Editor's Note

July

Ah, the heat of summer. The sweltering, smothering, smoldering heat of summer. It’s weather like this that makes one want to escape to island paradises, to far-flung lands where there’s nothing to do but throw back chilled cervezas and read an improving book or two. Yet, for those of us who don’t set our clocks by school time, there is no two-month holiday to savor. It really makes one yearn to chuck in the whole office job malarkey and take up a life of remote working. Inspired by these procrastinations, this month’s lead feature is all about the good life – and by that we mean the life of digital nomads, those lucky individuals who take full advantage of our Internet-connected world to set up office in a rustic hut (that miraculously also has high-speed Wi-Fi) and work from wherever they want on the Earth. That’s not to say they don’t work full time; it’s just that they work full time from the comforts of an adorable coffee shop in rural Philippines or laid-back Thailand. Intrigued? Inspired? Turn to p10 to discover more about how you could make the dream a reality. For those of us who follow the China zeitgeist, there is one big topic that’s on everyone’s lips: theme parks. With Disney’s mega new opening in Shanghai and homegrown giant Wanda throwing down the gauntlet, there’s plenty to be excited about for adrenaline junkies chasing the rush of a roller coaster and the refreshing splash of the log flume. Summer is typically the time to take advantage of an amusement park, and so this month’s cover story is dedicated to just that topic. Turn to p34 for not just in-depth looks at the Middle Kingdom’s new attractions, but also a rundown of the country’s top spots for thrills and spills. Got some free time on your hands? Why not take up the art of origami? This month’s photo essay shows how one piece of paper can be transmogrified into something as detailed as the feathered wings of a bird or the pleated dress of an anime character (p14). Perhaps you're a foodie in search of that perfect loaf – with several new bakery openings in Guangzhou, we’ve ranked all the newcomers so you can target the best ones (p54). In Shenzhen, on the other hand, cool off with our picks of the chilliest treats in town (p54). For once, July doesn’t herald the death of stage and sound. Indie rockers Surfer Blood are playing around China (check out p28 for our interview) at the same time as an exhibition on the genius of Leonardo da Vinci is opening for several months (p32). Stay frosty, PRD. Tom Lee Editor in Chief

WIN WIN WIN

In Guangzhou, a pair of tickets to indie rockers Surfer Blood (p28), a pair of tickets to the Gershwin Piano Quartet (p64), a pair of tickets to a cappella Metro Vocal Group (p64), a pair of tickets to Luigi Rubino (p64), entry passes for the 2016 International Vertical Marathon (p65), a pair of tickets to Ravel opera The Child and the Spells (p66), a pair of tickets to audiovisual fairy-tale Rick the Cube and the Time Misery (p66), a pair of tickets to Papa by Theatre de la Feuille (p66), a pair of tickets to puppet show The Star Keeper by Theatre de l'Oeil (p67), a pair of tickets to puppet show Battle Against Garbage (p67) and a pair of tickets to Madagascar Live (p67).

quote of the month

DON’T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

Jeb Corliss, AKA the 'Human Arrow' There are a lot of spectacular ways to experience the Great Wall but this one might just take the cake. Jeb Corliss, also known as the 'Human Arrow,' flew over the Great Wall on Sunday, successfully completing his signature stunt. The American base-jumper and skydiver performed his daring act over a section of the Chinese landmark in Tianjin. Dressed in a wingsuit, Corliss jumped out of a helicopter from roughly 1.83 kilometers in the air. He managed to glide precisely through the sky at a speed of 193 kilometers per hour and nail a small, fist-sized target that hung over the Great Wall. Corliss, 40, has performed similar stunts around the world, jumping from iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Space Needle in Seattle, the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro and the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. RANDOM NUMBER

China Ranked World’s Most Stressed-Out Country

Bloomberg recently published a global rankings table comparing “stress ratings” for 74 different countries using data on environmental factors and living conditions, rather than interviews or psychological questionnaires. The final results actually indicate “how stressed people in these countries will predictably be,” and not “how stressed people in these countries claim to be.” Seven factors are equally considered (homicide rates, GDP per capita, income inequality, corruption perception, unemployment, urban air pollution and life expectancy) and countries were ranked from one to 74, with one being the most stressed and 74 being the least stressed. China placed close to the middle at 29th. The most stressed country was Nigeria, while the least stressed country was Norway (other Scandinavian states came in at the bottom of the list as well). Japan, the UK and the US placed 60th, 56th and 54th, respectively. 8 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | G Z | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

"We saw a beer bottle filled with black explosive powder rolling towards us with a lit fuse." An eyewitness described the explosion at Pudong International Airport last month to That’s. The traveler was standing in the check-in line when two homemade explosives detonated, injuring five. The terrifying scene unfolded on June 12 at around 2.20pm after a man grabbed a beer bottle with explosives and hurled it towards a ticketing counter at Check-in Area C in Terminal Two. The man then took out a knife and attempted to kill himself by slashing his throat. He was taken away by police and sent to the intensive care unit. Authorities stepped up security measures at both Pudong and Hongqiao Airports following the incident. Police said the bomber was a 29-year-old migrant worker from Guizhou with a bad online gambling habit and wrote on WeChat that he was “preparing to do something completely crazy” that he would not survive.

DIGITAL NOMADS

TRAVELING THE WORLD IN SEARCH OF FAST WI-FI by Terence Collins and Natallia Slimani

“A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.” – Lao Tzu

our morning starts with a relaxing swim in the ocean and a stroll down a sandy beach. You have a lazy breakfast that flows into brunch before heading over to your office: a hammock swinging between two palm trees. You open your laptop, take a sip of fresh

coconut juice and look back on the times where you had to be at the office by 9 – without a single drop of nostalgia. Sounds like a dream, doesn't it? Ever since the book Eat, Pray, Love made it into the mass consciousness,

many a high-level professional has closed his or her eyes in a fancy top-floor office and imagined what it might be like to drop the suit and briefcase for the adventure of a lifetime. For some, it was more than a passing fancy, and many of those who used to contemplate traveling the world with a laptop have actually gone and done just that. Faster Internet speeds, compact gadgetry and a more widespread understanding of online capabilities have all played their part. Whether they call themselves digital nomads, telecommuters or freelancers (new terms are being coined as we speak), the number of people riding the wave of progressive technological advances is growing. In fact, three out of five North American workers recently surveyed stated that they can (and are willing to) work remotely. But wait. Before you hand in that notice, there are quite a few things to think about. 1 0 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | G Z | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

HOW TO GET STARTED Have a passport, a saleable skill and an itch to escape the office? Then you have the qualifications to be a digital nomad – a term, by the way, many remote workers dislike; but it’s the sign the press has hung on them, and it has stuck. So, what exactly is a digital nomad? Put simply, someone who makes their living online, thus allowing them to enjoy an itinerant, gypsy lifestyle, working anywhere in the world. Estimates indicate that over 90 percent of those currently choosing this modus operandi are men. Without a good Internet connection, digital nomads are dead in the water. One person we spoke to had to leave China because of its web restrictions – Google, Facebook and Twitter are blocked – and slow network speeds. He found it almost impossible to communicate with his clients around the world. Perhaps you were planning to run off to a secluded beach to begin your new desk-free life? Think again. If the Wi-Fi is sub-par, you’re sunk. All serious remote workers we spoke to said a great work area other than your home or neighborhood coffee shops was a must-have. Enter coworking spaces. A recent development, co-working spaces have emerged as places for great Wi-Fi, a comfortable, high-tech environment and socializing with the tribe. Pay a monthly fee and you never know who you may meet and what possibilities might emerge – either working for someone or collaborating with them. The biggest problem is often how to finance the

WHERE TO GO Wi-Fi and cost of living will be your guiding stars to nomadic bliss. Of course, there is no dismissing the emotional component – you may simply have strong feelings for this or that spot on the globe. One first-rate resource to help you make an informed decision is Nomad List (nomadlist.com). Founded four years ago by a digital nomad who found necessary information on cities, visa, Wi-Fi speed, climate and other details scarce, he set out to gather it himself. Initially crowdsourcing facts and presenting them in an Excel spreadsheet, the demand and success morphed his basic site into a little pearl that’s now recognized as the de facto Wikipedia for parsing all a city’s variables, in order to decide whether to stake your digital claim to Sao Paulo, Shenzhen, Barcelona or any of the other 100-plus cities he showcases. With that said, certain cities have become particularly popular in the digital nomad community. Quite unexpectedly, the very best one is just a three-hour flight away.

Chiang Mai, Thailand – The Number-One Destination for Digital Nomads

vagabond dream. Even if you have a very useful skill, such as a Ruby on Rails developer, you’ll need to hook up with a paying client who will recognize and reward your abilities. The solution is marketing – SALES and marketing. Cringe, horror, you mean I have to sell? Afraid so. Unless you’ve negotiated a move from permanent employee to contractor with your present employer (that’s the perfect combination), you’ll need to match your skills with someone who needs them. You need the hunger of a starving man and the drive of a Nanshan District cabbie. Although many nomads fear and abhor selling, the successful realize it’s essential. It’s also a talent that’s not difficult to learn, and you can find help. In fact, the digital nomad movement has gained such proportions that a sizeable support ecosystem has emerged to make this vital component easier.

Here are a few places that can help in finding your first contract: • AngelList – AL zeroes in on a great employment sector, the startup market, which is generally open to remote, contract positions. In fact, its tagline says 18,335 of the world’s best startups are hiring on AngelList. The site has great search capability and prides itself on complete transparency, with remuneration details revealed for each job. Angel.co • Problogger – Founder Darren Rouse is a respected, veteran blogger who offers great tips for promoting yourself and finding freelance jobs, not just as writers/bloggers, but in a variety of other marketingtype jobs as well. He has an active job board which is updated daily. Take a peek and you’ll find hiring employers ranging from startups to established, respected Internet companies. Jobs.problogger.net • Remoteok – Hundreds of jobs here, mostly in high-tech companies, many of them start-ups. With a very clean interface and easy-to-search database that allows users to filter results by type, you can find results by location, pay range and whether the job can be done remotely. Remoteok.io • Meetup – A great resource for networking and finding job opportunities. Meetups are available in most major cities throughout the world and bring together people who share common interests. Simply search for nomad, tech, marketing or job gatherings in your city. For instance, the site lists both a Guangzhou Remote Workers meetup and an Internet Startups meetup in Shenzhen. Meetup.com

Where Bangkok offers buzz, nightlife and excitement, Chiang Mai gives you nature, a more relaxed lifestyle and great outdoor sports. Nestled in the mountains up north, 427 miles from Thailand’s capital, it’s the country’s second largest city and an outdoorsman’s Mecca. You can enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking and a variety of other invigorating pursuits. Those who live here have emigrated from fast-paced, high-octane metropolises for a quieter, more laid-back experience. Nomad List named it the number-one destination for digital nomads. Why? Because it tops the charts for cost of living, climate, Internet speed, low crime and access to fellow remote workers. In addition to its 300-plus Buddhist temples, low-priced massages and over 400 restaurants, it has one of the world’s best co-working facilities, Punspace. The company hosts two well-furnished locations,

w w w.t h at s m a g s . c o m | G Z | J u n e 2 0 1 6 | 1 1

ci t y | Fe at ure

restaurants on-site, 24/7 access and blazing-fast Wi-Fi for a mere 3,500 baht (RMB650) per month. According to one of Punspace’s early members, Bibi Shand, a 51-year-old Lithuanian mobile app developer, Chiang Mai is beloved for good reason. “I’ve been here, off and on, for almost five years. Chiang Mai is the best price performer in Asia, offers the best restaurants and attracts an intriguing international crowd of tourists, professional gypsies and guest lecturers at Chiang Mai University. I love its unpretentious, New Age feel. It helps me balance my hectic work life. I hesitate to sing this city’s praises too loudly. I don’t want to see it get ruined.” Shand also notes that Chiang Mai’s proximity to Myanmar and other Southeast Asian countries makes travel easy and inexpensive.

