12 EDITOR’S LETTER

Summer is almost upon us, and the change in season has got us thinking about long, hot days and beach holidays. However, coupled with the excitement of jetting off to South East Asia, or further afield, may be the dread of wearing that itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini. But fear not, if you are anything like us, and have been storing a bit of puppy fat throughout winter, we have the solution to your fitness needs. Check out our cover story (pages 6 and 7) for some of the best fitness centre and class deals in town. And if you are wondering how to fund this new uptake in fitness classes, our resident money expert, Bill Longstreet, explains to us why now, despite the somewhat turbulent market, is a good a time as any to invest (page 5). This month, we take second helpings at one of our favourite Bund-side restaurants, Chi-Q, and family favourite, Outback Steakhouse (page 10). We also party at Le Royal Meridien’s brand new nightlight concept, Hu Bar (page 11). If you are looking for somewhere to visit during the upcoming long weekends, we have a couple of

17 options for you over on our Travel Talk section (pages 12 to 15). We highly suggest grabbing a cheap flight to the foodie heaven that is KL, Malaysia, to sample all sorts of Asian cuisines, or staying on the Mainland, and brushing up on ancient Chinese history in the old capital of Xi’an. Finally, we have a run down of winners from our Top Hotel And Apartment Awards for 2015 and 2016 (pages 17 to 22), along with photos of our award ceremony on or People Pages (pages 26 to 27). As usual, we have the latest hotel news, food and drink deals as well as our essential listings at the back (pages 28 onwards). Now, let’s Talk.

Cherry Blossom Festival In Full Swing Local media reported that almost 230,000 visitors flocked to Gucun Park during the first weekend of the annual Cherry Blossom Festival, which started last month. With more than 12,000 cherry blossom trees, it’s not hard to see why Gucun Park in Baoshan District has long been a popular place to enjoy the blossoms. Although the peak cherry blossom period is now over, the festival runs until 15 April, so don't miss the opportunity to take in the blossoms in a slightly less busy environment.

AROUND TOWN

Repurposed Art Galleries In Xuhui Five huge oil tanks, once belonging to China’s major aviation fuel supplier, will be turned into art galleries, theatre and exhibition centres at a new park along the Huangpu River in Xuhui District, reports Shanghai Daily. The four small and one large tanks were built by China National Aviation Fuel to store fuel to supply to the Hongqiao International Airport and are set to become iconic structures at the Oil Tank Art Park, the paper reported an official with the district government as saying. The park will cover 57,000 square metres and will become a public activity and art centre with the memory of the city’s early industry, the official added. Construction on the park project is slated to begin at the end of this year and will hopefully be opened by 2017.

Are You Hungry Now? Food delivery website, ele.me, was fined RMB 120,000 (US$19,354) last month by Shanghai's food safety watchdog for violating China's food safety law, reported Shanghai Daily. A number of restaurants, registered on the Shanghai-based website, were exposed to be unlicensed and filthy with untrue information. The violations came to light as a result of an investigation programme broadcast on CCTV last month. The Shanghai Food and Drug Administration said it would conduct a thorough investigation on the website's business while other punishments might ensue, reported the newspaper. Take care when selecting your takeout!

Zao: Li Wenguang @ 1933 Contemporary

Imagine @ LWH Gallery

he year of 2011 marks Li Wenguang's first encounter with paper and lines. His studio is located in Song Jiang, suburban Shanghai. He lives in the seclusion of his own home, spending eight to over ten hours a day devotedly to his work. In his creative process, Li produces art through substantial body movements, creating a physicality that is first internalised into his works and then backs away again, displaying a visual presentation of mosaic blocks. This is not the representation of his surroundings, but rather the recurrence of his daily life experience on canvas. It is not only his unique creative practice, but also his train of thought, which has nothing to do with conceptualism – it can even be considered anticonceptual. The tradition he carries is rooted deeply in the daily experiences of the city, a tradition that engraves our experiences, along with our actions, onto the canvas that almost actually existed. In the city of Shanghai, the different perceptions of life and cultural background exist in various ways. As an artist living in the modern city, Li Wenguang finds new possibilities for contemporary art to grow and prosper. This exhibition unfolds in three parts. The first works exhibited present the main skeleton of Li Wenguang’s works, and how he implements physical actions in them. Zao is the most representative of the physicality and experientialism behind his works. Secondly, a display of his paper-based works will show how the daily experience is embedded into the forms and lines of his artwork. Lastly, the gallery presents a series of his experimental artwork that combines physical action with the values of the commercial society, offering a different answer for viewers in this open city. Zao: Li Wenguang runs until 10 May @ 1933 Contemporary. 611 Liyang Lu, near Haining Lu. Tel: 3258 2558.

