ave you ever wondered where Hong Kong’s original shorelines lie? Discover how reclamation has led and represented the city’s development over the centuries, with fun and fascinating facts.

Filled to the Hilt Hong Kong’s Fascinating

Reclamation History

香港填海工程史

S

ince the earliest days of the British colony, geographically and economically, Hong Kong has been substantially built on land reclaimed from the sea. Compared with the city’s coastline two hundred years ago, when Hong Kong was still a collection of hamlets and fishing villages, today’s landform is almost unrecognisable.

Expanding territory into the sea has been a human endeavour for hundreds of years, undertaken by countries and cities around the world. The Dutch have extensively reclaimed low-lying areas since the 13th century. In Hong Kong, the infilling of nearby shallow waters has played a pivotal role on the city’s development. In all, more than 6.3%, or around 70 square kilometres, of the city’s total area of 1,106 square kilometres has been reclaimed. But this vital new land accounts for more than 27% of the city’s residential area and supports 70% of its commercial activity.

The city’s eagerness to make its own land was led by its natural geography.

Most of Hong Kong Kong’s original coastline was rugged and largely uninhabitable, with villages clinging to slivers of flat space between the mountains and the sea.

So when the area around you is mostly level, it is likely the work of man, not nature.

Take a walk with us back through time to explore how reclamation projects have shaped and transformed Hong Kong. By visualising the original geography, we can appreciate the city’s remarkable transformation from remote outpost to one of the world’s great cities.

毫

不誇張，無論從地理上還是從經濟上來 說，香港不少的地區都是在填海土地上建 造的。把現在和200年前（當時香港還是都是村莊和 漁村）的城市海岸線做比較，截然不同，幾乎認不出 來。 數百年來，全世界很多國家和地區一直在努力地 圍海造地。荷蘭人在13世紀開始在低窪地區進行大規 模的填海。填海造地在香港的發展歷史上發揮了巨大 作用。在全港1106平方公里的總面積中，有6.3%以 上（約70平方公里）是填海造地而來。但是開墾土地 27％以上是用於居住，其商業活動佔據70％以上。 考慮到香港的自然地理，大規模填海工程不足為 奇。香港原有海岸線大部分崎嶇不平，不適合居住發 展，村莊坐落在在山海之間面積狹小的平坦土地上。 如今，你在海岸邊所踩着的平地都是人類的傑作，而 不是來自於大自然。 讓我們回顧過去，探索香港較為著名的填海工 程，看看它是如何塑造香港的？你可以重新認識這座 城市，欣賞這座城市從偏遠地區轉變為世界偉大城市 之一的過程，感受這多麼非凡的成就。

Hong Kong Island

港岛

Practically all of Hong Kong Island’s northern shore, stretching from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, stands on land pulled out of Victoria Harbour, its development literally the foundation of the city’s growth over the years. Some notable projects include: 從堅尼地城到筲箕灣的整個港島北岸都是從填海造地而來； 這些年來，其發展成為這座城市的歷史中舉足輕重，重點項目包括：

Central Praya Reclamation Schemes 海旁填海计划 from 由 1850s 年代 to 至 1910s 年代 The first road the British built upon taking possession was Queen’s Road, along the shoreline between Sai Wan and Wanchai. The very first reclamation scheme was undertaken in 1851 after a large fire destroyed much of Sheung Wan below Queen’s Road, where the Chinese merchants operated. Using the residual debris plus other rubble, the waterfront line was pushed out from Jervois Street, between Wellington Street and Morrison Street, to a new Bonham Strand, a generous 50 feet wide. Shortly thereafter, the waterfront in adjacent Central was also extended northward, from Queen’s Road to what is now Des Voeux Road Central.

In phases over subsequent decades, the sea wall between Central and Sai Ying Pun shifted still further out into the waters of Victoria Harbour, with Connaught Road becoming the new waterfront. Many of today’s landmark buildings in the district, including the Court of Final Appeal building (formerly the Old Supreme Court), Prince’s Building and the Hong Kong Club, then looked out across the harbour. 英國人佔領香港後興建的第一條道路是沿西灣與灣仔之間的皇后大道。 第一次填海計劃是在1851年開始的，當時一場大火燒毀了皇后大道中 國商人經營的上環地區。政府以廢石及其他填充物為基礎，在蘇杭街、 惠靈頓街和皇后大道的交界處至蘇杭街與摩利臣街的交界處再往西鋪設 一條新路——這條50英尺寬的新道路就是文咸街。此後不久，中環的海 濱也從皇后大道向北延伸到現在的德輔道中。 在此後數十年間，海岸線在中環和西港島之間進一步延伸，由德輔道延 伸至乾諾道，成為新的海岸線。這座城市的許多標誌性建築，如現在的 高等法院（原最高法院、太子大廈、香港會等），都在新海濱一帶。

COVER STORY 封面故事

Wanchai / Causeway Bay 湾仔/铜锣湾 Simply put, much of where you travel in Wanchai and Causeway Bay is reclaimed. To trace the original shoreline, we begin hard up against the hillside, far inland. The first roads built were Queen’s Road East and part of Johnston Road, in front of the small rise where now stands the Ruttonjee Hospital. A jagged headland called East Point reached to where the World Trade Centre now stands, in Causeway Bay. Swampy wetlands formed the shores off today’s Happy Valley and Tai Hang, with a causeway built along the now Causeway Road to keep seawater from flooding the muddy inlet.

Various reclamation schemes from the late 1800s relentlessly extended the coastline, making Hennessy Road the new waterfront. Further works in the 1950s then laid claim out to the line of Gloucester Road, a stone’s throw from Kellett Island, location of the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club.

In the 1970s, the Wanchai North area was carved out, to be occupied by the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition, several large commercial complexes and key government buildings. The latest Central and Wanchai Reclamation project created the HKCEC Extension, Bauhinia Square and the infrastructure for the Sha Tin Link and Central-Wanchai Bypass tunnel.

For glimpses of the old shoreline, take a walk along Queen’s Road East – for instance, check out Hing Shing Temple and the old Wanchai Post Office. 一句話概括，灣仔和銅鑼灣的大部分地方都由填海建成。你可以通過觀察 山丘起點來追溯最初的海岸線。填海修建的第一條道路是皇后大道東和莊 士敦道的一部分，莊士敦道正對着小山坡上的律敦治醫院。銅鑼灣的東點 成鋸齒狀，現在是世界貿易中心所在地。現時的跑馬地和大坑道原是一片 沼澤濕地，而高士威道旁建有一條堤道，防止海水淹沒泥濘的海岸。早在 19世紀末，各種填海計劃開始不斷擴大土地面積。十九世紀後期進行的大 規模填海工程將軒尼詩路建成了海濱新區；隨後1950年代的填海工程將其 擴展到告士打道，距離香港遊艇會所在地的奇力島僅一步之遙。 1970年 代左右，香港又一次大規模的填海造就了灣仔北地區，也就是香港會展中 心，目前是幾個大型商業綜合體和政府大樓所在地。最新一期中環及灣仔 填海工程包括香港會展中心、紫荊廣場，以及沙田至中環線隧道的基礎設 施建設。

Kowloon

九龙

Old Kai Tak Airport / Kowloon Bay / Kwun Tong 旧启德机场/九龙湾/观塘 Back in the 1800s, the foothills of Lion Rock Mountain, Kowloon Peak (Fei Ngo Shan) and others comprised of villages built along the shallow shores and mangrove wetlands, with Kowloon Bay forming a natural shelter. Due to rapid growth of refuges from Qing Dynasty China in the early 20th century, plans were drawn to reclaim much of the shallow foreshore and wetlands to create a large residential area. In fits and starts the effort progressed over the decades until the British leased the land for an airfield, eventually expanding into a Royal Air Force Airbase at the now old Kai Tak Airport.

