Two international tattoo exhibitions are visiting Shanghai in the following months, so we took this opportunity to look at the tattoo industry in Shanghai, and see if tattoos are still taboo in the Middle Kingdom (pages 6 and 7). Our resident money expert, Bill Longstreet, teaches us how to be vigilant, and spot poor investments from a mile away. An important skill if you plan to have a sizable return upon retirement (page 4). Dulwich College’s Aiden Speechley and his family spent their summer holidays in the hills of Nepal, helping to rebuild a local school after the devastating earthquake earlier in the year. Read about their experiences in this month’s Education Talk (page 8). It’s “Mission Impossible” over on our Travel Talk pages this month. Question: What do you do when you only have 24 hours in London? Answer: Everything! Check out our hit list (pages 12 and 13). Finally, we all need a little TLC every once in a while.

V-Day Celebrations

Thirty heads of state will descend upon China on 3 September to mark the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggressions and the World Anti-Fascist War. Over 17 countries will participate in China’s military parade, totalling almost 1,000 foreign troops. Across the country, residents will also benefit from the creation of a new public holiday to mark the occasion. Workers will have an extra holiday on 3 September so that they will be able to partake in the celebrations, should they so choose.

Half-Price Admission At Tourist Sites

From 12 September to 18 September, enjoy halfprice tickets at many of Shanghai’s most popular tourist attractions. Even though many of the city’s tourism attractions will be raising their prices in the next few months, the Shanghai Tourism Festival has given the sites a reason to offer guests a chance to visit for a fraction of the price. The special deals are valid at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Fengjing Water Town, and the Science and Technology Museum among others.

Reopening Of Jewish Refugee Cafe

The café, once a popular site for Jewish refugees to meet in Shanghai during the turmoil of WWII, will be given a new lease of life this month by reopening and acting as a stop off point on an exhibition about Shanghai’s role in saving the lives of many Jewish refugees. Although the original building was demolished, after being sold to a local when the Jewish owner left Shanghai, it has now been rebuilt following the original blueprint, and has been supplied with many of the original items of furniture. The opening, and first exhibition to be held in the new space, will help to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of WWII.

City’s Manhole Covers To Be Seen From Space

Baoshan District has plans to install sensors on 12,000 manhole covers, which will be monitored by satellite. The sensors will be able to detect if the covers are removed or if there is a gas or water leak in the tunnel below. Thousands of manhole covers go missing every year in Shanghai, which impacts the local public’s safety. Hopefully, these measures will benefit all in the city.

MONEY TALK

Signs Of A Poor Investment Making proper investment decisions early in life can have a huge impact on your wealth at retirement. When it comes to investing your money, prevention is certainly better than cure. It’s important to sniff out and avoid those unwanted investments, the following are a number of basic signs to look for when considering an investment. Excessive Costs:

The harder it is to make money after you pay the costs, the more likely you’ve got a poor investment choice. That’s not to say some mutual funds, insurance policies and other securities can’t overcome costs, but most don’t. Even when an investment has beaten the odds and delivered, despite high costs, a buyer should be asking if it’s able to continue, because expenses almost always drag down future returns. Also, costs oftentimes are hidden or buried in complex investment products. Investors need to recognise that there is no free lunch, one way or another, whether it is out in the open or buried in the details, you’re the one paying the costs, and no one would be selling it to you if they couldn’t make something on the deal. Anytime the fees are difficult to understand, you should probably walk away from the deal.

Poor Timing:

This is not so much about engaging in timing the market, as it is being aware of where an investment really is at the moment you buy it. Studies show that investors typically bail out of an investment when it declines by more than 20 per cent from their buying point. Even if a stock takes off from there, all the investor experiences is the loss. Too often, investors look at the positives without recognising the factors that could delay the success they foresee. For example, investors may love the concept behind a popular sector or business but may not recognise that

TalkMagazine

September15

institutions are shorting the stock or sector, a condition that average investors typically would want to avoid, or they look at a stock that has fallen into bargain territory without considering the reasons for the sell off and what might drive the price down further. Even if your investment premise looks right for the long term, it’s important to recognise that no investment grows in a straight, upwards line, so it is important to be patient and expect volatility.

