A

s chairman of Hong Kong Hotels Association, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to Hong Kong and to CityLife, the monthly magazine for visitors to Asia’s World City.

The Covid Omicron variant outbreak, which exploded in January this year, has slowed to the modest level of a few hundred infections a day. As a result, the city has largely reopened, and the quarantine period for inbound travellers is reduced to seven days. Shopping malls, restaurants, bars and cinemas have resumed near-normal operations. However, the LeaveHomeSafe app showing proof of proper vaccination is still mandatory for entry into most public venues, including restaurants. We hope that the government considers further relaxation of Covid restrictions as the virus turns increasingly endemic.

This month, CityLife Magazine marks its 20th anniversary, having published its inaugural issue in May 2002. Please join me in congratulating CityLife and its publisher for this significant milestone – all the more remarkable as a print publication in the new digital era. We wish the magazine many more years of providing up-to-date, useful and interesting information showcasing the best Hong Kong has to offer visitors and residents.

A review of the changes to Hong Kong over those last 20 years highlights many impacts on the tourism and hospitality industry. Among the myriad changes have been landmark infrastructure works, new signature skyscrapers, the opening of major attractions, remarkable transformations of neighbourhoods, and more. You can catch the whole tale from page 6.

Through continuous coverage of all things to do, see and visit in Hong Kong these past 20 years, the editorial staff have developed certain preferences. For this month’s commemorative issue, our feature story unveils CityLife’s 21 favourite things to do: consider it the ultimate bucket list. Please go to page 14 for all the choice selections.

Many of the city’s scheduled events and shows are set to resume: a slate of art shows at prominent city venues, a couple of fairs, and live music concerts, among others. Please check out our Calendar section for details.

We revel in the re-opening of the city’s restaurants for night-time dining. This month, we feature a sumptuous omakase dining experience, a relaxed dinner at a trendy grill and bar steakhouse, and a hearty comfort meal at a Spanish restaurant. Please go to our dining section for reviews of these establishments and more.

As the city continues to rebound from the pandemic, we appreciate your patronage of our hotels and their dining outlets, and please enjoy Hong Kong and all it has to offer.

CityLife Anniversary th issue

20 YEARS OF A CITY ON THE MOVE 东方之珠20 周年特刊—— 回顾香港20 年!

CityLife Magazine’s 20th anniversary, we review the changes that have taken place in Hong Kong, O nreinforcing the city as one of the world’s most dynamic and fascinating places to visit.

在 《东方之珠》杂志创刊20周年之际，我们带您回顾香港这些年的变化，帮您了解香港 是如何成为世界上最具活力和魅力的旅游城市之一的。

I

t has certainly been an eventful 20 years in Hong Kong since CityLife Magazine published its inaugural issue in May 2002. As a showcase of the best Hong Kong has to offer arriving visitors, the magazine has tracked and conveyed multifaceted changes in our beloved city. And what changes they have been – ever-taller skyscrapers adding to city’s famous skyline; major transport infrastructural works that cement its reputation as Asia’s transport and logistics hub; new sporting and arts events, festivals and trade shows to buttress the city’s cultural vibrancy; continuing upgrading and expansion of the city’s tourism infrastructure to accommodate more visitors, plus a slew of transformations of the city’s internal built and transport environment.

The city’s population continues to grow, especially through immigration, with the newcomers contributing to the evolution of its neighbourhoods, and impacting its food culture, shopping and leisure trends.

CityLife has been proud to witness and highlight these changes throughout. So, allow CityLife to take a walk down memory lane and revisit the changes that have made Hong Kong an ever more attractive city to visit. Enjoy!

自 已經過去了 20 年。作為向來訪者展示香港 2002 年 5 月《東方之珠》雜誌創刊以來，

最好的雜誌，一直追踪並傳達我們心愛的城市的多方面 變化。以及它們發生了哪些變化——越來越高的摩天 大樓增加了城市著名的天際線；主要的交通基礎設施工 程，鞏固了其作為亞洲交通和物流樞紐的聲譽；新的體 育和藝術活動、節日和貿易展覽，以支持城市的文化活 力；不斷升級和擴建城市的旅遊基礎設施，以容納更多 的遊客，以及城市內部建築和交通環境的一系列轉變。 該市的人口結構也發生了重大變化，部分原因是 移民持續有增無減，並佔該市人口增長的大部分。這 影響了社區的發展方式以及城市的飲食文化、購物和 休閒趨勢。 《東方之珠》一直自豪地見證和強調這些變化， 沿着記憶的軌跡走一走，重溫那些使香港成為一個更 具吸引力的城市的變化！

Demographics

人口统计

It is said that demographics is destiny, and so it is with Hong Kong. Like most advanced societies, Hong Kong is aging rapidly thanks to abysmally low birth rates. Major demographic changes from 2002 to 2022 include:

1 2 3

Population: the city’s population went from approximately 6.75 million to 7.5 million, a modest 11% increase over 20 years.

Immigration: Over 1 million people immigrated to Hong Kong as residents, most of them coming from China under various immigration schemes, including 900,000 under the One Way Permit scheme.

Aging Society: Despite significant influx of a younger immigration population, the median age of Hong Kong’s population increased 7 years, from 37 years to 44.4. The city’s life expectancy, one of the world’s longest, has increased from 81 years to 85 years. The city’s fertility rate, which has hovered around 1 since the 1990s, remains one of the lowest in the world, and well below the replacement birth rate of 2.1.

有人說，人口就是城市的命脈，香港也是如此。與大多數先進社會一 樣，由於出生率極低，香港正在迅速老齡化。 2002 年至 2022 年的主 要人口變化包括：

1 2 3

人口： 全市人口從約 675 萬增加到 750 萬，20 年來適度增長 11%。 移民： 超過 100 萬人以居民身份到了香港，其中大部分來自內 地，通過各種簽證計劃，其中 900,000 人通過優秀人才計劃。 老齡化社會： 儘管年輕移民人口大量湧入，但香港人口的中位年 齡增加了 7 歲，由 37 歲增至 44.4 歲。這座城市的預期壽命是 世界上最長的城市之一，已從 81 歲增加到 85 歲。該市的生育 率自 1990 年代以來一直徘徊在 1 左右，仍然是世界上最低的城 市之一，遠低於 2.1 的平均出生率。

Tourism

旅游业

Visitor arrivals increased dramatically over the past two decades, mostly due to the implementation of the Individual Visitor Scheme for Mainland visitors in 2003. Visitor arrivals rose fourfold from 16.6 million in 2002 to a peak of 65.1 million in 2018, dropping off to 55.9 million in 2019 during the social unrest, and falling off completely in 2021 and 2022 due to the Covid pandemic. Percentage of same-day arrivals rose from 30% in 2002 (5.1 million) to 55% (35.9 million) in 2018, by far the biggest increase segment.

This rapid growth in tourism has had a major impact on the city’s tourism infrastructure such as hotels, shopping, dining and transport. 過去二十年旅客人數大幅增加，主要是由於 2003 年實施內地旅客個人遊計 劃。旅客人數從 2002 年的 1,660 萬人次增長四倍至 2018 年的峰值 6,510 萬人次，由於社會運動，在2019年下降至5,590萬人次，而且受到新冠病毒 大流行影響，2021 年和 2022 年迅速下降。從2002年起入境不過夜旅客由 30%（510萬）上升到 2018 年的 55%（3590萬），是迄今為止增幅最大 的部分。旅遊業的快速增長對該市的旅遊基礎設施產生了重大影響，包括酒 店、購物、餐飲和交通等。

Hotels

COVER STORY 封面故事

酒店

New hotels were built at a rapid pace to meet burgeoning demand, split between large greenfield hotels and smaller or boutique redeveloped or converted hotels. Total hotel rooms more than doubled, increasing from around 41,000 rooms in 2002 to almost 89,000 rooms in 2022. Notable hotels opened in the last 20 years include The Four Seasons Hong Kong, Ritz Carlton Hong Kong, St. Regis. The trend towards branded hotels managed by international management hotel companies has continued unabated. As a result, major hotel chains such as Marriott (and formerly Starwood, Hyatt, Hilton and Accor) have enjoyed significant presence from 20 years ago. Today, Hong Kong enjoys a diverse and vibrant hotel industry offering a wide array of hotels serving different segments of the tourism industry. 新酒店不斷湧現以滿足不斷增長的需求，包括大型新建酒店和小型或精品酒 店重新開發或改建。酒店客房總數翻了一番多，從 2002 年的約 41,000 間客 房增加到 2022 年的近 89,000 間客房。過去 20 年開設的著名酒店包括香港 四季酒店、香港麗思卡爾頓酒店、瑞吉酒店等。由國際管理酒店公司管理的 品牌酒店的趨勢持續有增無減，因此，萬豪（以及前身為喜達屋、凱悅、希 爾頓和雅高）等主要連鎖酒店從 20 年前開始就享有盛譽。今天，香港擁有多 元化和充滿活力的酒店業，提供種類繁多的酒店服務於旅遊業的不同領域。

Transport Infrastructure 交通基础设施

Hong Kong has always prided itself on having first class infrastructure, which it has taken to new heights over the last 20 years. Examples include: 香港一直以擁有一流的基礎設施而自豪，過去 20 年達到了新的高度。 包括：

1 Bridges and Tunnels 桥梁和隧道

Stonecutters Bridge (2009) is one of the world’s longest cablestayed bridges and the city’s tallest; the Shenzhen Bay Bridge (2007) helped create a major new border crossing between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. The Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge (2018), a 55km world-class engineering marvel comprising of three bridges, an undersea tunnel and four artificial islands that was almost 10 years in the making, finally fulfils the government vision of connecting Hong Kong to the western part of the Pearl River Delta. The latest bridge and tunnel in Tsuen Kwan O linking the industrial estate to Lam Tin will soon add to the stellar list of the city’s bridges, all of them built within the last 25 years.