The wartime occupying Japanese administration expanded the airport and in the early 1950s, the Hong Kong Government built out a three-kilometre modern runway over the waters of Kowloon Bay and formed a large apron to create a full-fledged civilian airport. At the same time, land was formed from the waters off Kwun Tong to create an industrial area of godowns, shipyards and factories, with more residential areas above. Reclamation off Ngau Tau Kok came next, making way for the current Telford Garden areas south of the foothills.

Today, a new reclaimed harbourfront stretching from Kwun Tung to Kowloon Bay is lined with gleaming office buildings and a scenic boulevard. The old airport is well on the way to becoming a major destination, headlined by the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and a large sports complex being built. But the sleepy bay that once was there is unrecognisable.

早在十九世紀，獅子山、九龍山頂（飛鵝山）和其他山麓的海岸線， 就被開發為紅樹林濕和村落，九龍灣則是一個天然的庇護所。 20世紀 初清朝時期來自內地的難民快速增長，人們計劃開墾大部分淺灘和濕 地，創建新的大型居住區。這項工程經過了幾十年的努力，部分完成 後擱置，直到英國租用這裡作為機場，最終在現在的舊啟德機場興建 了皇家空軍基地。 日本佔領香港期間擴建了機場。 20世紀50年代初，香港政府在九龍灣 水域上修建了一條3公里長的現代化跑道和一個大型停機坪，打造出功 能齊全的民用機場。與此同時，填海工程開始在觀塘沿岸開墾土地， 並修建了倉庫、造船廠、工廠和住宅於一體的工業區。接下來是牛頭 角海域的填海工程，現時山麓以南的德福花園地區同樣是填海工程所 得。 時至今日，從觀塘至九龍灣的新海旁已填海興建起來，兩旁是閃閃發 光的辦公大樓和風景優美的林蔭大道。舊機場已經逐漸成為香港最新 的聚會場所，啟德郵輪碼頭和正在建造的大型體育館都足以吸人眼 球。但是曾經昏昏欲睡的海灣已不復存在。

West Kowloon Reclamation 西九龙填海区

Under the Airport Core Programme of the early 1990s, the West Kowloon Reclamation took out a 3.4-square-kilometre swathe of western Victoria Harbour off Jordan and Tai Kok Tsui. Today, the Western Harbour Tunnel runs through the area, which is also home to the Airport Express Station, the city’s largest mixed-used development, comprised of its tallest office building (ICC), hotels (Ritz Carlton and W Hotel), shopping mall (Elements), a transport exchange (Airport Express and MTR), and swanky high-rise residences. Once the vast West Kowloon Cultural District is completed, the area is set to become the city’s cultural hub. Already well worth visiting, the area includes a scenic promenade, the Xiqu Centre, the Art Park and Free Space.

西九龍填海工程是1990年代初期實施的機場核心計劃的一個組成部分，它 把維多利亞港西部——佐敦及大角咀一帶的水域填海。總共有超過3.4平方 公里的土地被填海，大部分已完成。如今，西區海底隧道貫穿西九龍，這 裡擁有機場快線車站，以及最大的混合用途開發項目，包括香港最高的辦 公樓——環球貿易廣場，麗思卡爾頓和 W 酒店，圓方購物中心，機場快 線和地鐵等交通樞紐，以及高端高層住宅建築。廣闊的西九龍文化區建成 後，這裡已經成為文化中心。此外這裡有很多值得遊覽的地方，包括風景 秀麗的長廊，戲曲中心，藝術公園和 Free Space。

New Territories – New Town Development 新 界 —— 新 市 镇 发 展

Sha Tin 沙田 With rapid population growth from the 1950s to the 1970s, consisting largely of arrivals from China and their burgeoning families, the government looked to the New Territories to create satellite towns. When the flat agricultural lands surrounding the villages proved difficult to acquire and consolidate, plans were made to reclaim coastal areas. First came Sha Tin, rising from swampy land beside the Shing Mun River and now home to more than 700,000 people – Hong Kong’s largest satellite town. The creation of other New Territories new towns including Tai Po, Tuen Mun and Ma On Shan also relied largely on reclaimed land. 為配合六十年代至九十年代人口的快速增長，政府在新界興建衛星 城。然而，鄉村周圍平坦的農地很難取得和鞏固，於是開始計劃在新界多 處填海興建新市鎮。第一個是沙田，城門河沿岸的沼澤地經填海開設為新 市鎮。今天的沙田是香港最大的衛星城，人口超過70萬。其他新市鎮包括 大埔、屯門和馬鞍山，這些新市鎮大部分是在填海土地上發展起來的。

Tseung Kwan O 将军澳 The most recent large satellite development is Tseung Kwan O, an ambitious reclamation project that took in over half of Junk Bay and subsumed shoreline villages including Hang Hau and Rennie’s Mill (Tiu Keng Leng), former home of refugee Kuomintang loyalists.

Most of the new town’s 10 square kilometres came from the bay and it now serves as the gateway to the beautiful Sai Kung District hills, scenic beaches and coastline. 將軍澳是最後一個大規模填海工程得來的大型衛星城。將軍澳 填海工程是一項規模巨大的工程，佛頭灣大部分區域被填。新城鎮 建起來後取代了沿岸散落村莊，包括坑口和調景嶺，這裡容納了大 量逃過來的國民黨擁護者。新市鎮總面積超過10平方公里，大部分 建在填海土地上。這裡是通往美麗西貢的門戶，香港最美海灘和海 岸線都在這裡。

Lantau

大屿山 Hong Kong International Airport / Tung Chung 香港国际机场/东涌 The crown jewel of Hong Kong’s illustrious reclamation projects is surely the 12-square-kilometre Hong Kong International Airport, along with the adjacent Tung Chung new town. The small island of Chek Lap Kok Island, off northwest Lantau island, was levelled and the sea bottom dredged and filled to make space for the new airport. A small hill of Chek Lap Kok was preserved as a sound barrier for the new town of Tung Chung – also reclaimed from the shores and mangrove wetlands of famously hilly Lantau.