Ambiguous Spin:

If you want to know whether you are being sold the equivalent of financial swampland, be sure to ask about product costs and future liquidity. If the answer from the advisor comes back, “look at the great funds you have access to”, or “the product is designed to provide investment discipline”, run away. If you ask enough questions and the responses are nervous, worried or aggressive, there’s most likely trouble. If everything doesn’t make sense, then it’s probably a bad investment. When the people supporting an investment aren’t giving you a straight answer, they’re hiding something, and it most likely has something to do with the investment costs and/or liquidity.

High-Pressure Sales:

If the advisor or sales person seems desperate, by continuing to hound you for an answer, calling you at all times of the day, it is likely a good sign to walk away from the deal.

Bill Longstreet Dubious Practices:

Sometimes, an investment is bad just because of how it is constructed, the style of management or the ethics of executives. It may be a great marketing idea, that’s a poor investment concept. These flaws aren’t always evident at surface level, but when uncovered can quickly turn an investment that looks good into an ugly situation.

andom International’s Rain Room is a monumental work that encourages people to become performers on an unexpected stage, while at the same time creating an intimate atmosphere of contemplation. This exhibition is an invitation to explore the roles that art, science, technology and human ingenuity can play in stabilising our environment. Rain Room was first presented at the Barbican in London (2012) and then at The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2013). It will be premiered in Asia at the Yuz Museum Shanghai Rain Room is a large-scale environment of perpetually falling water that ceases to pour wherever a person walks. Rain Room responds to the presence and behaviour of its participants, offering visitors a surreal environment and unique relationship with water. Exploring ecological challenges through art, this presentation of Rain Room also offers another perspective to the multi-layered Yuz Collection and the forthcoming programming of spectacular temporary exhibitions at the Yuz Museum.

eo-Perception, a group exhibition that gathers the works of 24 young female Chinese contemporary artists, has been curated by Dr. Wang Chunchen and will show a prime selection of works from the artists’ oeuvres. Participating artists are Gao Shan, Gao Sihua, Geng Xue, He Xiaochun, Ju Ting, Li Na, Li Zi, Lin Ran, Lin Xin, Liu Qianyi, Liu Ren, Liu Yujie, Luo Wei, Mi Yuming, Pei Li, Wu Chao, Wu Mengshi, Wu Silin, Yu Feifei, Zhang Yaning, Zheng Qi, Zhou Hongbin, Zhou Qiaoyun and Zhou Qingshan. Neo-Perception embraces and confronts the imagery and language unique to art that reflects the diversity in women’s experiences and approaches to their identity, as well as explores other themes on humanity. Art, during any time period, sees artists seeking their own voice as a fundamental pursuit; as a contemporary art exhibition, we witness the range of mediums that allow artists to express a variety of themes, including identity, sexuality, gender, mortality, relationships, and social dynamics. The psychological, philosophical, existential messiness of women’s lives and identities remains a legitimate and compelling domain of art. Neo-Perception seeks to open a discussion on today’s generation of women and how they are reflected in art, without assuming the label of ‘female art’. Rather, the exhibition seeks to unveil a new consciousness and perception of the world as it is today.

onderment focuses on the recent work of Mu Lei, a Beijing based artist who has developed his own distinctive approach to painting and image construction. The exhibition will reveal the relationship between contemporary practice and more conventional approaches to figurative painting. Practicing a more traditional category of painting, Mu’s figures mediate his relationship with the world through a sense of the real and illusory. Highly technical compositions with impressionistic

elements, the paintings depict entrancing subjects in muted tones of black, white, grey and red. Mu seduces his viewers by "ornamentalising" women as icons – playing with roles of power and objectification. The exhibition will feature recent works from the artist.

