W

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

July heralds the start of summer holiday period in Hong Kong as visitors from around Asia and around the world – many of them families – hit the city looking for a fun-filled vacation. This year, more than ever, Hong Kong offers a potpourri of events and activities for visitors of all ages to ensure an unforgettable summer stay. Organised under the umbrella “ICBC (Asia) Hong Kong Summer Fun”, visitors can “eat, shop, and play” in cool neighbourhoods, attend spectacular festivals and events, and visit popular attractions, all made more attractive with great offers by merchants to boot.

Please check out our cover story on page 10 for more details.

We would be remiss not to mention that 1 July this year marks the special occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Handover when Hong Kong reverted back to China after over 150 years of British rule with the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). Despite concerns ahead of the Handover, some forecasting doom and gloom, Hong Kong has done very well since 1997. Our feature story takes an idiosyncratic look at how the city has changed in the last 20 years. And we are happy to report that, for visitors to Hong Kong, most of the changes have been for the better.

The highly anticipated Hong Kong Book Fair opens for its 28th annual edition as one of the largest book fairs in the world. Over one million people are expected this year to search out their favourite books and publications, discover what’s new and attend various cultural events. It’s always good to know that book reading is alive and well in the city. Pop along to explore this festival of wordcraft if you happen to be in town.

And pleasure comes in twos as the Book Fair is immediately followed by another iconic consumer fair, the Ani-Com & Games HK, now in its 19th year.

Be sure to bring your kids to explore a wonderland of animation, comics, games, toys and more that has something for everyone.

Music lovers are in for a treat this month as the World Harp Congress, easily the world’s largest harp event, is held in Hong Kong, for the first time ever in Asia. Over 1000 harpists will gather for recitals, workshops and concerts, capped by its headliner event "GALA Concerto Concert: The Banquet" in which top harpists in the world will perform four concertos, two of them world premieres.

As the summer begins in earnest, you’ve come to the right place to revel in Summer Fun, whether it’s shop, eat and play in cool neighbourhoods, attending mega-events, or world class music and culture, Hong Kong is more than ready for the summertime buzz. On behalf of the whole city, we wish you a sunny and funfilled stay in Hong Kong.

THE MEANING OF FLOWERS IN CHINESE EMBROIDERY

2

中國刺繡中 花的含義

FLOWERS are beloved around the world, but in China their love goes beyond simple beauty. Like other aspects of nature, they had symbolic meanings to ward off bad luck and promote good fortune. 花在全世界廣受歡迎，但在中國，花受歡迎可不僅僅是因為它的美。和其它自然界的事物一樣，花也有著消災 解困，帶來好運的象征意義。

C

lothing and household furnishings in the Qing dynasty (1644 –1911) were covered with floral displays. The large loose jackets and pleated skirts with flat panels at front and back worn by Chinese women were ideal places to display intricately embroidered flowers. Since most women and girls bound their feet in the fashion of the time, their tiny shoes were also covered with delicate blossoms. The feet were even called golden lotuses, as they resembled the bud of that flower. Children's tunics and trousers were important places on which to display lucky emblems to protect them from harm.

The most popular flowers were the peony, lotus, orchid, plum blossom and chrysanthemum. The peony is considered the Queen of Flowers and is a symbol of spring, an emblem of love and affection, as well as signifying wealth and distinction. An emblem of feminine beauty, it was naturally the favourite flower of the infamous Empress Dowager in the late 19th century. The rooms in her palace in Peking were surrounded by pots of peonies,

and her gowns lavishly embroidered with the flower.

The lotus is a symbol of purity and perfection since it grows in mud but is not defiled. An important Buddhist emblem, Buddha is often shown sitting on the sacred lotus. It is an emblem of summer and fruitfulness because the pods yield many seeds. For this reason, it was frequently used on children's clothes to encourage more little brothers! It is a favourite of Chinese people as all parts of the flower are used: the stem and seeds are eaten, the leaves used for wrapping food, the yellow stamens as a cosmetic, and the flowers simply enjoyed.

Plum blossom, or Prunus, is a symbol of winter and of long life since the flowers appear first on leafless branches. But it is also a promise of new beginnings and always an important part of the festivities at Chinese New Year. Gardeners believed the colder the weather, the more abundant the blossom. The orchid is a symbol of fragrance and refinement, as well as love and beauty. It was said a

繡經常出現在中國女性穿的寬鬆外衣和帶褶子的 短裙上。由於當時多數女性都會纏足，她們的纏 足鞋上也繡有精細的花朵圖案。纏足女性的腳外 形與蓮花的芽相像，因此被稱為“金蓮”。孩子 們穿的寬鬆外套和長褲上通常也有象征好運的圖 案，以保護他們免受傷害。 最受歡迎的花包括牡丹、蓮花、蘭花、梅花 和菊花。牡丹被認為是花中之王，代表着春天， 是愛和钟情的象征，也有財富和卓越的寓意。牡 丹也是女性之美的象征，是十九世紀末慈禧太后 最喜愛的花。慈禧太后位於北京的皇宮四周都擺 放著牡丹盆栽，她的袍上也繡著精緻的牡丹花。 蓮花出淤泥而不染，象征著純潔和完美。蓮 花與佛教的關係十分密切，佛祖通常是以坐在蓮 花上的形象出現的。蓮花種子多，因此它還是夏 天和豐收的象征。正因如此，蓮花圖案常常出 現在小孩子的衣服上，寓意多子。蓮花是中國人 最喜歡的花卉之一，因為它的每個部分都有獨特 的用途：根莖和種子可食用，葉子可用來包裝食 物，黃色的雄蕊可製成化妝品，而花朵本身則極 具觀賞性。 梅花通常長在光禿禿的樹枝上，是冬天和長

beautiful women's breath is like the perfume of an orchid!

The Chrysanthemum is a symbol of autumn and appeared on clothing worn by older women. The flower also symbolised a life of ease and retirement from public office, so desired by harassed officials in Qing dynasty China. Red, purple and orange chrysanthemums are considered cheerful flowers. But don't give white chrysanthemums, the colour of mourning, or yellow, which is always used at funerals.