In the past decade, more reclamation helped create the entry point for the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge, another engineering marvel in its own right. It is best viewed from the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car out of Tung Chung and up to the Big Buddha. Other attractions in the area include Sunset Peak and Lantau Peak and the fishing village of Tai O. 可以說香港國際機場項目及週邊的東湧新市鎮是香港填海工程中 最傑出的代表，這是個奇蹟。機場的一部分建在大嶼山西北海岸的赤 鱲島。整個島被改成平地，被海底沙子填滿，形成了12平方公里的新 機場。赤鱲角的一座小山被保留下來，作為新市鎮東湧的隔音屏障， 東湧新市鎮亦是從多山的大嶼山海濱及紅樹林濕地填海而來。 過去10年裡，香港進行了很多填海工程，而港珠澳大橋是另一個 工程奇蹟，為香港創建了新的入港口。推薦您參觀東湧及其周圍的自 然景點，比如昂坪 360、天壇大佛、大東山、大嶼山以及大澳漁村。

f the vibrant buzz of a major modern metropolis sets your pulse racing, you are going to love Hong Kong. This unique city is a writhing mass of humanity, its denizens always on the go.

While the city is widely known for its busy character – thronging crowds, bustling streets, jampacked transport interchanges, snarly traffic, and non-stop activity, the reality never fails to impress.

如 果您喜歡和人接觸，那香港太適合你了，這里 人頭攢動，人來人往。這個城市最主要的特徵

While other great urban centres – Tokyo, Shanghai, Delhi, Mexico City – have far more people and can even be more crowded, Hong Kong remains a special locus of perpetual motion and dynamism, setting the standard for ‘always on’.

一些城市人口呈現老齡化和增長放緩趨勢，就像東 京，上海，德里，墨西哥城等，越發擁擠。但是香 港卻永遠充滿活力，這個城市的定位就是忙碌。

What makes Hong Kong such a busy place? Primarily that Hong Kong is densely populated, especially in the urban areas: its 7.3 million people are crammed into less than 20% of the land area due to its hilly terrain. Second, people here really are driven, with work a constant priority, and time always short. Lastly, much social activity takes place outside the home – for instance, people just love going out – to eat, meet, shop and play.

是什麼使香港如此繁忙？主要原因是香港人口稠 密，尤其是城區。由於多山的地形， 730 萬人擠在 不到 20 ％的土地上。其次，這座城市的經濟體量 很大顯得很忙碌。簡而言之，人們都喜歡外出、吃 飯、購物、娛樂和工作！

So why not immerse yourselves in the fervour and follow us on a speedy journey through Hong Kong to experience its many busy aspects? Bring your camera and click away at the masses.

One thing is for sure, wherever you go, you’ll never walk alone!

所以， 帶上相機，跟隨我們一起感受香港的一面 吧。可以肯定的是，無論走到哪裡，你都不會獨行!

01 Pedestrian crossing 行人过路处

Yee Wo Street / Hennessey Road, Causeway Bay 銅鑼灣怡和街過路處軒尼詩道交界。 Possibly the busiest street crossing in Hong Kong and certainly its most photographed, this wide pedestrian intersection with the city’s main thoroughfare always throngs with shoppers, workers and locals. The giant LED screen mounted on the streetside face of Sogo department makes a stunning diversion while waiting for the green signal. 可以說，這是香港最繁忙的過境點，當然也是遊客留影拍照最多的地方。 每一天熙熙攘攘來這裡購物的人穿越這個路口，經過城市的主幹道。崇光 百貨巨大的 LED 屏幕，是您在等待紅綠燈時最好的消遣。

Connaught Road, Central, between Exchange Square and Worldwide House/Chater Building 中環幹諾道，交易廣場與環球大廈/遮打大廈的 交匯處。 Part of the extensive Central pedestrian footbridge system, all you need to know about this wide crossing is that a parallel footbridge had to be built next to the original just to accommodate its human tide. It also offers an excellent view of the busy vehicular traffic below. The busy footbridge above O’Brien Street connecting Wan Chai MTR station to North Wanchai gives it a good run for its money. 位於中環的心臟地帶，是龐大中央行人天橋系統的一部分，要知道這裡是在原有的行 人天橋旁邊，興建了一條平行的行人天橋，以容納來來往往的眾多人群。這裡也是絕 佳的拍攝視角，站在這裡拍攝下面繁忙的交通。行人天橋位於柯布連街，連接灣仔地 鐵站及告士打道的入境事務大樓，是全港最繁忙的天橋之一。

Cheung Chau 長洲 On a nice weekend, the ferries between Central and Cheung Chau, one of Hong Kong’s most popular and iconic outlying islands, can be jam-packed – and these are sizeable vessels!

Encounter thousands of visitors meandering along the island’s main street, its beaches and other points of interest. But during the island’s popular Cheung Chau Bun Festival, in May, there is barely standing room. 在一個美好的周末，達成輪渡往返中環到長洲（香港最受歡迎和標 誌性的離島之一），這些渡輪以香港的標準來看是相當大的！預計 成千上萬的遊客會漫步在島上的街道、海灘和其他景點。五月舉行 長洲太平清醮期間，預計遊客會成倍增加。

Busiest MTR Station 最繁忙的港铁站

Central MTR Station 中環站 The MTR is the city’s primary and busiest transport system, so crowning its busiest station invites debate, given the number of crowded stations and platforms across the network. But the sprawling Central station is both an interchange and a busy destination, with plenty of character, as commuters and visitors teem through its 10 or more exits. In close contention are the MTR interchange stations at Kowloon Tong and Admiralty. 港鐵是香港最繁忙的交通運輸方式，他也是這座城市體量最大和最繁 忙的交通系統，而中環是眾多地鐵站中最繁忙的地鐵站因為它既是換 乘樞紐，又是大家的目的地，繁忙的乘客從十多個出口進進出出。至 於亞軍則是九龍塘和金鐘，這兩個站的港鐵利潤頗豐。

05

Busy Street Market 繁忙的街市

Ladies’s Market, Mong Kok 旺角女人街 In a city bursting with street markets, we are spoiled for choice.