Rewriting Beyond Reality: Paintings By Lin Weixiang, Featuring Sculptures By Hu Ke @ Art+ Shanghai Gallery

oining the fantastical realms of Lin Weixiang’s highly detailed paintings and Hu Ke’s distinctive, lonely sculptures, Rewriting Beyond Reality unfolds the multiple layers of reality and one’s perception of it, capturing the moments of self-doubt, unsettled feelings and stifled expression in the individual. Guangzhou-based artist, Lin Weixiang, presents painted works that delve beyond the facade to consider individuality and the identities we create in the world. Expressing the richness of the fantasy and unconscious thoughts innate to an individual’s reality, Lin Weixiang’s works shape dreamlike realms populated by recurrent motifs such as trees, lakes and luxuriant flora, drawing inspiration from the landscapes of his home province of Guangdong. In addition to Lin Weixiang’s works of acrylic painting on fabric, Rewriting Beyond Reality features a selection of sculptures from Chongqing-based Hu Ke. Reflecting Freud’s tripartite division of the subconscious (id, ego, and superego), Hu Ke’s works emphasize the

MONEY TALK

There Is Never An Ideal Time To Invest Bill Longstreet

f you follow the financial markets, the below narratives may sound familiar…

2013 Analyst: “The end of quantitative easing and the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented monetary policies may forestall further gains in equities.” Outcome: Total return of S&P 500: +32.31% 2014 Analyst: “A sharp drop in commodity prices may be signalling a stalling of the global economy and justify reducing exposure equity exposure. Furthermore, the strongest performing asset class is the 30-year

US government bond, which is predicting a coming apocalypse.” Outcome: S&P 500: +13.46% 2015 Analyst: “We are worried that market breadth is deteriorating rapidly. The tech stocks are the only bright spots in an otherwise bleak investing landscape. In fact, the average publicly traded company is now firmly in bear market territory.” Outcome: S&P 500: +1.23% 2016 Analyst: “We are troubled that the defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples stocks are the market leaders and momentum is waning in growth sectors. This interest in defensive assets may lead to something bad for the market.” Outcome: S&P 500 has recovered all the losses suffered in the first two month of the year. Should be interesting to see how the rest of 2016 shapes up. I could go further back in time to sensationalise the concerns of market participants in the cross hairs of any given moment, but I think the point has been made. The stock market never looks perfect. There is always something to worry about, that’s what makes a market. If you are waiting on a perfect point of certainty in order to invest, it’s probably the time you will want to be the most cautious. There are always going to be issues such as wars, elections, corruption, debt cycles, commodity insecurity and a whole lot of people who are bigger, faster and smarter than you are in the market. In addition, there are shifting cross currents that offer little in the way of predictable patterns. For example, right now the stock market is entirely obsessed with the day-to-day fluctuation in oil prices. Stocks want a rebound in oil to boost the sickly energy sector, prop up the credit markets and generally re-initiate a sense of inflation or consumption in the global economy. Years ago, oil prices, at $100 per barrel, were a thorn in the side of stocks. If you saw a 4% jump in overnight crude