Davao, Philippines – Beach Paradise

The Philippines is known for its large online freelance community – even back in 2013, local freelancers were reported to have made a whopping USD76 million on Elance (since rebranded as Upworks). As with Chiang Mai, the main attractions are fast Internet, low cost of living and a large English-speaking community. Davao is the place to go those seeking palm trees and sandy beaches. With the abundance of small islands and water activities, the Philippines is a paradise for sunbathers, surfers and adrenaline junkies. “I have tried several places in Asia, but the Philippines is just the right vibe for me,” says Dan Kwatkowski, surfer, blogger and an aspiring startup founder. “Sure, Internet is not always great – you have to know places. But once you settle down, it all falls into place. I can’t imagine my life without a beach. And Davao is great for that.”

Shenzhen, China – A Good Place to Startup

When you think of a ‘slow’ life and relaxing atmosphere, Shenzhen probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind. However, the city seduces with its international vibe, proximity to Hong Kong and the ever-growing startup culture. With an abundance of tech companies looking for talent, Shenzhen serves as a promising jump-off point for your new lifestyle. Many of the city’s new tech companies are eager to hire professionals, but are often not able to offer an attractive fulltime package. This makes for some good negotiating ground and may lead to a stable telecommuting position. Bill Davis, an IT professional, first journeyed to China all the way back in 2001. He then found full-time employment with one of the local companies and worked 9-to-6 days for four years. “I was eager to learn about China, study the language, meet the people, and was actually hoping to put it all into a book later on,” he recalls. “But I soon realized that I was being naive. Working full time left me with no ‘me’ time, and traveling during public holidays was a major hassle. It then dawned on me that I would be leaving China without knowing anything about it.” The grim realization led Davis to quit his job. He spent over six months looking for a freelance position and settled in Shenzhen. Now, he has several stable clients and enough time to see the world. “Shenzhen just has all I need,” he says. “I can easily hop on a train to almost any town in China, plus there is Hong Kong Airport. I can be in Thailand or Bali within a few hours.”

PROS

– Visa challenges – Some countries are more lenient than others, and some passports have greater cachet. The nomad grapevine can be helpful in learning what’s what in the country you’re in, but you better get used to border runs; they’re an unavoidable part of the dance. – Miss out on family events – Weddings, births, funerals. Life on the road has many positives, but you will miss family events when they are taking place 10,000 miles away. That may be a blessing or not, depending on your point of view. Skype, Google Hangouts and other video chat apps can greatly reduce the distance. – No stable home – This may be an issue or not, depending on your priorities and life choices. Some nomads find one or two cities they fall in love with and migrate between them, proving ‘home’ bears different definitions for everyone. – Time zone differences – If you’re living in Hong Kong and your Chicago client schedules a 3pm conference call, it means you need to be up at 2am. Since many clients are in other parts of the world, time zone accommodation is part of the job.

CONS

CONCLUSION

+ Permanent release from cubicle hell – Enough said; if you’ve been there, you understand how important this is. + Set your own hours – Are you most productive from 9pm to 4am? Have at it. If you can deliver on time and as committed, you can work any hours you choose. That’s freedom. + Geographic mobility – Live wherever you desire and move whenever your feet get itchy. + Pick and choose your projects – With in-demand skills and the resources to hear about new opportunities, you can work on a series of shortterm, full-time contracts or take on multiple long-term, part-time ones. We talked to people who’d been in the field a couple of years and found most of their work comes from referrals. It pays to cultivate contacts and over-deliver. + Meet and work with interesting people – Follow the example of Chad, a Singaporean nomad who works with developers in Colombia, Belarus and Romania. “These bright techies are not only my project lifelines, but some become my friends. They’re interesting people with exciting lives, and we share a lot.”

So, are you still planning to write – Eat what you kill – Some that resignation letter? A nomadic lifenomads love their work but style may not be for everyone, but there cringe when selling and are useful lessons to be learned from the marketing themselves. That trend. The fact that technology is now letting spells disaster and could us even consider exploring the world with a boomerang you back to laptop is nothing short of amazing. It’s a temptthe corporate cubicle. ing idea, one that’s catching on. According to Successful nomads use certain forecasts, by 2035 there will be one bilcontacts and networking lion remote workers. That’s a population larger to develop relationships than that of Europe, South America or North and a steady pipeline of America. And they will all be wireless. work.

The Modern Art of Origami

1 4 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | G Z | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

by Tristin Zhang

hen the subject of origami is mentioned, most people think of flapping birds and children’s toys. While that’s certainly where the craft began, it has since been developed into an intricate and demanding aesthetic form. From mammoths, dragons and unicorns to facsimiles of Predator, Yoda and Snoopy, the modern art of origami has introduced a realm of unlimited possibilities and fragile beauty. Beyond visual pleasure, its techniques have also been applied in the fields of mathematics and engineering. For instance, origami has been used to perfect automotive airbag deployment and space telescopes. Stretching back to the Tokugawa period (1603-1868) in Japan, origami was originally a kiddy diversion. The well-known paper crane figure is a classic example; easy to fold and taking less than five minutes to mold in experienced hands. You would think that for something which has been around for hundreds of years, everything that could have been done with it would have been done with it. However, it was raised to a new level of ingenuity in the last century by Japanese origamist Akira Yoshizawa, who created hundreds of thousands of new models. His most significant contribution was ‘wet folding,’ a technique that employs water to make manipulations of the paper easier. Objects assembled through wet folding have a sculptural finish to them, and it was this that helped reshape public perceptions of origami as an art form. Today, with the help of computer programming, origami has developed in a more technical sense. Using math and engineering principles to formulate crease patterns (based on which the paper is folded) allows artists to devise complicated human effigies and multi-

Folds scaled snakes. Still, the reason for origamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal remains the same as ever: the inventive way a single sheet of paper can be transformed, by dexterous folding alone, into everything from a dragon to the grim reaper. Zhang Chi is a freelance designer based in Panyu, Guangzhou. He developed his paper-craft hobby at a young age. In 2006, through a Chinese bulletin board system called Tianya Forum, he first learned about the non-cut models of modern Japanese origami done via wet folding. He has been practicing the skill ever since. When Zhang started, people in China were replicating origami patterns designed and published online by foreign enthusiasts. Zhang was initially the same, but unlike those who took pleasure in following in the creases of others, he was creative and insightful enough to learn how to make his own templates. The results have been acclaimed by his peers. Here are some of Zhangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phenomenal origami models, all of which required days of complex designing and folding.

Straight to Your Doorstep Baidu Takeout Deliveryman by Tristin Zhang

hen Google extended its services to the field of shopping delivery in America, Baidu’s copycat mavens must have been wondering, “What can we do in China?” The answer they came up with was takeout. After raising approximately USD300 million at the end of 2015, the web giant’s O2O vessel, Baidu Waimai, set sail into the sea of food delivery service with a fleet of electrical bikes. Deliverymen on company velocipedes, attired in bright red uniforms and hats, shuttle to and fro between restaurants, coffee shops or bakeries and houses, apartments or offices through a warren of streets, competing against time and weather. When Lai Jinbao launched into his first day as a deliveryman for Baidu Waimai in Guangzhou, it was a mess. “It was confusing. I wasn’t familiar with routes and locations. I had to refer to the map on my phone and could only do one delivery in a run,” recalls Lai. He is one of 60 Baidu Waimai employees in the commercially active Taojin area. This is Lai’s first job in Guangzhou, a city which he has been in for only three months.

The Jiangxi native is working for a wage of RMB3,000 per month plus ‘reward earning,’ the amount of which is based on the number of orders accomplished as well as ratings from customers and businesses. Orders are automatically distributed to him by Baidu’s system, which also sets him a maximum delivery time. If he exceeds the time, he receives no rewards. “But it only happens with novices,” explains Lai. His work is recorded in Baidu’s internal app, which is specifically designed for Baidu Waimai staff. Lai starts his day at 10am and must work eight hours. He receives orders in the app, confirms with the clients, plans out the route in his mind, picks up the packages, drops them off and waits for more orders to come in. “Now I can deliver three or four packages at a time,” he boasts. The app keeps his score marked according to the number of five-star ratings received, which decides his rank. His rank in return decides the size of reward he can earn per order. Lai is currently a ‘God’s Rider,’ a title that carries with it an additional 1.8 kuai per order. “We have a quality-control supervisor who takes photos of us to ensure that we ap-

pear clean and professional and that we obey traffic rules. We are told to never put packages on the ground,” Lai remarks. “We are picked on sometimes, especially by those running small businesses in wholesale markets. They are picky and have no courtesy. Some don’t even thank you. It’s the worst.” According to Baidu, its delivery service covers over 100 cities and boasts a total of 30 million registered members in China as of November 2015. For most people, it’s simply a way to make metropolitan life easier. For Lai Jinbao, it’s a way to explore and adapt to a strange new city.

Soothing Stress A little stress is a natural part of life – it motivates you and warns you of danger. Too much, however, can make life miserable and is terrible for your health. Proper stress management is one of the basic requirements for well-being. When you think of ways to control it, having acupuncture needles poked into you and then left in place for 30 minutes or drinking a murky herbal tea made from boiling a mixture of twigs, roots and minerals may not immediately spring to mind, but both are actually very relaxing. Maybe you’re wondering, ‘what’s so bad about stress anyway?’ Or maybe you’re someone who achieves more when stress is high. From a Chinese medical standpoint, stress causes stagnation in the circulation of energy in your body. This is turn will impair blood circulation, cause muscle tension, disrupt some organ functions, deplete energy levels and unsettle emotions. In the short term, stress leads to a range of unpleasant symptoms like anxiety, poor mental clarity, fatigue, headaches, muscle tension, change in appetite and insomnia. If stress persists for longer periods, it weakens your immunity, affects hormone lev-

els and slows your body’s healing and repair processes. Left untreated, it increases your risk of chronic health problems like heart disease, autoimmune disorders, depression and gastro-intestinal diseases, and exacerbates many pre-existing health problems like asthma, skin conditions, chronic pain and high blood pressure. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help you feel less stressed and address many related health problems. The combination is soothing, and for many people the effect is immediate. The treatment rebalances the flow of qi through the energy pathways of your body,

Fitness

Just because we hit the summer months, that doesn’t mean we should stop training. Unfortunately, it does for a lot of you out there. When we’re in the holiday mindset, the excuses start piling up. “There’s no gym.” “I’m too busy visiting all my family.” “I have so much to get done while I’m back home.” “Relax we’re on holiday, let’s just go to the beach.” I could name a thousand other reasons that I hear from my clients year after year. You may be fooling yourself, but you’re not fooling me! I’ve spent the last several months battling my own health issues. This humbling experience has taught me never to take my body and health for granted, but it also makes it even less believable when people neglect their bodies. We all have 24 hours in a day. We all have busy lives. We all have our own mental or physical obstacles, whether they are big or small. And all of these things are relevant.

and you will often feel relief when you get off the table at the end of a session. If the source of your stress is short lived or has already passed, then just a couple treatments should be enough. However, if stress is ongoing or extreme, or if it has already led to chronic health issues, then treatment will take longer and will likely include both acupuncture and herbal medicine. You can use Chinese medicine as an ongoing relaxation technique and to try and reduce the likelihood that recurrent stress will lead to chronic health problems. Ultimately, though, if you are regularly so stressed that your well-being is affected, then you probably need to be making some changes in your daily life. These changes may be simple time management adjustments, or they may involve more major change like leaving your job, but they should be addressed. Otherwise, you may be stuck with your stress-related symptoms indefinitely.

In the end though, we only have one body. So do you want to live healthily, feel good and look good? This should be an easy question to answer ‘yes’ to!