In the end, the city’s most popular street market – known for fashionwear of all types – is also its busiest, against contenders that include Ap Liu Street in Sham Shui Po, Temple Street, and the Chinese New Year flower markets. They are all worth visiting to join in the fun. 在一個街道市場林立的城市裡，我們的選擇太多了。不過最受歡迎的 街頭市場是以銷售時尚商品的居多，不過香港有很多這類街道，深水 埗的鴨寮街、廟街、還有春節期間的花卉市場——都值得參觀。

06

Busiest Hiking Trail 最繁忙的远足径

Mount Parker Road, Quarry Bay 鰂魚涌柏架山道

While the Dragon’s Back is Hong Kong’s best-known hiking trail, for sheer busyness, it’s hard to beat the Mount Parker Green Trail that rises from Quarry Bay to the top of Hong Kong Island’s second-highest peak. The road passes through Quarry Gap, a busy trail interchange linking to Tai Tam and Mount Butler. 我們知道，龍脊被許多人視為香港最具標誌性的遠足徑。不過，如果您時 間緊張，我們會推薦柏架山道，這條路徑從鰂魚湧延伸到香港島第二高峰 山帕克山的頂部，這條路徑不考驗體力，無論是登山愛好者還是遊客都可 完成。這條繁忙的步道，沿途有遠足徑通往大潭、畢拿山及其他遠足徑。 在這永遠不會獨自徒步旅行，歡迎大家來這裡歡度週末。

Busiest Beach 最繁忙的泳滩 Repulse Bay 淺水灣 This expansive, sandy beach – on Hong Kong Island’s upmarket southern shore – is framed by steep hills and high-rise buildings and quickly gets mighty busy on a sunny afternoon. Shek O Beach on Hong Kong Island is another popular beach that fills up in a hurry. 這是香港最著名的海灘也是最繁忙的泳灘。遊客在這裡，曬着太陽， 感受美景。這片廣闊的沙灘被陡峭的山丘和高層建築包圍着，尤其 是陽光明媚的下午人流量很大。香港島的石澳海灘也是很受歡迎的海 灘，遊人熙熙攘攘地欣賞着不可多得的景色。

08 Busiest Gathering Place

最繁忙的聚会地点

Central near Worldwide House 中環環球大廈附近 On Sundays and public holidays, Hong Kong's 400,000 domestic helpers fan out across the city in search of a place to meet friends, rest, remit money home, run errands, shop, and just chill. Most popular is Central’s Chater Road and adjacent city blocks, closed to traffic, and the adjoining Worldwide House – a vibrant Filipino shopping arcade. Victoria Park, preferred by Indonesian helpers, also gets crowded. 香港有超過30萬名菲傭，他們在周日或公眾假期聚在城市各處，以尋找休息的 地方，匯錢回家，辦事，購物，結交朋友和放鬆。中環的環球大廈附近是她們 最喜歡的活動區，其內部設有一個菲律賓購物商場。甚至整條街道也被他們佔 據，絕對是獨一無二的景象！維多利亞公園是印尼打工仔的避風港，有活動是 同樣非常擁擠。

Busiest Waterfront Promenade 最繁忙的海滨长廊

09

Avenue of Stars, Tsim Sha Tsui 尖沙咀星光大道 After a long-awaited redevelopment, the new-look Avenue of Stars is sleeker and busier than ever, holding its title as Hong Kong’s busiest promenade. Its draw is the unbeatable views of Victoria Harbour and one of the world’s most iconic cityscapes. Alternatively, the Central Harbourfront that now stretches from Sheung Wan to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is increasingly popular, and another delightful place for a stroll. 經過漫長的重建後，外觀煥然一新的星光大道仍然像以往一樣忙碌，仍 然保留着香港最繁忙海濱長廊的美譽。讓它如此受歡迎的是維多利亞港 的景色，維多利亞港是世界上最具標誌性的城市景觀之一。從上環一直 延伸到香港會議展覽中心的長廊同樣很美， 兩處都很受歡迎。 JANUARY 2021

Close behind, the venerable Lion Rock Tunnel, connecting Kowloon with Sha Tin since 1967, carries over 90,000 vehicles daily. 這是香港最古老的海底隧道也是最繁忙的隧道，於一九七二年落成的海底 隧道是一條雙向行車隧道，一端地處中環中環，每日載客量約為11萬輛， 因此現今仍是香港最繁忙的隧道。此外，興建於 1967 至 1978 年連接九龍 和沙田的獅子山隧道，是香港最古老的公路隧道，也是香港第二繁忙的隧 道，每日載客車號量超過 9 萬輛。

12 Busiest Ferry 最繁 忙的 渡轮

Star Ferry 天星小輪 While nowhere near as busy as in its heyday when it was the primary connection between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, the Star Ferry still runs every ten minutes between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central, and also to Wanchai. Surprisingly, in 2018 the Star Ferry service ranked as the world’s busiest, carrying around 26 million passengers yearly.

The iconic ride remains top of any visitor’s to-do list. 連接香港島與九龍的天星小輪雖然沒不如以前繁忙，但仍穩定地每十 分鐘一趟，往返於前沙咀與中環及灣仔之間。令人驚訝的是，2018 年天星小輪仍被評為全球最繁忙的渡輪系統，每年載客約 2600 萬人 次。標誌性的渡輪在所有遊客的打卡事項列表中仍排在首位。

The ever-popular Ocean Park has another lengthy escalator system. 號稱世界最長的自動扶梯系統，全長 800 米，連接中央商務區和半山 高層住宅區，獨特的生態系統，全新締造了蘇豪區。每天都有成千上萬 的上班族與遊客們穿梭這裡，經過時尚活力的酒吧、餐館、健身館和精 品店。海洋公園也宣稱其自動扶梯系統是世界上最長的自動扶梯系統之 一，我們也會推薦大家去打卡。

Our culinary destination this month is Yue, the noted Cantonese restaurant at the Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung Hotel, which offers much to impress. The elegant décor of the expansive restaurant is contemporary Chinese, its dining area smartly furnished with comfortable, upscale furnishing and adorned with artworks. There are two private rooms set aside, with the larger one enjoying access to a private terrace.

The restaurant is helmed by Executive Chinese Chef Jacky Chung, who brings over 30 years of well-rounded Cantonese cooking acumen to Yue. Chef Chung strives to create a quality and healthconscious menu combining authentic regional Cantonese cuisines, using seasonal ingredients from across the world, immaculately prepared and presented.

As a bonus, the hotel is launching an initiative to encourage the use of ingredients produced by local producers in Lantau, with one option being honey from Hong Kong’s own honey farm in nearby Mui Wo. For our lunch, we tried a mix of dim sum items

and classic Cantonese soup, roasted and wok-fried dishes. We started with a trio of dim sum: Steamed Shrimps and Pork Dumplings with Citrus ($68/3 pieces); Baked Taro Pastry with Roasted Duck and King Oyster Mushroom ($88/3 pieces); and Pan-fried Buns with Minced Wagyu Beef in Teriyaki Sauce ($88/3 pieces) – an innovative use of the wagyu.

Steamed Lotus Roots Glazed with Honey and Sesame ($98/person) came next. We liked the sweet and subtly spicy flavour of the crispy fried lotus-root slices. The honey from Mui Wo is put into good use, as it also serves in Stewed Beef Glazed with Honey and Turnip Cakes ($128).

Soup of the Day – Boiled Pork Ribs Soup with Fig, Chayote and Sweet Corn and Rice Bean ($108) is rich, flavourful and yummy. Stir-fried Sliced Iberian Pork Belly with Zucchini ($228) was next, and it was a real treat – the pork meat is tender to the bite and deliciously tasty, contrasting nicely with the crunchy zucchini slices. Next came Roasted Marinated Pigeon ($118/piece) – an award-winning dish of Chef Chung’s creation; the medium sized squab, chosen for its flavour, is thoroughly marinated in a secret sauce before roasting it wok-style.

