Editor's Note

n recent weeks, the phrase “Have you been to Disney yet?” seems to have replaced “How are you?” or “Have you eaten yet?” when Shanghai residents greet one another. It’s not, however, just about the House of Mouse. Wanda Group, the giant Chinese conglomerate specializing in real estate, hotels, tourism and retail, opened its own theme park, Wanda City, in Nanchang – the first of 15 across China – weeks before Disney’s grand opening, positioning itself as the domestic challenger to Mickey and his gang.

Andrew Chin and Tongfei Zhang speak to industry experts and visit both parks to present their findings in our cover story this month (page 52), where you’ll also find a guide to China’s most notable theme parks as well as a preview of ones that will be coming to China soon. In the Lifestyle section, I chat with Chen Yu on her experience working as a model in New York City (page 22), while Mark Klingspon tells me about the design concept behind The Cannery – his new

gastrolounge backed by Muse Group on Yuyuan Lu (page 34). Meanwhile, the lifestyle feature (page 27), inspired by the discussion about young Chinese luxury travelers at the ILTM Asia opening forum, takes a look at the travel habits of this group of jetsetters through the lens of author, travel expert and fashion maven Miki Tang, and a couple of luxury hotels in LA and Paris about their strategies on capturing this increasingly affluent and economically powerful market segment. Elsewhere in the magazine, Betty Richardson investigates and documents the slow death of the Shanghai street food scene in her Eat & Drink lead story (page 72). In the Art section, Andrew Chin interviews indie rock band Surfer Blood frontman John Paul Pitts before their show at MAO Livehouse on July 13 (page 40). Until next month.

Getting Real with Numbers Register Your Mobile Number Before China Shuts It Down By Bridget Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Donnell

E about it.

arlier this month, Chinese telecom companies began sending out notices requiring real-name registration for all mobile numbers in compliance with Anti-terrorism law. And this time, they are really serious

While the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has set a deadline of December 31, 2016 to have 95 percent of phones across the country registered, it is possible that providers like China Telecom, China Unicom and China Mobile could begin shutting down service for users who have not complied before then. The real-name registration law applies to all phone numbers in China. While the real-name registration policy was put into effect years ago, it is inconsistently enforced. According to TechInAsia, it is estimated that 100 million people have yet to tie their phone numbers to their real identities.

This isn't the first time China has required real-name registration for technology platforms. In 2012, Weibo users were required to tie their account with a phone or ID number. And earlier this year, Alipay and WeChat announced that users would be required to link their accounts to either an ID or mainland bank account number by July 1.

So how to complete the real-name registration or find out if you've already registered? Bring your passport (or a valid ID) and SIM card to an outlet of your mobile service provider. From there, you'll be required to either fill out a real-name registration form or verify your information.

Dyson Pure Cool Link Purifier Fan

Clean Summer Air with a Touch of Breeze

id you know household items such as scented candles, pet hair, chemicals from deodorants, paints and cleaning products and textile fibers are all sources of common indoor air pollution? Well, the world-renowned British technology brand Dyson has a great solution for you. Their new Pure Cool Link purifier fan automatically removes 99.95 percent of PM0.1 particles in the air that causes allergies for you and your loved ones. On his brand’s latest product, founder James Dyson has the following to say: “We think it is polluted outside of our homes, but the air inside can be far worse. Dyson engineers focused on developing a purifier that automatically removes ultrafine allergens, odors and pollutants from the indoor air, feeding real time air quality data back to you.” Combining their expertise in fluid dynamics and filtration systems with software, the new Dyson Pure Cool Link purifier fan is able to give you air quality readings in your home while automatically purifying the pollutants it detects with a unique 360-degree Glass HEPA filter. These live indoor and outdoor air quality numbers are displayed in the Dyson Link App (both iOS

and Android versions available) – allowing users to remotely control the air quality of their home or office at all times. Multiple sensors are installed in the machine to detect changes in air condition, and signal the fan to automatically adjust airflow to maintain the target air quality – purifying the air around the room evenly and quietly by trapping minute particles such as pollen, bacteria, and ultrafine particles while a layer of activated carbon granules traps odors and harmful toxins like paint fumes inside the filter. And best of all, the fan also keeps you cool in the summer. The Dyson Pure Cool Link purifier fan comes in two forms: a tower and desk purifier. The tower is designed to project purified air across different rooms and is suitable for floor placement, while the desk purifier comes with a tilt function for targeting purified airflow for smaller areas. Since we spend approximately 90 percent of our time indoors, it’s a good idea to invest in a good air purifier. The new Dyson Pure Cool Link purifier fan is the perfect choice for the hot and humid days to come. www.dyson.com

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 “human arrow” stunt over the Great Wall 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 air at a speed of 193km/h 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.