The Rise Of Body Art In China Nyima Pratten

Tattoos And Taboos in Shanghai

Shanghai is welcoming two international tattoo shows over the coming months, the Shanghai International Tattoo Extreme & Body Art Expo, from 11 September to 13 September, and the Shanghai International Tattoo Festival, from 1 October to 5 October. Both shows will bring big names from the tattoo world to town, as well as showcase local talent. In honour of this occasion, we decided to take a deeper look at tattoos and taboos in Shanghai.

T

attoos are nothing new to the Middle Kingdom; in fact, they have had a long and varied history in China. In ancient Chinese literature, there are references to bandits and warriors with their entire bodies covered by tattoos. Furthermore, some Chinese ethnic minorities, such as the Li and Dai, traditionally would tattoo their faces and bodies to portray strength and beauty, or as a right of passage. These tribal tattoos would be rudimentary dots and lines, drawn over a period of time on the face, arms and legs. However, nowadays, as these minority cultures have assimilated with the modern world, it is quite uncommon to find minority people who still display the markings, save for a few old women back in their villages. In more recent history, tattoos were associated with triads

and organised crime, as many gang members would be tattooed with a mark signifying their allegiance to one group. Nevertheless, even with these recent negative connotations, the trend for body art in China seems to be growing faster than ever, as youngsters, and the older generation alike, look for ways to differentiate and represent themselves in a country that is rapidly developing and becoming ever more materialistic. These new waves of patrons don’t appear to show any concern for the negative associations once linked with the art form. Instead, Chinese customers not only look to places like the West and other parts of Asia for body art inspiration, but they are also looking inwards, at Chinese art and culture, Andrea Afferni

for design ideas. Shanghai resident and tattoo enthusiast, Huiyi Zhu, told Talk, “I like the idea of my body being a canvas, my tattoos all tell a story and are part of my life experiences and cultural heritage.” The first international tattoo show to be hitting Shanghai in September is Shanghai International Tattoo Extreme & Body Art Expo, organised by Tattoo Extreme Magazine from Taiwan. They are bringing with them a wide variety of authentic, as well as up-and-coming tattoo artists, and will be working with local talent in the form of Zheng Jin from Zhencang Tattoo, Jacky Huang from Yu Tattoo and Tao from Tattoo Family. The International Tattoo Festival, on the other hand, will be hitting the city in October and bringing with them a wealth of famous international talent such as, Hailin Fu, from Liehuo Tattoo, USA, Paul Booth, from Last Rites Tattoo, USA, Richie Lucero, from Black Cat Tatto, USA and Andrea Afferni from Andrea Afferni, Italy. We talked to Hailin Fu, an internationally famous Chinese tattoo master, and host of The International Tattoo Festival in Shanghai. He has taught over 300 students the art of tattooing and has the unique

One such tattoo storeowner, Dylan Byrne, co-owner of Shanghai Tattoo, told us that tattoos have completely shaken off their negative connotations in China. He believes that thanks to young Chinese talent, who cover all genres and styles, Chinese people are able to create their own identity with tattoos, in the same way the country now creates its own identity with movies, music and other forms of pop culture. Byrne told us that it is not

ability of being able to tattoo without the use of a stencil. Fu believes that the Chinese tattoo industry is developing at a faster pace as spending power in the country increases. Fu also credits a rise in the number of professional art school graduates, who find it hard to get glamorous work in the art industry and therefore choosing to become body artists, as a reason why the scene in China is developing so rapidly. It seems that this sector offers burgeoning art talent the freedom to express themselves, with the added benefit of a decent wage, and that is helping to keep it competitive and creative. Fu believes that there is still a lot of money to be made if you are a tattoo storeowner in China.