Books of woodcuts of the floral designs were used as a source of reference. Stencils of the most popular patterns were made, and in large embroidery studios there was a selection of cardboard templates used to give uniformity in design, to assist in the placing of the design, and to save time. They were then tacked down and the designs embroidered over until the paper was completely covered and sewn into the fabric. Alternatively, the edge of the design was sewn round as an outline and the paper ripped out.

The cloth for embroidering upon was usually silk, of all weights from gauze to satin.

Everyone in the family learned to embroider.

Men worked standing up at an embroidery frame made of bamboo suspended from the wall, with the material to be worked on stretched tightly across it. Women sat with the frame supported by their legs, their bound feet preventing them from standing for any length of time. Even the children were called upon to help contribute to the family income.

Embroidery threads were bought from

peddlers who walked the narrow streets announcing their wares by twirling a rattle. They carried small drawers of every shade of floss and twisted silk imaginable. Silver and gold threads were said to have a special coating which prevented them from tarnishing in the heat and humidity. Short fine needles were used, made of ivory or bone at first, then later of steel.

Many of the embroidery stitches used are familiar to embroiderers in the west. Couching anchored the metal threads which could not be sewn directly as they might break or split the silk fabric. Counted stitch, also called tent stitch, was good for covering large area of background. Satin stitch, in use for over three thousand years, was an important part of an embroiderer's repertoire. The stitches had to be very flat and even to give the characteristic satin smooth appearance. Stem stitch was used to outline a design and for fine detailing.

One stitch, which still fascinates western embroiderers, is Peking knot, otherwise known as seed stitch. In Chinese dazi means 'making seeds' due to the smallness and evenness of the stitch. Formerly it was often called forbidden stitch, or blind stitch, as it was said to ruin the eyesight of the embroiderers. The stitch was used to give a soft texture, to fill in small areas, or to define details.

Many fragments of these antique embroideries linger forgotten in attics in the west, in markets in China, or in corners of antique shops around the world. They serve to remind us that, though the flowers which inspired the embroiderers are long gone, their beauty lasts forever. ■

壽的象征，還有新生的寓意，因此它也是中國農 曆新年中的重要元素。園丁認為天氣越寒冷，梅 花開得越茂盛。蘭花則是芳香、優雅、愛和美的 象征。中文裡還會用“吹氣如蘭”來形容美女的 氣息。 菊花是秋天的象征，年長女性的衣服上常常 出現菊花的圖案。菊花代表了恬靜愜意的生活， 也有公職人員退休的含義，因此頗受中國清朝官 員的喜愛。紅色、紫色和橙色的菊花都是帶有積 極意義的，但千萬不要送白色菊花，因為白色通 常有哀悼的意思。而黃色菊花一般是在葬禮上用 的，因此也不要送人。 刺繡工通常以帶花朵圖案的木版畫作為參 考。工人們製作出圖案最受歡迎的模板，大型刺 繡工房裡有許多硬紙樣板，用來統一設計，固定 圖案位置以及節省時間。然後將它們固定住，在 上面進行設計，直到紙被完全蓋住，將圖案繡在 布上。有時候圖案的邊緣會縫成圓形，然後將多 余的紙裁剪掉。 人們通常用絲綢做刺繡，從薄紗到綢緞，重 量不等。家中每人都要學習刺繡。牆上吊著一個 竹子做的繡花架，將刺繡用的布料緊緊地纏在上 面，男人們就在跟前幹活。女人們則坐在凳子 上，用腿支撐繡花架，因為纏足的關係，她們不 能站立太長時間。連小孩也要幫忙幹活，以減輕 家庭負擔。 刺繡用的線通常是在小販處買的，這些小販 們在狹窄的街道上邊轉動響鈴邊叫賣。他們用小 抽屜裝著各種顏色的絲線。據說銀色和金色的線 外面的塗層是特製的，可防止絲線因高溫和潮濕 而生鏽。刺繡通常使用較短的細針，最初是用象 牙或骨頭做的，後來的針是用鋼做的。 刺繡方法跟西方的差不多。釘針導線針法不 能直接縫紉，因為有可能會令絲綢裂開。斜向平 行針腳適合用於覆蓋大面積的背景。緞面繡是刺 繡工的重要技能之一。針跡必須非常平坦，以保 持絲綢的光滑。滾針是用來勾勒設計的輪廓和描 繪細緻部分的。 有一種刺繡方法至今仍然令西方刺繡工十分 着迷，那就是北京結，又稱為打籽繡，由於針步 精細、平均而得名。它又被稱為禁針或盲縫，據 說其針步精細至會使人瞎眼的地步。這種針法可 做出柔軟質感，適合用於細節講究的小型刺繡。 這些刺繡工藝大多已經被遺忘在西方的閣 樓，在中國的市集或是在世界各地古董店的角落 裡。它們的存在提醒著我們，雖然那些給了刺繡 工無數靈感的花朵已不復存在，但它們的美永不 過時。

MUSIC HAPPENINGS 樂在香江

悠揚豎琴詠香江

Sound of the Harp Enchants

Thousands of harp performers and enthusiasts descend upon Hong Kong as the city plays host to the 13th World Harp Congress, the first time the event has been held in Asia. 來自世界各地的千余位豎琴家和豎琴愛好者將雲集香港，參 與首次在亞洲舉行的第十三屆世界豎琴大會。

The heavenly music of the harp has soothed and entranced kings and common folk through the ages. Imagine the aural delight that will emanate from a gathering of hundreds of the best harpists from across the world. This month, Hong Kong plays host to the 13th World Harp Congress, being held in Asia for the first time. Themed "A Journey from West to East", the world’s largest and most important harp event will bring more than a thousand harpists to the city for programmes including concerts, recitals, workshops and seminars. We spoke with a few of the headliners for this unique event.

千百年來，豎琴天籟般的悠揚琴聲令無數君王和平民百姓為之陶醉。第十三屆世界豎琴大會將首次在亞洲舉行，來自世界各地的數百位最出色的豎琴演奏家聚 首一堂，讓大家一睹風采。本屆大會的主題為“中西薈萃”，這項全球最大型的豎琴盛事將吸引過千位豎琴家來港參與，活動包括音樂會、演奏會、研討會和工作 坊等。《東方之珠》將為您介紹一系列活動亮點及幾位主要演奏者。 Nicolas Tulliez: The internationally appearance in Hong Kong will be a highlight of famed harpist was born in Paris and the World Harp Congress.