oil futures, you could pretty much count on a big drop in the stock market. Funny how perceptions change over time and “rules of thumb” seem to disintegrate under differing global circumstances. This all goes to prove a point. There is no perfect time when it comes to investing. There is only process and discipline to guide you through the difficult periods. Much of that discipline may involve tuning out the noise of the media that is constantly focusing on short-term themes or sensationalist headlines. They aren’t intentionally trying to hurt or persuade investors down any particular path. They are just motivated by different forces than we are. There are going to be periods of turbulence that test the resolve of even the most ardent buy and holder or experienced trader. However, it’s imperative that you lean even further on your specific philosophy during those tumultuous days to achieve a successful outcome. I know that many investors have been chasing their tails with individual stocks or sectors and trying to foresee the next big trend. However, in my opinion, this type of environment is more conducive to avoiding those hit-ormiss propositions by committing to broad based ETFs. Put it this way, your ego wants you to own Facebook and Google so you can brag about it to your friends and coworkers. Of course, that probably means you own some dogs like Twitter and Yahoo as well (we’ll just keep those quiet). On the flip side, your spouse wants you to own a nice portion of diversified bonds alongside some index funds. It’s not sexy, but it is a big stress reducer overall and will likely keep you from making rash decisions at inopportune times.

Summer Nyima Pratten

Getting Our GuavaPass On

It’s back, that feeling we get in the pit of our stomachs every year, after months of overindulging and happily gaining a little bit of insulation fat, then suddenly realising that summer is right around the corner. But this year, do not fret about how to shed those extra few pounds before being beach body ready, instead, we suggest making an investment in your health and signing up for GuavaPass.

Z&B Fitness

wise man once said, “Variety is the spice of life” and that certainly comes into play for us when it comes to staying motivated to keep fit. Rather than dragging yourself unwillingly to the same class every week, wouldn’t it be better to sample a wide range of classes and venues around the city? Enter GuavaPass. The beauty of the pass is that members are not restricted to taking classes from one studio, instead they can choose from 26 (at time of writing) partner locations. For frequent travellers, there is also the added benefit of being able to use the pass at hundreds of boutique fitness studios in Shanghai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Dubai, Taipei, Jakarta and Manila. The pass is based on a rolling monthly contract, so you aren’t signed into a long term commitment (because who wants that in this city?) and allows for unlimited classes at handpicked studios, however, it is restricted to only three classes from any one centre per month. We spent a month trying out the pass and whittled down our favourite fitness studios in Shanghai. So whether you want to go as part of a GuavaPass membership, or for standalone classes, we suggest burning those calories at the following locations.

Spa Talk: The Peninsula Spa Sleep Ceremony Is the fast pace of the city taking its toll on your body clock? Relax and rebalance your mind and body to ensure a peaceful night sleep at The Peninsula Spa.

he Peninsula Spa is widely regarded as one of the best spas in town, benefitting from an excellent and experienced team of expert therapists and service staff, along with a full selection of products from British spa authority, ESPA. After offering ESPA products in Peninsula Spas across the world since 2006, the hotel has now gone one step further and created a spa treatment, in conjunction with ESPA founder, Susan Harmsworth, to improve the sleeping patterns of jet setting travellers. Recognising that a restful and rejuvenating night’s sleep is an essential part of the guest experience, The Peninsula and ESPA designed a tailor made spa and wellbeing experience exclusively for the hotel chain, which focuses on relaxing and rebalancing the mind. After being rolled out through numerous countries, it is now Shanghai’s turn to benefit from the new wellness programme, with the hotel’s therapists undertaking a one-year training course supervised by an ESPA representative to guarantee the best wellness experience possible. One of the beauties of The Peninsula Spa is the amount of training and investment they put into their spa staff, ensuring that all treatments, from the moment guests walk into the elegant art-deco spa to the moment they step out, are luxurious and pamper-filled experiences. To this end, we

were more than excited to try their new, innovative treatment, unlike anything else on the market. The Peninsula Sleep Ceremony lasts for 120 minutes and begins with an aromatic bath, using ESPA’s soothing bath oil, to ease tired and aching limbs in the candlelit surroundings of a private spa suite. The therapist then guides meditation and breathing techniques to release physical and emotional