even just young people looking to get tattoos done, middle aged customers also go to the shop and get portraits of their wives or children drawn on their skin, and he thinks it is possibly because things aren't as tough and as masculine as they once were. In that case, maybe the negative stereotype in China has been shaken off thanks to this new surge of talented tattoo artists and styles. If you are looking for tattoo inspiration, to one day remind you of your life in China, Byrne tells us that there are a few stylistic routes to go down. In China, old-school traditional designs refer to the oldfashioned intricate drawings of dragons and koi carp, whilst neotraditional designs aim to jazz up these old-school designs by using new motifs, such as modern animals. Increasingly popular, however, are the new Chinese inspired styles, such as designs taking their cue from Chinese watercolour paintings and folk artwork. Body art in China is on the rise, with young innovative artists turning towards the tattoo gun in search

of artistic freedom and money, Chinese consumers looking to differentiate themselves in the face of rapid development in the country and the apparent lack of negative association for the art form. Tattoos are no longer taboo in China, and it seems that the international industry has finally recognised the insatiable appetite and demand for tattoos in Shanghai and the rest of the country.

Rebuilding Nepal Aiden Speechley Year 13 Dulwich College Shanghai

After an inspiring Speech Day presentation, by Mr. Peter Dalglish, at Dulwich College Shanghai, my family and I departed from Shanghai life at the end of June to assist in the huge project of rebuilding Nepal. We took medical supplies and money for materials from funds kindly donated by students and parents at the college.

O

n arrival, the stark contrast between the life we had at home and the lives that the children of Nepal have led was clearly apparent. We witnessed the differences between the city life in Katmandu and the life in Shanghai, high rises, business blocks and luxury hotels were no where to be seen. As we travelled into the hills we were briefed as to what we should expect when we arrived at the local school. Words could not have prepared us for the experience we had; it was somewhat upsetting. Children, the same age as my younger siblings, working in a school with no walls, bamboo and plastic sheet roofing, no air conditioning, wearing worn clothes and eating small portions of food in the glaring sun and sweltering heat. However, this sad truth spurred my family on to help as much as we could.

We undertook various activities with the children at their school, including teaching English, playing games and sport exercises, along with the task of washing their hair and tending to their injuries. We also made tables and benches, with the funds provided, so the children could eat together at meal times.

The experience we had as a family of six is an experience that we will cherish and never forget, we created many special bonds and friendships and we definitely encourage others to do the same. We believe that every donation, however small, can have a positive effect in improving the lives of these children for the better.

New Sports Centre for Dulwich College Shanghai

In September 2015, Dulwich College Shanghai will see the opening of the new purpose built Sports Centre. As a leading International School, with a proud tradition of excellence in sport and academics, the new facilities will provide an extended provision in Swimming, Water Polo, Basketball, Volleyball, Netball, Rock Climbing and Badminton. The new aquatics facility boasts a 'FINA' standard 25m six-lane Swimming Pool, a dedicated pool for beginners, a new Dance Studio and a Fitness Suite to support the strength and conditioning of all their athletes. Visitors will have an excellent view of the first XV Rugby Field from the purpose built spectators gallery while the ‘1619 Suite’, with its enviable balcony, will host official dinners and welcome students to the many International Sports Festivals in 2016, including the U19 Asian Schools' Football Finals, the U13 British Schools' in Asia Games and the Dulwich International Schools' U11 Games.

Dulwich College Shanghai: School News Another Outstanding Year of IB Results from Dulwich College Shanghai Students and teachers at Dulwich College Shanghai are celebrating yet another exceptional set of IB results as the International Baccalaureate Organisation announced its May 2015 Diploma Programme results. All 67 members of the Class of 2014 were entered for the full IB Diploma, which is recognised as the world's most demanding high school qualification and their pass rate was a stunning 100%. Unlike most IB schools, Dulwich College Shanghai does not pre-select students for entry into the IB Diploma, but gives all students the opportunity to enter this most challenging programme. This year was no exception.

Victoria Memorial at Buckingham Palace

Trafalgar Square

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spend 24 hours in one of the most vibrant and culturally important cities in the world, London.