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. 1 2 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | 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, who wrote on WeChat that he was “preparing to do something completely crazy” that he would not survive.

A Laonü / Lāonǚ / 捞女 n. a woman who relies on her sexual allure to achieve upward mobility; a gold digger Why does Lingling always g o to the g olf course? She doesn't even play.

She's playing a different game, if you catch my drift.

Oh. She’s trying to meet a rich guy?

Why else would she doll up just to sit there playing with her hair?

Does she really think being a laonü will work?

Well, it worked for all her friends.

lmost every society is a classbased society, whether its members admit it or not. And we live in an age where upward mobility is increasingly rare. It used to take either Albert Einstein’s superb intellect, Henry Ford’s hard work or Bill Gates’ lucky timing to step into the class above. Nowadays, bridging the divide is so difficult that it will probably take all of these things combined to truly rise up. But there are class societies and there are communist class societies. In China, where the idea of class was once forcefully eliminated, it is now back with a vengeance. And pop culture is eager to depict class differences and those who try to defy their status. Among those desperately seeking upward mobility, laonü is a favorite group to portray. These are the young and gorgeous women hoping to marry into wealthy families (lao is the verb ‘to scoop’; nü means ‘woman’). Coming from working- or middle-class families, these girls set their eyes on ‘marrying up’ and will risk anything for the chance. Urban legend suggests that they frequent private clubs and cor-

porate gatherings, spending all their money on a first-class plane ticket in the hope of catching the eye of someone who can actually afford to be there. (Wendy Deng is often said to be the poster girl of this group.) Originally a Cantonese word, laonü began as a derogatory term for young women from poor regions of China who came to rich cities like Hong Kong to find a partner. Soon it was adopted by the Shanghainese to describe gold diggers from the north, and then by Beijingers to describe gold diggers from Dongbei. Nowadays, in addition to being an indictment of China’s imbalanced regional development, laonü has also become an symbol of the lack of upward mobility. The upper-class slaps the label on those who hope to achieve their status, while the middle-class blames the upper-class for keeping them out. So, before you get jealous of laonü or the rich guys who marry them, know that class society is a bitch and the lack of upward mobility is bad for everyone. By day, mia li is a news reporter in Beijing; at night, she tries to turn that news into standup comedy.

Words by Dominic Ngai, Photos by Sean Hanratty

The cityscapes of Chinese metropolises like Shanghai change in the blink of an eye. Often, it happens so fast that we never get the chance to reflect on the consequences. In his abstract photo series Photosynthesis, Sean Hanratty creates a post-apocalyptic world featuring the juxtaposition between plants and elements of Shanghaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concrete jungle. Dominic Ngai talks to him about the inspiration behind his work.

hotosynthesis, according to the Oxford Dictionary, refers to “the process by which green plants and other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.” It’s also the title of a photo series by American photographer Sean Hanratty – a project he started back in New York and continued to pursue when he moved to Shanghai in 2009.

“At the time, the photographs that came out of China – especially the ones that depicted the pace and scale of China’s development – blew my mind. I had to see it with my own eyes,” says Hanratty on his decision to move here six years ago. Since then, he’s been documenting the country’s unique people, architecture and objects through his lens. “The Photosynthesis series stems from my time in grad school [at the School of Visual Arts in New York City, where Hanratty earned his Master’s Degree in Photography],” he says. “Photography [has always been] a way for me to explore and interact with the world, so I’m always shooting.”

Hanratty’s love for documentaries, particularly on natural disasters, was the main inspiration behind the Photosynthesis series. “A few years ago, I was watching Life After People, a TV series about what would happen to the world if humans just suddenly vanished. What was intriguing to me was just how quickly man-made places and artifacts of our civilization would be swallowed up by nature,” he tells us. From this film, the idea of creating a photo series depicting the juxtaposition between the man-made and the natural world was born. “I wanted to create my own little world in which plants have grown to an enormous size and have taken over the city.”