Humen Opium War Museum Dongguan’s reputation is a somewhat murky one. In the plus column, it is a powerful manufacturing base, a beacon of productivity in the region. On the other hand, it also houses one of the largest, emptiest shopping malls in the world, a classic hubristic construction. Even more memorably, the city remains a byword all over the country for prostitution, even though the industry has been strongly curtailed by repeated police raids. But long before its modern-day notoriety as a sex haven, Dongguan was famed throughout the land for a different illicit activity: drug smuggling. In fact, it was here that the fuse was lit for one of the most explosive events of Chinese history, the Opium Wars. Located in Humen, a town within the borders of Dongguan city, the Opium War Museum is a reminder of those controversial conflicts. Also known as the Lin Zexu Memorial Museum, it is dedicated to the man who stood firm in the face of the foreign powers pedaling their mind-numbing wares.

Though his actions inadvertently led to China’s invasion by Western forces, today he is lauded for his uncompromising morals and true patriotism. Stepping off the bus at the memorial park, the atmosphere is surprisingly peaceful. A large open area greets you with monuments, walkways and the first major highlight of your trip: a flower-filled lake in the shade of tall trees. Most visitors take their time here, snapping photos and strolling around the water. As you walk further, a row of cannons greets you at the entrance to the museum. Unlike most local museums, the Lin Zexu Memorial uses clear, well-worded (though at times direct and even harsh) English descriptions, and by the time you make it to the third-floor exhibition hall, you will have all the dates and names you need, accompanied by plenty of visuals. The exhibition is centered on the spring of 1839, when massive amounts of opium were destroyed – a crackdown led and initiated by Lin Zexu, Chinese scholar and official for the Qing Dynasty. The museum’s galleries don’t go into too much detail describing the actual Opium Wars, instead focusing on the occurrences leading up to them and how local lifestyle was affected by colonial activity and the opium trade. Unless you plan on spending the whole day within the museum’s modest walls, you will also have time to explore Humen. The small factory town is unexpectedly green and

offers a few other attractions, like the Sea Battle Museum, Keyuan Garden (created in 1850 during the Qing Dynasty), Shajiao Fort and more morsels to satiate your craving for local history. NS

How to Get There

From Shenzhen there are two options. Take a bus from Luohu Bus Station to Humen Bus Station, then take a city bus (3A) or taxi to the museum. Alternatively, go to Shenzhen North Railway Station, take a high-speed train to Humen Railway Station and take a taxi to the museum. Both journeys take a total of about two hours from the city center. From Guangzhou, take a 20-minute train from the South Railway Station to Humen Railway Station, then a 20-minute taxi to the museum. Entry is free.

Luxury on the Go A Look at the Travel Habits of Young Chinese Luxury Jetsetters By Dominic Ngai

2 0 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | G Z | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

he image of various inappropriate or uncivilized (bu wenming) behaviors in public may have once been the stereotype designated to Chinese travelers, but the

times are a-changin’ as a young generation of jetsetters from the Middle Kingdom become much more internationally minded and economically powerful.

n May 30, hundreds gathered at the Shanghai Exhibition Centre for the International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) Asia 2016 – a four-day exhibition and conference attended by high-end hotel brands, travel agencies and media from around the globe. On the stage was Hurun Report chairman and chief researcher Rupert Hoogewerf, who addressed the audience with a discussion on “why China’s Gen Y is driving global luxury” at the opening forum. The topic was chosen in association with the release of the ‘Chinese Luxury Traveler 2016’ report by his company and Marriott International that same week, which sheds light on the travel habits of high net worth adults from 12 first- and second-tier cities born after 1980, who spend an average of RMB420,000 on travel per household each year. Research was conducted on 525 individuals who fit the requirements, surveying them on their favorite travel destinations, hotel and airline preferences, overseas consumption patterns, sources for travel recommendations and more. Miki Tang is currently the lifestyle director of women’s luxury magazine Richesse and former fashion and lifestyle editor for the Chinese editions of Robb Report, Leon and InStyle. She embodies the spirit of a young and savvy luxury traveler. A week after ILTM, we met at Aunn, one of the hippest cafes in Jing’an – a location chosen by her. The media industry veteran is also the author of Around the World in High Heels (高跟鞋走地球), a series of travel guidebooks incorporating Sex and the City-esque romance story elements set in popular travel destinations. The first of the series (on Paris and Seoul) was released in September 2015 along with her WeChat subscription account of the same name, which boasts nearly 100,000 followers. A travel video collaboration with online streaming platform iQiyi.com is in production, while a silver screen adaptation inspired by her book is planned for a 2017 release. According to Hurun’s ‘Chinese

I think there’s a change in the Chinese attitude to spending money; they are more willing to spend more on an experience – such as travel – instead of just buying actual products like shoes or handbags

Luxury Traveler 2016’ report, respondents revealed that official accounts like High Heels and their friends’ WeChat moments are their major travel information sources (48 and 47 percent, respectively), while traditional media such as TV, newspapers, SMS ads and cold calls were at the bottom of the list, used by only 7-22 percent of respondents. Gathering recommendations from Tang's work contacts in the fashion industry around the globe, ‘High Heels’ focuses more on the trendiest places in each city where the creative types hang out, rather than the most obvious, tourist-y parts of town that she is obliged to report on when she’s working for someone else. “As an editor, the stories that you cover are often limited by the positioning and style of publication or adver-

tisers. I’ve always wanted to start my own thing, something with an overarching theme of qingshe [轻奢, which directly translates to ‘light luxury’],” says Tang of the reason why she started High Heels three years ago. She’s referring to the idea of spreading the gospel of spending money on travel, but doing so in a smart way, to her target audience: mostly stylish, financially independent and well-educated women. One of her travel philosophies, especially for solo female travelers, is to stay at a good hotel even if it means paying more. “For example, if I’m going somewhere for four nights, I’d stay in one of the most iconic or signature hotels of the city for two nights. For the rest of the trip, I’d move to a contemporary, design-focused boutique hotel, which are cheaper.” Another tip is about

2 2 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | G Z | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

Michelin-starred restaurants. “There are ‘smart’ ways to enjoy them, such as visiting at lunch or ordering their tasting menu,” she explains. Tang and her peers are the faces of an emerging market segment that new hotels want to tap into. According to the Hurun survey, young luxury travelers’ hotel budgets average RMB3,113 per room per night, while France is listed as the most popular destination in Europe and one of the top favorite shopping destinations among the respondents. La Reserve Paris, one of the newest hotels in the French capital, is located next to Champs-Elysees in the 160-year-old former residence of French statesman Dike de Morny. Opened in February, the property was restored as a chic yet classical 19th-century-style Parisian urban mansion, offering 26

suites and 14 rooms. The hotel’s CEO Didier Le Calvez is confident that their offerings will satisfy the increasingly discerning palates of young luxury Chinese travelers, who view “personalized services,” “unique brand style” and “artistic design” (in addition to room conditions) as the most important decisionmaking factors when choosing a hotel. “La Reserve hotels are focused on the Chinese clientele,” he tells me. “In Paris, we’re able to offer tailor-made and on-demand Chinese breakfasts, while our Geneva property has Tse Fung, an upscale Chinese restaurant with 19 Cantonese chefs working in the kitchen.” Le Calvez also adds that La Reserve is fully aware that WeChat is the perfect channel to communicate with the Chinese clientele, hence an official WeChat account is launching in July. Besides featuring news from its properties, the account will also share lifestyle and wine-related content (the owner Michel Reybier has a vineyard in Bordeaux) to its followers. Halfway across the Atlantic in the US (the number-one

business travel destination for young Chinese luxury travelers), Dream Hotels is gearing up for the grand opening of its Los Angeles outpost this fall. Director of Hotel Sales at Dream Hollywood, Matthew Yoakum, is ready and excited to receive this new generation of Chinese luxury jetsetters. Their sister properties in New York and Miami have already seen a five to six percent average yearon-year increase in the number of Chinese visitors. “Dream Hotels have always been in the forefront of engaging technology. We have the advantage of building a hotel from scratch, integrating both technology and comfort into the luxury of our property. Not only is our hotel ‘China ready,’ it’s also ready for the future,” Yoakum tells me. At this modern-style boutique hotel designed to attract a younger audience, iPad menus created with interactive multilingual software that allows you to have the entire hotel at your fingertips are standard features in all 179 rooms. “We have everything these young luxury travelers are looking for,” Yoakum adds. And he’s onto something – Matthew Yoakum, Director of Hotel Sales, Dream Hollywood

Didier Le Calvez, CEO of La Reserve Paris

More than 60 percent of the respondents in the Hurun survey cite interactive digital utilities as their favorite hotel service, coming in just behind butlers (68 percent). But it’s not just about the hardware. Like La Reserve Paris, Dream Hollywood has also solicited help from a Shanghaibased PR team to head up their WeChat account to lure potential guests from the Middle Kingdom with a soft touch. In addition to the basic hotel news and promotions, they’re also thinking of partnerships with local KOLs. “We’d like our target audience to see us while swiping their WeChat moments, giving a broader and more holistic communications architecture,” Yoakum says. Back at Aunn Café in Jing’an, Miki Tang’s observations into China’s emerging travel market left a lasting impression. Since starting out as a fashion editor nine years ago, she’s been traveling regularly for both business and leisure – often away from home for at least two weeks each month.

“When I first entered the business, I remember looking at social media platforms (Weibo at the time) and everyone was showing off new clothes and accessories they bought during their travels. Over the past few years, however, on my WeChat moments, I’ve noticed people are now more keen on posting their experiences – the trendy cafes or restaurants they’ve been to or the cool people they’ve met along the way,” she says. “I think there’s a change in the Chinese attitude to spending money; they are more willing to spend more on an experience – such as travel – instead of just buying actual products like shoes or handbags,” Tang adds. With 2016 being the first year in history when the number of billionaires in China surpassed the number in the US (according to another study by Hurun Report released in early 2016), there’s no doubt that all luxury travel providers will be looking at innovative ways to get a slice of this increasingly influential market.

This new age of Asian cinematic cooperation has never looked more thrilling in this starstudded mainland-Hong Kong-South Korea co-production. South Korean heartthrob Lee Min-ho makes his first appearance in a Chinese film alongside Wallace Chung (The Continent) and Tang Yan (Farewell for Love). Director Shin Tae-ra brings the manic touch that made his 2009 film My Girlfriend Is an Agent a big hit in this story about five young, danger-loving strangers who team up to capture criminals for rewards. Filmed in China, Thailand and South Korea, Bounty Hunters used a top Hollywood team for special effects with promises of gunfights, car races and parachuting escapades.

Just 17 years old, A-Bu takes a major leap on his sophomore disc, Butterflies Fly in Pairs. Having covered Coltrane on his debut, the Beijing-based pianist flexes his post-bop composition chops in this new release. Recorded in New York City, he’s backed by stalwarts like saxophonist Antonio Hart and bassist Tom Kennedy. Released by Sennheiser Music and is streamable on Xiami. As one of Modern Sky’s original acts, New Pants have already established themselves as the Beijing music scene’s dance-pop heart. On their first album in five years, the quartet are beginning to somewhat act their age.

BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD, SWEAT SWEAT SWEAT AND AND AND TEARS TEARS TEARS

fter being dropped by Warner Bros and losing their guitarist to cancer, Surfer Blood have gone from being Florida’s most exciting new band to indie rock’s survivors. But now they’re ready for act two, frontman John Paul Pitts tells Andrew Chin.