9am After flying into Heathrow, make your way from West London to East London on the city’s easy-to-use public transport system. Get on the tube at Heathrow airport and head straight for your first destinations of the day, the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Located conveniently close to one another, get off the tube at South Kensington and take a short stroll The Natural History Museum

through the well-to-do neighbourhood towards the two famous museums. Both museums open at 10am and charge no entrance fee, unless you chose to view a special exhibition, so if you arrive a little early, treat yourself to a coffee and pastry at one of the local cafes with the money you’ve saved. The Natural History Museum hosts over 80 million specimens, spanning billions of years, and will help you to engage with the natural world and its uncertain future. Neighbouring V&A is one of the world’s leading design museums, and is the perfect place to find a little bit of inspiration. After immersing yourself in the very best of science and design, continue east, by tube, into the heart of London.

11:30am Get off the tube at Westminster for the money-shot of the Houses Of Parliament. For the best view, cross the Westminster Bridge to the other side of the river and enjoy panoramic views up and down the River Thames. To tick it off your bucket list, and enjoy the magnificent period architecture, go by foot to Trafalgar Square, a large open space in the heart of the City of Westminster with commemorative statues, and then take The Mall, a famous road leading from Trafalgar Square, past the iconic Admiralty Arch down to Buckingham Palace, for the quintessential “London” experience; you can even buy the t-shirt.

1pm After all of that walking, you will undoubtedly be tired, but you can’t relax before one last sporting effort. Find a Santander Cycle, more commonly known as a Boris Bike, to rent for the short journey between Buckingham Palace and Chinatown. Head straight to busting Gerrard Street, for some of the best Chinese food this side of Europe. Immensely popular, you might find yourself queuing for a table during peak dining hours, however, in our opinion, the longer the queue the better the taste.

In this area, you will also be able to find many stalls selling matinee tickets to some of the most popular theatre shows in town, most of which are within short walking distance.

DINING OUT

New & Noted Xixi Bistro

Nyima Pratten

What: Fusion Chinese-cum-Italian dishes

restaurant modelled as her living room, filled with items from the time and decadent period-wallpaper featuring monkeys. If you follow the red dragon scales and venture up the staircase, you will be welcomed into her boudoir, doubling as a cocktail lounge. There is also a larger-than-youwould expect patio area at the back of the house, decked out with lanterns, while the weather is still agreeable.

Where: 89 Wuyuan Lu, near Wulumuqi Lu. Tel: 6486 1331. Why: For innovative dishes that hit the mark every time

You may be surprised by some of the strange-sounding fusion concoctions on the menu, but from our experience, the Shanghainese chef hasn’t put a step out of line. Dishes are made for sharing, tapas style, and all are extremely reasonably priced. The menu is split into appetisers, rice and noodles, entrées, main dishes sides and soups. Unfortunately, there are no desserts on the menu at the moment, however, the restaurant is still in its soft opening phase and we hope to see this change soon with the owners’ talk of a patisserie. In our opinion, each dish beautifully balances the flavours of East and West, however, our highlights were the avocado and salmon rice bruschetta (RMB 28), lotus caprese (RMB 30), spinach, mozzarella and pine nuts jiaozi (RMB 25) and the slow cooked pork ribs with BBQ sauce (RMB 112), which were cooked to perfection, with the meat falling off the bone and flavoured with the delicate and fragrant taste of rosewater. As the owners have a wine background, naturally there is a well stocked bar of wines from around the world (starting at RMB 32 per glass) and a small range of cocktails (from RMB 60).

B

rought to you by the owners of Uva and Fumo, Xixi Bistro sits nestled on the tree-lined streets of up-andcoming Wuyuan Lu. The story goes that Madame Xixi was a Shanghainese woman who lived an exuberant live in the French Concession during the 1920s. She would entertain many foreign friends at her Shanghai home and in turn, her Shanghainese cooking was influenced by western tastes. The restaurant, set in a large house from the era, has been made to feel like Madame Xixi’s home, with the cosy downstairs

Xixi Bistro currently has a set lunch menu (RMB 88 per person) from which you can choose four dishes from a list of pre-selected appetisers, pastas or rice and entrées. We think it is one of the best bangs for your lunchtime buck in the area.