Over the past six years, Hanratty went around the city to hunt for places to showcase an interesting juxtaposition between hard surfaces like concrete and glass and softness of plants. He says, “The most important decision when choosing a place is in how to get a clear view of a building or highway and reduce the man-made structure to an abstract shape.” At the actual shoot, he uses a handheld flash to illuminate the larger-than-life plant in the foreground, to deliberately create a strange, unnatural feeling with the ‘man-made’ lighting.

With its futuristic, Blade Runneresque cityscapes composed of highways and skyscrapers of different sizes and shapes, Hanratty says Shanghai is the perfect place to create the imagery he had in his mind – even better suited than New York, where he started Photosynthesis. “[Shanghai] has a wealth of places and subjects with layers of grittiness; I love that about the city,” says the photographer. The Photosynthesis series now has around 40 photos. With the constantly changing skyline in Shanghai, there's no doubt Hanratty will be able to find new locations to further develop the series in the future.

Who Moved My Venture Fund?

An Overview of Shanghai Jiao Tong University’s Startup Project

or many students at Antai College, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, the startup project is a highly important part no matter which program you are in. Offering generous resources and funds in various forms, Antai College is known as an ideal incubator for entrepreneurial ideas. In this interview, we explore the subject of how they managed to become the leading force with the help of Antai Venture Fund for MBA Shanghai EFG Project Manager Shi Kai.

How do you select ideas and candidates? Most of the projects we sponsor are generated from the top 10 in the school’s annual startup competition, and there are often very promising proposals.

Do you set a high bar for the school startup competition application? How should students prepare if they want to participate?

No, any student with a basic idea that has business potential – and it doesn’t need to be a very specific one – is welcome to join. Before the first round of auditions in January, we’d organize workshops to brief applicants on the gist of the competition and offer trainings. Normally, about 90 participants/groups would enroll. Our project staff would follow up and offer tutorial to participants in needs on a case-by-case basis – analyzing the possibilities and potentials of each. On average about half of the participants will drop out for various reasons during the process. Then, the judging panel, which includes experienced investors and professors, will see the remaining project ideas in the second round. A good project requires more than potential and core competence. It also has to do with the overall quality of the team, especially the leader. Since we’re fully aware of the difficulties that lie ahead for all entrepreneurs, both the ability and quality are considered essential. The panel will also evaluate if the leader is qualified in terms of persistence, perspective, personality and other key traits. We encountered a very interesting and promising project last year. And obvi-

ously the participant realized the value of his proposal too. But when we asked him about his startup team, he suggested that no one is good enough to partner with him so he’d rather work alone. Needless to say, that’s very offputting for any company.

How does venture fund work in terms of supporting potential startup projects?

We’d venture in generally two ways: equity investment and bond investment. The former shares relatively less risk since it's a one-off investment. The ventured project/company is expected to return the capital to the school within three years. As for the latter, the school is one of the shareholders of the ventured project. That means, if the company fails, we’d share half of the loss. It’s a bit adventurous and we’ve been quite cautious on our decisions. The Dean, however, gives us his full support on this. We’ve already adopted the bond investment method in four startup companies, and so far, they are all running well and making profits.

Can you tell us a case that impressed you the most?

In 2014, our MBA student Hua Xiang came up with an idea on a children's growth development and health management service and won the RMB 50 million Eagle Program Fund. She later established BB-care Shanghai Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. Helped by close collaborations with major universities like Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai University, and medical support from Shanghai Children's Medical

Center, Shanghai New China Hospital and Shanghai first Maternity and Infant Hospital, BB-care completed all preparations and opened within a year. While the company keeps growing with Antai College’s support in terms of resources and funds, it also received a RMB 10 million grant from Shanghai Science and Technology Startup Investments Company in 2015.

Of all the startup cases you’ve encountered, is there a certain model that works the best?

No one could promise success for startups because it’s a journey full of uncertainties. But it’s pointless to duplicate any successful examples. That might earn you temporary success, but eventually you will fail. To achieve success, one needs to break boundaries and make good use of available resources.