Over the course of three albums, Florida’s Surfer Blood have lived through the extreme highs and lows of the music industry. They’ve gone from being celebrated by the New York Times and touring with their idols, the Pixies, to being abruptly let go by their label for disappointing sales. But as they embark on their first tour of China, the quartet seem at peace; comfortable returning to the indie rock world they once looked set to rule. Last year’s 1000 Psalms – their first album since being dropped by Warner Bros – was praised as a welcome return to the noisy hooks of their celebrated debut, Astro Coast. “We weirdly got a clean start,” explains frontman John Paul Pitts from his home in East LA. “It was nice to have no one really listening or knowing what we were doing. We locked ourselves in the basement and it was so fun not having to think about anything else except music." “I think it’s a grower,” Pitts says of the disc. “It may have been jarring for people at first, but we’re now getting a lot of requests at shows for [the record’s] deep cuts. That is always a good sign that people have digested an album in its entirety.” Finally able to use songs deemed too weird by a major label, 1000 Psalms is an eclectic declaration of independence. “When you’re 22 years old, you think you can handle any2 8 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | G Z | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

thing that comes,” Pitts reflects. “But having to think about whether songs were good for radio, and having A&R guys coming into the studio and making notes in front of you while you’re recording – that pressure was much more than I ever expected it to be.” Nonetheless, the band’s early success allowed them to their record sophomore album Pythons with Pixies producer Gil Norton (using guitars lent to them by Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago) in the very studio where the Beach Boys created Pet Sounds. “I wouldn’t trade that crazy experience for anything,” Pitts says, without a hint of bitterness. “[But] the label dumped a ton of money into making Pythons, which we never asked them to do.” he admits. “It was pretty clear that we were self-sufficient and self-reliant.” This DIY attitude has been Surfer Blood’s trademark since they first emerged from a Florida music scene better known for its hardcore and metal scenes (“people kind of scratched their heads when they came to our shows”). Pitts credits the group’s original guitarist Thomas Fekete with encouraging him to dream beyond the Florida scene. “I’ve been writing original music since I was 15. Early on, it was very, very derivative of the Pixies and Fugazi... and still is,” he deadpans. “I was very content recording songs in my bed-

room, putting them on the Internet and playing the bar down the street a couple times a month. If Tom hadn’t given me that push, I don’t know if I would’ve ever tried to get out of town.” Although Fekete passed away in May after an elongated battle with cancer, Pitts is glad “to have seen so much of the world with him and learned so many lessons.” Among his fond memories is the wild week in 2009 when the group became the talk of New York after impressing an audience filled with major label reps at the CMJ Festival. “We had played New York City a bunch before, usually to 10 to 15 people,” Pitts laughs. “But we played a bunch of times that week, and suddenly, more and more people were coming to each show.” Now embarking on the second act of Surfer Blood’s story, Pitts reveals the band have nearly finished writing their next record with an eye toward an early 2017 release (he references “the stranger, darker psychedelic stuff” from Cream’s Disraeli Gears as an inspiration). When asked if any of the new songs might make an appearance on the upcoming six-city China tour, Pitts wrestles with the idea. “It might be a good place to try stuff out on totally fresh ears,” he admits. “That’s a solid ‘maybe.’”

Before they dropped us, our label dumped a ton of money into making the album – which we never asked them to do. It was pretty clear that we were selfsufficient and selfreliant

hen I ask Fu Han how she makes money from her music, she pauses. “Yeah, that is a big question,” she says. Fortunately for Fu, that’s not her job – the label she’s signed to, Modern Sky, handles the finances for her band. Fu is busy enough as it is, writing and performing music as the frontwoman of Queen Sea Big Shark. But while she’d love to make the creative process her only focus – especially given the recent release of QSBS’s acclaimed new album, To Wild Heart – the woes of producing and monetizing music in 2016’s world of online streaming eat up more than their fair share of her energies. “Now, the money we make from the record is almost zero,” she says. The reason is probably already installed on your phone. QQ Music, Xiami, Wangyi – these are just a few of the free music-streaming platforms that have grown exponentially in China in recent years. But their success stories aren’t controversy-free. As recently as last year, these sites and apps hosted huge swaths of songs without artists’ or labels’ permission. “You’d type your song’s name in the search bar, and you would find all these websites where you could download it,” says Fu. When asked if her songs are ever used for commercial purposes without her permission, her response is swift: “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course! Always.” Fu’s story of copyright infringement and intellectual property theft is all too common, says Alex Taggart, of Beijingbased music-industry consultancy Outdustry. “The streaming apps started out with a ‘stream first, license later’ attitude, in order to get people to use their services,” he explains. “Since there was pretty much no regulation, very little risk of being successfully sued for infringement, everyone got away with it.” To many, this may come as no surprise. After all, China isn’t exactly known for

its adherence to copyright laws. What might be more surprising, then, are recent improvements, according to Nathaniel Davis, co-founder of concert promotion agency Split Works. “I think it is much better now than it was even two to three years ago,” he says. “You see a lot of the major companies making concerted efforts to license the material that is on their sites.” As Taggart explains further: “The authorities have been steadily ramping up their rhetoric regarding copyright protection, and have issued increasingly strongly worded notices and regulations requiring the streaming companies to get their houses in order.” But the process of getting the houses in order – that’s the tricky part. It has resulted in a battle of the tech giants, who offer payouts to major labels in exchange for permission to use their music. Currently winning the fight for users is the Tencent-backed QQ Music, which integrates with Tencent’s best-known app: WeChat. (Ever tried searching a song on WeChat? Message qqmusic a title and it’ll shoot back with a streaming link almost instantly.) Meanwhile Xiami, arguably the cooler of the two with its curated playlists and smart interface, has less reach. Xiami links can’t be shared to WeChat because, well, Tencent said so. But the bottom line of all this is: these companies are increasingly streaming music they actually have the right to stream. Still, there’s disagreement about how artists can actually get paid from this. At the moment, the reality is, really, they don’t. Artists make most of their money from gigs and sponsorship deals. (Queen Sea Big Shark, for instance, cashed in when Converse used their music for a promotional campaign.) Streaming, therefore, is a way for labels to get listeners to notice their artists. “As far as I'm concerned, I'm not worried about people using platforms like QQ to listen to music,” says Xiao Linfeng

(otherwise known as X.L.F.), a recording artist, DJ and manager of Modernsky Lab. “I see QQ as more of a publicity platform for my music.” It’s perhaps fortunate Xiao feels this way. Many artists don’t have a choice, as those on smaller labels don’t have the power to fight back against the unlicensed streaming of their work. Or as Davis says of the music-rights buyouts: “A lot of these are done through big blanket deals with major labels in order to capture the ‘big artist’ catalogs, but which miss the music from other artists and smaller labels.” Even these ‘major labels’ need to have serious clout if they wish to remove their music from online streaming services. And I mean serious clout – in 2014, Taylor Swift made headlines for refusing to put her album 1989 on popular American music player Spotify. But Swift is the rare exception. Queen Sea Big Shark’s Fu Han empathizes with Swift’s decision, but is unable to go against the stream. “Now we put the music for free online, but I feel the audience doesn’t respect musicians like before, because they don’t pay for it,” she says. “They think it’s free. It’s not valuable. I think that’s wrong.” The earnest emotion in Fu’s eyes makes it clear that this is a topic she’s passionate about – even if it’s technically her managers’ responsibility. “I think that, now, as musicians, we don’t have a lot of knowledge of the law or the contract or the rights,” she says. “But I think that in the future, most musicians will.” When I ask Fu if the complexities on the online world are changing the way she makes music, she rushes to reassure me: “No, of course not.” “But the rules of the game are changing so fast,” she says. Fu goes on to describe her energetic new album To Wild Heart with equal passion. “Sometimes people say to us, ‘Why do you mix so many things together in one record?’ I think there are no rules.”

The Renaissance Man The Beautiful Mind of Leonardo da Vinci BY Andrew Chin

Written into history as the artist behind masterpieces like the ‘Mona Lisa,’ Da Vinci: The Genius brings to life the full accomplishments of the quintessential Renaissance man. The exhibition also highlights Leonardo da Vinci’s work as an inventor, scientist, anatomist, engineer, architect, sculptor and philosopher.

ince its debut in 2005, over five million people across 57 cities and six continents have visited Da Vinci: The Genius. The exhibit is the centerpiece of Melbourne-based Grande Exhibitions, who also created Van Gogh Alive, and is scheduled to come to Guangzhou in July for just under three months. At the exhibit’s China opening at The Hub – a new commercial complex near Shanghai's Hongqiao Railway Station by the same developers as Xintiandi – Grande Exhibitions CEO Tim Atkins gushes at the range of da Vinci’s creative curiosity. “If you look at his anatomical drawings, his flight machines and his artwork, da Vinci had a fascination in so many different areas of life,” he raves. “It would be amazing to sit down with him and try to understand what he was on about.” 3 2 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | G Z | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

Da Vinci: The Genius is separated into 17 themed areas. The first thing that visitors see is a life-sized replica of a balestra gigante.

The show reveals that the ‘Mona Lisa’ is actually composed of four portraits layered on top of each other

According to da Vinci’s specifications, the giant crossbow could open its arms approximately 24 meters wide and was mounted on a cart standing 20 meters long and 40 meters wide.

It’s one of 75 life-sized machine inventions brought to life from the aerial screw to the double flute. Previously consigned to da Vinci’s personal notebooks, the recreations were handcrafted by Italian artisans working at the Grande Exhibitions-owned Museo Leonardo da Vinci in Rome. Chosen for their ability to read old Florentine dialects, the artisans have developed methods to interpret da Vinci’s penchant for encrypting his ideas through methods like shorthand and mirror reading. Over 6,000 pages of codices were scoured from da Vinci’s notebook, and then created with materials and techniques from 15th century Italy. These pieces interpret da Vinci’s designs for modern inventions like the car, bicycle, parachute, SCUBA, submarine and military tank. “The helicopter was an early 20th cen-

tury invention, but da Vinci was thinking about the type of machines that would be capable of flight 400 years before that,” Atkins says. “It highlights his style of thought and shows that someone a long time ago was thinking of these modern inventions.” While the biggest criticism of Van Gogh Alive was its dependence on its high-tech multimedia presentation, Da Vinci: The Genius is a wondrously tactile experience. Visitors can tinker with some of the pieces and can fully experience others like da Vinci’s Infinity Mirrors room. Of course, da Vinci’s vital work as an artist isn’t ignored. Reproductions of famed works like ‘Virgin of the Rocks’ are displayed, as are animated presentations of masterpieces like ‘The Last Supper.’ However, the artistic highlight is the ‘Secrets of The Mona Lisa.’ They detail the

findings of scientific engineer and examiner of fine art, Pascal Cotte, who was given unprecedented access to the famed piece. While the original remains too fragile to move from the Louvre, Cotte was able to take it off the wall and conduct scientific analysis of it through self-invented multispectral cameras. With the Louvre museum and leading ‘Mona Lisa’ experts, he has verified his findings. For Da Vinci: The Genius’s opening in Shanghai, he unveiled his latest discoveries. With government officials, Zhang Weijun (the son of Zhang Leping, the cartoonist behind Sanmao, the Vagrant) and the BBC on hand, Cotte revealed the real identity of the Mona Lisa. Rather than a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo, or the alleged mistress of Giuliano de’ Medici, da Vinci’s patron in Rome, the

‘Mona Lisa’ is actually composed of four portraits layered on top of each other. Cotte explains that the initial draft was of an unknown subject. In its second incarnation as a 'Portrait of Pearls,' it depicted a goddess or beatific woman. The third was a portrait of Gherardini, before morphing to its final version – with a veil added around the head and a body to mask the previous version’s Florentine dress and hairstyle among the changes. “We see in Pascal’s finding that da Vinci did things for a period, left them and then came back to them,” Atkins notes. “It’s almost like he had a grasshopper mind. He was jumping from here to there across all these different disciplines.” july 15-oct 6, Rmb38-158. oriental wende Plaza, 52-98 wende nan lu, yuexiu District, Guangzhou 广州市越秀区文德南路 52-98号 (400 610 3721, en.damai.cn)