Second Helpings: Rachel’s Nyima Pratten

art of Pecol’s food empire on Wukang Lu, Rachel’s, opened last year to much fanfare and just two, impeccably crafted, burger options, the hamburger or the cheeseburger. The interior of the restaurant, designed by Shanghai darlings, Neri & Hu, was minimalistic, with stainless steel, high tables and swivel stools. However, this design concept was not popular with the local crowd who

found it hard to balance on their high stools whilst losing themselves in the miraculous moment when patty hits mouth. Pecol listened to his guests, and completely renovated the space this year. There is now a warmer, brighter and airier feel, with low tables, chairs and couches, following a classic retro diner theme, matching the famed American delicacy the restaurant focuses on.

the cooking time to be increased. We opted for the Rachel Deluxe burger (RMB 110), with a 200g Aussie beef patty, compared to the standard 140g patty. The meat was tender, juicy and topped with Comté cheese, bacon, onion jam, coriander seeds, lettuce, tomato, Dijon mustard and a fresh herb dressing. All burgers come with either French fries or a mixed leaf salad.

The menu has also been extended, offering a wider selection of burgers, including a chicken and duck burger (RMB 80), a veggie burger (RMB 60), made with a beetroot and potato patty, along with seven other beef varieties. All beef patties are made with Australian beef and served rare to medium, although you can ask for

Fitting with the diner theme of the restaurant, for dessert you can choose from homemade ice cream (RMB35), ice cream sundaes (RMB 45) or a dark chocolate brownie (RMB 35). Run over to Rachel’s now, and burn of some calories in advance before indulged in their American inspired feast.


Alternative Eats - Ayi’s Guotie Nyima Pratten

We delve deep into Shanghai’s food underbelly to give you an alternative view of the city’s dining scene.

A

brand new delivery concept, Ayi’s Guotie, took shape after expat residents, Felipe and Jackie Pizarro, were scolded by their ayi for feeding their child frozen dumplings from the supermarket. Their ayi claimed that she could make much healthier and additive free guotie from scratch using fresh ingredients from the market. After the eager ayi proved her point, and they were bowled over with the new and improved pot sticker dumplings she was producing, word got around in their social group and friends were clambering to taste these healthier treats. The Pizarros decided to spread the dumpling love, and role out the concept to the public by setting up a WeChat account, thus forming Ayi’s Guotie. You can now order from a range of frozen or ready-to-eat dishes, which can

be delivered to your home or office, with 12 to 24 hours of advance notice. Fresh dishes, cooked by the enterprising ayi, include kung pao chicken (RMB 85 for a 1kg portion), sweet and sour pork spare ribs (RMB 150 for a 1kg portion) and cold noodles with bean sauce (RMB 80 for a large pan). However, we opted for a delivery of frozen produce, due to its convenience, and because the ready-to-eat dishes are served in rather large portions. We selected a bag of 50 dumplings (RMB 75), which can also be delivered readyto-eat, and chose an even split of pork and leak, as well as courgette, egg and celery fillings. We were given detailed instructions about how to cook the dumplings in the guotie style, which literally means pot stickers as the dumpling skin is fried and begins to stick to the edge of the pan.

They were extremely simple to cook and the fillings were fresh, juicy and full of flavour. We also plumped for scallion pancakes (RMB 40 for 10) and homemade spicy chilli sauce (RMB 40). We loved the oil free, chilli sauce, which had a strong, yet tangy kick that kept us going back for more. The sauce is now also available to buy at the Avocado Lady (274 Wulumuqi Lu, near Wuyuan Lu). Although a lot more expensive than going out and getting fresh guotie on the street, Ayi’s Guotie offers you the convenience of being able to get your dumpling fix in your own home, without having to hustle away in a queue to receive your reward. The WeChat account closed for orders in August, due to the Pizarros spending the summer in the Sates, however, they are back open for business this month and we will be sure to try their freshly-made delivery dishes soon.