Hong Kong has also added to its long list of road tunnels built. They include the Eagle’s Nest and Shatin Heights tunnels which connect Shatin to the airport via the Stonecutter’s Bridge; the Nam Wan Tunnel, the little known 4.8 km Lung Shan tunnel that connect Fan Ling to Sha Tau Kok border control point, the long awaited 4.5 km Central Wanchai Bypass (2019), and finally the much touted 5.5 km Tuen Mun to Chek Lap Kok tunnel that opened in 2020. The city’s connectivity continues to improve.

www.hkcitylife.com | MAY/JUNE 2022

昂船洲大橋（2009）是世界上最長的斜拉橋之一，也是該市最高的橋樑；深圳灣 大橋（2007 年）幫助在香港和深圳之間建立了一個重要的新過境點。港珠澳大橋 （2018年）是一座由3座橋樑、1條海底隧道和4個人工島組成的55公里世界級工 程奇蹟，歷時近10年，終於實現了連接香港與珠江三角洲西部。將軍澳最新的橋 樑和隧道將工業區與藍田連接起來，很快就會成為該市橋樑的明星名單，所有這 些橋樑都是在過去 25 年內建成的。 香港也增加了已建成的公路隧道的長長名單。其中包括尖山隧道和沙田嶺隧道， 通過昂船洲大橋連接沙田和機場；南灣隧道、連接粉嶺和沙頭角邊境管制站的鮮 為人知的 4.8 公里龍山隧道、期待已久的 4.5 公里中環灣仔繞道（2019 年），最 後是廣受知曉的 5.5 公里屯門至赤鱲角，該隧道於 2020 年開通。整座城市的連 通性不斷提高。

2 High-speed Rail 高铁 Hong Kong finally joined the vast and expanding network of high-speed rail in China by completing its leg (26 km) of the Guangzhou- Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Link which connects passengers directly from all the way from Beijing to Hong Kong. It reduces travel time to Guangzhou by more than half, to just under an hour. Now closed due to the pandemic, the high-speed rail should prove its mettle once travel resumes normally between Hong Kong and China. 香港這座城市終於加入了中國龐大且不斷擴大的高鐵網絡，完 成了廣深港高速鐵路的一段（26 公里），該高速鐵路貫通北京 到香港。它將到廣州的旅行時間縮短了一半以上，全程不到一 個小時。由於新冠大流行而關閉，相信不久後就會恢復正常。

3 Hong Kong International Airport 香港国际机场 Arguably the crown jewel in all of the city’s infrastructure works, the Hong Kong International Airport, which opened in 1998, quickly outgrew its initial capacity in response to escalating visitor arrivals from China. Since most of the added flights are short haul using smaller planes, whereas the airport was originally designed to handle long-haul flights with large planes, the airport had to adapt. That includes adding a new check-in terminal in 2007 (Terminal 2), a 10-gate North Satellite Concourse for smaller planes (2009) and the mid-concourse terminal with 20 gates in 2016.

The airport continues to be busy with development activitity. The controversial Thirdrunway with its own terminal was finally given the go ahead and is under construction, scheduled to be completed in 2024. SkyCity, the airport’s business, retail and entertainment complex will be adding 11 Skies, a 3.8-million-square-foot integrated retail, office and entertainment mall. Completion of these projects should see the HKIA cement its role as the aviation hub for the Greater Bay Area and reclaim its envied position as one of the best airports in the world. 香港國際機場於 1998 年啟用，可以說是這座城市所有基礎設施工程中的皇冠上的明 珠，但由於來自中國內地的遊客人數不斷增加，其容量迅速超出了最初的容量。由於大 多數增加的航班都是使用小型飛機的短途航班，而機場最初是為處理大型飛機的長途航 班而設計的，因此機場不得不進行調整。這包括在 2007 年增加一個新的值機終端（2 號航站樓）、10個閘的北衛星客運廊，用於小型飛機（2009 年）和 2016 年有 20 個登 機口的中央大廳航站樓。 機場繼續擴建中。備受爭議的擁有自己航站樓的第三跑道終於獲批並正在建設中，計劃 於 2024 年完工。機場的商業、零售和娛樂設施 SkyCity 將新增 11 Skies——一個 380 萬平方英尺的綜合零售、辦公和娛樂購物中心。完成這些項目後，香港國際機場將鞏固 其作為大灣區航空樞紐的地位，並重新獲得令人羨慕的世界最佳機場之一的地位。

COVER STORY 封面故事

4 MTR

地铁

The backbone of Hong Kong’s famed public transport system has been more than busy in the last 20 years, adding new stations and new lines to its expanding Labyrinthire network. After its merger with the former Kowloon and Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC) in 2007, the MTR actively undertook to add new lines and stations, doubling its number of stations over the period to almost 100. New lines include the Tseung Kwan O Line, Disney Resort Line, Airport Extension to Asia Expo, Ma On Shan (2004) which is now part of the recently completed Tuen Ma Line (2020), West Island Line (2015) that extended the Island Line to Kennedy Town, Kwun Tong Extension Line to Ho Man Tin and Whampoa (2016), South Island Line (2016), and the just completed Shatin to Central Link as part of the East Rail Line. The MTR offers unparalleled connectivity for years to come. 作為香港著名的公共交通系統的骨幹，在過去 20年裡一直忙得不可開交，在 其不斷擴大的迷宮式地鐵網絡中增加了新的車站和新的線路。 2007年與前九 廣鐵路公司（KCRC）合併後，地鐵公司積極着手增加新的線路和車站，在此 期間，其鐵路系統的車站數量增加了一倍，達到近100個。新線路包括將軍澳 線、迪士尼度假區線、機場支線至亞洲博覽會、馬鞍山（2004年），現在是 最近完成的屯馬線（2020年）的一部分、西港島線（2015年），將港島線延 伸至堅尼地城、觀塘延伸線至何文田和黃埔（2016年）、南島（2016年）， 以及剛剛完成的沙田至中環線，是東鐵線的一部分。在未來的日子裡，地鐵 提供了無與倫比的連接網絡。

Victoria Harbourfront Promenades 维多利亚港海滨长廊

The longstanding vision of creating a continuous promenade along both sides of Victoria Harbour, arguably the crown jewel of the city and its soul, continues. Much progress has been made since 2002, albeit seemingly at a snail’s pace sometimes. Key stretches on both sides of the harbour are in place and the beautification has made a striking difference to the harbour – expansive promenades with attractive and varying landscaping offering a slew of activities for users. And, of course the harbour views are spectacular and unlike anywhere in the world.

Essentially, almost all of the harbourfront promenades were built since 2002. Prominent ones include, on Hong Kong Island, almost all of the Central and Western District Promenade stretching from Kennedy Town to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre and connecting to the Wan Chai Temporary Promenade, the North Point Promenade, the Quarry Bay Promenade connecting to the Sai Wan Ho Promenade and on to Aldrich Bay. The Kowloon waterfront includes a redeveloped Avenue of the Stars which now connects to Hung Hom Promenade, the West Kowloon Promenade, and the Kwun Tong Promenade. Do take a stroll on any of the stretches – it is the essence of Hong Kong.

沿着維多利亞港兩岸建造一條連續長廊的願景仍在，維多利亞港可以說是這座 城市的皇冠上的寶石，也是靈魂。自 2002 年以來，建設工程已經取得了很大的 進展，儘管似乎是以蝸牛的速度，海港兩岸的關鍵路段都已完成，而改造也給海 港帶來了驚人的變化——寬闊的長廊，豐富多彩的景觀，一系列的娛樂活動。當 然，海港的景色也很壯觀，與世界上任何地方都不同。 基本上，幾乎所有的海濱長廊都是在2002年以後建成的。突出的有，香港島的中 西區海濱長廊，從堅尼地城延伸到香港會議展覽中心，並連接到灣仔臨時長廊， 北角長廊，連接到西灣河長廊的鰂魚涌長廊，到愛秩序灣。九龍海濱包括重建後 的星光大道，現在與紅磡海濱長廊、西九龍海濱長廊和觀塘海濱長廊相連接。歡 迎大家打卡長廊漫步——它是香港的精髓。

Skyline and Buildings

天际线和摩天大楼

The difference in the city’s famous skyline is noticeable after 20 years, thanks in part to the addition to another generation of skyscrapers. You may be surprised to note that 14 of the tallest 20 skyscrapers were built after 2002.

Prominent buildings and structures that have enhanced the city’s skyline include: ICC, the city’s tallest building, in West Kowloon, IFC Two in Central, Nina Tower in Tsuen Wan, One Island East, Victoria Dockside, The Cullinan, The Masterpiece, Langham Place, Jockey Club Innovation Tower and many others. We should mention that the advent of LED lighting on buildings has transformed the harbour at night into a gigantic, dizzying lighting display all along the harbourfront.

20年過去了，這座城市的天際線變化十分明顯，部分原因是 新一批摩天大樓的建成。最高的 20 座摩天大樓中有 14 座是 在 2002 年之後建成的。提升城市天際線的著名建築和結構 包括：位於西九龍的全市最高建築 ICC ，位於中環的國際金 融中心二期，位於荃灣的如心廣場，港島東一號，維港文化 匯、天璽、名鑄、朗豪坊、賽馬會創新樓等等。建築物上的 LED照明，使夜晚的海港變成了一個巨大的、令人眼花繚亂 的燈光秀。

Attractions and Amusement Parks

景点和游乐园

Except for Ocean Park which was built in 1977 but went through an extensive development starting in 2005, all other major attractions and amusement parks in Hong Kong were built over the last 20 years. They include Hong Kong Disneyland, Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car and Ngong Ping Village, Hong Kong Wetland Park, Noah’s Ark Hong Kong, AIA Vitality Park and Observation Wheel, and the recently opened Water World at Ocean Park, sky100 Hong Kong Observation Deck, the nightly Symphony of Lights.