Nicolas Tulliez：這位世界知名的豎琴演奏家 received his tertiary music training in the United States, including at Juilliard 出生於巴黎，曾在美國茱莉亞學院和耶魯大學等著 School and Yale. Tulliez regularly 名學府接受專業音樂訓練。Tulliez 曾與眾多世界知 performs as First Harp and solos with 名樂團同台演出，長期擔任豎琴首席，在眾多獨 many of the world’s leading orchestras 奏和室內音樂會中為觀眾呈獻精彩演奏。此外， as well as in solo or chamber music 他還與知名唱片公司合作發行多張唱片。Nicolas concerts, with many of his recordings released by prominent labels. His Tulliez 的參與是本屆世界豎琴大會的一大亮點。

Xiaotang Gao: A up-and-coming champion harpist from China, Ms Gao has also been instrumental in reviving the “Kong Hou” or Chinese harp, which she will play in her Hong Kong performance.

Gao: I grew up in a musical family in Liaoning province in Northeast China. I took up the Chinese zheng at the age of three and Kong Hou and Harp at the age of nine.

I will play the “Kong Hou” or Chinese harp, a beautiful musical instrument with over 2000 years of history which dropped out of use during the Ming Dynasty and was revived and modified in the 1980s.

The Kong Hou creates a distinctive tone, one that’s more pleasing than most other traditional Chinese musical instruments, helped by its expansive musical

scale and the amplification of the resonance box.

As early as the Han Dynasty, Kong Hou was widely recognised among the literati. Similar to a Western harp, its strings are softer and double-rowed, making it more amenable to playing vibrato and faster rhythms. I am really looking forward to playing the Kong Hou at the “Banquet” main event. 高小棠：高小棠是來自中國的新生代箜篌、豎 琴演奏家，她將為大家帶來精彩絕倫的箜篌表演。 高 ：我出生在中國東北遼寧省。我從3歲半開 始學習古箏和鋼琴，9歲開始學習箜篌、豎琴。 我將在這次的音樂會上表演箜篌，這個樂器有 超過兩千年的歷史，有雙排弦，箜篌雖然有著跟豎琴 相似的外表，但是它卻是一個非常具有中國傳統音樂 特色的樂器，具有比其它中國傳統樂器優越的音色特 質，再加上箜篌在音域、共鳴箱上的優勢，使它比

Dan Yu: An acclaimed harpist and the first Chinese winner of the USA International Harp Competition, Dan Yu has dazzled fans in performances across the US, Europe and Asia, including in TV and radio broadcasts and in a documentary. Dan Yu is currently music director at the Hong Kong Harp Chamber and Co Chair of the Host Committee for the 2017 World Harp Congress.

YU: I grew up in Shenyang and started learning piano at the age of six but didn’t like it, plus my pinkie was too short. I fell in love with harp at first sight; it looks so elegant and holding it made me felt secure, plus playing harp was quite rare so it made me feel special and different.

Hong Kong has a lot of talented harp players and probably has more people involved with the harp than anywhere else in Asia with more than a thousand active players. Men play the harp too and some of the best harpists in the world are men, aided by their greater strength.

2 0 周 年 繁榮穩定 繼往開來

An idiosyncratic look back on how Hong Kong has changed since its handover to China on 1 July 1997 《東方之珠》以獨特視覺回顧香港 自1997年7月1日回歸祖國以來的一系列變化。 As we mark the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s Handover to China, it is inevitable we look back and ponder how much the city has changed in that time. To offer a perspective for those less familiar with Hong Kong’s story, the zeitgeist of the city in the days leading up to 1997 was one of uncertainty and anxiety, as an occasion of this kind and magnitude was truly historically unprecedented – we were in uncharted waters. So the world’s media turned its attention to Hong Kong as 1 July 1997 approached, and not all the prognoses were optimistic or kind.

Perhaps the 26 June 1995 Fortune Magazine cover “The Death of Hong Kong” epitomised the sentiments of a large number of international journalists and pundits ready to sound Hong Kong’s death knell.

Much has happened to Hong Kong over the past 20 years, and the city' s historical journey has not been all smooth sailing by any means. Still, the demise of Hong Kong was – in the immortal words of Mark Twain – "greatly exaggerated". In fact, Hong Kong is alive and doing very well, and the city is as dynamic as ever; it is widely recognised as one of the world' s leading cities, its reputation underpinned by a sound economy, strong institutions and systems, a strict adherence to the rule of law, and a vibrant civil society. And as ever, Hong Kong' s stunning cityscape and natural beauty, its unique East-meet-West culture and heritage, and its incredible diversity make the city one of the world' s top tourist destinations. Perhaps the doomsayers' predictions back then erred because they did not fully appreciate the incredible resilience and resolve of the Hong Kong people and the strong values they hold dear, which have collectively driven the reinvention of the city over and over again, and which continue to serve as an inspiration for the economic development of the city they built.

So join us on an idiosyncratic journey back in time to see how much Hong Kong has changed over these last 20 years!

踏入香港回歸 20 周年，是時候回顧這個城市在這 20 年間的改 變。也許部分遊客並不太了解香港的過去，在 1997 年之前，香港 社會對於回歸是充滿不確定和不安感的，因為這個城市從未經歷這 種類型和規模的社會變革。隨著 1997 年 7 月 1 日的來臨，世界媒體 的注意力開始集中於香港，然而並非所有人對這場巨大的社會轉變 持樂觀和善意的態度。1995年6月26日，《財富雜誌》發表了名為 《香港之死》的文章，這或多或少反映了當時部分記者和權威人士 認為香港已響起喪鐘。 在過去20年間，香港發生了巨大的變化，這個城市的歷史進程絕 不是一帆風順的。但用馬克·吐溫的話來說，所謂的“香港之死”是 “被過份誇大了”。實際上，香港依然充滿活力，繁榮昌盛。香港 如今被公認為領先的世界級城市之一，經濟發展迅速，機構和制度 穩固，堅持法治，是一個充滿活力的文明社會。此外，香港美麗的 城市風光和自然生態，東西方匯聚的文化遺產和多元化的社會特征 令這個城市成為世界頂級旅遊目的地之一。最後，也許回歸之前預 言“香港之死”的人已經意識到他們忽略了香港人巨大的彈性和決 心以及堅定的價值觀，這一切令香港人擁有不斷重新建立香港新秩 序的能力，作為祖國經濟發展的強大推動力，香港將繼往開來，繼 續穩步向前！ 所以趕快加入這趟香港回歸20周年的回顧之旅吧，一起來看看這 20年間香港的“變”與“不變”。