Just Desserts: Lollipop London Nyima Pratten

C

upcake aficionado, Lexi Morris, founded Lollipop Bakery in Beijing after noticing the growing trend for cupcake stores in London, around the time that Hummingbird Bakery was just beginning to make its presence known in the UK capital. After studying in Beijing for a year during university, and realising that there weren’t any cake companies of this type in the city, Morris perfected her cupcake recipes on colleagues in London for a year, before finally taking the plunge and setting up shop in Beijing. After a few years in Beijing, Morris was invited to join Shanghai’s Pantry by the Co-op, which already included female cottage industry tastemakers Spread the Bagel, Strictly Cookies and Amelia’s Jams. After a few years working out of The Pantry (205 Wulumuqi Nan Lu, near Jianguo Xi Lu), Morris was cycling her bike around the French Concession a few months ago and saw a small coffee shop that she thought would be ideal for Lollipop Bakery. Even though there was no To Let sign outside, it just so happened that the landlord was looking for a new tenant, and the rest, as they say, is history.

We loved the range of regular sized (RMB 25) and miniature (RMB 12) cupcakes, with a special deal of buy five get one free. Flavours are rotated and include Vanilla, Chocolate, Red Velvet, Oreo, Green Tea, Snickers, Lemon Meringue Pie, Black Sesame, Spiced Carrot, Banana Pie, Earl Grey and Cappuccino. And if that hasn’t already left you salivating, you can also choose from slices of larger cakes, the flavours of which

are also on rotation. We indulged in a delicious slice of carrot cake (RMB 30 per slice), with a moist and light sponge base and creamy icing. Muffins (RMB 18) and cookies (RMB 12) are also available. If you have a special occasion coming up that you want to celebrate with cake (and why would you not?), Lollipop cupcakes and cakes are available for delivery as well as customisation. Although this spot is first and foremost

for when you have to give in to your sweet tooth, the bakery also offers sandwiches and a salad bar. In an ideal location, in the heart of the French Concession, the bakery had a steady flow of customers when we visited and was a very pleasant place to spend our afternoon.

In July 2015, The Ritz-Carlton Spa exclusively launched unique deluxe anti-aging treatments by Valmont. For 30 years, Valmont has been helping women and men master the visible signs of aging.

An anti-aging expert for 30 years, Valmont never stops innovating to preserve the beauty capital and health of women. The Ritz-Carlton Spa selected a series of exquisite treatments, which include four anti-aging facial treatments and one slimming body treatment to represent complete care, personalisation and the ultimate in luxury.


Valmont Peaks of Firmness: 90 minutes or 120 minutes With the passage of time, the bumps and curves on your face will tend to become deeper and your facial contours more pronounced. Although wrinkles and loss of firmness are unavoidable, their appearance and intensity can be visibly reduced. To delay or prevent these most visible signs of aging, Valmont demonstrates all its expertise in the Peaks of Firmness treatment, a resolutely anti-wrinkle and firming treatment. Intensive cellular lifting treatment and a lifting massage are ideal for a visibly firmer and tighter face. Or add a collagen facial mask for an extra 30 minutes, which allows your skin to reach the heights it deserves! Valmont Peaks of Purity: 60 minutes Combination to oily skin types require particular attention. Purifying oily spots without drying the already lipidic areas while continuing to treat the signs of aging – the Peaks of Purity treatment is more than just a simple skin cleansing. It targets specific areas on the face, which are unbalanced. It gently re-balances, cleanses and purifies the skin, an unprecedented refreshing and mattifying experience. For a healthy and pure foundation, the emphasis is first placed on thorough cleansing then a massage that is ingenuously carried out with Renewing Pack will eliminate any shine or imperfection. Your skin will then regain harmony, thus displaying a fresh matte and glowing complexion. Valmont Discovery Treatment: 45 minutes The effects of stress, pollution and the high demands of modern life progressively mark the skin. One day after another, the complexion becomes dull and lacklustre. It loses its freshness because the cells are deprived of oxygen and nutrients. Valmont offers your skin genuine rejuvenation, inspired by the amazing force of eternal snows. Thanks to renewed energy, the fight against cutaneous aging takes on a whole new meaning. The original and symbolic treatment provides your skin with the vigour and energy required for it to look beautiful, a genuine rebirth that will make you look ravishing. Valmont Eye Treatment: 25 minutes Touch your eye contour with your finger and you will feel how different the skin in that area feels compared to the rest of the face. The eye contour is an extremely fragile area, which is why it ages prematurely. In addition to wrinkles, accumulated toxins result in dark circles and swelling. To treat the part of the face, which can reveal our age or lifestyle, Valmont offers a unique treatment perfectly adapted to this highly delicate area. Products applied following exceptionally lifting and draining gestures stimulate the synthesis of new collagen fibres. With each treatment, the dermis is re-plumped and the skin regains its density. The treatment brings instantly visible lifting results, to women’s great satisfaction. Valmont Peaks of Slimness: 60 minutes A true remodelling of the silhouette, this professional treatment focuses on the epidermis, the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue to offer tangible results from the very first session. It combines a unique motion with an original technique, working in the direction of the muscular fibres to render the body toned and slender. For 60 minutes, kneading, friction and smoothening pressures provide deep action in each area. And Valmont’s signature is, of course, present. The famous butterfly motion is now used on the body! This treatment will charm with its innovative approach and instant results. Enjoyment of our treatment experiences is not limited to women.