anxiety, before beginning a hot stone body massage, focusing on the vital energy points, to release harmful toxins and muscular tension. The treatment concludes with a soothing face and scalp massage, relieving tight jaw and forehead muscles. We were encouraged to clear our minds and let go of any tension during the treatment, and found ourselves being lulled to sleep at different points throughout the two-hour programme. The calming and tranquil experience certainly enabled us to leave our worries in the spa, and enjoy a deep and uninterrupted sleep that evening. After the Sleep Ceremony, all guests are welcome to unwind in a relaxation bed in the tranquil sleep room or enjoy a deliciously light yet nourishing lunch from the Naturally Peninsula menu, poolside. A good night’s sleep is an essential part of maintaining a healthy and balanced life, and we believe that everyone could benefit from improving the quality of their sleep in this hectic city. Invest in a bit of “me time” and visit The Peninsula Spa for a Sleep Ceremony treatment. The 120-minute Peninsula Sleep Ceremony is priced at RMB 1,680.

Shanghai Centre Family Fun Fair

To Prepping Your Kids For School Overseas The university research and application process can be a little stressful. Having worked with hundreds of students, in several countries, there are strategies and guidance available that assists in making the journey less traumatic. Here are five top tips for preparing your children, and yourselves, for universities overseas. Prioritise academics. This may seem obvious, but every year we are asked what students could have done to be admitted to the universities of their choice. Regardless of the country you are considering to have your child study in, the first admission criteria, and the factor of greatest weight, will be the child’s academic record (their marks and the rigour of their courses). No perfect admission test score, or extracurricular achievement, will replace that truth. The final two years of secondary school are especially crucial as are grade trends. Talk to your teens. Adolescents are infamous for being withdrawn or failing to share information or feelings with adults. That said, far too many parents have unrealistic expectations of their children and do not communicate clearly. In our meetings with students and their parents, realisations and assumptions often come to light where those hidden beliefs are exposed. Cook a meal with your child, go for a walk or unplug the headphones on that next flight – you will be surprised and will learn from your child’s own fears, apprehension and enthusiasm for what lies ahead. Choose activities with discernment. Students typically think that they have to “do it all” and be successful in sports, the arts and community service. Contrary to popular belief, universities do not expect perfection from 17 year olds.

Instead, students should engage in a couple of key activities that truly interest them, and demonstrate commitment to those. It is not about being well rounded, it is about choosing wisely and participating in those activities that matter most to each individual student and which build his or her skill set for their future goals. Quality over quantity is key. Language learning is imperative. In overseas life, we tend to take for granted that many of us speak multiple languages. But in many countries, the US and the UK especially, most people still can only speak English. Encourage your children to maintain their native tongue fluency and to build on their other language skills. Simultaneously, do not forget that English communication skills are still paramount as it is the “lingua franca” of the world! Get uncomfortable. This last piece of advice is not the one most people want to hear. As parents, we want to shield our children from failure, and push them to the front of the line. That ambition is natural, but it is not always helpful. Children must be allowed to make mistakes! They have to learn from their errors and re-adjust their behaviours and decisions independently. Life is hard, and getting an occasional bad grade, or not being picked for a team, or missing out on another tutoring session or expensive test prep class may actually make their university applications stronger in the long run. Trust us – “helicoptering” over them does not make it easier and overly-coached students are easy to spot in the application process.

Why: For imported Australian steaks and the new seafood menu

t is often hard to guarantee the quality of meat in China, especially when looking for affordable steak in the city, however, this American chain, long-established in China, doesn’t disappoint when it comes to a dependable family meal. Originally established in Florida, this steakhouse is operational across 20 countries and ensures the high quality taste of its dishes by importing beef from Australia with no extra chemicals or additives. This also helps to alleviate health and safety worries, which are oh so common in China. The cookie cutter venues are bright, airy and offer a small slice of American culture in the city, with great, attentive staff, trained to the brands high service standards. Highlights of the menu include the

I whiskey-apple barbeque flavoured pork ribs (RMB 138), with the tender meat flaking off the bone, and the sirloin with half a Boston lobster (RMB 218), one of the city’s best value, high quality surf and turf options. Outback have recently launched their “seafood season”, which includes dishes such as Boston lobster (RMB 188), handmade crab cakes (RMB 58), seafood paella (RMB 98) and grilled salmon fillet (RMB 128). Every Monday throughout April, buy one seafood main course along with a drink to get another main dish for free, so make sure to head down to one of their restaurants soon.