We wrapped up the meal with Simmered Seasonal Vegetables with Tomatoes and Mushrooms in Fish Broth ($228), a wonderful dish, and Braised Tossed Noodles with Shrimp Roe in Abalone Sauce plus Chilled Mango Cream with Sago and Pomelo ($58) and Chilled Black and White Sesame Rolls ($58).

Our visit to Yue proved to be thoroughly enjoyable and appetising – we appreciate the quality of the food, the preparation care that goes into it, and the elegant and relaxed ambience. Yue is surely destined to be the latest dining hotspot in Lantau. Give it a try!■

Our culinary outing to The Tai Pan combines quality food, elegant setting and a relaxing ambience. 我們的 The Tai Pan 美食之旅享受到了優質食物、高雅環境和輕鬆氛圍。

E

ver since it opened in 2018, the Murray, a luxury hotel converted from an architecturally famed government building, has been a favourite destination among the city’s elite for business and social gatherings. Its success owes in large part to its dining outlets, including the Tai Pan, the object of our visit.

Tai Pan is a high-end contemporary steakhouse that serves quality roasted and grilled meats plus a large selection of seafood items, taking advantage of Hong Kong’s ability to source fresh seafood and seasonal gourmet items from the world over. This means a nicely balanced menu of beloved traditional steakhouse dishes such as grilled steaks and roasted beef and lamb with a broader offering of contemporary items.

The restaurant is bright, airy and spacious, helped by tall ceilings and large windows wrapped around the building. The décor is elegant and contemporary.

A beautiful and immaculately polished marble floor exudes the luxuriant lustre that nicely frames the sleek furniture and fixtures. There is a large alfresco terrace area just outside on the hotel garden podium, which sits comfortably against the shadows of the building in the heart of the city – a most surreal sight and a real urban hidden pleasure.

For our lunch, we chose à la carte. The restaurant does offer a Set Lunch Menu ($408/two-course menu per person and $512/three-course menu per person).

The Daily Carving-usually prime roast beef, which can be ordered à la carte or as part of the set menu-is served tableside from a beautiful silver trolley. A dessert trolley also presents guests with an array of yummy sweet treats.

We started with two refreshing and aesthetically presented appetisers. The first was Hand-Cut Octopus & Scallop ($260), which is sliced octopus, scallop

22

www.hkcitylife.com | JANUARY 2021

tartar, plum wine jelly, golden leaf, soy, sake and yuzu cream. The dish is carefully and meticulously layered.

The umami flavour is nicely accented by the subtle seasoning.

The other appetiser is a house specialty, Jumbo Lump Crab Meat Salad ($285) with mango emulsion, tomato salsa, basil, celery and crispy feuilles de brick.

The combination of mango emulsion and the tasty crab meat is a deft touch, with the crispy pastry sheet and the garnish nicely complementing the delicious dish.

For our main courses we opted for Crispy Iberico Pork Belly ($308) honey mustard–glazed, with sweet potato puree, kale, apple sauce, orange & ginger pork jus. The tender pork is excellent – the flavour of the crispy skin and succulent meat enhanced by the glazing and condiments – a real treat.

Our other main was Pomegranate Glazed Beef Short Rib ($430), shaved Brussels sprouts, pumpkin seed, peppercorn and pistachio crust. The rib is slowcooked and braised to allow the flavour of the juice and the seasoning to soak in, to just the right texture.

The potato puree is slightly sweet and velvety smooth – another hit with us.

We also chose Butternut Squash Risotto ($250), Carnaroli rice, crispy chestnut, brown butter, parmesan – a tasty and healthy looking vegetarian dish that we demolished with gusto.

We wrapped up the meal with a dessert from the dessert trolley of seasonal selections. Our choice Mont Blanc Entremet ($180), which is chestnut puree cake topped with icing and cream, well-matched the festive spirit.

The Tai Pan is an excellent place to enjoy a superb meal for a special occasion or gathering in an elegant setting. We highly recommend it.■

Bibi & Baba As fans of Southeast Asian cuisines, we were naturally drawn to newly opened Bibi & Baba, the first restaurant in Hong Kong to specialise in Nyonya cuisine.

Nyonya cuisine or Peranakan food originated from the food prepared by families of intermarriages between Chinese immigrants and local indigenous people in Southeast Asia, which included the Malays, Javanese and Siamese.

The daughters of these families are called Nyonya and the sons are called Baba. Over time, the women in charge of the kitchen assimilated southern Chinese cooking into local taste and dishes, bringing forth the Nyonya cuisine.

Bibi & Baba was created by the duo of Tinoq and Dylan, both of private kitchen fame and hailing from Singapore, and with a passion for down-home peranakan cooking. Nyonya cuisine is distinctive in its use of local herbs and spices plus the use of Chinese ingredients such as bean pastes and in its intense flavour.

For small plates, we had Kueh Pie Tee ($78) a popular Nyonya dish of a thin crispy pastry hat filled with jicama, omelette and cucumber strips, Vegetarian Fried Popiah ($78) or spring roll, and Otah ($88), a delicious fishcake.

作為東南亞美食的愛好者，剛剛開業的 Bibi & Baba ，也是香港 首家提供娘惹菜的餐廳，自然是我們的首選。 娘惹菜，起源於中國移民與東南亞當地原住民（包括馬來人、爪 哇人和暹羅人）通婚家庭所作的食物。這些家庭生下的女兒叫做娘 惹，男生則叫峇峇。隨着時間的推移，負責廚房的婦女們逐漸將華人 飲食習慣、做法與當地飲食口味和文化結合在一塊，娘惹菜就這樣誕 生了。

Bibi & Baba 是由 Tinoq 和 Dylan 兩人創建的，他們在新加坡還 經營著私房菜館，對地道的華人口味烹飪有着極大熱情。娘惹菜的特 色在於使用當地的草藥和香料，再加上中國食材，如豆瓣醬等，味道 濃郁，非常惹味。 我們吃了小金杯（$78），這道娘惹菜用薄薄的酥皮小金杯裝着 沙葛、蛋捲和黃瓜條；香炸素福建潤餅（$78）和烏達（$78），是一 種美味的魚餅。 接下來是娘惹叻沙（$102），這道以奶油咖哩為基礎的叻沙，在 濃稠的湯底中加入了大量的蝦、魚餅和麵條。主菜方面，我們吃了黑 果燜雞（$168），仁當牛肉（$148），這道用香草和香料在幹咖哩中 烹製的牛脛骨十分美味，還有亞三魚（$288），一種用 Assam 醬烹 製的酸辣魚。

Nyonya Laksa Lemak ($102), a creamy curry-based laksa chock-full of prawn, fishcake and chunky noodles in a rich and tasty soup base, was next.