BEHIND CHINA'S GREAT AMUSEMENT PARK GOLD RUSH by andrew chin, additional reporting by tongfei Zhang

fter years of anticipation, Shanghai Disney has finally opened its doors. Thirty years after Beijing Shijingshan Amusement Park opened with the slogan, “Disney is too far, come to Beijing Shinjingshan Amusement Park,” the real thing is here and it’s already an unparalleled success. Travel agencies and nearby hotels have reported a surge in sales, while the municipal government has opened the city’s biggest tour bus hub at Shiliupu Wharf near the Bund to support the influx of visitors from all over China trying to nab the hottest ticket in the country. The park’s Chinese partner, Shanghai Shendi Group, predicts that it will draw 10 million visits a year, but industry analysts say that number is conservative, some claiming that it could reach 16 million visits, challenging Tokyo Disneyland as Asia’s

3 4 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

most visited theme park. “Disneyland is going to have a bigger influence on China than when KFC first came,” predicts Lou Jiajun, professor in tourism at East China Normal University in Shanghai. “It’s revolutionary.” But there’s no rest for the House of Mouse. Other international players are rushing in to claim their stake in the burgeoning Chinese amusement park pie – one that industry analysts AECOM predicts will overtake the United States for attendance by 2020. Universal has broken ground in Beijing on what will be its largest theme park. Six Flags has signed a deal to build multiple parks starting in Haiyan in Zhejiang Province, and Wet n Wild Haikou is scheduled to open by the end of the year in Hainan. Hello Kitty laid claim to Anji in Zhejiang when it opened its third

park in the world there last year. Over the past few months, Fox Consumer Products president Jeffrey Godsick and Michael Jackson’s brother Jermaine have visited the country touting the possibilities of bringing a Twentieth Century Fox World (likely) and Neverland (less so) to China. Chinese companies aren’t taking the challenge lightly. The country’s largest theme park, Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, has already bested Hong Kong Disneyland for south China supremacy. Their ‘Orlando plan’ to convert Hengqin Bay will go into overdrive with construction beginning on a 300-hectare animal kingdom, a 5,000-seat circus, an indoor amusement park and a science and technology theme park to join its Thea (Themed Entertainment Association) Award-winning theme park. As the world’s fourth largest theme park operators in terms of attendance, OCT Shenzhen can’t be

discounted. Innovators of China’s amusement parks, they spearheaded the cultural attractions boom of the 1990s with Splendid China and Window of the World, and operate the mainland’s first theme park franchise, Happy Valley. China’s richest man, Wang Jianlin, is also getting in on the act. Despite making a fortune in real estate development, Wanda Dalian has aggressively entered the market, opening the first Wanda City in Nanchang in May with construction taking place on seven other sites. Wang has made international headlines with flat-out trash talk,

telling CCTV, “Disney shouldn’t have entered the mainland. We have a strategy – one tiger is no match for a pack of wolves. Shanghai has one Disney, while Wanda will open 15 to 20 parks across the nation.” Punctuating the sentiment, Wang proceeded to drop the mic, purring, “within our company, I’ve said that we will make Disney China unprofitable in the next 10 to 20 years.” Despite the brewing war of words, AECOM Asia’s Chris Yoshii notes that China’s theme park industry has room for both domestic and international companies to thrive.

“The market is huge,” he says. “There are almost 200 cities with a population of one million or more, so there’s plenty of opportunities for different parks and scales. The theme park business per capita is well behind other countries. China has a lot of time to go before it’s going to be a problem.”

Mickey Makes his Move

Authentically Disney, Distinctly Chinese

hip and Dale are trying to find their zen. The cuddly chipmunks are doing tai chi with a changshan-adorned master as spectators snap pictures of the routine – a living embodiment of “authentically Disney, distinctly Chinese.” It’s a line that Disney’s CEO Bob Iger pounds. “We didn’t just build Disneyland in China, we built China’s Disneyland,” he declares. “From the moment visitors enter, everything they see and experience – the attractions, the food, the entertainment – will be instantly recognizable as authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese down to the smallest detail.” Dressed in Disney Imagineer garb (ocean blue collared shirt with Disney-approved nametag and dark dress pants), Iger cites unique aspects “specifically designed for China,” like the wider Mickey Avenue designed for extended families and the 10,000-square-meter garden in front of the Enchanted Storybook Castle created because “people in China, especially Shanghai, love outdoor space.” It’s true. The wider walking paths mean that even when Shanghai Disney is busy, it never feels claustrophobic. The garden is a lively scene – families taking

a rest with grandparents smiling at their excited grandkids, couples taking selfies tackling one of Disney’s famed giant turkey legs, groups excitedly staring at their theme park maps, plotting their next move. While rumors of a delayed opening were surfacing as recently as February, Shanghai Disney has indeed finally opened after five years of construction and at a cost of USD5.5 billion. Iger notes that he first stepped onto the 963-acre site back when it was mainly agricultural land in 1999 and admits, “If somebody told me beforehand it would take 17 years before the park was finally built, I probably wouldn’t have done it.” Still, he beams with justifiable pride at Shanghai Disney’s opening. It’s the third largest Disney theme park in the world – roughly twice the size of its counterparts in Anaheim and Hong Kong – and home to the world’s largest Enchanted Storybook castle, the effects-laden Pirates of the Carribean ride, and a Tron rollercoaster that lives up to its hype. Already, Disney’s sixth resort in the world is a hit in its new home. Lines began forming at 4.30am for the opening, full of visitors from around the world. The

“If somebody told me beforehand it would take 17 years before the park was finally built, I probably wouldn’t have done it” 3 6 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

excruciating wait times during the park’s month-long trial operation period have been greatly reduced, and there’s a genuine awe that Shanghai Disney isn’t a ‘made in China’ disappointment. It’s even an attraction for visitors not willing to shell out the RMB499 admission. The Wish Upon A Star park sits outside of Shanghai Disney’s subway station, while the adjoining Disney Town houses the mainland’s first Cheesecake Factory, a new Wolfgang Puck, hip Japanese clothing company A Bathing Ape and a theater where the first Mandarin adaptation of the Broadway hit The Lion King is making its world debut. “Disneyland is going to have a bigger influence on China than when KFC first came,” predicts Lou Jiajun, professor in tourism at East China Normal University in Shanghai. “The disparity between them and domestic parks is obvious.” “Parks like Disney have a better concept and atmosphere. They are nicely designed with exceptional services, not to mention impressive musicals and performances. The good thing is that this will definitely push domestic parks to bring their operation and experiences offered to a higher level.” Already, challengers are lining up. China’s richest man Wang Jianlin has been the most vocal, boldly confident that his company Wanda’s plans to build 15 Wanda City projects across the country will top Shanghai Disney. While Wang suggests that “Disney’s vast intellectual property rights have become a burden,” the opening of Shanghai Disney only strengthens its foothold in China’s burgeoning film world – one that in-

dustry analysts predict will surpass the United States as the world’s biggest market next year. “The growth of China’s theatrical box office really got everyone’s attention,” says AECOM Asia’s Chris Yoshii. “It’s a market that everyone has to go after because it’s so huge. Even Hollywood movies are trying to tap into that revenue

source, which is why so many movies today try to involve a bit of China, even if it’s random.” Recent Disney films like Alice Through the Looking Glass, Captain America: Civil War and The Jungle Book have already scored coveted same-day global release dates, with Zootopia raking in USD236.1 million to become the seventh highest grossing film of all time in China. Captain America directors

the Russo Brothers have signed on to produce a mainland film centering around a Chinese superhero, while Disney’s co-production deal with Shanghai Media Group will release its first project on Earth Day 2017, the nature documentary Born in China. Wang may have been right that “China has never had a generation that blindly followed Mickey Mouse” – and there is a startling lack of Mickey at Shanghai Disney – but the park does feature the Star Wars Loading Bay: a perpetual

primer for its mega-franchise that has at least five more films scheduled. However, Iger’s attention is fixed on Shanghai Disney. “We’re always thinking about what to do next,” he says. “We have 7 square kilometers of land to work with – plenty of room to grow and add all types of attractions that provide an authentically Disney, distinctly Chinese experience.” > www.shanghaidisneyresort.com/en

Wanda World Order Wang Jianlin’s Hostile Takeover

“China has never had an era of blindly following Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck”

ang Jianlin will not be doing interviews, we were told. It’s disappointing news, but then again the Wanda Dalian boss has armed the media with bulletin boards full of material, declaring his company’s mission to surpass Disney as the world’s largest tourism enterprise by 2020. In one appearance on CCTV, he mocked the high costs of Shanghai Disney’s construction (“we internally analyzed why they spent so much money and we can’t explain it in a sentence or two”), its dependence on characters foreign to the market (“China has never had an era of blindly following Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck”) and its long-term prospects in China (“financially, it doesn’t look good to me”). As expected, the explosive interview made international news. After all, who in their right mind throws the first stone at Disney – the operator of eight of the 10 most visited theme parks in the world and the industry’s Goliath? But there is no scenario in which Wang Jianlin could ever be a David. After all, he’s Asia’s richest man (last valued at US30.4 billion by Forbes), China’s largest real estate developer, the world’s largest movie theater owner (thanks to his 2012 acquisition of America’s AMC Theaters) and minority owner of Atlético Madrid, with rumors that Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will be his next purchase. And that hour-long CCTV interview was a savvy move – aired five days before the unveiling of the first Wanda City in Nanchang in Jiangxi Province: a 200-hectare

3 8 | J u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

monolith containing an outdoor amusement park, hotel resorts, dining and commercial districts, as well as its centerpiece, Wanda Mall. “Wanda City has a broader business model than Disney. It combines culture, entertainment, tourism, commerce and other businesses,” says Wanda spokesman Liu Mingsheng. “Wanda City is a global first – it solves the seasonality problem for tourism and is more accommodating to local culture. Every Wanda City is designed with local tradition and flair in mind.” Shaped as porcelain cups – a nod to Jiangxi’s centuries-long history of producing pottery – Wanda Mall is home to an indoor ocean park, an aquarium, a film park and the Wanda Kids Place – the first of 200 planned family playzones that will take on Merlin Entertainment’s plans to open a Legoland in Shanghai. “Opening a cluster of parks is not a bad strategy,” says industry analyst AECOM Asia Chris Yoshii. “People can spend multiple days in the location. It creates a destination overnight.” During the park’s official opening, invited media members face a terrifying sight. The morning VIP preview session of Wanda Mall has ended and the doors are about to open to the waiting public horde ready to check out Nanchang’s newest attraction. It’s a scene out of Dawn of the Dead except Mickey Mouse, Captain America and Pikachu are most definitely in the house. While Disney has been relatively silent about Wang’s remarks, they did warn they will protect its intellectual property rights at all costs once

news surfaced. (Wanda’s response: “These characters were brought in by non-Wanda stores residing within Wanda Mall.”) Inside Wanda operated properties, there’s an eerie absence of well-known characters – although if it chose to take that route, Wanda could tap into latest acquisition Legendary Entertainment’s filmography that includes The Dark Knight, Godzilla, Jurassic World, Pacific Rim and Inception. What the Wanda City outdoor park offers is a lower ticket price (RMB198 on weekdays and RMB248 on weekends compared to Disney’s RMB370/499) and lots of rides – 43 attractions across 80 hectares compared to fewer than 30 offered at Shanghai Disney. While Disney dresses Daisy Duck in a qipao, Wanda City seamlessly integrates Chinese culture. The film park features a flight simulator through Jiangxi complete with mists of water sprayed onto the crowd as they glide over the province’s rivers. The park is broken into five themed areas. Pottery Village features a 4D Porcelain Cinema Theater, a “haunted kiln,” a spinning porcelain cup ride and the terrifying (in a good way) Soaring Dragon and Dancing Phoenix ride with six inverted loops. Poyang Fisherman’s Village alludes to the provincial lake and features all the park’s water attractions. Bamboo Forest offers a python-themed wooden rollercoaster created by award-winning Great Coasters International. Temple of Clouds houses Coaster through the Clouds – China’s highest (242.8 feet) and fastest (84.5 miles per hour) rollercoaster. The kids-themed Fairy Lady Land is full of traditional motifs, and vendors can be found across the park offering workshops on traditional crafts. Even the Sky Diver drop ride is shaped like a pagoda. Already construction is under-

way for Wanda Cities in Harbin, Guangzhou, Wuxi, Chengdu and Guilin. Hefei Wanda City is slated to open in September with local Hui culture elements incorporated along with the world’s highest looping rollercoaster. “Wanda’s business model has been to very aggressively go into places and build as quickly as possible,” AECOM’s Yoshii says. “It works well for shopping centers and office buildings, but with theme parks, we will have to wait and see.” However, Wang is brimming with confidence, even taking the fight with Disney abroad by investing USD3.3 billion in the EuropaCity mega-project near Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport, set to open in 2024. He touts Wanda’s innovative multiple-business model and the company’s ambitious expansion plans to open 15 Wanda Cities across China plus two abroad within the next five years. “We have a strategy,” Wang snarled to CCTV. “One tiger is no match for a pack of wolves.” > www.nanchang.wandaresort.com

The Great China Amusement Park Guide This Business of Fun

The opening of Shanghai Disney and introduction of Wanda City are just the latest entries into the Mainland’s burgeoning amusement park boom. With the market only growing, the country is going to be filled with parks competing for your holiday budget. Here are the best options.