t’s no secret that Chi-Q is one of our favourite restaurants, with their Foie Gras Kimchi Mandoo appearing in Talk’s 50 Best Dishes supplement, and still holding a very special place in our hearts. For those who are not familiar with the concept (where have you been?), here is a quick recap: The restaurant is a collaborative culinary partnership between the Bund stalwart alongside celebrity Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and his beautiful, half Korean wife, Marja. The menu comprises of Marja’s traditional Korean recipes that have been given a modern spin by Jean-Georges and helmed by Chef de Cuisine and South Korean native, the Shanghai-famous Bina Yu. Designed by Neri&Hu, the venue has a dramatic industrial chic vibe, with a long wooden bar, welcoming guests upon arrival, private half sunken dining tables and a communal dining area. The Korean barbeques serve as the majestic centerpieces at each table. We went for second helpings at the restaurant to experience an artisanal meat tasting platter comprising of the famed Australian Blackmore Wagyu MBS +9 (RMB 688). Barbequed at the table by attentive serving staff, the tasting plate featured short loin, flat iron, karubi, short rib and tri tip. An absolutely decadent treat for foodies, the meat, fresh from the flames, was quickly wrapped in traditional Korean leaves and sauces before being allowed to melt in the mouth. The Blackmore beef is a real indulgence

The hotel has high hopes for its vertiginous venue to become the hottest spot in town, offering something for all manner of guests. The story of the figurative Hu family runs throughout the bar and lounge, giving the venue a lot of creative license without making the theme seem too forced. There is a clear distinction made upon entering, this is a destination bar, not a hotel bar, and the standalone concept allows visitors to experience Shanghai throughout the ages in one evening, with the old Shanghai street food being served up on the 65th floor to molecular cocktails on the 66th.

Eat Your Way Through KL Jamie Barys

So you scored a dirt-cheap flight to Kuala Lumpur on AirAsia, and now you’re looking at what to do in the city on your next layover? The answer is easy: EAT. A melting pot of Indian, Chinese and Malay culture, Kuala Lumpur offers some of the best food in Southeast Asia – if you know where to find it. Here are some of the country’s most iconic dishes, plus where to get them.

Coffee Shop (Kopitiam) In Hokkien, kopi translates as coffee and tiam is shop, but many of these eateries are more food court than café, often serving breakfast in the morning, then opening their space to different food hawkers for lunch and dinner. While variety can be appealing, one kopitiam institution in town keeps all the recipes in the family. Currently on its third generation of owners, Yut Kee has served its famous gravy-soaked chicken chop and dark-roasted coffee since 1928 – although it got new digs in 2014 thanks to rising rents. Go at the weekend to get a slice of unforgettable roast pork belly – an extra bonus in a city where most restaurants serve halal dishes. 1 Jalan Kamunting (off Jalan Dang Wangi). Tel: +60 3 2698 8108. Hours: Tues-Sun 8am-5pm.

Chicken Rice (Nasi Ayam) 2

soy sauce are wok-fried with shrimp, squid, greens and crackling. The dish was invented in 1927 at a hawker stall in Chinatown’s Petaling Street. Still in operation, Kim Lian Kee is now a full restaurant with a large menu, but dinersin-the-know go here to find out what nearly a century of wok hei (the breath of the wok) tastes like. 2F, 49 Jalan Petaling. Tel: +60 3 2032 4984. Hours: Mon-Tues & Thurs-Sun 11am-11pm (closed every second Wed of the month).