For main courses, we ate Ayam Buah Keluak ($168), a braised chicken dish, Beef Rendang ($148), beef shin cooked in herbs and spices in a dry curry, and Assam Pedas ($288), a zesty spicy-sour fish dish cooked with Assam paste.

我們點了番薯葉（$88）和蝶豆花飯（$32）來配菜。最後還有三 道甜品：煎蕊 （$58）、黑糯米粥（$58）和娘惹糕拼盤（$58）。

We ordered Sweet Potatoes Leaves ($88) and Blue Pea Flower Rice ($32) to go with the dishes. A trio of desserts, Chendol ($58), which is pandan and mung bean jelly served on shaved ice, Bubur Hitam ($58), a black glutinous rice porridge, and Kueh Platter ($58) of Nyonya cookies rounded out our meal.

事實證明，Bibi & Baba 很值得一試。如果你想體驗正宗的、令 人食慾大增的娘惹美食，Bibi & Baba 一定要去。

The drinks are excellent too, including a strong Gula Melaka Milk Tea ($55) and Caloma ($120), a fancy vanilla soda mixed drink with calamansi and smoked salt rim.

飲品也很好喝，濃郁的 Gula Melaka 奶茶（$55）還有 Caloma （$120）奇特的香草混合蘇打飲料配合自家製酸柑和煙燻鹽，味道 一絕。

G/F, Pao Yip Building, 1-7 Ship Street, Wan Chai 灣仔船街1-7號寶業大廈地鋪；2555 0628

Bibi & Baba proved to be a delight. For a special experience in authentic and appetising peranakan comfort food, Bibi& Baba is well worth a try!

DINING GUIDE 飲食指南

COSMOS The recently opened Cosmos, a trendy, health conscious café in Causeway Bay featuring private dining spaces, is a welcome addition to the city’s dining scene as social distancing is required and desired.

最近開業的 Cosmos 是一家注重健康的時尚咖啡館，位於銅鑼 灣市中心，為顧客提供私密的就餐空間，對於重視社交距離的城市 來說，Cosmos 是非常受歡迎的。

The restaurant occupies the whole floor of a large commercial building.

The décor is smartly designed in contemporary style; its colour theme dominated by tranquil pastel blue and other calming colours. What makes Cosmos unique is that the restaurant has been partitioned into 29 private rooms, each for two to four guests. Moreover, each room has a largescreen TV with entertainment features with some rooms offering Netflix.

It is thus well suited to friendly or intimate gatherings for lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, or late evening snacks where guests can enjoy food, music and entertainment in a totally relaxed setting.

餐廳佔據了大型商業建築的整個樓層。裝修以現代風格為主，色 彩以柔和的淡藍色和其他淺色係為主。 Cosmos 的獨特之處在於， 餐廳被隔成29個包房，每個包房可容納2至4位客人。此外，每個房 間都有屏幕電視，具有娛樂功能，部分房間提供 Netflix。所以它非 常適合閨蜜聚會和情侶友人聚餐。不論午餐、下午茶、晚餐或夜宵 時間，客人可以在完全放鬆的環境中享受美食、音樂和娛樂。

For its food offering, Cosmos serves a casual menu of health-conscious food from selected regional and international cuisines, augmented with seasonal menu items. For our lunch, we had its signature Healthy Bowl ($118) of poached egg, pumpkin, cherry tomato, romaine lettuce, kale, avocado and quinoa with grilled chicken – a yummy treat. The Salmon Carbonara with Crab Roe ($98) is tasty and nutritious, as is Grilled Chicken Quinoa in Thai Curry ($88). Each includes coffee, tea or juice plus top-ups for extra soup (+$5) or dessert (+$5).

Cosmos also serves an All-Day Breakfast ($139) of eggs, baked beans, crispy bacon, tomato, sausage, mushroom, asparagus and toast that is filling and tasty. Its French Fries with Black Truffle ($78) is also excellent. For drinks, we tried two seasonal specials – Cotton Candy Red Bean Latte ($58) and Ginger Latte ($52), both are refreshingly appealing to the eye and the palate. Cosmos also serves a wide selection of cocktails, beers and wines, including a classic Lychee Martini ($98) that we tried.

A take-away menu includes, for example, Grilled Wagyu Beef with Rice and Tamago in Black Truffle ($78) and Korean Beef Bulgogi Quinoa Rice ($78).

Cosmos 提供的是精選區域和國際美食，並輔以季節性的菜單項 目，用休閒的方式提供健康的食物。午餐，我們吃了滿載超級食物 的 Healthy Bowl（$128），以南瓜、藜麥、牛油果、羽衣甘藍、半 熟流心蛋、車厘茄、羅馬生菜等七色蔬菜做成，非常美味。和風蟹籽 三文魚意粉（$98）美味又營養，泰式咖哩烤雞藜麥飯（$88）也是如 此。每個套餐都包括咖啡、茶或果汁，以及額外的湯（+$5）或甜點 （+$5）。 Cosmos 還提供全天早餐（$139），包括雞蛋、焗豆、煙肉、 番茄、香腸、蘑菇、蘆筍和美味的多士。黑松露薯條（$78）也很棒。 我們嘗試了兩種時令特飲—— 棉花糖紅豆咖啡特飲 （ $58 ）和 薑餅人 拿鐵（$52），兩者都令人耳目一新。 Cosmos 還提供多種雞尾酒、 啤酒和葡萄酒，推薦我們嚐過的經典荔枝馬天尼（$98）。 值得一提的是，該餐廳提供的外賣菜單包括： 黑松露蛋黃燒 牛小排飯（$78）和韓國烤牛肉藜麥飯（$78）等，性價比高。

Cosmos 既能提供極高私人空間，又能讓您輕鬆用餐。記得來 試試。

HISTORY MATTERS

香江史料

SAINT SHINES IN SKYSCRAPER SHADOWS 聖約翰座堂

1

Arthur Hacker looks at the turbulent history of St John’s Cathedral 亞瑟·克赫回顧聖約翰座堂的動亂歷史

I

t was an American Baptist missionary, the Reverend Jehu Lewis Shuck, who built Hong Kong's first Christian church on Queen's Road in 1842. Around the same time he started a newspaper called The Friend of China and set up a mission school with his formidable wife Henrietta. This aggressive woman was not content with converting the local Chinese to Christianity but simultaneously launched a crusade to save the souls of English heathens.

Leading English merchant princes were called taipans, and when one of their number remarked casually that although he believed in heaven he thought that hell was “a load of fudge”, Henrietta called him “a vile sinner.” Consequently, the colony’s merchants and opium dealers were not enamoured of the aggressive behaviour of the Shuck family and neither was the Church of England, which had been upstaged by the Baptists, and had therefore lost face.