海洋公園建於1977年，從2005年開始不斷擴建，香港其他的 主要景點和遊樂園都是在過去20年裡建成的。包括香港迪士 尼樂園、昂坪360纜車和昂坪市集、香港濕地公園、香港挪亞 方舟、友邦活力公園和香港摩天輪，以及最近開放的海洋公 園水世界、天際100香港觀景台、維多利亞港燈光秀等等。

COVER STORY 封面故事

Events, Shows and Exhibitions

活动、表演和展览

With the completion of several large exhibition centres and the central harbourfront event space, the city was able to host several world class events and shows that have helped enhanced the city’s vibrant image.

Key events include the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival, launched by the Hong Kong Tourism Board in 2009 and which quickly became one of Asia’s premier culinary events attracting thousands of visitors and exhibitors alike; Art Basel Hong Kong (2013), and the Hong Kong Cyclothon (2015), the city’s premier cycling racing event. 隨着幾個大型展覽中心和中環海濱活動空間的建成，該市能夠舉辦多個世界 級的活動和表演，有助於提升城市的活力形象。主要活動包括香港美酒佳餚 節，由香港旅遊發展局於 2009 年首次推出，並迅速成為亞洲首屈一指的美 食盛會之一，吸引了成千上萬的參觀者和參展商；還有香港巴塞爾藝術展 （2013 年）和香港單車賽事香港單車節（2015 年）。

Museums and Heritage Assets

博物馆和遗址

The city added several noteworthy museums to its portfolio since 2002. They include Dr. Sun Yat Sen Museum, the Alexander Grantham Fireboat, Tai Kwun, formerly the Central Police station converted into an art heritage centre, formerly PMQ, Central Market, Xiqu Centre, a performance venue for Chinese opera, and the recently opened M+ Museum. 自 2002 年以來，該市在其投資組合中增加了幾個值得注意的博物 館。其中包括孫中山博物館、葛量洪號滅火輪展覽館、大館（前中區 警署建築群），中環元創方市場、戲曲中心——中國戲曲表演場地， 以及最近的 M+ 博物館。

West Kowloon Cultural District

西九文化区

It has taken more than 20 years, but we are nearing completion of the development of Western Cultural District, Hong Kong’s next art hub. The opening up of the waterfront was much welcome, as well as the addition of Xiqu Centre, Art Park and Free Space, and of course the spectacular M+ Museum whose nightly lighting display embraces the waterfront. The Lyric Theatre Complex, the Hong Kong Palace Museum plus other facilities should complete this development. But it’ll be worth the wait. 歷經 20 多年，隨着香港下一個藝術中心西區文化區的發展，終於看到了終 點。戲曲中心、藝術公園和自由空間的增加，當然還有壯觀的 M+ 博物館， 夜間燈光展示環繞海濱，讓這邊變得生動多彩。未來還會有演藝綜合劇場、 香港故宮文化博物館和其他設施建築於此。

Kai Tak Development

启德机场发展

The former airport largely sat fallow until development started in earnest with the completion of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal in 2013. Residential development soon followed, and the impending completion of the Kai Tak Sports Park will make it the city’s new sports hub. Much more needs to be done before this large site is fully developed, perhaps over the next decade.

前機場基本上處於閒置狀態，直到 2013 年啟德郵輪碼頭落成後才真 正開始發展。住宅擴張緊隨其後，啟德體育公園也即將落成，落成後 將成為該市的新的體育中心。在這個大型地盤完全開發之前，可能需 要十年。

Neighbourhoods

社区

A fascinating aspect of Hong Kong is that its many older neighbourhoods continue to undergo organic transformation in response to demographic changes. With gentrification, redevelopment, and influxes of expatriates, places such as Wanchai, Sheung Wan, Sai Ying Pun and Kennedy Town have turned into tony and vibrant neighbourhoods with trendy boutique shops, coffee houses, restaurants and bars, and where the younger generation coexist with the older generation and their way of life. Sham Shui Po and Cheung Sha Wan are undergoing similar renewal, enhancing the neighbourhoods as places to visit and explore. 香港令人着迷的一個方面是，許多老舊社區都在有機轉型，以應對人口變 化。隨着中產階級化、重建和外籍人士的湧入，灣仔、上環、西陰盤和堅尼 地城等地變成了活力街區，擁有時尚的精品店、咖啡館、餐廳和酒吧，年輕 一代與老一代和他們的生活方式相互交融。深水埗和長沙灣也在進行類似的 更新，將社區提升為遊覽和探索的地方。

Food Culture

饮食文化

Perhaps one of the biggest changes to Hong Kong is the evolution of its already rich and renowned food culture. Thousands more restaurants have opened over the last 20 years, but it is the sheer diversity of cuisines and choices offered that impresses. Fusion cuisines of all types are offered; chef-centric restaurants become the norm rather than a quirk, a proliferation of bakeries, dessert shops, specialty and regional cuisine restaurants have all made Hong Kong one of the world’s most exciting culinary hubs, and confirmed by the many awards these restaurants have picked up. Bon appetit, Hong Kong! 也許香港最大的變化之一是完善其已經豐富和著名的飲食文化。在過去的 20 年裡，開設了數千家餐廳，但令人印象深刻的是菜餚的多樣性。提供各種類 型的融合美食；以廚師為中心的概念餐廳已成為常態，麵包店、甜品店、特 色和地方美食餐廳的激增，都使香港成為世界上最令人期待的美食中心之 一，這些餐廳獲得的眾多獎項也證實了這一點。香港絕對讓你胃口大開！

Instagram Spots

Cape D’Aguilar

Instagr am 景点-鹤咀

Choosing just one or two of our favourite Instagram spots is wellnigh impossible with literally thousands of locations suitable to snap a picture for social media fame. Still, the picturesque Cape D’Aguilar with its rugged coastline, spectacular caves, lighthouse and even a whale skeleton is our star pick for taking a string of memorable pictures. 香港有數以千計的地點適合拍攝照片發在 ins 上，硬要挑選一兩個是不可能 的。 不過，風景如畫的鶴咀擁有崎嶇的海岸線、壯觀的洞穴、燈塔甚至鯨魚的 骨架，絕對是拍攝一連串難忘相片的首選之地。

Runner-up 第二选项 The recently discovered Bishop Hill underground reservoir in Shek Kip Mei with its Romanesque architecture wins the wow factor for surprising contrast with its surroundings.

最近在石硤尾發現的主教山地配水庫 ，其羅馬式建築與周圍環境形成了驚人的 對比，同樣廣受讚譽。

Hikes

Lantau Trail to Sunset Peak

徒步旅行- 大屿山至大 东山

With hundreds of kilometres of well-marked hiking trails to choose from, we are again terrifically spoiled for choice. But the scenic and rugged Lantau Trail from Mui Wo to Sunset Peak to Lantau Peak (as an option) comes out tops for us. This hike offers spectacular vistas of the South China Sea, the surrounding mountains, the airport, and Hong Kong Zhuhai Macau Bridge as well as everchanging foliage as you hike up the hills. And you get an honest day’s worth of exercise too. 有數百公里標記明顯的徒步路線可供選擇，不過，從梅窩到日落峰再到 大嶼山的崎嶇山路（可供選擇）是我們的首推。徒步旅行可以欣賞到壯 觀嘅南海、周圍嘅山脈、機場同港珠澳大橋，以及不斷變化嘅樹葉，身 體都能得到足夠嘅鍛煉。

Runner-up 第二选项 Dragon’s Back: Hong Kong’s most famous hiking trail is spectacularly scenic, relatively easy to hike, and convenient to get to – but can get a bit crowded on weekends.

龍脊： 這是香港最著名的徒步旅行路線，風景優美，相對容易徒步，也 很方便，但在周末會變得格外熱鬧。

Country Parks

Sai Kung East Country Park

郊野公园- 西贡东郊野 公园

Hong Kong’s emerald back yard offers everything you could want in a country park: verdant hills, jagged coastlines and bluffs, sandy white beaches, reservoirs, rustic villages, island getaways and fantastic rock formations – most of them accessible by a labyrinth of hiking trails. It’s unbeatable. 香港翠綠的花園提供了你在郊野公園想要的一切：青翠的小山、鋸齒狀的海岸線 和懸崖、白色的沙灘、水庫、鄉村村莊、島嶼度假勝地和神奇的岩層——大多數 都可以通過迷宮般的徒步小徑到達。確實是無與倫比的。

Runner-up 第二选项 Tai Tam Country Park: A haven for hiking, the largest country park on Hong Kong Island offers a sanctuary only minutes from the city centre – scenic reservoirs, summits with spectacular views of the city, the harbour, and the surrounding hills. 大潭郊野公園： 大潭郊野公園是遠足的好去處。大潭郊野公園是香港島最大的 郊野公園，距離市中心只有幾分鐘的路程。 MAY/JUNE 2022

Harbourfront promenades

Western to Wanchai Harbourfront Promenade 海滨长廊- 西区至湾仔 的海滨长廊

It has taken seemingly forever, but the long-promised ambitious undertaking to create and develop a connected, world-class harbourfront promenade stretching from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan moved another important step closer with the completion of the Central to Wanchai promenade and the construction of the East Coast Park Precinct by the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter in Tin Hau. The new stretches of the promenade are much livelier, offer lots more seating, play areas including skating, loads of Instagram spots, and even paddle boats for kids. The views are stunning, of course. 雖然看似興建需時，但隨着中環至灣仔海濱長廊嘅完工，以及天后銅鑼灣避風塘旁的東岸公園 主題區的建成，創建這條由堅尼地城到筲箕灣的連通世界級海濱長廊的宏偉計劃又邁進了重要 一步。新修好的長廊更加熱鬧，提供了更多的休憩空間，包括可以玩滾軸溜冰的遊戲區，大量的 Instagram 景點，甚至還有划船。當然，這裡的景色都非常迷人。

Runner-up 第二选项 Star Avenue to Hung Hom: The walk from Avenue of the Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, starting from Star Ferry then on to Hung Hom Promenade at Whampoa offers unparalleled views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island and remains one of our favourites.