Steamed Rice Noodle Rolls (Chee Cheong Fun) Roasted chicken rice is, well, roasted, while the Hainan version is slow poached in stock. Both are great – and not just because they are served with rice stirfried with aromatic ginger and garlic and cooked in schmaltz to an oily, addictive finish. Grab the Hainan version of this dish at Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Wong Kee, a kopitiam that houses the Hai Lam Chicken Rice stall. The meat on these birds is downright silky, and you can order a side of the best siew yoke (crispy pork belly) in town from the coffee shop’s main vendors. 30 Jalan Nyonya, Off Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur. Tel: +60 3 2145 2512. Hours: noon3pm (closed first Mon & Tues of the month and on all public holidays).

Nasi Lemak

A staple throughout the world, meat skewers translate well in most cuisines, but Malaysia’s version gets an extra kick from the dipping sauce, a spicy peanut concoction that will keep you coming back for more. For the best version of this in KL, head to Capital Café. The kopitiam hosts multiple vendors, but the satay man (known as Kamaruddin, a third generation fanner of the charcoal flames) comes at 5pm and grills fatty Javanese beef, when he’s not catering private events at the Seri Menanti Palace.

You can’t visit KL and not try Malaysia’s national dish. The “fatty rice” gets its rich texture from coconut milk and is served with a boiled egg, sweet or spicy sambal (chili paste), fried anchovies and roasted

You've probably had these stuffed with roasted pork or youtiao at dim sum, but KL has so many versions of the rice noodle roll, they might be unrecognisable. For one take, head to Imbi Market, a wet market with a hawker centre out back, to try Ah Fook’s version of the dish. Sliced rice noodle rolls are topped with deep-fried tofu, drizzled in sweet sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Almost as good as the food itself is the charming owner – just let him choose your toppings for you, if you aren’t sure which to order. Imbi Market, Jalan Melati (near Jalan Kampung). Tel: No phone. Hours: Tues-Sun 6am-11am.

Where To Stay: Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur

Banana Leaf Rice Named for the “dish” it is served on, banana leaf is a South Indian meal to itself: rice, vegetables, pickles and curries all piled atop a leaf and crowned with crunchy papadom. You’re supposed to eat with your right hand only, although many places provide cutlery, and when you finish fold your leaf from the top down towards you and hold it down with cup or utensil– that’s your way of telling the chef you liked it. A hidden gem in the predominantly Indian neighbourhood of Brickfields, Yarl’s Restaurant is run by Sri Lankan Tamil refugees. The inexpensive curries and vegetables are served buffet-style, which is good because you’ll want to keep piling them up to try them all.

50 Jalan Padang Belia, Brickfields. Tel: +60 10 360 6624. Hours: Tues-Sun 7am-10pm.

hen it comes to eating well in KL, the Shangri-La knows the deal. In addition to having five on-site restaurants, they also host an al fresco farmer’s market next to their garden maze every Saturday. The same suppliers who help make up their brunch spread at Lemon Garden Café bring in organic produce and fresh, sustainably-sourced seafood, all at market prices. By 2017, more than half of the food served at the Shangri-La’s restaurants will be locally-sourced – an impressive feat made all the more delicious by the cornucopia of tropical fruits available in the area. By the time KL’s late afternoon thunderstorms roll in, it is the perfect time to head to the Horizon Club Lounge for happy hour. And their shaded outdoor pool makes for an excellent way to while away the day between meals. Web: www.shangri-la.com

Trader’s Hotel J

ust across KLCC Park from the Petronas Towers, Trader’s Hotel offers panoramic views of the twin skyscrapers. Whether you’re working off the Hokkien mee at the gym or waking up from a food coma in your room, you’ll have an unbeatable vista – but none can beat the one from SkyBar on the hotel’s 33rd floor. This rooftop indoor pool by day turns into one of the city’s most exciting clubs after the sun sets. Reserve a cabana by the water to make sure you get floor-to-ceiling views of the 88-storey towers. Web: www.shangri-la.com

Laksa

Street Food

There are so many regional variations on this noodle soup that the umbrella term “laksa” covers all manner of sins. Most come with either a spicy coconut broth or a sour fish soup, often with curry, and feature rice noodles and prawns or chicken. Head to the Madras Lane wet market in Chinatown to try the curry laksa or asam laksa from any of the no-name stalls. Asam laksa, a Penang-style soup noodle broth, is flavoured with tamarind fruit, making it distinctively sour.