Slow population growth:

緩慢增長的人口：

The population grew modestly from 1996 to 2016, from 6.43 million to 7.35 million, a 14% total increase or 0.66% per year. 從1996年到2016年，香港的人口從643萬人增長了 14%，達到735萬人，平均每年增長0.66%。

Aging society:

人口老化：

Typical of most developed economies, Hong Kong has an aging society; its median age has increased from just 34 years to 43 years over the 20 years. Most of this is due its low birth rate, which declined from 63,000 births to about 60,000 in two decades and with a fertility rate of 1.2 remains well below the replacement rate of 2.1. 人口老化是發達地區常見的問題。香港的年齡中位數在這 20 年間從 34 歲上升至 43 歲，最主要的原因是出生率低：在 過去20年間，出生數目由63,000 下降至60,000 ，總和生育 率只有1.2，遠遠低於2.1的人口更替率。

Women in the work force:

女性勞動人口：

Hong Kong’s labour participation rate remains steady at 61%, but the aggregate numbers hide some huge demographic changes. The male participation rate has declined sharply from about 76% to less than 69% with total workers holding steady below two million. However, female participation grew from 48% to over 55% from less than 1.3 million to over 1.9 million, a rise of more than 600,000. The knock-on impact on Hong Kong’s economy has been fundamental, including, among other effects, changes in retail spending patterns by women with growing purchasing power. 香港的勞動人口參與率穩定保持在 61% ，但這個數字隱 藏了一些巨大的人口變化。男性勞動人口從76%大幅減少至 69%，男性總勞動人口穩定徘徊在低於200萬的水平。女性 勞動人口從48%增長至超過55%，從少於130萬人增長至超 過190萬人，增加超過60萬人。這在經濟上反映的連鎖反應 是十分巨大的，其中之一就是隨著女性購買力的增加，她們 的消費模式也有所改變。

Domestic helpers:

外籍家庭傭工：

A direct consequence of more women in the workplace is the doubling of the number of foreign domestic helpers, from around 164,000 to over 340,000, as families increasingly include two working parents. 女性勞動人口增加的直接後果就是外籍家庭傭工的需求增 加。這20年間，由於雙親在職的家庭數目不斷增加，外籍家 庭傭工的數量從約164,000 人增加至超過340,000 人，增幅 超過一倍。

Air travel:

航空：

Moving the international airport from the iconic Kai Tak to the bluefield site at Chek Lap Kok was to be a highlight of the Handover, although it missed the timing by one year. Still the new airport has more than served its purpose, as it handled over 400,000 aircraft movements and 46 million passengers in 2016, as compared with around 150,000 movements and 23 million passengers in 1996. HKIA remains one of the world’s best airports and the planned third runway should allow it to keep its leading position. 香港回歸一年後，啟德國際機場遷往如今位於赤臘角的香港國際 機場，這是回歸後的一大變化。 2016 年，新機場的飛機升降量超過 400,000架次，客運量達到46,000,000人次，而在1996年，飛機升降 量只有約150,000架次，客運量只有23,000,000人次。香港國際機場 至今依然是世界最佳機場之一，第三條跑道的興建將更有利於香港維 持其領先地位。

Car:

車輛：

By world standards, Hong Kong has low car ownership levels but the number of private cars grew from 293,000 to over 520,000 in 20 years, a 77% jump. Similarly the number of motorcycles more than doubled, from 22,000 to 48,000. Interestingly, Kong Kong' s taxi fleet, which provides quick and convenient rides at reasonable prices, has remained at around 18,000 over this period. 車輛：根據世界標準，香港的汽車污染較少，但這 20 年間私家車 的數目從293,000輛增加至520,000輛，增長率達77%。而電單車的 數目則增加了超過一倍，從22,000輛增加至48,000輛。有趣的是，香 港的士方便快捷、價格合理，但數字則維持在18,000輛左右。

Public transport:

Walking:

公共交通： More than 5,700 double decker buses carry passengers around the city, up from 4,700. But the bulk of Hong Kong’s public transport is care of the ubiquitous MTR, easily one of the world’s best and most efficient transport systems. It carried over 5.3 million passengers per day in 2016, well up from the 3.55 million of 20 years ago. 雙層巴士的數字從4,700輛增加至5,700輛，但香港公共交通載客 量最大的是港鐵，港鐵可說是世界最出色和最有效率的交通系統之 一。港鐵2016年的日載客量超過530萬，而20年前則只有355萬。

步行： Hong Kong remains one of the world’s safest cities to walk around, with statistics showing that it has actually become even safer since the Handover. Murder is rarer than in any country save a handful of smaller city states, and dropped from 77 cases in 1996 to just 22 in 2015.

Violent crime dropped by over 30% over this period, and overall crime came down by 16%, to just 909 cases per 100,000 population, also one of the lowest rates in the world. So feel free to wander on foot anywhere in Hong Kong, day or night, and explore the city without worry! 香港至今依然是世界最安全城市之一，遊客可放心步行至香港每個角落。以下數據反映了自回顧以來，香港的安全性越來越 高：除了一些小國家之外，香港的兇殺案數目比很多國家都要少，從1996 年的 77 宗跌至 2015 年的 22 宗。暴力罪案的數目下 跌超過 30%，總體罪案數目下跌了16%，2015 年的總體罪案率為每100,000 萬人口 909 宗，香港是世界罪案率最低的城市之 一。所以您完全可以無憂無慮地在香港各處遊走，探索這個美麗的城市！ Note: Statistics are from Hong Kong Annual Digest of Statistics, a fascinating and helpful book, and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Some data is rounded for clarity. 備註：以上數據來自內容全面、便於參考的官方統計匯編—《香港統計年刊》和聯合國毒品和犯罪問題辦公室。為方便閱讀，部分數據已取整。