The trading community was much more interested in constructing commercial premises such as warehouses – known as godowns – and sumptuous, ostentatious mansions for the nouveau riche taipans, than building a house of God. For the next few years the Anglican

34

community was reduced to worshipping in a humble matshed on Murray Barracks parade ground (present-day Admiralty).

The second governor of Hong Kong, Sir John Davis, found the money needed to build a church. This scholarly and rather pompous politician composed, in Latin, the inscription on the foundation stone where he describes himself as “A legate of the British Queen in China and bedecked with proconsul dignity”. The Protestant cathedral was ironically designed by an architect surnamed Pope. lt cost $6,000 and when St John's Cathedral opened in 1849 at 4-8 Garden Road, the congregation was outraged to discover that the unpopular governor’s ensanguined coatof-arms, a bloody hand, was emblazoned over the west door. It is still there.

Protocol demanded that the governor and the lieutenant-governor sat in the front pews.

Senior civil servants and top navy and military officers sat behind them. There was fierce competition for the next row of seats. The nearer to the front you prayed the greater your prestige.

The unseemly ‘battle of the pews’ was closely followed by the pernicious press at the time.

八四二年 , 浸信會傳教士叔未士牧師在 一 皇后大道建立了香港第一幢基督教座

堂。與此同時 , 他開辦了一份名為《中國之友》 的報紙，更跟他那位精明的太太亨麗愛塔成立 了一間傳教學校。這位野心勃勃的鐵娘子並不 滿足於將中國改變為基督教國家，她發起運 動，設法令所有「英國靈魂」信奉基督教。當 時人們稱英國商人的頭目九大班，其中一位大 班漫不經心地道，雖然他相信有天堂，但依然 認為有關地獄的說法是一派胡言。亨麗愛塔指 他是「卑劣的罪人」。漸漸，鴉片商人和其他 商人對叔未士家庭的激進行為不表欣賞，連屢 被浸信會教士搶盡風頭的英國國教會也感到面 目無光。

商界對於興建商用建築物如貨倉，或為大 班興建豪華大宅的興趣，遠比為神興建座堂來 得大。往後幾年，英國國教會的人只能在一間 位於美利兵營的簡陋草屋裡模拜。（現在為金 鐘） 香港第二任總督鼾維斯爵士籌得了一筆資 金，用以興建座堂。這位有點兒自負的博學正 攵治家在教堂的石碑上以拉丁文形容自己為 「英女皇欽點的中國大使 , 並賦予殖民地總督的 尊貴身份」。無獨有偶，這幢基督教座堂的建 築師的姓氏是“ Pope ” ( 意思即教皇 ) 。教堂的 建築費用共六千元 , 當位於花園道的聖約翰座堂

Things soon settled down and the cathedral continued quietly serving the Anglican community until Christmas Day 1941 – when disaster struck. This was when the British garrison surrendered to the Japanese forces. The invaders occupied the building but there are conflicting reports about what it was used for: a canteen, a jujitsu club or even a stable for Japanese officers' horses.

When the British returned, they found it completely vandalised. After the war, the rebuilding of the desecrated cathedral was taken up as a community effort.

Unlike their brethren a hundred years earlier, the taipans of the 1940s were extremely generous and provided everything from hassocks to hymn books, stained glass windows and even a new peal of bells.

When Davis built the cathedral, it was the tallest building in Hong Kong.

Famously sitting on the only freehold plot of land in the colony (the remainder being leased from the government), it dominated the city for generations until the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank opened its doors in 1935. ln the 1930s the bank was the highest building east of Suez until you reached the shores of California. These days, it is only a matter of a few years before some local property developer or institution has built a new highest building in Hong Kong, in a never-ending Tower of Babel competition.

Looking at St John’s today, surrounded by massive skyscrapers, it beggars belief that this tiny ‘toy town’ church was long the tallest and most magnificent building in Hong Kong and the dominant feature of the picturesque colonial city of Victoria. Nevertheless, it remains a glorious piece of architecture, striking in its tranquillity and as valued as ever, a reminder of a bygone age.■

於 1849 年建成時，戴維斯爵士把自己的家族徽章 隻紅手印建在 座堂的西面大門上，引起公憤。現在這個徽章依然存在。 座堂規定總督和助理總督坐在座堂前排的座席。公務員、海軍 和陸軍高級官員隨後。後幾行的座位安排弓來激烈爭議，祈禱時坐 得越前表示名望越高。這種不得體的「座位爭霸戰」被當時不懷好 意的傳媒緊密報導。 事情終於平息，座堂一直默默為莢國國教會信徒服務， 1941 年的聖誕節發生了不幸事件，服務才終止。英軍部隊於當天向日 軍投降，日軍於是佔據座堂。不同的報導指座堂被用作飯堂、柔道 會，甚至是日本軍方馬厩。當英國重新收迴座堂，座堂已遭到徹底 破壞。戰後，重建座堂成為公眾責任。 1940 年代的大班跟 1840 年 代不同，他們很慷慨，為座堂提供膝墊、聖歌書籍、彩色玻璃窗， 甚至是一個全新的鐘。 戴維斯爵士興建座堂時，教堂是全香港最高的建築物，眾所周 知，它坐落在香港唯一一塊自由保有的土地上（其余部分由政府出 租），直至 1935 年香港上海匯豐銀行建成為止。第二次世界大戰 結束後，每隔數年本地物業發展商就在香港興建更高的大廈。這種 爭高比賽可時才會完結呢？ 重看今天的聖約翰座堂，四周盡是高樓大廈。你要運用最高的 想像力，說服自己這幢小小的建築物曾幾何時是香港最高，最莊嚴 的建築物，是維多利亞殖民地的美麗標誌。不過，座堂莊嚴如故， 卻是毋容置疑的，它在寧靜中熠熠生輝，提醒人們過去的時代。■

GALLERIES The scoop on some of the best art showrooms and their current exhibitions

‘Equilibrium Shifts: a Solo Exhibition by Kim Tae-Ho’ at Pearl Lam Galleries Hong Kong 25 Nov - 14 Jan Pearl Lam Galleries is delighted to present Equilibrium Shifts, a solo exhibition by one of Korea’s leading post monochrome artists. Kim’s art practice started in the 1970s and stood in stark contrast to Dansaekhwa, the monochromatic movement that swept across South Korea during the latter part of the decade. Kim’s creative trajectory is marked by three distinct periods: his Form series from the 1970s, followed by experimental works on paper from the 1980s, and the signature Internal Rhythm series that the artist has continued to pursue since the late 1990s until today. Equilibrium Shifts surveys the artist’s early works and the formal development of the Internal Rhythm series. 601-605 Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central; Mon-Sat: 10am-7pm; 2522 1428; www.pearllam.com

‘Yu Kawashima: Ré-former’ at Whitestone Gallery 12 Dec - 23 Jan Whitestone Gallery is pleased to present Ré-former, the first solo exhibition of Japanese artist Yu Kawashima in Hong Kong. The exhibition will showcase monochromatic paintings meticulously painted by mineral pigments and ink, including new series the artist created for the exhibition. Born in Shizuoka, Japan in 1988, Yu Kawashima spent his childhood in a verdant countryside.