星光大道至紅磡： 從尖沙咀的天星碼頭出發，步行到黃埔的紅磡海濱長廊，可以看到維多利亞 港和香港島的無敵美景，我們非常推薦這條路線。

Beaches

Repulse Beach

海滩-浅水 湾

It may not be the uber white and smooth sandy beaches you can find elsewhere in Hong Kong. But for its convenient location, expansive length, natural setting of islands and headland, and striking background of skyscrapers framed by imposing mountains, there are good reasons why Repulse Bay is Hong Kong’s most famous beach, and our favourite too. 它可能不是您在香港其他地方可以找到的超級白和光滑的沙灘。但是，由於 其便利的地理位置，廣闊的長度，島嶼和犄角的自然環境，以及以引人注目 的摩天大樓和巍峨山脈為背景，淺水灣有充分的理由成為香港最著名的海 灘，亦是我們最喜歡的海灘。

Runner-up 第二选项 Ham Tin Beaches Sai Kung (Tai Long Wan): The expansive white sand beaches and its picturesque verdant setting of Tai Lon Wan makes you wonder if you are not in Hawaii instead – far and away the city’s prettiest beaches – you’ll need to hike an hour or two to get there though.

西貢鹹田泳灘： 大浪灣廣闊的白沙海灘加上風景如畫的青翠環境讓你懷疑自 己是否身處在夏威夷，這裏是香港最美的海灘，不過需要徒步兩個小時才能 到達。

Outlying Islands

Lamma Island

离岛-南丫 岛

Idyllic villages, tucked-away beaches, hiking paths crisscrossing the island, and fabulous seafood, not to mention scenic views all round – just a few of the reasons that Hong Kong’s third-largest island is also our favourite outlying island – and it’s just a 30-minute ferry ride from Central. 田園詩般的鄉村，驚起海灘，徒步路徑間穿梭島，和令人難以置信的海鮮， 更不用說四周風景的看法——的幾個原因，香港第三大島嶼也是我們最喜歡 的偏遠島嶼，中環乘渡輪只需30分鐘即可到達。

Runner-up 第二选项 Tap Mun: It is as far from the heart of the city as you can get, both physically and psychologically. This remote island with sleepy villages and fields of roaming cows harkens back to a bygone pastoral era.

塔門： 無論從生理上還是心理上，它都是離市中心最遠的地方。這個偏遠的 島嶼上有恬靜的村莊和四周漫遊的牛群，讓人想起過去的田園時代。

On a clear day, the views from the hilltop perch of Devil’s Peak, above Yau Tong, are simply spectacular – a mesmerising vista of Kowloon, Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island to the west and Lei Yue Mun, Tseung Kwan O and Clearwater Bay eastward. And you can visit the ruins of Gough Battery, a war relic, as a bonus. 在晴朗的日子裡，從油塘上方的魔鬼山山頂上看去，景色非常壯觀—— 西邊是九龍、維多利亞港和香港島，東邊是鯉魚門、將軍澳和清水灣， 令人心醉。你還可以參觀戰爭遺蹟歌賦砲台的廢墟，作為獎勵。

Runner-up 第二选项 The Peak: The city’s top tourist spot may be well-trodden and can get crowded, but the views it offers of the city are unmissable. Be sure to walk the Peak Circle to take in the full panorama.

An oasis in the heart of the city, Hong Kong Park offers quiet respite, a playground for kids, a quaint tea ware museum, an aviary, and a generous variety of spaces in which to stroll and relax. 香港公園是城市中的綠洲提供安靜的休息區，兒童遊樂場，以及古雅的茶具 博物館，鳥舍等，供遊客散步和放鬆。

Runner-up 第二选项 Jordan Valley Park: Expansive and nicely landscaped lawns, jogging tracks and a model-car race circuit highlight this picturesque park hidden in the looming shadow of Kowloon Peak.

佐敦谷公园： 在九龍山下，佐丹谷公園以廣闊而優美的草坪、慢跑跑道和汽 車模型賽車場而聞名。

Colonial Architecture Buildings

Tai Kwan

殖民风格建 筑-大馆

It took mega-bucks, but the Hong Kong Jockey Club did a superb job of preserving and redeveloping the former Central Police Station and Victoria Prison into the city’s latest trendy gathering piece and cultural hub. The fine examples of colonial architecture alone justify a visit. 香港賽馬會斥巨資重建了前中區警署和域維多利亞監獄，使之成為香港最新 的時尚聚集地同文化中心。僅是殖民時期建築的精美範例就值得一遊。

Runner-up 第二选项 Murray House: This stately building in Stanley was rebuilt brick by brick after it was dismantled from its location in Central. Now a prominent part of the Stanley promenade and a popular destination, you can roam freely inside and outside the building with gusto.

美利樓： 位於赤柱的宏偉建築，在中環被拆除後搬到赤柱一磚一瓦的重建。 現在是赤柱步道的重要部分，而且很受歡迎，您可以在大樓內和大樓外自由 漫步。

Dim Sum

当地美食- 点心

Again, we are spoilt for choice. But in the end, dim sum wins out as our favourite local food – it is both a culinary and communal experience of enjoying a variety of delicious dishes with friends or family – quintessentially Hong Kong. 這個絕對是毋庸置疑的，在挑選過程中我們很糾結，但最後勝出的一定是點 心——這種本地特色既是美食，也是與朋友或家人一起享用各種美味佳餚的 公共體驗——這是傳統的香港風味 。

Runner-up 第二选项 Beef Brisket Noodles: It is this or char siu fan (rice with roast pork), and the noodle wins out because a soupy, slurpy bowl of noodles eaten with tender beef brisket is a big-time comfort food for all hours.

牛腩面： 在叉燒飯和麵條中，麵條勝出，因為一碗湯汁四溢的麵條和鮮嫩的 牛腩一起吃，是最大的安慰。

Local Neighbourhoods

Sheung Wan 当地邻里- 上环

The transformation from old, local neighbourhood to a hip enclave of expatriates mixed in with lifelong residents in just a decade or so has been remarkable. Trendy coffee cafes, bistros and bars mix in with local eats along the some of the city’s oldest streets; the diverse demographics have brought the neighbourhood to life. 在短短十年左右的時間裡，上環由古舊的本地居民區轉變為外籍人士與居民混 合嘅摩登地，這一轉變令人矚目。 時尚的咖啡廳、小酒館和酒吧與城市中一些 最古老的街道上的當地美食融為一體； 多樣化的人口結構使該社區充滿生機。

Discovery Bay: Another expat enclave, on Lantau Island, that offers a contrasting and more relaxed style of living – low-density townhouses and apartment buildings, a relaxing beach, emerald surroundings, an unhurried pace of life make this an all-round great place to visit.

New Town

Sha Tin

新市镇-香 港沙田

Hong Kong’s most populous new town is a city unto itself, as all the amenities are there – shopping malls, hotels, universities, offices, cultural and heritage sites, and the starting point to engage in a whole slew of outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking and even kayaking. 人口最多的新市鎮，自給自足，設施齊全：購物中心、酒店、大學、辦公室、 文化和遺產，和豐富多樣的戶外活動， 如踩單車，徒步旅行，還有划獨木舟。

Runner-up 第二选项 Tung Chung: The city’s newest satellite town has come a long way in a short time. Now a thriving mini-city, it enjoys a symbiotic relationship with nearby Hong Kong International Airport – just a superb place to enjoy a slower pace of life while still loaded with urban convenience.

東涌： 該市最新的衛星城在短時間內取得長足的發展。現在是一座繁榮的迷你 城市，與附近的香港國際機場共同發展——這是一個享受慢節奏生活的絕佳去 處，同時仍擁有城市便利。

Enchanting Dining at Flint

迷人的餐廳——Flint

JW Marriott’s Flint Bar & Grill is the setting for an enchanting meal in our culinary quest this month.

JW 萬豪酒店的 Flint Bar & Grill 是我們本月美食探索的重點，也是令人陶醉和享受的一頓晚餐。

H

jwmarriotthongkong.com

ong Kong’s upscale hotels are notable for the relatively large number of dining outlets available for guests and residents. The city’s urban density and diverse food culture allow these hotels to present an array of dining choices unlike other countries. That is certainly the case with the JW Marriott Hong Kong at Pacific Place – a bustling office, hotel and retail complex, which operates seven restaurants and bars offering a variety of dining and beverage options. Flint, located on Level 5, is a grill and bar outlet and the hotel’s de facto steakhouse. The restaurant offers set lunches and dinners featuring American and international cuisines, and is our destination this month.

The restaurant décor is contemporary, sleek and spacious. Its elegant setting deftly supports a comfortable yet vibrant ambience to share a delightful meal with friends or loved ones.

We were there to try out one of Flint’s latest seasonal menus on offer. The 4-course Set Dinner Menu is set to run until mid-summer, with prices dependent on the main course chosen.

For our appetiser, we opted for Warm Lobster Salad Half–Boston Lobster, Garlic Butter, Kohlrabi Salad, Seared Duck Foie Gras-Rhubarb, Confit Duck Meat, Brioche Toast and Caesar’s Salad-Baby Gems, Aged Parmesan, White Anchovies, Grated Cured Egg Yolk to share among us. They are all excellent.

We especially enjoy the succulent lobster meat with the salad and the foie gras–duck meat combination.