The city has experienced phenomenal growth in tourism, which today is the fourth-largest economic sector, contributing over HK$100 billion to the local economy. Visitor arrivals increased from 13 million in 1996 to 60 million, up more than fourfold. Of course, the exponential growth in China' s outbound tourism was the key driver, as visitor arrivals from China went from 2.4 million to over 45 million, although some 70% of that is for same-day visitors. Still the numbers are truly impressive. 香港旅遊業發展迅速，如今旅遊業是香港經濟第四大支柱產業，每年為本地經濟 貢獻超過1,000億。訪港旅客人次從1996年的1,300萬人增加至6,000萬人，增幅超 過4倍。中國出境旅遊人數的大幅增長當然是最主要的原因之一，來自中國內地的旅 客人數從240萬增加至4,500萬，雖然其中70%左右是不過夜旅客，但這個數字已經 足夠驚人了。

The proliferation of hotels of all types has certainly put a strain on staffing resources, although the industry more than met the challenge as Hong Kong hotel industry remains the envy of Asia. 酒店業也經歷了前所未有的增長， 20 年間酒店的數目從 88 間增加至超過 250 間，房間數目從 33,000 間增加至 74,000 間。香港酒店業在亞洲屬首屈一指，應 對挑戰的能力絕對足夠，但各種規模的酒店數目大幅增長，對人力資源也的確 造成一定壓力。

城市轉型： To serve the increasing numbers of visitors, several world-class attractions were developed, including Disneyland, Ngong Ping 360, Noah' s Ark, and the Wetland Park. But most impressive is Hong Kong' s continued transformation as a dynamic urban entrepot. New skyscrapers continue to re-shape the city' s skyline, with the pairing ICC and IFC strikingly changing the city' s face.

All of Kowloon went through a rebuild as the Kai Tak–imposed height limit was removed. This has resulted in the construction of many high-rise residential complexes, some of 60 storeys or higher. Hong Kong' s continual transition to a service economy has seen many industrial buildings converted or torn down to make way for spanking new offices. Districts such as Kowloon Bay, Kwun Tong, Wong Chuk Hang are all getting facelifts. The city is becoming an art hub, with some of the Asia' s largest art events being held here. And finally, an influx of young millennial expats is breathing a trendy international vibe into neighbourhoods such as Sheung Wan, Sai Yin Pun and Kennedy Town. 訪港旅客人次不斷增加，為了滿足旅客需求，香港建造了數個世界級旅遊景點，包括迪士尼、昂坪360、挪亞方舟和濕地公園 等。但更令人印象深刻的是香港作為一個充滿活力的城市的持續轉型。林立的摩天大樓點綴香港天際線，環球貿易廣場和國際金融 中心的出現完全改變了這個城市的外貌。為確保使用啟德機場的航機安全而訂的全港建築物高度限制撤銷後，整個九龍就像經歷 了大翻新。許多住宅高樓拔地而起，有些達到60層或以上。香港不斷向服務經濟轉型令許多工廈被活化或拆卸，以容納更多高級 辦公室。九龍灣、觀塘、黃竹坑等地區都經歷了蛻變。這個城市正逐漸成為一個藝術中心，一些亞洲最大型的藝術展覽均在香港舉 辦。不少居港外國青年正逐漸改變着這個城市的文化面貌，上環、西營盤和堅尼地城等街區已成為潮人聚集地。

All these changes have helped enhance Hong Kong' s reputation as a destination of choice whether for leisure or business.

So, enjoy your stay during the city' s 20th anniversary of the Handover, and do take some photos to compare when you return 20 years from now! 以上所有的變化告訴我們，無論是休閒或商務旅行，香港都是旅客首選目的地之一。如果您在香港回歸20周年期間訪港，不妨 拍下一些照片，20年後再比較看看這個亞洲國際都會又發生了什麼有趣的變化。

《東方之珠》夏日嘗味之旅正式啟程！我們首 先造訪了一間法國餐廳及一間意大利餐廳，兩 間均是備受稱讚的優秀餐廳。

S

easons by Olivier E, the highly regarded French restaurant at Causeway Bay’s Lee Garden Two building, in the heart of the popular Hong Kong shopping district, has garnered many accolades, including a much coveted One-star Michelin designation. This is not surprising considering the pedigree of its Executive Chef, Olivier Elzer, whose grandfather was chef to a Russian Czar, and who himself has apprenticed and studied under many famed chefs and Michelin-starred restaurants all over France, moving on to become executive chef at several equally prestigious restaurants in Hong Kong.

In his latest endeavour, Chef Olivier has created a dining concept based on his experience and passion, one that retains traditional French culinary tradition, especially for classic dishes, and complements it with infused local styles and ingredients, all with an unmistakably Gallic panache.

The tasting session we chose at Seasons was lunch, the restaurant decorated in an elegant contemporary décor, and partitioned into various seasonally themed areas, including a neatly fitted-out terrace perfect for afternoon teas and after hour drinks.

We started off with a signature Seasons dish: Seasons Surprise Box with Hokkaido Sea Urchin, Salmon Tartare & Truffle Jelly ($420), which comes in a

www.hkcitylife.com | JULY 2017

small metal box packed with layers of the ingredients, offering a delightful mix of textures and flavours.

Next for our lunch was the Grilled langoustine & Venere rice risotto, Marsala butter ($548), another of Chef Olivier’s creative concoctions. We really enjoyed the taste of the risotto that is creamy but not too heavy; the shrimp is grilled to tender perfection, and the tangy and slightly spicy sauce just adds the right flavour to the overall dish.

Our entrée was another signature dish, the Grilled Holstein Rib Eye with Shallots Confit and red wine sauce ($798), and this dish certainly comes with much fanfare. The grass-fed Holstein rib-eye is smothered with a rich shallot and red wine sauce compote with a touch of blackcurrant and topped with deep fried garlic chips, and sits on a wooden slab surrounded by twigs of Burgundy vines, and all placed in a wine box with the twigs set alight, giving up a most aromatic smoky smell when the box is opened for serving. We were impressed with the amount of imagination and effort going into preparing the dish and the taste of the beef certainly lives up to its end if the bargain – tender, with the wine sauce bringing out the mild flavour of the Holstein beef.