Chimelong Ocean Kingdom

With nearly 7.5 million visitors last year, Chimelong Ocean Kingdom is the current king of China’s amusement parks. The Thea Award winner has been a standard bearer since opening in 2014. Home to the Parrot Coaster (Asia’s first wing coaster with an added splashdown thrown in) and formerly the world’s largest aquarium, Chimelong Ocean Kingdom is only growing. Ground was broken in January for four extensions to convert Hengqin Bay into the Orlando of China: a 300-hectare animal kingdom, a 5,000-seat circus, an indoor amusement park and a science and technology theme park. Chimelong’s original park, Chimelong Paradise in Panyu, Guangzhou, remains popular: it draws over 3.6 million visitors per annum. > zh.chimelong.com/oceankingdom/en

Songcheng

Originally conceived as a celebration of Song Dynasty culture in Hangzhou, this theme park group enjoyed a 50 percent boost in attendance to crack the world’s top 10 theme park group with over 22 million visits. Boasting a unique model that emphasizes live theatrical cultural performances, Songcheng is able to usher in vast groups of people to its three parks, including recently opened sites in Lijiang and Jiuzhaigou. > www.songcn.com

OCT

Pioneers of the Chinese theme park, OCT Shenzhen is the largest theme park group in China and fourth overall. OCT Shenzhen made their start with cultural parks like Window of the World before opening the country’s first theme park franchise, Happy Valley, which has locations in six cities. With four of China’s most popular parks (OCT East, Window of the World and OCT Happy Valley in Beijing and Shenzhen), the company has a vast network across the country, with plans to upgrade existing parks with new rides. > www.happyvalley.cn

Fantawild

The Happy Valley of water parks made their debut in the world’s top 10 most attended operators thanks to a strategy of building mid-size attractions across China’s second- and third-tier cities. They have 12 parks in total, with a trio located in their budding base of Wuhu in Anhui Province. > www.fantawild.com

Changzhou Dinosaur Park

Despite opening 16 years ago, this (somewhat) educational theme park remains the fourth most popular theme park on the mainland. Often called ‘Eastern Jurassic Park,’ it mixes a few rides with a 20,000-square-meter museum devoted to dinosaurs, and is home to 70 different kinds of trees and more than 4,000 plants as part of its ecological commitment. > www.cnkly.com/common/english

Hello Kitty Anji

Technically, the beloved feline-like character (for some reason its creators insist it is not a cat) beat Mickey Mouse into China by opening its third theme park in the world in Anji, the first outside its native Japan. While it’s a bit far from civilization, the park has been praised as a fun place for the kids since opening last year. > www.hellokittypark.cn

Wet n Wild Haikou (2016)

Originating on Australia’s Gold Coast, Wet n Wild has become synonymous with water parks around the world. Its first China location is scheduled to open near the end of the year in Haikou, Hainan Province. The 50,000-square-meter project includes an 8,000-square-meter indoor family water park featuring the brand’s signature collection of thrilling slides and attractions. Global industry leaders WhiteWater West Industries will supply all the attractions.

Universal Beijing (2019)

The Beijing suburb of Tongzhou will be the home of Universal Studios’ biggest theme park, covering 2.02 million square meters. Set to open in 2019, Universal Beijing will feature a theme park, a water park, a Universal CityWalk retail-entertainment complex and the world’s first Universal-themed resort hotel. Subway Line 7 will be extended to the park, and Universal is putting their best efforts into the project, recruiting Steven Spielberg to help with the park’s design.

Six Flags Haiyan (2019)

With 19 locations across the world, Six Flags is currently the fifth largest theme park group in the world. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re banking that their plan to build multiple theme parks across China will significantly bolster that number. An official groundbreaking ceremony took place in January for its first mainland project: an RMB30 billion property full of record-breaking rollercoasters and other thrilling experiences in Haiyan, Zhejiang Province. Scheduled to open in 2019, the park will be located on the coast of Hangzhou Bay, a 45-minute trip from downtown Shanghai.

Legoland Shanghai (2019)

The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second highest attended theme park operator, Merlin Entertainment, has already committed to opening its first mainland Legoland amusement park in Shanghai. Already, a Legoland Center has been built to whet the appetite, with operators expecting the park to open by 2019.

To Learn or Not to Learn Mastering Your Mother Tongue by Lena Gidwani

erdinand de Saussure, a Swiss linguist and semiotician, and the founder of theoretical linguistics, once said that "language and mind are like the two sides of a piece of paper: neither can exist without the other." Many third-culture kids (TCKs) belong to a school of thought that implies the mother tongue of a person or a people has cultural, social and personal value, making it a basic qualitative component of one’s existence rather than a simple tool of communication. Consciousness of a 21st-century world and of others and ourselves, by necessity, passes through notions structured and expressed by means of language. The fact that TCKs can express their conception and talk about it in their own language is possibly more significant than ever before. It is their history, their identity and the physiognomy of their nation. In this sense, language is for them the main component of their consciousness, what constitutes their identity as a person and distinguishes them from being simply a part of a mass. It is for this reason that it is so important for a third-culture child, especially one who studies in English, to learn their mother tongue or a foreign language.

Access to more than one foreign language is even better; it is the ideal way to combat a language monopoly and to find additional ways to view the world. International schools like Utahloy

International School Guangzhou (UISG) and, more recently, ISA International School of Guangzhou (ISA) have invested substantially in a mother tongue program. At UISG, foreign languages such as French, Spanish, German, Korean, Chinese and Japanese are offered. Amanda McDonald, acting head of UISG, says that frequency is key. “UISG is a truly international school, and as such, we offer the widest possible range of languages and subjects to meet the needs of our families who represent over 45 nationalities. Primary students have four lessons a week, Year 7 to 10 students have seven lessons per two weeks and Year 11 to 12 students have between six and nine lessons per two weeks, depending on the level studied.” McDonald believes that languages open doors for all learning, and that it is vital for students to develop their own first language to a high level to enable them to understand and deepen their learning of all other subPhoto courtesy of ISA

jects, whether in an academic discipline such as math or history, or the learning of a third or even fourth language. Elaine Whelen, Head of ISA, is of the same belief. Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Arabic and Russian are currently taught at ISA; French and Korean will be added to the repertoire come August. A supporter of this program, she believes that development of each child’s mother tongue must start from an early age. “In the process of becoming bilingual or trilingual, children, from the onset, must learn about their own and other cultures and develop a sense of appreciation for diversity, which will enable them to live comfortably in culturally distinct environments and situations,” she says. In the lasting words of Ludwig Wittgenstein, “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world”. Lest we forget, mastering your own language, or more, is in fact an opus vitae in our global village.

Childhood Vaccination

Protecting Kids from Dangerous Diseases by Dr. Jack Chen

accines are among the 20th century's most successful and costeffective public health tools for preventing disease and death. There are two reasons for immunizing every child: 1. Immunization is the safest and most effective way of giving protection against a disease. After immunization, your child is far less likely to catch it. The benefit of protection against the disease far outweighs the very small risks of immunization. 2. If enough people in the community are immunized, the infection can no longer be spread from person to person and the disease dies out altogether. This is how smallpox was eliminated.

The Basics Vaccination starts from birth. Schedules are different from country to country but the core first-year program is identical and it should include: ● DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis – also known as the triple antigen): 3 doses ● Polio: 3 doses ● Hib (haemophilus influenzae type b): 3 doses ● Hepatitis B: 3 doses Thanks to biomedical technology, five or even six of these antigens can be made into one injection. The five-in-one or six-in-one vaccine is not only convenient to administer, but is also a far superior vaccine in quality as it reduces the unwanted reaction (fever and pain). What is also recommended worldwide? Other vaccines added to the early child-

hood program: ● Chickenpox: given together with MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) after 12 months of age, then repeat at 4 years old. There is an MMR and varicella four-in-one vaccine available nowadays ● Pneumococcal: brand name Prevenar 13, given in four doses from 2 months of age ● Meningitis: different types and commercial products in different areas ● Rotaviral: given in two to three doses in the first year ● Seasonal flu shot: yearly for everyone above 6 months of age ● HPV (human papillomavirus): for cervical cancer and genital warts prevention. In 2008, a vaccine called Gardesil was licensed worldwide for females aged 9 to 26 for the prevention of HPV infection and cervical cancer. Gardesil is the first-ever vaccine researched and manufactured to prevent cancer. Though it is not licensed in China, it is available in Hong Kong. The program consists of three injections at 0, 1 to 2 and 6 months.

Vaccination for children in Guangzhou The vaccination schedule is the function of the local government body (CDC, Center for Disease Control). In addition to most vaccines listed above, children in Guangzhou routinely receive the following: ● BCG: a once-only vaccine given at birth for the prevention of tuberculosis ● Japanese B encephalitis: a yearly injection (two doses) after the first birthday ● Hepatitis A: two doses after 12 months of age Most common questions from parents

es, it’s only July, but it’s never too early to start thinking about Party Pier’s annual Beer Fest! This autumn, make your way to Party Pier for an epic night of beer, German cuisine, live music and entertainment to boot! Remember, this is Party Pier, so prepare for some rad electronic dance music between more traditional German folk songs and get ready to make a dent in the 100 tons of beer promised at this wild annual event. There will be local Zhujiang brews, wheat beers, ales, stouts and more. No beer festival is complete without a buffet-style feast of German pork knuckle, Munich white sausages, homemade pretzels, and sauerkraut, so Party Pier has recruited a team

of chefs to prepare authentic German cuisine as best they can right here in Guangzhou. At the festival, other restaurants and bars on the pier will set up tents outside to serve their food and drinks to guests. Plus, given that October is also Halloween season, costumes are more than welcome! Stay tuned for more information and head to Party Pier this summer for daytime entertainment, delicious international cuisines and, of course, clubbing all night long! > Beer Fest 2016 will be held in midOctober at Zhujiang Party Pier Beer Culture and Art Zone, 118 Modie Sha Dajie, Haizhu District 海珠区磨碟沙大街118号珠江琶醍啤酒文化创意艺术区 (8406 0333)

EAt/drink SIX OF THE BEST… Vegetarian Restaurants

GOSSIP If you’re like us and eat out almost every night of the week, Guangzhou’s pickings start to seem pretty slim. Thankfully, summer’s here and that means sufficient time to explore all of the following openings (listed in order of which you should check out first): Aroma Bistro, well received by many so far, is up and running on Wokai Street behind TaiKoo Hui. A few paces away, Jin Bar in the Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou is mixing drinks with 37 different varieties of gin and daily barbecue dinners on the patio. In Haizhu, a rock-climber from Seattle is selling his craft beer and pulled pork sandwiches at The Hub, which you can read about on p62. Back in Tianhe, Saraya – a sweet gastro lounge on Xingsheng Lu – is seeing lines for a puff of shisha, while Asia Table cooks up rich curries and authentic Thai dishes at Parc Central. The Canton Place will soon be awash with action, as Cafe Amour, Red Chili (Vietnamese and Thai cuisine) and Morida Japanese Restaurant open later this summer. In the IFC, we have new Italian eatery Mamma Mia (which has seen mixed reviews) and a host of bakeries (see p54 for a rating of each). Last, but certainly not least, Taksim Delicate on Jianshe Liu Malu held its grand opening on June 11, and the Taojin area welcomed Biergarten Restaurant & Bar (across from the Crowne Plaza) and Lu Xiao Feng (a chain serving Sichuanese cuisine) where Tekila used to be. See you around, Guangzhou!