The second course is a choice of Cream of Mushroom or Lobster Bisque – both classic soups are yummy and savoury. For mains, there is a good selection available. We chose USDA Nebraska Ribeye 10oz, Grilled Asparagus, Semi-dried Tomatoes, Flint’s Steak Sauce ($800); Boston Lobster (Steamed

or Grilled), Choron Sauce, U.S. Asparagus ($900); and Roasted Iberico Pork Rack, Confit Garlic Mashed Potato, Parsnip, Carrot, Miso Ginger Glaze ($700). The rib-eye steak was grilled just right, the corn-fed Nebraskan beef is tender, juicy, and flavourful – it’s a winner. The Iberico pork is also excellent, really quite tender and succulent. Same goes for the lobster – good choices all around.

Other dishes available include Catch of the Day, Fregola Pasta, Clams, Spinach, Cherry Tomatoes ($700), Braised N.Z. Lamb Shank, Polenta Cake, Broccolini, Gremolata ($700), and for couples, an inviting Stockyard Premium Australian Black Angus Beef Tomahawk, Fried Chips, English Asparagus, Fricassee of Wild Mushrooms, Summer Truffle Jus ($1,900 for 2 persons).

We then embraced all three of the offered desserts: Soba Chocolate Cake: Chocolate Biscuit, Chocolate Cremeux and Soba Chocolate Mousse; Baba Fraises: Baba Citron, Compote Fraises, Citron Cremeux and Vanilla Chantilly, and Fruits & Berries: Seasonal Fruits, Lemon Sorbet.

Flint offers a wide and quality selection of specialty cocktails and wines, with a special nod to California. Our libations of choice included a lovely Chardonnay, a Chateau Ste Michelle, from Washington state, USA (HK$120 per glass), and a fruity Shiraz from Leeuwin Estate Siblings, in the Margaret River region of Western Australia (HK$160 per glass).

It was a real treat to be able to enjoy a lovely meal after the Covid restrictions on restaurants were relaxed.

And we could not have chosen a better venue for our return to evening dining. If you are in the mood for a quality, relaxing western meal with colleagues, friends or shopping companions, Flint is a good choice – give it a try.■

與 其他地區的同類酒店相比，香港高檔酒店的明顯特點是為客人提供了 大量的餐飲店，這個城市的高密度和多樣化的飲食文化為這些酒店提

供了建餐飲店的機會。位於太古廣場的香港 JW 萬豪酒店也是如此，這裡是繁 華的辦公區、酒店和零售綜合體之一。 JW 經營著7家餐廳和酒吧，提供各種餐 飲選擇。位於酒店 L5 層的 Flint，供應烤製美食，既是酒吧，事實上也是牛排 館。該餐廳提供午餐和晚餐，以美國和國際美食為主，是我們本月的美食目的 地。 餐廳的裝潢是現代、時尚、寬敞的。優雅而舒適的座位營造了輕鬆且充滿 活力的氛圍，可以與朋友或親人在此聚餐。 我們嘗試了 Flint 最新推出的季節性菜單之一，四道菜的晚餐套餐將持續到 2022年8月。晚餐的價格是根據所選擇的主菜而定的。

開胃菜我們選擇了龍蝦沙律-半只波士頓龍蝦、大蒜黃油；芥蘭頭沙律、香 煎法囤鴨肝-大黃、油浸鴨肉．牛油多士；還有，凱撒沙律，嫩生菜芯，巴馬臣 芝士、銀題魚、蛋黃碎，都很美味。我們特別喜歡多汁的龍蝦肉配沙拉和鵝肝 配鴨肉的組合。 第二道菜是選擇奶油蘑菇或龍蝦濃湯——這兩道經典的湯，美味可口。主 菜我們選擇了美國內布拉斯加肉眼牛扒-10安士，烤蔗笱丶風乾番茄．秘製醬汁 （$800），波士頓龍蝦（$900）搭配修隆醬，美國蘆筍，以及香烤西班牙頂級 黑豚扒（$700）加上油浸蒜蓉薯蓉、歐洲葡萄丶甘筍．面豉薑汁。肉眼牛排被 烤得恰到好處，內布拉斯加牛肉鮮嫩多汁，味道鮮美--絕對推薦。黑豚肉口感同 樣很好，真的相當嫩，肉質鮮美。龍蝦也是如此--都是不錯的選擇。 其他菜品包括：是日精選鮮魚（$700）配珍珠意大利麵、蛤蜊、菠菜、櫻 桃番茄；燴新西蘭羊腿（$700）玉米餅，西蘭花苗、香草醬，以及為情侶準備 的誘人澳洲安格斯斧頭扒（$1900/2人份）炸薯條、烤英國蘆筍，野生蘑菇，黑 松露汁。 甜品方面推薦三樣：蕎麥巧克力蛋糕配巧克力餅乾，巧克力忌廉，蕎麥巧 克力慕斯，Baba 法式士多啤梨配 baba 檸檬、士多啤梨果醬、檸檬忌廉、雲尼 拿忌廉；和鮮果及野莓，時令鮮果、檸檬雪糕。

Flint 提供廣泛而優質的特色雞尾酒和葡萄酒，特別是來自加利福尼亞 州（加州）的葡萄酒。我們選擇的酒包括來自美國華盛頓州的 Chateau Ste Michelle 白酒（每杯 $120 ）和來自西澳大利亞瑪格麗特河地區 Leeuwin Estate Siblings 紅酒（每杯$160）。 在放鬆用餐限制後，盡情地品嚐美味的食物是一種享受。應該不可能找到 更好的場所來享用晚餐。如果你有心情和你的同事、朋友或購物同伴一起吃一 頓高質量、輕鬆的西餐，Flint 是一個不錯的選擇——試試吧。■ MAY/JUNE 2022

S

ince it opened in late 2019, Mizutani, a contemporary Japanese restaurant and bar located on the top floor of Alva by Royal in Sha Tin, has quickly become a favourite upscale destination for Japanese foodies in the area. Despite disruptions to its operation under the Covid pandemic, the restaurant has managed to attract and build a steady clientele. When an opportunity arose to try out Mizutani’s latest tasting menu following the relaxation of Covid dining restrictions, we were delighted to visit again.

Mizutani enjoys a commanding view of Shatin, the Shing Mun River and the mountains of Ma On Shan Country Park. Its décor is understated sophistication, and its ambience is airy and bright, aided by full-height windows and expansive views. The space is divided smartly to create clusters for the sushi bar, the robata grill counter, main dining room and a rooftop bar, all complemented by a large outdoor terrace that is perfect for drinks and gatherings.

Mizutani’s specialties are Sushi and Robatayaki. Its team of Japanese chefs, helmed by veteran Executive Chef Ishiyama Manatsu, aim to serve authentic Japanese cuisine with contemporary flair, using the freshest ingredients flown in from Japan. As the name suggests – Mizutani Uni Dinner Omakase Set – the highly prized uni (sea urchin) from Hokkaido is the highlight of our tasting menu – and what a mouthwatering prospect!

Our meal started with Yuba Bean Curd Skin and Softboiled Onsen Egg with Sea Urchin, a velvety concoction that goes well with the creamy, umami uni. Four sashimi selections were next: Medium Fatty Tuna, Yellowtail, Sea Urchin, and Striped Jack. Each piece was fresh, tender, and buttery tasty – attesting to the quality of the fish chosen by the chef – it was heavenly.

26

www.hkcitylife.com | MAY/JUNE 2022

Grilled Lobster with Sea Urchin is another treat for the palate – the whole lobster is halved and coated with the chef’s special sauce and grilled until it’s crispy and scorched and then topped with the uni, offering a delightful contrast of flavours between the tender lobster meat and the uni.

To give our tastebuds a break from all the rich seafood flavours, Seasonal Tempura of various fresh vegetables was next, which suited us just fine. The next dish definitely grabbed our attention – Wagyu and Sea Urchin Clay Pot Rice - the uni flavour and the savoury tender beef are perfectly matched, and the aroma of the flagrant rice makes this dish all but irresistible.

We capped the meal with an appetising Wagyu Beef Soumen and a cool dessert – Raindrop Cake with Black Syrup and Soybean Flour. Mission accomplished and we were fully sated. We should mention to check out Mizutani’s collection of sakes, including its own private brand, which we ordered and imbibed with pleasure.

The Uni Omakase Dinner Set is priced at $6980 for four persons, reasonable for such a sumptuous meal.

Extra guests are charged $1,680 per person. It also offers an Intimate Moment with Uni Omakase menu for two at $3,380 which offers similar uni-themed dishes.

Our outing to Mizutani was most delightful and rewarding – superb food, attentive service, and excellent ambience. The sweet, creamy uni flavour lingers!