We were ready to end our lunch with some light desserts and two summer ice cream dishes fitted the bill nicely: Sphere Glacee au Marron Meringue & Chestnut Ice Cream ($158) and Chocolate Ice Cream ($48) – both cool and refreshing, not too sweet, and each with a distinctive fruity or nutty flavour.

We firmly believe a good chef imposes his culinary philosophy on the restaurant in many ways: the fashioning of the menu and the preparation, delivery and presentation of the food. In the case of Seasons, Chef Olivier's personality comes through loud and clear, much to our pleasure.■

Olivier Elzer背景顯赫，祖父曾任俄羅斯沙皇御廚，Olivier師承多位米其林 法國名廚，之後曾擔任香港多間著名餐廳的主廚。Olivier Elzer憑着豐富的 經驗和對食物的熱情，開設了這間將傳統法式烹飪技巧和本地食材和烹飪 風格融合的餐廳，展現了高貴優雅的法式風情。 這次我們選擇到Seasons by Olivier E品嚐午餐，室內裝潢採用現代 風格，同時不失優雅。餐廳以季節為主題，分隔為幾個不同的區域，更設 有充滿夏日氣息的寬敞露台，是享受下午茶和工作之余休閒放鬆的好地 方。我們首先品嚐了餐廳的招牌菜式之一—海膽配三文魚他他及松露啫 喱 ($420) ，圓形小鐵盒裡面裝滿了一層層的食材，帶出豐富的口感和味 道。 下一道菜是烤海螯蝦伴黑米飯配香辣汁 ($548)，這同樣是Olivier的創 新菜式。黑米飯風味獨特，柔滑但並不過膩。海螯蝦烤得恰到好處，味道 濃烈而帶微辣的醬汁將整道菜式提升了一個層次。 主菜是一道令人眼前一亮的招牌菜式—烤荷蘭肉眼牛扒配紅蔥紅酒 汁 ($798) 。穀飼荷蘭肉眼牛扒上覆蓋著紅酒燴成的紅蔥及黑加侖子，再 佐以炸蒜片作點綴，烤香後再放入紅酒木盒內，並在旁邊鋪滿葡萄樹 枝。食客打開盒子時，縷縷輕煙隨即飄散，淡淡的樹枝香氣瀰漫空中。 肉眼牛扒嫩滑美味，紅酒汁更是突出了荷蘭牛扒的獨特風味，這道充滿 奇思妙想的菜式令人留下深刻印象。 飽餐一頓後當然少不了甜品作結。夏日炎炎，我們品嚐的兩款雪糕甜品 絕對是正確的選擇：栗子脆球配栗子雪糕 ($158) 和朱古力雪糕 ($48)。味道 都十分清新，但並不會太甜，獨特的水果和堅果的味道令我們心滿意足。 我們相信一位出色的廚師會將他的烹飪哲學融入餐廳的各個細節， 其中包括菜式的選擇、烹調方法和賣相等。在Seasons by Olivier E，我 們深刻地感受到主廚Olivier鮮明獨特的烹飪態度。■

ucina is an Italian restaurant located in the Marco Polo Hotel in Harbour City, one of Hong Kong’s best-known and busiest shopping malls, adjoining the landmark Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui. The restaurant is a longtime local favourite, whether for a meal with that special someone or a casual gathering of friends or business associates. Cucina is decked out in a contemporary theme, featuring a trendy inviting bar, an open kitchen, and a large rooftop terrace perfect for evening and after-dinner drinks. What surprises some though is the spectacular view of the Victoria Harbour that guests enjoy from the restaurant, either from inside or on the terrace – which makes our dining experience just that much more enjoyable.

But of course it’s still the food that matters to foodies like us, and Cucina maintains an excellent reputation for contemporary Italian cuisine using quality seasonal ingredients, exquisitely prepared by its cadre of chefs.

We chose lunch for our tasting occasion. To start we picked out a refreshing summer drink, Marco Polo Earl Grey Iced Tea ($78), which came highly recommended, and was indeed special and thirst quenching, with the grape adding a nice finishing touch and flavour. Our appetiser, Creamy Burrata Cheese with Fresh Tomatoes, Basil Salad and 24-month-aged Parma Ham ($268), is a house favourite. For this dish, the quality of the ingredients makes all the difference, the soft cheese and juicy flavourful tomatoes perfectly balancing out the taste and texture of the Parma ham.

For our pasta, we chose Linguini with Sicilian Red Prawns, in its Own Sauce Reduced and

Fresh Cherry Tomatoes ($368). As self-proclaimed connoisseurs of pasta of all varieties, we grade this one passing the mark handily: the linguini is just the right texture and firmness, the prawn is tender and fresh, the sauce really adds flavour and aroma, and we are always partial to tomato-based pastas anyway – the portion is generous too. We could order this dish every time and never tire of it.

The entrée is a nice contrast to the prawn pasta: Slow-cooked Wagyu Beef Cheek on Pumpkin Puree, Porcini Mushrooms and Barolo Red Wine Sauce ($428).The beef cheek tastes tender indeed, the pieces practically melting in the mouth. Yet, the beef flavour is still retained, enhanced by the red wine sauce, as are the porcini mushrooms which soak up the juice and sauce nicely.

We finished our lunch with Modern Light Tiramisu ($108), one of the many delicious desserts that Cucina is known for, and a fitting end to a hearty lunch, which left just the opening for a light dessert.

Lunch at Cucina proves a most relaxing and enjoyable experience – excellent food, stunning views, and comfy ambience. We can envisage that a dinner for a special occasion at Cucina would be an even more memorable dining experience. ■ Creamy Burrata Cheese with Fresh Tomatoes, Basil Salad and 24-month-aged Parma Ham 番茄水牛芝士配24個月巴馬火腿

Bao Bei Located in the heart of Hong Kong's nightlife hub in Lan Kwai Fong and long recognized for its classic cocktails and Asian fusion food menu, Bao Bei has reinvented itself and, starting in June, is showcasing fresh new dishes and desserts to its eager customers.