If you’ve never experienced Malaysian street food, then start at Jalan Alor. The street started as the city’s red light district, but now serves up its fun in the form of sizzling hot food. Sure, it’s a bit touristy now, but that means all the menus will come in English. Don’t miss Wong Ah Wah’s legendary chicken wings at the top of the street – you won’t find anything better the whole block, but you’ll have a lot of fun trying.

What To See In Xi’an Apart From The Terracotta Warriors By Newman Tours’ guide, Jack Greatrex

Many people fly in to Xi’an with just enough time to rush around the Terracotta Warriors, grab a couple of selfies and fly out. But to spend so little time in a city that has so much to offer is to miss out – badly. Here’s the lowdown on what else to check out next time you’re in China’s ancient capital.

Lama had actually been dead for sixteen years and the Tibetans had just not bothered to tell them.

How Bazaar Xi’an was the greatest city in China for over a thousand years after the First Emperor was buried with his Warriors in 221 BC. Indeed, at certain points in its history it could proudly claim to be a true worldbeater. During the Tang Dynasty (617-907AD), for example, Xi’an was known as Chang’an, and became the first city in in the world with a population of over a million people. It was a thriving Eurasian melting pot, and its position at the end of the Silk Road made it into a bustling traders’ paradise. Indeed, even the Chinese word ‘dongxi’ (东西), which literally means ‘East/West’, but has now come to mean ‘things’, is thought to derive from the huge markets that were located to the east and west of the city centre. The vibrancy of China’s former capital can still be seen today in the city’s Hui Muslim District, with its busy markets, delicious foods and sudden oases of silence in its elaborately decorated Chinese-style mosques. To walk down the streets of the Muslim District is to see, feel and smell Xi’an at its most lively – it means passing innumerable stalls selling steaming fresh nang breads, meat pies, pao mo soup, peanut toffee, being hammered with mallets and flung backand-forth onto hooks, as well as anything imaginable you might want to take home as a gift. When the bustle of the Muslim District becomes too much, quietness can be found only moments away by turning into the traditional, serene Chinese household of the illustrious Gao Family, or the Dapiyuan and magisterial Grand Mosques, which blend Arabic and traditional Chinese styles to form a unique intermingling of cultures. The Grand Mosque is among only a few mosques in the world where Chinese pagodas work as minarets. It’s certainly the only one where devout, teetotal Muslims pray next to a tortoise statue hosting an engraved poem by the raging alcoholic, Mi Fu, on its shell! Gao Fu Mansion: 10am to 10pm. RMB 15. 200 Bei Yuan Men Xi. Tel: 029 8723 2897 Great Mosque: 8am to 7:30pm. RMB 25. 30 Huajue Alley, Xincheng District

Wall-To-Wall Fun Even when no longer the capital, Xi’an was still one of the most important cities for China – and needed to be defended, especially from the vicious barbarians coming down from the north. Hence the city walls, which sit as a thick, tall edifice surrounding the city. There is nothing like cycling over their cobbles at dusk with the wall’s red lanterns lit and golden lights shining under the flying eaves of the gatehouses. Whether you cycle them or walk them, there are nuggets of strange history to stop by and look down on – the Guangren Monastery, for instance, designed for the seventh Dalai Lama on his visits to Beijing, but only after the Chinese had realised that the sixth Dalai

Wancheng Gate Entrance To The City Wall: 1 to 30 April, 8am to 6pm. 1 May to 31 October, 8am to 7pm. RMB 54 for adults, RMB 27 for children, free for small children. Shuncheng Alley, Beilin District