Whether you want to enjoy a splendid dining experience for a special occasion or gathering, Mizutani is worth a visit, we highly recommend it.■

CY

Covid 大流行導致運營時好時壞，但該餐廳一直也能吸引和建立穩定的客戶 CMY 群。當有機會嘗試源峰的最新品嚐菜單時，我們很高興。

源峰坐擁沙田、城門河和馬鞍山郊野公園的壯麗景色。裝飾低調且精 K 緻，全玻璃窗帶來廣闊視野，整個氛圍是通風且明亮。空間被巧妙地分割開 來，形成了壽司吧台、爐端燒烤台、主餐廳和屋頂酒吧的集群，所有這些都 與大型戶外露台相得益彰，是飲品和聚會的理想場所。 源峰的特色菜是壽司和爐端燒。由資深行政總廚石山真夏領導的日本廚 師團隊，旨在提供具有現代風格的正宗日本料理，使用從日本空運來的最新 鮮的食材。顧名思義，源峰廚師發辦海膽饗宴——提供來自北海道的高度珍 貴的海膽，也是菜單的亮點，讓人垂涎欲滴。 我們的飯菜以鮮腐皮溫泉蛋伴海膽開始，天鵝絨般的混合物，與奶油味的 海膽相得益彰。接下來是四種刺身，中吞拿魚腩、油甘魚、海膽刺身和縞鯵薄 切。每一塊都很新鮮，很嫩——證明了廚師所選擇的魚的質量——簡直就是 日料愛號者的天堂。 伊勢龍蝦海膽燒是味覺享受——整隻龍蝦被切成兩半，塗上廚師特製的醬 汁，烤至焦脆，再淋上海膽，鮮嫩的龍蝦肉和海膽之間形成了令人愉悅的味 道對比。 為了讓我們的味蕾從豐富的海鮮味道中暫時得到休息，接下來是各種新 鮮蔬菜的時令天婦羅，我們很喜歡。下一道菜絕對吸引了我們的注意力—— 和牛海胆釜飯，海膽的味道和鹹鮮的嫩牛肉完美搭配，米飯的香味融入其中， 讓人無法抗拒。最後以令人胃口大開的和牛素麵和清涼的甜點——水信玄餅來 結束這頓飯。我們非常滿足了，值得一提的是，源峰的清酒系列，包括它自 己的私人品牌，都很爽口。 源峰晚市海膽廚師發辦推介的價格是四人 $6,980，對於如此豐盛的晚餐 來說，價格合理。搭配其他的話，要收取每位 $1,680 的費用。餐廳還提供兩 人的鮮味海膽共聚晚宴，價格為 $3,380，提供海膽主題的菜餚。 到訪源峰是令人愉快的——一流的食物、周到的服務和出色的氛圍。甜 美的、奶油般的海膽味道揮之不去。無論你想在特殊場合或聚會中享受精彩 的餐飲體驗，源峰都值得一遊，我們強烈推薦。■

Papagayo ($$)

Playa de Papagayo is a Spanish restaurant and bar adjacent to the K11 shopping mall at Hillwood Rosd, serving hearty comfort food at reasonable prices.

It is also an excellent watering hole for those looking for tasty dishes and soothing drinks, in a relaxing and fun atmosphere – and a favourite of ours as well.

Located at street level facing the shopping mall, the restaurant’s open frontage is welcoming – a cosy open dining space with comfortable seating awaits. Papagayo packs an extensive food and drinks menu featuring largely popular Spanish tapas, mains and drinks.

Our meal started with drinks, which include non-alcoholic mocktails. We chose PPQ ($58), a mocktail made with peach, passion fruit, lemon juice and soda, which is refreshing. The sangria is a must-have item, of course. We chose Regular Sangria ($68/glass or $248/jar) with red wines, orange juice and lemonade), which hit the spot. Bourbon Lemon Drop ($68) is made with Bourbon whiskey, mint, lemon juice and sugar and rounded off our drinks.

Papagayo offers an attractive Happy Hour for drinks.

We then set about a slew of yummy dishes. For tapas, as lovers of cured meats, Papagayo Assorted Sausage Platter (16-month Serrano Ham, Chotizo, Salamelle) ($158) was delicious as ever. Shrimp in Garlic & Olive Oil ($88) is also zesty and tasty, a nice treat.

Papagayo offers an extensive menu of pasta, grilled and main dishes. We chose the Linguini with Bay Lobster in Lobster Sauce ($198), which you can also choose in risotto. The tender lobster meat and the infused lobster flavour in the linguini keep the tastebuds tingling.

Another must item is the Seafood Paella ($288; for sharing), with an option of the rice in ink sauce. The ultimate comfort food, we never tire of this dish, especially when hungry, and we managed to devour the whole pan of yummy rice.

Another appetising plate is Roasted Suckling Pig Cut with Homemade Sauerkraut & Smashed Potato ($88 or 198 for 1 or 4 pieces respectively). The crispy suckling pig is delicious; the sauerkraut provides a refreshing balance to the palate.

We rounded off our hearty meal with Papagayo’s popular desserts: Honey Tuile with Blueberry Gelato ($65) and Churros with Chocolate Paste ($78), which scored full marks.

Papagayo is comfort food defined. It’s the ideal venue for a relaxing, fun meal and drinks with friends for any occasion. We highly recommend it.

HISTORY MATTERS

香江史料

IDENTIFYING IRISH INFLUENCES 辨識愛爾蘭的影響

While Hong Kong’s early Scottish associations are widely known, the territory's formative years were governed by the Irish for 26 turbulent years, writes Arthur Hacker. 早期的蘇格蘭組織在香港很有名，但原來，這片殖民地 早期有26個風雨飄搖的年頭，是由愛爾蘭人來統治的。 亞瑟·克赫撰

1

E

very red-blooded Irishman gets palpitations at the exaggerated claims that Hong Kong was once effectively a Scottish colony, founded and run by the Scots. The reality is that denizens of the Emerald Isle played a seminal role in the birth and early days of the outpost.

It is true that Scottish traders like William Jardine, James Matheson and James Innes, the Laird of Dunkinty, started the Opium War following which Hong Kong was ceded to the British – but it was the Irish who did most of the fighting.

Captain Charles Elliot (another Scot) first took possession of Hong Kong but it was left to two great Irishmen, the first governor of Hong Kong, Sir Henry Pottinger, and military globetrotter Major General Sir Hugh Gough to clean up the mess.

When Pottinger stepped ashore to sign the Treaty of Nanking, the band played St Patrick's Day, not Scotland for Ever, and it was the 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment who acted as his guard of honour. They had borne the brunt of the fighting, with a little help from the Indian Army and four dozen gunboats.

34

www.hkcitylife.com | MAY/JUNE 2022

Sir Henry Pottinger was a man of action.

Before he was 21, he had set off on a spying mission through Baluchistan, Afghanistan and Persia disguised as a Tartar horse dealer. At one stage he pretended to be a holy man and got trapped in religious debate. To convince a Baluchi village elder that you are a venerable Tartar Hadji when you speak with a thick Belfast accent requires a measure of self-confidence and more than a little blarney.

Another great Irishman, Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, ruled Hong Kong 'with wholesome terror' as his last posting in a string of senior administrative roles across the British Empire.

The historian Ernst Eitel, who knew him well, quoted Shakespeare to comment on the departure of this dreaded autocrat: “Here goes a Caesar! When comes such another?”

The now thoroughly cowed citizens of Hong Kong welcomed, with immense relief, the fourth Irish governor of Hong Kong, the kindly old Sir Arthur Kennedy. Sir Arthur’s style of governing was to do as little as possible and to be nice to everybody. He thus established the popular, don’t rock the boat' policy, which remained the cornerstone of Hong Kong’s political philosophy

每 一個情緒高漲的愛爾蘭人，都會對於 所謂「香港曾經是蘇格蘭殖民地，由

蘇格蘭人奠基及統治」的誇張說法感到惱恨。 適逢本月 17 日是聖帕特里克節 , 正好是時候給 愛爾蘭人還一個公道了。

事實上，雖然是由蘇格蘭商人例如 W i I l i a m J a rd i n e 、 J a m e s M a t h e s o n 和 James Innes 、 the Laird of Dunkinty 等發 動鴉片戰爭，導致香港割讓給英國，但大部份 去打仗的，是愛爾蘭人。

Charles EIIiot 隊長（另一個蘇格蘭人） 是第一個拿下香港的人，然後交給兩個愛爾蘭 人，第一任香港港督亨利體甸乍爵士和少將 Hugh Gough 爵士去收拾爛攤子。 當體甸乍上岸簽署南京條約時，樂隊奏的 是《 St. Patrick ’ s Day 》（聖帕特里克節）而 不是《 Scotland Forever 》，而且由「第 18 皇 家愛爾蘭軍團」作為榮譽護衛隊。他們忍受了 打仗的壓力，所獲得的協助，只有一些印度軍 隊和 48 艘砲艇。 缽甸乍爵士是個行動型的人。他在 21 歲時 曾擔任間諜，假扮韃靼商人去布魯吉斯坦、阿 富汗和波斯執行任務。他也曾假扮傳教士，並 加入了一場宗教辯論。當你有著濃厚的貝爾法 斯特口音時，卻要說服 Baluchi 村莊的長老相 信是一個德高望重的韃靼朝聖者，就必須擁有 一定的自信心及一些哄騙的技巧。

until the arrival of Chris Patten, the colony’s last governor. Kennedy was the first governor to have had a statue erected in his honour.

However, Kennedy was the lull before the storm. ln 1877, Sir John Pope Hennessy arrived in town. He was an unpredictable maverick who quarrelled with anybody and everybody. The army commander General Donovan, yet another Irishman, so loathed the governor that he refused to provide a military band to play at Government House on the Queen's birthday.

It took all the experience and skill of the seventh Irish governor, Sir George Bowen to restore harmony. Happily, Bowen was soon able to report to the prime minister, Lord Derby, that all was well.

He added smugly that: "The ordinary work of a civil governor of Hong Kong... is not materially different from the ordinary work of the Mayor of Portsmouth." When Bowen retired in 1885, Hong Kong had been governed by the Irish for 26 consecutive turbulent years.

It was during this time that Hong Kong came of age.