Several cold and hot small plates are served to start the meal. ThinSliced Pork Belly with Chili Garlic Sauce ($68) is quite spicy with a distinctive aroma of garlic and red vinegar. Asian Style Brussel Sprouts ($68) is much like a homemade dish with Chinese sausage, fish sauce and chili oil. Our favourite was Beef Tenderloin Wrappers ($88), a Chinese crepe with juicy tenderloin, celery, spring onion and Hoisin sauce.

Then comes the eagerly awaited main dish of the night: Baked Curry Chicken in Pineapple Bun Pizza Crust ($268), which is a combination of the local favorite 'Pineapple Bun' and classic clay baked 'Beggar's Chicken', and a real treat for our palates. Finally, Korean Bulgogi Rice in Claypot ($188) is a traditional rice claypot with Kimchi and beef on top and the flavour is nicely enhanced by the sweet soy sauce.

Bao Bei's new selections of desserts and drinks are equally tempting. Yin-Yang Panna Cotta ($68) playfully combines Hong Kongstyle milk tea and black coffee. Hibiscus Hawthorne Cheesecake ($88) and Green Tea Molten Red Bean Cake ($88) are also good choices to round out the meal.

Lobby Lounge at Conrad Hong Kong 香港港麗酒店樂聚廊 As summer approaches, its generous sunshine is welcome, but one can easily feel hot and tired. A perfect antidote is enjoying refreshing tropical food and drinks with friends and family in a relaxed setting.

Inspired by the Tropical Summer cosmetic collection by French brand By Terry, the Tropical Sunset Afternoon Tea Set features bright culinary creations alongside cocktails specially concocted by the hotel's mixologists.

Unexpected pairings such as Sandwich with foie gras, Snow crab meat, passion fruit cream and squid ink toast, take guests on a gastronomic adventure. Dessert highlights include By Terry macaroon in coconut rum flavour. The Pina colada éclair is a tribute to the quintessential tropical drink: here the beach party favourite is served with freshly baked bread.

The fascinating story of Gad & Co., an international boutique jewellery retailer, demonstrates the values of trust, integrity, hard work and a singular focus on serving customers – for a lifetime

極 致 珍 品

Life 恆 久 承 諾

T

he story of Gad & Co. began in 1983 when 16-year-old Doron Gad left his native Israel for New York City, with a guitar by his side and not much more, in search of a music career. By the age of 18, he had started his own business trading in jewellery, joined by his brother Amir shortly after. Thus Gad was born and it has remained a family business since.

Through sheer hard work, smarts, courage and a thirst for knowledge about all things jewellery, and particularly diamonds, Gad & Co. was able to create a growing niche in the jewellery business catering to American cruise liner tourists in Mexico and the Caribbean. It quickly expanded operations to include Thailand, South Africa and China, capped by the opening of Gad’s flagship store in Hong Kong in 1997, run by Amir. Today, Gad is recognised as one of the top boutique jewellery stores in the city.

It is particularly known for the variety of quality stones it offers, whether premium grade diamonds, coloured diamonds, or other precious gem stones like sapphires and rubies, as well as the highly individualised service it provides to clients to help each find just the right stone for any occasion.

What inspired the confidence and indeed the courage for Gad & Co. to make its mark in a highly competitive and mature market such as Hong Kong, where some of the largest jewellery retail operations in the world compete ferociously for market share? The answer is that Gad sticks to old-fashioned virtues such as trust, integrity, honesty and building longterm relationships, all anchored by deep knowledge of and unsurpassed skills in every facet of jewellery-making borne from decades of experience and passion. From sourcing stones from all over the world, to working with the best craftsmen to select, cut and polish the stones, to designing and setting each stone to fit exactly a customer’s requirement, Gad helps transform a physical masterpiece into an emotional creation, one that satisfies and fulfils the deepest needs of each customer.

And that deep knowledge is manifested most valuably in the sourcing of stones, arguably the most important attribute in high-end jewellery making, in which Gad has the network to find and recognise quality stones whether raw and finished, and move fast and flexibly to take advantage of unique sourcing opportunities. Equally important, the savings achieved from these sourcing advantages are passed on to clients so that they can acquire from Gad high quality jewellery pieces at prices that are highly reasonable and investment worthy.

As a result, Gad has an impressive record of converting walk-ins into buying customers, and retaining them as loyal clients with longterm relationships. Indeed the bulk of Gad’s business is from long-term clients whose needs and tastes in jewellery tend to evolve and grow more sophisticated.

As Gad & Co. looks to the future, it is confident that its approach is hitting the market sweet spot – that of catering to long-term, discerning clients who seek unique quality products, who value trusting relationships and attentive services, and who are passionate about collecting unique pieces.

So if you want to find the right jewellery piece and appreciate its beauty and all that it represents, pay a visit to Gad & Co. – you’ll be treated specially and more than that, you are likely to gain a partner to help guide your selections, for a lifetime. ■

‘Portraits and Surrogates’ by Taryn Simon at Gagosian Hong Kong

27 May-29 July. Ave’s works are windows into Iranian history and civilization, evoking t h e f o rg o t t e n s t o r i e s , a c t i v i t i e s a n d relationships that quietly flourished in the country and eventually disappeared. In Shah Abbas and his Page Boy, Fereydoun Ave has reached into a corner of Persian culture and given us a glimpse of the guarded domestic interior, inverting the conventional boundary between public and private and granting the viewer a glimpse of the intimate, whispered history of Iranian civilization. Tue-Sat, 11am6pm. 3C Yally Industrial Building, 6 Yip Fat Street, Wong Chuk Hang. 3575 9417. www. rossirossi.com

25 May - 5 Aug. Simon draws on three key bodies of recent work, as well as a video selfportrait made in collaboration with a Russian news programme, to examine the reciprocity between portraits and their surrogates. The technical, physical, and aesthetic realisation of Simon’s projects often reflects the control and authority that form the gist of her work.

Exhibition of new work by Bernard Frize at Simon Lee Gallery 7 Jun-13 July. Since the late 1970s, Frize has explored and elaborated the processes that define painting, with inventive means of applying paint that allow him to develop a profound exploration of his method and of the materiality of the medium. Free of personal expression, Frize’s practice is based on technique and movement in which paint, tools and formulated methods for applying paint on canvas determine the motif or pattern.