Extravaganza @ Sho Spa, MGM Grand Sanya Beyond the exhilaration of decadent dining and entertaining nightlife of MGM, Grand Sanya awaits an extraordinary haven of water, music, light and energy, aptly named Sho. This unique spa concept was specially created to enchant the soul and invoke a state of rejuvenation and wellbeing. The name, Sho, means enjoyment of the senses. Infused with the vitality and harmony of rushing water, Sho embodies the spirit of renewed energy, pure escape, and relaxing entertainment. The spectacular interior centres on a core bathing circuit surrounded by twenty

well-appointed treatment rooms. Sho’s staff of trained professionals will lead you through the experience, unveiling a continuous cycle of surprise and delight. In anticipation of Spa aficionados as well as those new to the spa experience, Sho features a compelling yet clearly defined menu of services, including the signature Sho Stopper treatments. Each incredible experience on the menu is created to refresh, relax, rejuvenate or reenergize – all are conceived to be transcendent. Signature Treatments: Vitality pool: Rejuvenation And Deep

Sleeping The MGM vitality pool covers 721m2. It features a vitality pool, a hamman treatment room, an aroma relax lounge and a sunbathing deck. This unique spa concept was especially forged to enchant the soul and invoke a state of rejuvenation and wellbeing. Apart from our tailored treatment rooms, Sho Spa features the largest and only vitality pool in Yalong Bay, Sanya. The pool has been infused with natural elements as the rush of a soothing waterfall and surroundings, a truly harmonious experience, embodying the spirit of renewed energy, a pure escape and relaxing moments. Hammam Treatment: Recovery And Refreshment Next to the vitality pool, we have an authentic Hammam treatment room. Hammam is an ancient treatment from Turkey, which uses a combination of alternating hot & cold and wet & dry treatments to release any mental tension and rejuvenate your body. First, we use freshly prepared mint water to scrub dead cells from your skin. This not only polishes your body, but also calms and

restores your skin. We then use a special technique to massage your shoulders to release muscle tension and finally, apply an essential body lotion to make you refreshed from head to toe. Salt Sauna: Open Capillaries And Improve Blood And Lymphatic Circulation The infrared salt sauna room in Sho Spa applies salt blocks from a crystal salt mine which is 600 meters beneath the Himalayan Mountains. The crystal salt releases negative ions into the atmosphere when heated and has a similar effect to an ionizer. These negative ions will neutralise any positively charged toxins or infections they come into contact with. The infrared heat source will open up capillaries and improve blood and lymphatic circulation in eliminating toxins from the body. The negatively ionized atmosphere promotes a great sense of well-being and improved mental clarity. Sho Spa. MGM Grand Sanya. Yalong Bay, Sanya. Tel: (0898) 8863 9999 ext. 6305.