While, it could be said, the Scots and the English were busy making money for themselves, it was the Irish civil servants who built the infrastructure that made modern Hong Kong possible. The next Irish governor was Sir Henry Blake, who took control of the New Territories. Unfortunately he blemished his reputation when he looted the gates of Kam Tin, to decorate his stately home in Ireland. The Hong Kong flower, Bauhinia Blakeana, a sterile hybrid, is named after this Irish vandal. In a final irony, the flower that bears his name was incorporated into the flag of the new Hong Kong Special Administrative Region under China and can be seen flying outside Government headquarters at Tamar today.■

另一個愛爾蘭人，李察麥當奴爵士，則以「有建設性的恐怖」方式來 管治香港。歷史家 Eitel 對他認識很深，在他的離去時曾用沙士比亞名句 去評論這位可怕的獨裁者：「這個凱撒大帝！正是後無來者。」 已被充分嚇倒的香港市民，這時以籲一口氣的心情歡迎第四任香港港 督，仁慈的雅瑟堅尼地爵士。雅瑟堅尼地爵士的管治風格是做事越少越 好，而且對所有人都很仁慈。他建立了「不要畫蛇添足」的政策，成為香 港政治哲學的奠基石，直至最後一任港督彭定康為止。堅尼地是第一個有 銅像豎立起來紀念他的港督。 堅尼地時代是風暴前的寂靜。在 1877 年，約翰軒尼詩爵士到來。他 是一個喜怒無常、特立獨行的人，跟所有人都可以吵起架來。另一個愛爾 蘭人軍隊司令 Donavan 上將，他對港督憎惡的程度，甚至到了拒絕在女 皇生日當天，提供軍樂隊在港督府表演。這情況一直到第七任愛爾蘭港督 佐治寶雲爵士上台，用上了他所有的經驗和技巧，才能恢復和諧。寶雲爵 士上任不久，就向當時的首相 Derby 爵士匯報「一切安好」，他甚至沾 沾自喜的加一句 : 「一個香港港督的日常工作與一個樸次茅斯市長的日常 工作實際上沒有兩樣。」當寶雲在 1885 年退休時，香港已經被愛爾蘭人 管治了 26 個動盪歲月，並在這些歲月中茁壯成長。 正當蘇格蘭人和英國人忙於賺錢之際，愛爾蘭公僕所建立的管治基 礎，使香港步向成功。另一個愛爾蘭港督是卜奇爵士，他成功取得了新界 地區的控制權。但不幸，他因為掠奪了錦田大閘充當他在愛爾蘭家裡的裝 飾品，而聲名受損。香港的市花洋紫荊，一種雜交的品種，就是跟據這個 破壞別人財產的人而命名的。諷刺地，這種有着他名字的花被用作特區政 府的新區旗上，如今依舊在金鐘添美的政府總部外迎風飄揚。■

Censers were popular in the Han dynasty. This goose-shaped censer is life-like. The back of the goose body is latticed, allowing smoke to rise from it.

CityLife 20th Anniversary Edition

A Review of Hong Kong’s Hotel Industry 東方之珠20週年紀念版--香港酒店業的回顧

Peter Wong, Chairman of the Hong Kong Hotels Association, shares his thoughts on changes to the Hong Kong hotel sector over the past 20 years and its prospects and challenges going forward.

Peter C F Wong 黃澤峰

香港酒店業協會主席 Peter Wong 分享了他對香港酒店業 在過去20年的變化以及未來的前景和挑戰的看法。

Chairman, Hong Kong Hotels Association 香港酒店業協會主席

Hong Kong’s hotel industry 20 year-snapshot.

So much has happened to Hong Kong’s hotel industry during the last 20 years, a period marked by rapid expansion, periodic economic setbacks, and of course, the latest impact from the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic on the tourism sector.

In 2001, Hong Kong had around 100 hotels operating over 40,000 rooms; total visitor arrivals were 13.7 million, with around 9.6 million overnight visitors.

Then in 2003, the outbreak of the SARS virus – a seismic new experience for everyone – had an unprecedented impact on the hotel industry with single-digit occupancy rates and empty restaurants.

The Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) was introduced in July 2003 as part of the tourism liberation measure under the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement. It was first implemented in four Guangdong cities and expanded to 49 cities over the following four years. The burgeoning China market continued to benefit Hong Kong, peaking in 2018 with total arrivals of 65 million, of whom 51 million were from China (20 million overnight stays). The hotel industry more than doubled its capacity to meet the rapid increase, with 310 hotels operating over 88,000 rooms by 2021.

To meet this demand, the city’s Town Planning Board approved land-use changes that allowed the conversion of office, residential and industrial buildings into hotels. This triggered many more property developers to enter the hotel market, especially developing on smaller sites with fewer than 100 rooms per hotel.

The city’s hotel sector has weathered multiple economic setbacks – the 2008 financial crisis, the 2009 swine flu pandemic, the ‘Occupy’ movement in 2014, social unrest in 2019, and most severely, the current pandemic which has posed an existential threat to the industry’s health.

Looking back, Hong Kong’s hotel industry has had a good run. Our challenge now is clearly how to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Impact of the Covid pandemic Despite many countries beginning to return to normal, global tourism recoveries remain slow and uneven and far below pre-pandemic levels. The Asia Pacific region is particularly behind, with travel in 2001 just 6 percent of that of 2019.

香港酒店業20年掠影 在過去的20年裡，香港的酒店業發生了很多事情，這段時期的特點是 快速擴張，週期性的經濟挫折，當然還有現時的新冠大流行對旅遊業 的影響。

2001年，香港大約有100家酒店，經營着4萬多間客房；到訪遊客總 數為1370萬，其中留宿遊客約960萬。 2003年，SARS病毒的爆發對每個人來說都是一種打擊——對酒店業產生了前所未有的影響，入 住率只有個位數，餐廳空無一人。 作為《內地與香港關於建立更緊密經貿關係的安排》旅遊措施的一部 分，"個人遊 "計劃（自由行）於2003年7月推出。首先在廣東四個城 市實施，並在隨後的四年裡擴大到49個城市。蓬勃發展的中國內地 市場使香港受益，在2018年達到頂峰，總入境人數為6500萬，其中 5100萬來自中國內地（2000萬次過夜）。酒店業的容量增加了一倍 多，為滿足快速增長的需求，到2021年有310家酒店經營超過88,000 間客房。 為了進一步滿足需求，該市城市規劃委員會批准了土地使用的改變， 允許將辦公、住宅和工業建築改建為酒店。這引發了更多的房地產開 發商進入酒店市場，特別是在每個酒店少於100個房間的小場地上進 行開發。 該市的酒店業經歷了多種經濟挫折——2008年金融危機、2009年豬 流感、2014年的 "佔中"運動、2019年的社會動盪，以及最嚴重的是 目前對行業構成生存威脅的大流行病。 回顧過去，香港的酒店業已經有了一個良好的發展。我們現在的挑戰 顯然是如何從新冠大流行中恢復。 新冠大流行的影響 儘管許多國家已經開始恢復正常，但全球旅遊業的恢復仍然緩慢而不 平衡，遠遠低於新冠大流行前的水平。亞太地區尤其落後，2021年的 旅遊人數僅相當於2019年的6%。 其經濟影響是毀滅性的。根據世界旅行和旅遊理事會（WTTC）的數 據，在新冠大流行把世界搞得天翻地覆之前，酒店和旅遊業估計佔全 球GDP的10%以上，佔全球每十個工作崗位中的一個。這場大流行改 變了這一切，毫無疑問，旅遊業和酒店業是受衝擊最大的行業之一。

The economic impact has been devastating. Before Covid-19 turned the world upside down, the hospitality and tourism industries were estimated to account for more than 10% of global GDP and one in ten jobs worldwide, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC). The pandemic changed all that, and not surprisingly, the tourism and hospitality sectors were among the hardest hit.

For Hong Kong, as a global city that thrives on free movement of people, the impact of restricted inbound travel has been cataclysmic.

For example, in 2021, the city welcomed 89,100 overnight visitors, less than 1% of the 2018 level. The hotel occupancy rate was 63% (bolstered primarily by the Designated Quarantined Hotel scheme (DQH), staycation and long-stay), but still 28 percentage points down from 2018 and with an average room rate of $860, a 40% plunge.

Prospect for recovery for Hong Kong Globally, better prospects for 2022 are anticipated by 61% of the UNWTO Panel of Experts. Most (64%) expect international arrivals to return to pre-pandemic levels in 2024. For Hong Kong, we do not envisage visitor arrivals to return to the record 65 million level in 2018 any time before 2024. The mainland China market (78% of total arrivals) has been our inbound tourism bread and butter since 2003.

Our very future depends on reopening the border with China, and the Greater Bay Area is our priority market.

Still, to lure visitors back, we will have to compete with all the other markets doing likewise. That means continuing to deploy measures and resources to ensure venue safety and peace of mind. This will reassure guests that their well-being and security is a priority, and that the hotel industry will maintain its vigilance in the fight against the coronavirus.

To help achieve that, the hotels will accelerate adoption of technologies such as online check-in, which during the pandemic has become customers’ preference; keyless room entry; automatic opening doors; robots and artificial intelligence to enhance touchfree operations; and more – technology-enhanced services are fast becoming the new normal.

Finally, Hong Kong’s high vaccine penetration rate supports the travelling public’s returning confidence in our government’s antipandemic measures. We look forward to Hong Kong’s soon becoming a Covid-free haven for tourists to visit.

And finally ..

The issue of manpower will affect the pace of our recovery. Even before the pandemic, hotels faced perennial problems of high staff turnover in various job categories, struggling to find and hire the right people for the right jobs. The staffing issue was further aggravated by the pandemic: some hotel employees have been made redundant, while others have departed the sector disillusioned. At the HKHA, we have engaged the master’s degree students at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s School of Hotel and Tourism Management to conduct a manpower survey. The objective is to identify the potential of developing Hong Kong as a training hub for the hotel industry within the Greater Bay Area – we are hopeful that this will offer a path forward.