Traditional Chinese scholars were accomplished in painting, poetry, chess and qin. They would enrich their study rooms with a range of objects important to the pursuit of these activities. These objects embodied the highest degree of technical precision and finely honed aesthetic sensibilities.

Scholars also believed in the power of nature to inspire their creativity for music, painting or calligraphy, and thus displayed objects of natural stone or natural wood in their study. This month, Oi Ling Antiques presents two unique natural root stands of zitan and huanghuali wood. The stands were used to display various types of potted plants that are more commonly known in the west as bonsai following the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese characters 盆 栽 .

HOTEL CORNER

酒店專才

MEET THE

GENERAL MANAGER Alexander O. Wassermann, General Manager of the InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong, shares his thoughts on his career and hotel experience that has spanned several continents 海景嘉福洲際酒店韋瑞民總經理與我們分享他的職業生涯和在世界 各地的酒店工作的經歷。 I grew up in the Bavaria region of Germany; I started my hotel career almost 20 years ago at the Intercontinental Hotel in Dallas, Texas. It was a large hotel with huge banqueting facilities; the ballroom alone could accommodate 5,000 people and hold major concerts. I was really impressed with the scale and realised the industry offered much to explore.

Then I was in Shanghai when the city was really taking off; the transformation was amazing.

I went to Jordan and worked at a resort hotel on the Dead Sea, a beautiful place by the beach that frequently hosted royal receptions. I also worked in Dubai, opened a hotel in Egypt, then came to Hong Kong to work for the Grand Stanford for a few years before moving to Qingdao to run the InterContinental there. Then the opportunity came up to come back here as the General Manager, something I was really excited to do.

The Intercontinental Grand Stanford has been a landmark hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui for 36 years. Our location is excellent; with many loyal guests served by our many loyal staff. Still, in the hotel business we need to keep up with change, including our infrastructure. So we are developing a master plan for the hotel for the next 10 years with many projects in the pipeline that will take the hotel to a whole new level. I am excited to help guide this process going forward.

Hong Kong hotels’ professional level is “Premier League”, on a par with London and New York, and I am proud to be part of the hotel industry here.

There is so much to like about the city: many restaurants to explore, with new concepts emerging all the time. The diversity of people makes the city a vibrant place to live. The architecture is also fascinating, from wet markets to old buildings to skyscrapers of all kinds, blended with a great natural outdoors..

Above all, though, Hong Kong is an incredibly safe city, a fact perhaps under-advertised. I am not afraid to walk on any street, anywhere in Hong Kong – it’s totally safe. I can’t say that for many places, including my home country Germany.

Alexander O. Wassermann 韋瑞民

我在德國巴伐利亞長大，我的酒店生涯是20年前在德克薩斯 州達拉斯的洲際酒店開始的。那是一家很大的酒店，有大型 宴會設施，光是舞廳就能容納 5000 人，適合舉辦大型音樂 會。 之後我去了上海，當時上海正在快速發展和轉型。後來我去 了約旦，在死海海灘附近一間美麗的度假式酒店工作。我也 在杜拜工作過，還參與開設了埃及的一家酒店。幾年前我開 始在香港海景嘉福酒店工作，之後去了青島洲際酒店。然後 我獲得了回來這裡擔任總經理的機會，我感到十分興奮。 海景嘉福洲際酒店已經在尖沙咀屹立了36年，一直都是這裡 的地標之一。酒店的地理位置十分優越，顧客和員工的忠實 度都很高。然而酒店行業必須與時俱進，基礎設施當然也要 跟上時代變化。因此我們對於酒店未來10年的發展有一連串 的計劃，我相信這一系列計劃可以將酒店提升到一個新的層 次，我非常期待。 香港酒店業的專業程度可與倫敦和紐約媲美，我很驕傲能成 為香港酒店業的一份子。 香港有太多值得欣賞的地方了：這裡的美食多不勝數，不斷 有新餐廳出現。不同文化背景的人在這裡共同生活，令香港 成為一個充滿活力的城市。這裡的建築也十分多元化，街 市、舊建築和各種風格的摩天大樓鱗次櫛比，更有大量的戶 外運動好去處。

Many visitors are surprised by how green Hong Kong is: we have four marine parks, one of which offers a really rich coral environment, and many country parks as well. I do think we can make them more accessible to visitors from the standpoint of creating attractive facilities in these areas so that visitors can enjoy a truly memorable experience, similar to a nice hotel or restaurant in the Alps for skiers in the winter.

香港是一個非常安全的城市，但這經常被大家認為是理所當 然的。我在香港任何一條街道上走都不覺得害怕，這裡實在 太安全了。在其它地區我可不敢這麼說，包括我的祖國德 國。

My two favourite routes for visitors: One: from our hotel, stroll along the Harbourfront walk to the Star Ferry, which you take to Central, and on to the 260 double-decker bus to Stanley; after seeing Stanley market, take lunch on the promenade, back to the IFC via bus, Yoga Ice cream at IFC mall, then Hollywood Road and Cat Street for souvenir hunting, and pre-dinner drinks in Soho. Two: Explore nature and go to Sai Kung for a day; take a boat to a remote beach or island, and find a private kitchen for a nice seafood dinner.

讓很多旅客驚訝的是，香港大部分地區為山林覆蓋：香港有 四個海岸公園，其中一個有着非常豐富的珊瑚群落。此外， 香港還有許多郊野公園，我認為我們可以在這些地方建立更 多具吸引力的基礎設施，方便遊客前往參觀。就像對於滑雪 者來說，冬天在阿爾卑斯山脈上遇到一間舒適的酒店或餐廳 絕對是難忘的體驗。 我為旅客推薦兩條我最喜歡的遊覽路線： 1. 從我們酒店出 發，沿着海濱走到天星碼頭，乘坐天星小輪到中環，然後乘 搭260號雙層巴士到達赤柱市集，您可以在海邊享用午餐，乘 巴士回到國際金融中心，在商場裡面品嚐乳酪雪糕，然後到 荷李活道和摩羅上街淘紀念品，晚餐前還可到SoHo荷南美食 區小酌一杯。2. 花一天時間到西貢親近大自然，乘船到遠離 市區的海灘或島嶼，品嚐一頓美味的私房菜或海鮮盛宴。