Tang Buddhism – And The Tang-InCheek Novel It Inspired Not only Islam, but also Buddhism thrived – and thrives - in Xi’an’s Guangren and Daxingshan temples, but above all in the city’s Wild Goose Pagodas. These are both monumental testimonies to the importance of Buddhism in the ancient capital – and the solemn chanting and wisps of incense that accompany you as you walk around them still have great allure. Each is an ancient relic, made smaller by war, over-ambitious engineering and earthquakes. The Small Wild Goose Pagoda still displays damage

from the 1557 Shaanxi earthquake, which snatched several floors away from this giant Buddhist jenga set, and took more than 800,000 lives in what still remains the world’s most deadly earthquake. The Great Wild Goose Pagoda on the other hand is the site to which the legendary monk, Xuanzang, returned after his sixteen years as a wandering monk across Central Asia and India. This inspired a tongue-in-cheek retelling of the real monk’s journey entitled Journey to the West, which enhances his adventures with the addition of the Monkey King, Pigsy and Sandy. The Great Wild Goose Pagoda was the holiest site in Xi’an, and is also said to be the place where monk Xuanzang and the Monkey King rose to become Buddhas. Pigsy on the other hand was given a considerably lower position as the Cleaner of Altars because of his many acts of greed. However, since that makes him responsible for hoovering up the food and drink offerings left on the temple’s altars, one suspects

he is more than happy with the soft drinks, fruits and other delectables at his disposal. After supposedly battling water demons, defeating Daoist monks in trials of decapitation, boiling and competitive meditation, and restoring the spirit of a usurped king to its body, monk Xuanzang arrived back at the Great Wild Goosed Pagoda where he introduced a strange form of mystical Buddhism to China, which included extreme worship of the Bodhisattva Guanyin – with one monk ending up reciting a sutra dedicated to her 37,000 times over his career as a professional monk-cum-Guanyin-chanter. Small Wild Goose Pagoda: Wednesday to Monday, 9am to 5pm. Free to enter temple, RMB 30 to ascend pagoda. 72 Youyi Xi Lu, Beilin District. Closest subway station: Nanshaomen Exit B2 Great Wild Goose Pagoda: Sunday to Saturday, 8am to 5pm. RMB 50, RMB 30 to ascend pagoda. Yanta Nan Lu, Yanta District. Closest bus station: Dayan Pagoda, lines 5, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27

And Much, Much More This is not to mention the numerous other jewels of the city: there are ancient remains of Banpo Village, with its burial customs as unfathomable as those of the First Emperor, complete with fire-making displays, rebuilt huts and even a totemic phallus! Then there are the stately steles in the Beilin ‘Forest of Steles’ Museum, including the first evidence of Christianity in the form of the Nestorian Stele, plus huge stone reliefs depicting the ‘great steeds’ of Emperor Li Shimin. And last but not least, there are the remains of the Tang Dynasty Daming Palace, which is an incredible four times the size of the Forbidden City in Beijing. All of the above, and many places besides, can be explored with an expert native English speaking Newman Tours’ guide. Their informative and entertaining tours include Monkey King Tours, Muslim District Tours, Terracotta Warrior Excursions, Shaanxi Museum Tours, Tang Dynasty (Daming Palace) Tours, Stone Forest Tours, and Banpo Neolithic Village Tours. In addition, they offer Tailored One Day and Two Day Xi'an Tours,

Plumpness, Perfume And Putrefaction: The Shaanxi Museum! Not to be missed either is Shaanxi Museum – an enormous collection of Chinese antiquities which rivals anything to be found in Beijing or Shanghai. Here you can see more examples of the Terracotta Warriors, and the fearsome stone armour that has been found near them – sets of putrefacient pebbles threaded together with wire to keep away those nasty demons that cause a corpse’s decay. Or, more charmingly, there are ornate goose-shaped lamps from the Tang dynasty, as well as sculptures of the famous camels that brought goods into the capital from Central Asia, and the sculptures of famously plump Tang Dynasty beauties. If that isn’t enough, then there is also the Xi’an Museum, just next door to the Small Wild Goose Pagoda: a collection which charts the glories of Xi’an across its hundreds of years as a capital. Shaanxi Museum: Tuesday to Sunday, 8:30am to 9:30pm between March and November. Admission free; passport required. 91 Xiaozhai Dong Lu, Yanta District Xi’an Museum: Admission free; passport required. Wednesday to Monday, 9am to 5pm. 72 Youyi Xi Lu, Beilin District. Closest metro station: Nanshaomen, Exit A2