Sunburst

Vanilla Panna Cotta with Florentine, Raspberry Jelly and Mango by Jocelyn Richards

inning first place in the preliminary round of the 2016 United Tastes of America: Asian Chef Challenge held in Guangzhou, ‘Guangzhou Sunshine’ is a visually stunning, innovative dessert by Theresa He, a pastry chef at the Garden Hotel, Guangzhou. Composed of an elegant line of crushed matcha, raspberry jelly cubes, edible flowers, a dollop of mascarpone cheese sprinkled with chili powder and spherical, juicy mangoes that burst in the mouth, the recipe offers a light, stimulating conclusion to any summer meal.

The Chosen Buns Guangzhou’s Newest Bakeries Put to the Test by Jocelyn Richards and Lena Gidwani

5 4 | J uly 2 0 1 6 | G Z | www . thatsmags . com

You read it here: it’s completely normal – commendable, even – to lose sleep over cravings for a loaf of justbaked sourdough coated in creamy, salted butter or rows of chunky, dark chocolate-chip cookies rising seductively in the oven. Baked goods are heavenly when done right, but how many bakeries here in Guangzhou actually know the difference between a bagel and a baguette? This month, we visited, tasted and ranked six new pastry shops in the city according to breadth of selection, quality and overall vibe. A ‘breattitude’ of four or higher definitely warrants a visit: knead we say more?

Demi Deli Puffed-Up Pastries

With all-day-dining options like fois gras lollipops (RMB36) and fried pork with fresh fennel and crab (RMB68) – plus awardwinning pastry chef Raymond Lau behind the counter – Demi Deli has plenty to brag about. Maybe our expectations were too high going in, but the ‘famous’ croissant – while it did have an impressively intricate center – was stiff and bland (similar to what you’d find at Olé). We recommend the mango and taro pastry (RMB28), which, no matter how you attack it with a fork, manages to retain its layered form and tastes like sweet, crispy fireworks exploding gently in your mouth. Demi Deli does a range of homemade cheesecakes and pies (RMB28-35), crumbly cookies (RMB1.5-2), muffins (RMB9), garlic bread (RMB6) and endless takes on the croissant sandwich (RMB9-22). The candy fruit mousse (RMB30), intended to taste like ‘childhood,’ is topped with gelatin and sweet like you just ate an entire bag of Halloween candy. Not for us. This little cafe racks up the most points for its decor, which combines the sophistication of a chic coffee shop with the confidence of a New York diner.

Fujio Japanese Bakery Meet Your Matcha

Should you check it out? Sure – if you’re in the area. Breattitude: 3.5/5

> Shop B105b, B1/F, International Finance Center, 5 Zhujiang Xi Lu, Tianhe District 天河区珠江西路5号广州国际金融中心B1楼B105b 铺 (8708 5922)

Built to look like a wooden shrine, the first thing you’ll see inside Fujio (besides the Shinto warrior in the doorway) is a plethora of industrial ovens and a Japanese chef who oversees the production of over 20 different baked goods. Step aside, plain butter croissant, and make way for the eye-catching matcha jam bun (RMB18). Though a daring invention, the bun is too heavy and lacks the right ratio of crumb and crust. The jam and almond croissant (RMB18), too, is a sight for sore eyes. Order it only if starving. Hipsters will be happy to find the matcha muffin (RMB13), which brings a solid balance of sweetness and earthy, subtly bitter green

tea flavor. The red bean bun (RMB13) is also a must-try: the dough is majestically soft and squishy, and there are plenty of red beans in the filling. Pros aside, we would have loved to see more traditional ingredients like black sesame, sweet potato and ginger – or better still, titillating Japanese treats like fluffy cheesecakes, daifukumochi or yamazakiflavored crepes. Oh, and girls in kimonos, beckoning us into this sanctuary of baked goods. Breattitude: 3.5/5

KK Bakery

Tous les Jours

Cottage of Cakes

Modestly tucked behind Duo on Jianshe Liu Malu, KK Bakery’s second branch is housed in a quaint red cottage adorned with arched windows and a picket fence. Inside, murals of enchanted gardens and Greek shores enliven each room, making an average glass of fresh cucumber and pear juice (RMB25) taste exotic. But we’re not here for cool beverages and espresso drinks (RMB15-22) – we’re here for carbs. KK Bakery is perhaps best known for its custom cakes (RMB200 and up), which can be designed after any photo you bring in and come in flavors like New York style cheesecake, blueberry cream and dark chocolate mousse. KK’s loaves – French village, walnut and raisin, oat and Bavarian rye (all RMB18) – must weigh five pounds each, and its buttery croissants (our new favorite in Guangzhou, RMB12-15) are each the size of an American football. Desserts come in curious flavors and shapes, like the durian cheesecake (order only if you love everything about du-

The Everything Bagel rian, RMB8) and raspberry ball (fruity mousse with a slightly soggy graham cracker crust, RMB8) and the more normal fudge brownie (RMB8). Nutshell: the ambiance is awesome but selection limited – unless you’re in the market for a birthday cake. Breattitude: 4/5

Located directly across from the competition (Demi Deli) in the basement of the IFC, Tous les Jours instantly wows customers with a display of home-style bagel sandwiches (RMB20) stacked with five layers of cheese, lettuce, tomato and meat and sauce. It’s one of the few places (outside of Feel More) that sell proper bagels in Guangzhou, and when we visit, all but one variety (cranberry bagel, RMB7) is sold out. The cafe – with its transparent compartments housing different styles of pastries, breads and cakes – resembles a typical Chinese bakery, and it’s easy to feel skeptical about the quality of the goods. Aside from its failed attempt at donuts (RMB8), however, this place has mad baking game. Fluffy on the outside, gooey on the inside and with just the right amount of black tea flavor to offset excess sweetness, the black tea European bread (RMB28) is some of the best coffee cake we’ve tried in China. The classic walnut pie

(RMB26), homemade yogurt (RMB18) and freshly squeezed juices (RMB28) are all musttries. Tous les Jours also has a spacious, slightly hidden seating area in the back so you can stop in for lunch and (probably) find a free table. Verdict? Go. Breattitude: 4/5

> B1/F, International Finance Center, 5 Zhujiang Xi Lu, Tianhe District 天河区珠江西路5号广州国际金融中心B1楼

Paper Stone Bakery Bread is Life If you’re looking for Paper Stone’s scissors, don’t bother: they’ve been replaced by sharp knives ready to slice freshly baked baguettes (RMB28) filled with dried fruit, nuts and seeds and focaccia topped with juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, onions and cheese. With a whopping selection of pastries, sliced breads with fillings like Swiss milk, pumpkin and raisins, and everything in between, Paper Stone Bakery is superbly welcoming (if you can elbow your way through the crowds). Signs list the shop’s endless bold ingredients, a cross between European variants and Asian favorites. For something sweet yet savory, try the coconut pineapple Danish cup (RMB24). Resembling a lamington, it’s made from a croissant base and

topped with fresh custard and torched pineapple triangles. Cranberry and milk buns, caramel custard cream baguettes, tri-cheese rice buns and floss pork buns highlight the bakery’s creative side. So swing by on your next visit to Parc Central and pick up a bunch of these baked indulgences: they’re well worth an extra hour at the gym. Breattitude: 4.5/5

Dolcetto

Italian to the Core A highly awaited coffee shop and bakery by Caffe Mondo, Dolcetto is prominently situated on the ground floor of the Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou. Gleaming with immaculate displays of macaroons, Danishes, sandwiches and floor-to-ceiling shelves of Illy coffee, olive oil and wine, it’s the kind of cafe you’ll want to dress up for (so not quite hangover material). The selection alone is impressive: more than 60 different pastries, breads, cakes and sandwiches are baked daily and can be grabbed on the go, including sour cream donuts (RMB18), beer sourdough bread (RMB25), potato rosemary bread (RMB25), focaccia (RMB18), banana chocolate cake (RMB198) and strawberry shortcake (RMB200). If that doesn’t get your stomach rumbling, the sandwiches (already the talk of the town) will. Our recommendations? The breakfast ciabatta with bacon, egg, tomato, rocket and onion

jam (RMB38) served steaming hot and oozing with rich fillings. The bread is soft but not soggy, even after being doused in dressing. For a peppy, appetizing lunch, the Caprese focaccia topped with pesto, rocket, sliced tomato and imported mozzarella cheese (RMB48) is to die for. Seats fill up about two hours after Dolcetto opens at 7.30am, so if you’re planning a date with the laptop, be sure to head over early! Breattitude: 4.5/5

ninethirty

Big Flavors on Small Plates by Lena Gidwani

tepping into ninethirty, an awfully chocolate restaurant and dessert bar, is like visiting a long-lost friend: the familiarity tugs at your heartstrings and you vaguely remember the feeling, but you’re just not sure where you’ve seen it before. TaiKoo Hui Mall, perhaps? Once you walk in, however, it all floods back. There’s an immediate sense of unpretentiousness and comfort that welcomes you as your eyes settle on the mounds of handmade chocolate, lushly stacked cakes and creamy ice cream. This casual bistro, housed bang in the heart of Parc Central Mall next to H&M, is suitable for a shared meal with friends or family. Its menu, presented rather modestly, appears tame, but rest assured, you will be left speechless and craving more once you sink your teeth into the faultless marriage of European and Asian flavors. The watermelon and rocket salad (RMB18) warmly melts in your mouth with a certain crunch and textural appeal that goes beautifully with the citrus jus. The apple crumble salad (RMB28) could very well pass as a savory dessert. It hits the spot with its combination of ingredients, and is best eaten as soon as it lands on the table. Brunch or all-day breakfast lovers will applaud here at ninethirty, where their favorite meal just got a kick. Try the bangers and mash (RMB38) or golden coin pancakes

(RMB40), cooked with pizzazz. Seafood lovers should take note of the aromatic garlic prawns (RMB48) in chorizo oil and roasted garlic, seared pacific cod (RMB68) with cauliflower mash, caramelized onions and roasted peppers, and the delectable lobster tail with bisque (RMB88). Pair your selection with some truffle fries (RMB28) or crispy potatoes (RMB28) with light wasabi for a kick. Plated desserts are, of course, brilliantly conjured up – an ode to ninethirty’s humble beginnings as a dessert bar. Without giving away too much, try the dark chocolate s’more (RMB48). Its warm, sticky exterior and chilled ice cream will leave you licking your lips. Those seeking more Asian flavors will love the salted egg yolk donuts (RMB48). The runny center tends to ooze out so keep it close to your mouth as you bite into the sugary crust. Drinks have a local spin, with the sweet yet refreshing Katong jelly (RMB35) playing to its Singaporean heritage. There are coffees, teas and, of course, beers and wine to wash down the feast of small plates. Prefer a beverage and dessert in one? Order the cold dark chocolate mar-

tini (RMB58) or salted caramel chocolate (RMB33) and have the best of both worlds! The mention of ninethirty alone could probably summon a small, helpless groan from the stomach, with a creative range of items, flavors and textures enough to cure any cravings. Retail therapy can wait – we’re just getting started.