對於香港來說，對於自由出入而繁榮的國際城市，限制入境旅行的影響是災難性 的。例如，在2021年，該市迎來了89,100名過夜遊客，不到2018年水平的1%。 酒店入住率為 63% （主要受到指定隔離酒店計劃（ DQH ）、留宿和長住的支 持），但仍比2018年下降28個百分點，平均房價為$860港元，暴跌40%。 香港的複蘇前景 在全球範圍內，61%的聯合國世界旅遊組織專家小組預計2022年的前景會更好。 大多數人（64%）預計國際遊客將在2024年恢復到大流行前的水平。就香港而 言，我們預計在2024年之前，遊客人數不會恢復到2018年創紀錄的6500萬水 平。自2003年以來，中國大陸市場（佔入境游客總數的78%）一直是這座城市入 境旅遊的支柱。未來取決於重新開放口岸，而大灣區是我們的優先市場。 然而，為了吸引遊客回來，我們必須與其他市場競爭。這意味着繼續部署措施和 資源以確保香港安全。這將使客人放心，他們的安全是最優先考慮，而且酒店業 將在抗擊冠狀病毒方面保持高度警惕。 為了幫助實現這一目標，酒店將加快採用各種技術，如網上辦理入住手續，在新 冠大流行期間，網上辦理入住手續已成為顧客的首選；無鑰匙進入房間；自動開 門；機器人和人工智能加強無接觸操作；以及更多技術增強的服務正迅速成為新 常態。 最後，香港的疫苗普及率很高，這支持了旅行者對我們政府的防疫措施恢復信 心。我們期待着香港很快就會成為一個沒有病毒的城市，供遊客參觀。 最後... 人力極大地影響了恢復的步伐。甚至在新冠大流行之前，酒店就面臨着各種工作 類別的高員工流失率的常年問題，努力尋找和僱用合適的人從事合適的工作。人 員問題因這次疫情而進一步惡化：一些酒店員工被裁，而另一些人則因失望而離 開了這個行業。在香港酒店業協會，我們已經聘請了香港理工大學酒店和旅遊管 理學院的碩士生來進一步調研，目的是確定香港作為大灣區酒店業培訓中心的發 展潛力——我們希望可以提高大家的信心。 同時，在調研進行中的這段時間，我們熱切地希望酒店業和整個香港能盡快恢復 正常。

Meanwhile, as we prepare, we fervently hope for returning to normal soon, for the hotel industry and for all Hong Kong.

PARTING THOUGHTS

思考之窗

CityLife Magazine 20 years and Counting – Sharing Our Passion for Hong Kong On our 20th anniversary, we indulge in a little nostalgic rumination.

C

ityLife is celebrating, and what started out 20 years ago as an investment has turned into a labour of love. The more memorable moments juxtapose trials and tribulations with the joy of cheerleading Hong Kong and all it has to offer.

The digital media revolution poses a sometimes existential challenge to our relevance, and external events have recently decimated Hong Kong’s tourism and hospitality sectors – the focus of our editorial coverage, and to which our fortunes are tied. Yet, we remain committed to telling the endlessly colourful story of Hong Kong.

From the outset, the magazine’s mission has been to promote the Hong Kong that we love by offering relevant, timely and interesting information on things for visitors to do in Hong Kong. But we soon found that to be truly useful, it should attract local readers, as they are also thirsty for eclectic and fun things to do in the city.

We believe we have upheld that mission, even as our editorial content evolved and our coverage sharpened.

Today, we continue to navigate the multifaceted changes that were happening to the city and in the development of the format.

The magazine was to be monthly and bilingual – English and Chinese, with the latter being Simplified Chinese, both in font and written style, in anticipation of the expected influx of Mainland visitors under the 2003 Mainland Individual Visitor Scheme. This approach proved sound.

Our initial editorial coverage was somewhat eclectic. Our first two years featured aspiring models on our cover, showcasing destinations and events highlight in that month’s issue. However, that eye-catching format became an unwelcome constraint, and regrettably we had to let it go.

Another popular feature was “My Hong Kong” – a breezy column that interviewed famous local celebrities, visitors and interesting personalities. Early interviewees included Chow Yun Fat, Stephen Chow, Nancy Kwan of The World of Suzy Wong fame, Michelle Yeoh, jockey Tony Cruz, legendary DJ Ray Cordeiro, cartoonist Ah Chung, singer Karen Mok, and all-time-great sprinter Michael Johnson. We still miss those cosy chats with interesting people each month.

Our layout evolved through trial and error. The challenge of presenting two languages in a magazine and making it

46

www.hkcitylife.com | MAY/JUNE 2022

attractive is formidable – it’s a devil’s bargain of trading off proportions of text, pictures and blank space. In the end we settled on a compromise – English side-by-side with the Chinese, and enough blank space to make it readable.

The format holds to this day, but it’s never perfect.

Some features and focuses have worthily supported the magazine’s goals throughout these twenty years. First is the city’s culture, history, and heritage. Our popular History Matters (originally ‘History Man’) column has been an anchor. Originally written by the late Arthur Hacker, each column chronicles a fascinating or eccentric part of the city’s colonial history. The column is augmented by coverage of heritage festivals and events, the museum listing, and feature articles on local developments.

Hong Kong’s great outdoors features frequently in our editorial coverage – we are immensely proud of the city’s amazing outdoor and geography and never tired of writing about it. To wit, 70% of the city being green, over 700 kilometres of coastline of varying geography, dozens of accessible beaches and outlying islands, rugged mountains, alluvial plains and wetlands, plus a rich variety of flora. We believe Hong Kong’s outdoors and natural habitat is still much under-rated, especially by visitors, who are invariably surprised and delighted to find that such a global city offers so much natural beauty and unpaved destinations.

Of course, the city’s urban built environment of skyscrapers, landmark buildings, crowded streets with thronging crowds, waterfront promenades and diverse,

colourful neighbourhoods is typically at the core of our content. There are few cities to rival the sheer vibrancy in cityscape that Hong Kong presents. It is the quintessence of this unique spot.

The vast and ever-changing local food culture is another pillar of CityLife’s coverage. With almost 15,000 restaurants, ranging from yummy local food to scores of Michelin-starred restaurants, to trendy eateries and bars covering most of the world’s popular cuisines, Hong Kong can justly be described as Asia’s culinary capital. Our Hot Tables and Dining News sections feature both venerable and new restaurants, offering a dizzying slate of cuisines and dining formats, augmented by our listings of restaurants and bars.

Details of contemporary events and attractions keep CityLife at the cutting edge of relevancy. Whether it is the Wine & Dine Festival, The Hong Kong Sevens – the world’s premier rugby sevens event, the Hong Kong Open (golf), Dragon Boat International Races, signature horse races, or the Hong Kong Cyclothon, Art Basel, or the latest trade fair, we know that our readers rely on our comprehensive coverage.

The same goes for showcasing the city’s leisure attractions, such as Ocean Park, Disneyland, Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car and Hong Kong Wetland Park introducing their newest offerings.

Over time, the magazine became more activity-based – focusing on providing information and telling vivid stories about what a great city Hong Kong is to live in and visit, but just as importantly, enticing readers and visitors with suggestions of concrete things to do to enrich their visit experience – something we will continue to deliver to our readers.

We realised early on the indispensable value of a street map to the intrepid visitor, and began offering free maps, which remain popular even in the age of online alternatives – a nicely folded readable street map is a boon to getting around – plus, the concierges love using them to help their guests. Today, CityLife Magazine and its street maps are available at over 300 locations, including most the city’s hotels, along with serviced apartments, luxury residential buildings, shopping malls, the airport, high-speed rail, and key destinations. Our map offerings include the bilingual street map, Simplified Chinese map, and tailor-made hotel maps in partnership with the city’s five-star hotels and others.

We owe a debt of gratitude to many people who have walked with CityLife on our journey so far. Firstly, our founding partnership with the Hong Kong Hotels Association, which has given us focus and additionally allowed us to share the perspectives of hotel general managers on Hong Kong and its hospitality industry. Another essential organisation from the get-go has been the Hong Kong Tourism Board, both as our distribution partner (Visitor Centres) and as a content and advertising partner – we

appreciate their continuing support.

We greatly value the support of our advertising sponsors and commercial partners. They include longstanding sponsors such as Ocean Park, the Hong Kong Jockey Club, West Kowloon Cultural District Authority, Ngong Ping 360, the Hong Kong Rugby Union (for CityLife’s annual rugby visitor’s guide), and numerous shopping malls and dining groups. Thanks to all for their invaluable support.

Our partnership with the Hong Kong Golden Keys Society has also been important, as we share the experiences of the Society’s concierge members in the My Hong Kong column. As the front-facing representative of the hotel, the concierge vitally shapes the experience of visitors; we appreciate their insights on what makes Hong Kong great.

We also thank everyone that has been involved in the magazine directly, from the early days onwards. Special thanks to publishers Helen Wong, Judy Yen and Nancy Tsang, along with our former editor Mark Graham, former designer Patrick Dunne and our current team: designer Manda Lam; Martin Turner, our indispensable sub-editor; and Clairy Fan, our Chinese writer.

The Covid pandemic has dealt a severe blow to Hong Kong’s tourism and hospitality sectors. Unfortunately, our magazine, which is almost totally dependent on these two industries, has not been spared the pain. But that early investment opportunity 20 years ago continues to channel our passion for Hong Kong, and all it represents. What drives us forward and keeps us publishing the magazine despite these difficult and challenging times is that we love and believe in Hong Kong, the place we call home and always a fantastic destination to visit, play and do business in.

As we haul ourselves out of the pandemic and begin the difficult task of recovery, more sceptics are jumping on the bandwagon prognosticating Hong Kong’s downfall, often looking at the political changes that have happened to Hong Kong following the 2019 protesters. But Hong Kong has seen its share of sceptics over the years, and always proven them wrong. We believe that if the Special Administrative Region stands by the core values and characteristics by which it has weathered past storms – its foundational One Country, Two Systems principle; its essential international character; a vibrant demographic mix of locals, Mainland Chinese, expats and long-term residents from all over the world; its unique East-meet-West culture and colonial legacy; its rich food culture; and preservation of its great outdoors; then Hong Kong will remain a dynamic international city, an international finance centre, a key transport hub, a gateway city and hub for the Greater Bay Area, and a wonderful destination for visitors from all over the world.

Hong Kong has come a long way from being dismissed as “a barren rock with nary a house upon it”, and thanks to the resilient and diverse Hong Kong people with their never-say-die attitude, we will never be so foolhardy as to sell it short! ■