This gave him an innate sense of discomfort to the artificial and inorganic world, and the unease caused anxiety in him on perceiving the disquieting signs of the surroundings. 7-8/F, H Queen’s, 80 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong; Tuesday Saturday: 11:00 - 19:00, Sunday: appointment only. Closed on statutory holiday; 2523 8001; www.whitestone-gallery.com

‘Karl Horst Hödicke Solo | Eingedunkelt’ at Leo Gallery 27 Nov - 25 Feb The show title takes its inspiration from a poem of French poet Paul Celan – “Eingedunkelt”, which translates to benighted, an absolute darkness. It is an ambiguous state between the night and dawn, containing countless of possibilities. As one of the most significant contemporary German neo-expressionists, Hödicke paints with genuine emotions, in a wild and enthusiastic style. Having been through the turmoil in the ‘darkest moment’ of German politics, he concerned the fate of the nation, as well as the joys and sorrows of the people. The pain, struggles and hope that he has endured and expressed, echoed the destiny of mankind. It is undeniable that a new era has arrived.

‘Takis’s Exhibition | White Cube Hong Kong’ at White Cube 21 Nov - 27 Feb White Cube Hong Kong is pleased to present an exhibition of works by the late Greek artist Takis (1925–2019).

Featuring sculptures drawn from a thirty-year period – from the end of the 1960s to the 1990s – it showcases the artist’s committed exploration of art and science. Takis carved out a new aesthetic territory, incorporating invisible forms of energy such as magnetic, acoustic or light waves as the fourth dimension of his work.

HOTEL CORNER

酒店專才

MEET THE President Woody Leung is the newly elected President of the Society of the Golden Keys of Hong Kong. The ever-youthful Chief Navigator Concierge of the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong shares his thoughts on his new role. 梁國威是香港國際金鑰匙協會新主席。這位年輕的香港萬麗海景 酒店禮賓部首席分享了他對新職位的看法。 It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 25 years – time flies when you are having a blast! I started at the Excelsior Hong Kong right after school, working as a bell boy, and taking on different jobs within the concierge department including managing the Fitness Centre and a short period at the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong as a Cultural Exchange Ambassador. I spent 21 years there before moving to the Marriott Group, spending time in several Marriott hotels including The Ritz-Carlton, The St. Regis, The W Hotel, JW Marriott Hong Kong, Ocean Park Marriott, SkyCity Marriott, Sheraton Hotel & Towers, Le Meridian Cyberport, and the Courtyard, conducting cross-training before taking up my current position.

I love being a concierge. I am curious by nature, and love to learn. The concierge job keeps me on my toes and motivates me to continue learning to help satisfy the different needs of our hotel guests from all over the world. That’s why you’ll find that, in many hotels, the concierge staff tend to be more mature because the job does require experience and knowledge.

I joined the Society as a Full Member (now called ‘Les Clefs d’Or Member’) in 2014 and went on to the committee four years ago, eventually joining the Board as general secretary before my recent election to president. Today, the society has 167 members including 109 chief concierges and assistant chief concierges.

The Hong Kong chapter of the society is one of the oldest in Asia, as you would expect, given the city’s long professional hotelier tradition. The society is a professional membership organisation for in-service concierges, with goals to promote fellowship and professional development, a mission we take very seriously.

As the new president, one of my goals is to inject new blood to our society by recruiting new and younger members. To do that we need to continue to ensure that the society remains relevant, up-to-date, and interesting to our members.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, that means we meet virtually to stay in touch, using communication tools such as Zoom and WhatsApp. I am looking to initiate more activities for the society, and on a more decentralised and grassroots basis.

In this current environment, it is important that we as concierge proactively embrace change and become more functionally competent. As a personal example, I've myself started a project at our hotel's children’s zone to help improve operation in the areas of safety, hygiene, cleanliness, and queue management.

很難相信已經快25年了——歡樂時光飛逝！畢業後我就到香港怡 東酒店工作，當時是一名侍應生。後來在禮賓部做過很多不同工作， 類似健身中心主管這種，還在香港文華東方酒店擔任過一段時間文化 交流大使。加入萬豪集團之前的21年間，我在幾家其他酒店工作過， 包括麗思卡爾頓酒店，瑞吉酒店，W酒店，香港JW萬豪酒店，海洋 公園萬豪酒店，天際萬豪酒店，喜來登酒店，數碼港艾美酒店以及萬 怡酒店，所以在擔任此職位前，我經過了很多類型的“培訓”。 我喜歡在禮賓部工作，因為我生性好奇，熱愛學習。禮賓部的工 作讓我保持警覺，激勵我繼續學習，以滿足來自世界各地客人的不同 需求。這就是為什麼你會發現，在許多酒店，禮賓部員工往往更成 熟，因為這個工作需要經驗和知識。

2014年，我以正式會員的身份加入了協會，四年前加入委員會， 最後成為協會的秘書長，最近當選了主席。協會現有會員167人，其 中首席禮賓師和其助理佔109人。 協會的香港分會是亞洲最早的分會之一，因為香港擁有悠久且專 業的酒店經營歷史。該協會是負責禮賓服務的專業會員組織，目標是 促進團結和專業發展，這是十分重要的使命。 作為新主席，我的目標之一就是通過招募年輕的新成員為協會注 入新血，帶動新活力。為此，我們需要繼續確保成員酒店的時效性和 趣味性，以及與社會的關聯度。 在新冠疫情大流行時期，我們會用 Zoom 和 WhatsApp 等通訊 工具進行虛擬聚會以保持聯繫。我希望可以在更分散和更基層的基礎 上開展更多的社會活動。 在當前環境中，我們必須主動接受變化，提高競爭力。舉個我自 己的例子，我們酒店的新創了一個兒童區項目，當中我要負責構思和 安排有關安全、衛生、清潔和排隊管理，務求做到盡善盡美。

We want to do our part to help the hotels during this pandemic period. As most hotels have primarily staycation guests, we need to provide even faster and more efficient service, to meet the expectations of our local Hong Kong guests.

在新冠疫情大流行時期，我們希望盡可能為酒店提供幫助。由於 大多數客人希望體驗“宅度假”，意味着酒店需要提供更高效的服 務，以滿足香港本地客人的需求。

My favourite thing to do is to explore different parts of Hong Kong with my kids while they are still young, so they can have lasting memories of the city – places like Sham Shui Po and Cheung Chau. We all like to try out different local foods and restaurants.

最喜歡做的是和我的小孩子們一起探索香港，讓他們對這個城市 有不一樣的記憶，比如深水埗和長洲等地。我們還喜歡品嚐不同的香 港地道美食和餐館。

I love Hong Kong; it’s my home. The city is super-convenient and fast-changing, you need to be quick to adapt, and I love that. Hong Kong is a great city!