Meat to Beat by Jocelyn Richards

广州市天河区珠江新城花城大道4号名门大厦正门首层

oncealed in a shadowy basement on Jianshe Si Malu, Torture, with its caged beer selection and eerily vacant dining area, has all the trappings of a horror film. The chef, Samuel Fernandez, a tattooed native of Brazil, takes his homeland’s reputation for barbecue very seriously: all cuts of beef and lamb are imported from Argentina and ooze with light, buttery juices when sliced. At Fernandez’s recommendation, we order the biggest Brazilian platter (set A, RMB138) piled high with beef rump cap, ribs, chicken wings and pleurotus eryngii (thick-cut mushrooms that look deceptively similar to French fries). The beef, though somewhat overcooked, is well salted with a fatty, satisfying flavor. For a full-size platter, we expected more wings (it only comes with two) and a crunchy side of some sort to munch on in between mouthfuls of meat. Still, portions are huge, so the desire to add carbs (Italian spaghetti, wudong noodles, fried rice or sandwiches, RMB38-48) dies away with our hunger. Torture, whose name no one at the restaurant dares to explain, outdoes itself with barbecue selections: Brazilian, American and Chinese-style grilled meats and veggies come as single-serve skewers or generous platters. Given that the majority of clientele are locals, Chinese skewers are given plenty of attention. Grilled asparagus (RMB28), seared saury with lemon (RMB38) and Japanese octopus (RMB28) are among the xiaochi on offer. The four-page menu (which is still being translated into English

Dr. James Ho DMD MPH

when we visit) also vaunts German sausages (RMB38), teppanyaki seafood (RMB158-188/ platter) and a variety of tossed greens (RMB38-48). The Italian salad (RMB38) is underwhelming but a welcome reprieve from mountains of meat. Crispy romaine, sweet tomatoes, Tuscan-style white beans, black olives and strips of bacon are dressed in light olive oil for a refreshing summer side that’s big enough for two. Torture’s most appealing quality (#awkward, yes) is its fierce collection of imported beers. We’ll drop a few names here: Boulevard Pale Ale, Boulevard Single-Wide IPA, Firestone Pale 31, Scrimshaw, Old No. 38 Stout, Brooklyn East IPA, BrewDog Fire AM Red Ale and BrewDog Jack Hammer Ruthless India Pale Ale (RMB4055). You get the idea. This place doesn’t mess around. The night creeps on and surrounding flat-screen TVs begin to broadcast bare bodies in high definition. Everyone’s gnawing at bones and sipping bitters, their conversations fading into an infinite abyss. Is it a subconscious response to the restaurant’s name? Maybe. Or maybe this place always carried the name ‘torture.’

Feel More Coffee & Bagels

Home at Last by Jocelyn Richards

&W root beer floats. Dense, chewy bagels baked until golden and coated with warm peanut butter, cream cheese or melted butter. Have your attention? Good. It’s time to Feel More. Hidden, much like Tristan’s CalMex Restaurant and Bar, in a maze of secluded alleyways dotted with local clothing boutiques, Japanese cafes and residential buildings, Feel More Coffee & Bagels isn’t a place you stumble upon – it’s very much a planned destination. So what’s the incentive? That calming, sunny sensation of walking into a bagel shop and inhaling the familiar aroma of onions, sesame seeds and yeast while squinting at an overhead chalkboard to make your order. Eddy Lau, the passionate Hong Kong native behind Feel More, understands this: he lived in Vancouver, Canada, for seven

years and fell in love with the round, doughy breakfast rolls so many can’t live without. This propelled him to set up a shop in Guangzhou, where bagels are difficult to come by. “Right now, we make a few dozen from scratch every day with this little oven,” explains Lau, motioning to a cooker about the size of a microwave. “It’s not very big, so we hope to expand to a larger kitchen in the next few months.” Given the limited resources at his disposal, it’s amazing how popular Lau’s little shop has become in only two months. The menu is simple but classic, with plain, sesame, honey, whole-wheat, cranberry, cinnamon raisin and sea salt bagels on offer (RMB11-13), as well as regular, blueberry, peanut butter, strawberry, raspberry and chocolate cream cheese (RMB4-6). Though soft on the inside and slightly crispy around the edges, the bagels aren’t quite as dense and squishy as those back

home. All things considering, however (like the fact that Lau is dealing with different climate conditions, water and ingredients), they come pretty damn close. A range of bagel sandwiches, including the BLT (RMB27), smoked salmon (RMB37), tuna melt (RMB27) and beef pastrami (RMB37), can be tweaked according to customers’ preferences, but Lau has done a sound job with the recipes. Stuffed with fresh dill, cream cheese and salmon (from the same source that supplies The Westin Guangzhou and Mandarin Oriental, Guangzhou), the smoked salmon sandwich is a harmonious blend of freshness and flavor in each bite. Lau is in the process of connecting with Tall Timbers, a Guangzhou-based coffee roasting company owned by two guys from Seattle, to sell fresh beans at his shop. In the meantime, a combination of Taiwanese beans is used to craft balanced brews of espresso (RMB13-15), lattes and cappuccinos (RMB25). Soothing cocoa blends like the hot chocolate and Bailey’s (RMB33) and refreshing classics like the root beer float (RMB28) encapsulate the homey, nostalgic impression Feel More is going for. Bagel orders by the dozen must be made two days in advance (at least until Lau finds a larger oven). But given that Feel More is the only spot in Guangzhou to reconnect with the best breakfast food on earth, who are we to complain? Price: RMB50 Who’s going: New Yorkers, brunch crowds Good for: bagels with cream cheese, BLTs, Kettle chips

Tang

Fast Food Made Glamorous by Tristin Zhang

lassy and elaborate, Tang opened its doors in late May and has already distinguished itself as a competitive, high-end Cantonese eatery. Revered among locals for sophisticated southern Chinese specialties such as abalone, sea cucumber and edible bird’s nest, the Hoi Fan Group outlet combines chichi dining with swift service and delivery. Jay Yip, the young mastermind behind Hoi Fan and now Tang, is all about challenging the norm by infusing century-old Cantonese recipes with contemporary flair. After successfully opening Chaly’s Daily, a chic and unconventional cafe tailored to younger patrons of The Canton Place, Yip attempted to stir the status quo again last year with the launch of lobster sandwich eatery J’s Harbour (now defunct). Tang is Yip’s latest foray; a fast-food res-

taurant serving only a handful of exquisite dishes and four meal sets prepared with high-quality ingredients. Catering to cravings for nutritious Cantonese delicacies, Tang offers a variety of mains like shark fin (yes, this foodstuff is unfortunately common in the region’s cuisine) and fish maw, served with colorful appetizers and sesame-dotted rice. Ingredients are cooked with a touch of abalone sauce, which enhances their light, oceanic taste. The South African dried abalone meal set (RMB248), accompanied by six pickled appetizers to invigorate the senses, maintains a delicate, natural flavor that succeeds in leaving one satisfied, not stuffed. Tang’s platter (RMB68) is a flavorful assortment of marinated meats, which pair especially well with rice. To finish, try the unique coconut jelly

with bird’s nest (RMB48). It’s a rich, refreshing dessert packed with beautifying vitamins and minerals. Located on the periphery of The Canton Place, Tang targets white-collar professionals in Guangzhou’s CBD. Set meals can be delivered to Zhujiang Xincheng offices in 15 minutes or less, well arranged and expertly packed. It’s all part of Yip’s initiative to glorify fast food on behalf of today’s well-to-do, trendy youth. Price: RMB180 Who’s going: takeout delivery guys, seekers after southern delights Good for: coconut jelly, lavish Cantonese meal sets > Shop 27, The Canton Place, Haifeng Lu, Zhujiang Xincheng, Tianhe District 天河区珠江新城海风路广粤天地27号铺 (4008 322 822)

The Hub

A Climber’s Craft by Matthew Bossons

aizhu’s pub scene is admittedly a bit lacking. Sure, there’s Party Pier, but that’s a haven for DJs, dance music and (largely) lousy food. Craft beer, chill vibes, wooden bar tops and foosball are often hard to come by. Enter The Hub: Haizhu’s newest and arguably best craft beer establishment. Founded by a rock-climbing enthusiast from Washington state, this bar/coffee shop offers great (and we mean great) beer, an eclectic range of coffee and imported spirits. Open in early June, the location is notable for its decidedly Seattle (read: cool) vibes, which are capped off with handmade furniture and Seahawk and Mariners paraphernalia. The beer here alone is worth the journey across the river. Brewed in Zhuhai by humble proprietor Austin Stringham, the selection is small but on point. Our favorite is the Red Rider (RMB30), a flavorful, intense and authentic craft beer. Other options include Taplin’s English Ale and Summer Session Ale, both of which will only set you back RMB30 (absurdly affordable even with the additional taxi fare to Haizhu). Like to snack while crushing beers? The Hub offers a small range of tasty and quality eats. ‘The sandwich’ (RMB30) is stacked with pulled pork and veggies on a pretzel-esque bun and comes with a side of potato salad that whisked us right back home – because everyone knows moms make the best potato salad. Other food options include the chicken Caesar, BLT and Mediterranean wraps, all of which sell for RMB30. Our only honest complaint would be that The Hub offers a single squat toilet. But hey, it’s China – we have to get over that sooner or later. Venturing to Haizhu can be a stressful and time-consuming undertaking for some, but this location is entirely worth the trip. If the food and great beer don’t have you sold, then go for friendly banter with some of the nicest bar staff in town. Price: RMB60 Who’s going: homesick Seattleites, beer cafe aficionados Good for: local craft beer, great conversation

The Brew

Drink Coronas, Win Big by Jocelyn Richards

oing to The Brew just got infinitely more exciting – and that’s on top of a delicious revamped menu by Executive Chef Kevin McKellar and stellar new brunch offerings. What could be better than eggs Blackstone with crispy American bacon, roasted tomatoes and house hollandaise sauce on a homemade cheddar biscuit (RMB58), you say?

From now until October 13, stop into any of The Brew’s locations, sit down at the designated Corona booths (i.e. the best seats in the house) and you will receive a raffle ticket in your name with each Corona you purchase. At the end of every month, there will be a drawing for a ‘Corona Summer Gift Package,’ with – you guessed it – lots of Corona and related paraphernalia. But the real deal won’t come until October 14, when a grand prize winner will be announced at The Brew Zhujiang. The prize? A five-day trip for two to Thailand, all expenses paid! With a deal like that, you better start drinking some Coronas (RMB40) at The Brew. We don’t care if you like the beer, if you’re allergic to limes or

if you’ve been to Thailand a hundred times. These kinds of opportunities don’t come around often. In the meantime, (while you’re out there chugging Coronas), why not try out The Brew’s overhauled dinner menu, featuring, among many other dishes, the Ultimate Burger (RMB98): a six-inch beast packed with two juicy beef patties, caramelized onions, imported bacon, cheddar cheese and all the toppings on a toasted brioche bun. Forget the side salad – The Brew’s French fries are now seasoned with eight spices and kissed with garlic butter and parsley (RMB40; free with purchase of some mains). We wish you all luck in this Corona challenge and hope to see you at the raffle in October! > 1) The Brew Zhujiang, West Section, Baolin Garden, Huaxun Jie, Tianhe District 天河区珠江新城华就路华讯街保林苑西区 (3804 9549); 2) The Brew Taojin, 11-13, Yuhai Shijie, 1 Jianshe Liu Malu, Yuexiu District 越秀区建设六马路誉海食街11-13号铺 (8382 8299); 3) The Brew Panyu, Unit 9-11 (next to ICBC), Country Garden South, Yingbin Lu, Panyu District 番禺区迎宾路华南碧桂园碧华商业2街9-11号 (3482 0401)
