strong team.

B P is re-positioning itself to adapt to changing market conditions.

We are known as a 4-star leisure hotel with tourists making up the bulk of our clientele. While the recent downturn in tourism has affected the hotel business city-wide, we are perhaps less affected since we’ve made a conscious effort to diversify our guest mix. We are currently emphasizing our food and beverage offerings new cuisine concepts and products, and expanding our MICE capability.

Our hotel has a large facility; we have a large ball room, and our location is excellent and will be more so as West Kowloon continues to develop. We are in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, and within walking distance of Nathan Road, Park Lane Shopper's Boulevard, Harbour City, China HK City, Elements, MTR station. So we are quite well-positioned.

The hospitality industry has changed a lot, in part because the visitors have changed. They are much less reliant on tour guides and are more independent and knowledgeable, as are their requirements. Generally, travelers require efficient and comfortable service so we try to provide that by keeping up the service standards and product offerings as well.

Hong Kong is of course a large, fast-paced, dynamic city with so much that are happening. What I like about Hong Kong is that it remains an incredibly safe city to visit so guests can enjoy the city at all times and anywhere.

There are so much to do here in Hong Kong. I do recommend that visitors be sure to try local Chinese food as much as possible. Also the street markets are a must; the Jade market nearby is world famous. ■

General Manager of B P International

龍堡國際總經理

我在1990年代進入中環一間著名酒店的會計部，該酒店之後被改建成一幢 辦公大樓。當時在酒店工作聽起來是十分體面的事，是很多人夢寐以求的職 業。由於我性格外向，喜歡與人交流，之後我成為了一名銷售經理。1995 年，我加入了龍堡國際，擔任銷售總監一職，幾年前開始出任總經理。 擔任總經理一職，我最喜歡的就是可以全方位參與酒店的營運，每次和我 的團隊一起想出提升酒店運作表現的新方法我都感到充滿成功感，特別是 團隊成員們積極主動解決問題的時候。 作為一名總經理，我認為全面利用自己的領導能力是最重要的。建立好市 場推廣、管理和酒店發展之間的關係，在溝通中保持互信和高效，這就是 培養強大的團隊的要素。 龍堡國際正在重新定位以適應變幻莫測的市場情況。我們是一間四星級酒 店，顧客大部分是遊客。近年來旅遊業持續低靡，全香港的酒店都受到不 同程度的影響，我們酒店受到的衝擊相對較小，因為我們一直致力於發展 多元化市場，吸收來自世界各地的旅客。現在我們主力發展餐飲業務，推 出全新餐飲概念及產品，同時提升酒店舉辦會議展覽的能力。 我們酒店的設施十分齊全，擁有寬敞的宴會廳。酒店地理位置優越，隨著 西九龍的發展，我們的優勢將更加明顯。龍堡國際位於尖沙咀中心地段， 可步行至彌敦道、栢麗購物大道、海港城、中港城、圓方及港鐵站，因此 我們的地理優勢較突出。 酒店業經歷了相當大的變化，旅客需求改變是其中原因之一。如今旅客們 並不像以前那麼依賴我們的指引，他們獲得的資訊已經十分全面，對我們 的服務要求也更高了。總的來說，旅客需要的是高效舒適的服務，因此我 們一直努力保持服務及產品質素。 香港是一個節奏快速、充滿活力的大城市，這裡每天都發生著不同的事 情。香港一直是一個十分安全的城市，不論何時何地，旅客都可以盡情享 受，這是我喜歡香港的原因。 香港每天都有很多豐富多彩的活動，你總能找到適合自己的。我建議旅客 品嚐地道中式食品，各式各樣的市集也是不可錯過的，酒店附近的玉器市 場世界聞名。■