Chen Yu, New York-based Model Tell us how you became a model. Back in 2011, a model friend took me along to a fashion show casting during Shanghai Fashion Week. Surprisingly, I booked the show (for an English fashion label); because of that, many modeling agencies started approaching me and I eventually signed with one of them in 2012. I was sent to Hong Kong for a few months to build up my port-

folio. And from then, I became a full time model.

What was your first big break? I think it was when I just started modeling when I had the opportunity to shoot for Elle, a magazine that I read very regularly and had always wanted to appear in it one day. There were six models at that shoot and it was a big production. It was my first fashion editorial and they gave me a

full-page. Can you imagine how I felt back then? What was the most memorable job that you’ve done? No modeling job is exactly the same; they are all different and some are quite ‘crazy,’ but I enjoy all of it. Sometimes a job brings you to places that you wouldn’t go normally. Or, you get to meet super talented photographers and art directors, and I get very inspired working with them.

What was your first impression of New York? Why did you end up moving there? I first came to New York in 2013. Back then, I just wanted to travel to different cities and experience different cultures, but I never would have thought that I would be based here one day. One of the agencies there wanted to meet me, and eventually signed me on. For the next two years, I traveled back and forth between Shanghai and New York for different jobs. But my agent always said to me, if a model wants to do well in New York, they should be in the city as much as possible. So in the beginning of this year, I finally decided to move to here permanently. How is working in NYC different from working in China? The people in New York are more ‘crazy,’ in a good way, of course. The ways that they understand beauty are different. It’s difficult to put in words; it’s something that you need to feel and experience yourself.

What’s your day-to-day life like living and working as a model in NYC? Do you fall into a set routine? It’s kind of similar to China. If I don’t have a job that day, I’ll go 2 2 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

to castings for future potential clients. Sometimes, you won’t know what your next day is like until the day before, so it’s quite hard to have a set routine. But I’m really enjoying it at the moment.

Is being of Asian/Chinese descent an advantage or a disadvantage for a model? I think no matter what ethnicity you are, you all get the same chances [of booking a job]. Castings are very competitive here because New York is one of the fashion capitals and many models are based here. At the end of the day, it’s all about whether you’re a good model or not.

What are some upcoming projects that you’re working on? The Resort 2017 shows are happening now, and I am going to be in a few of them. As always, however, we often won’t know our schedules until the very last minute. But I’m excited to know what I am going to do next. Tell us a few places that we must go to when we visit NYC. I really like High Line Park – an elevated walkway built on an abandoned railway that runs through the Lower West Side of Manhattan (Meatpacking District, Chelsea, etc.). I also love the Dia:Beacon, a museum in Upstate New York (an hour’s drive away from Manhattan). It’s one of my favorite art spaces in New York. Williamsburg is one of the coolest areas, and I often love to spend time there during the weekend. There are so many good brunch places, coffee shops and flea markets with interesting knick-knacks. > www.thechenyu.com, Instagram: @yu_chen

Wearing Art Think art only belongs in galleries or exhibitions? Well, up-and-coming fashion designer Han Lulu would argue that it belongs in your closet as well. Known for incorporating art elements into her design, the Istituto Marangoni Milan graduate has been making noise in the fashion world since founding her brand in 2008. Becoming a mother has influenced her work in recent years. Han’s latest collection, ‘Little World,’ was inspired by her daughter’s love for her birthday present – a painting by Jiang Yu. Featuring fun elements in Jiang’s work like hobby horses, flowers and animals, Han's latest work brings back memories of carefree childhood. Using 3D cutting, her dresses are also highlighted by shattered hand-sewed flowers on the edges. Dresses in the collection, according to the designer, represent a sense of innocence, and are dedicated to her daughter and girls who once dreamed of being little princesses when they were young. > hanlulufashion.taobao.com

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

The 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 Cityesque romance story elements set in popular travel destina-

tions. 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 Luxury Traveler 2016 report, respondents revealed that official accounts like ‘High Heels’ and their friends’ WeChat Moments are their major travel informa-

w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | 2 7

l if e & s t y l e | f e a t u r e

“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”

tion 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 advertisers. 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

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

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 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 destination 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

f e a t u r e | l if e & s t y l e

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 account is launching in July. Besides featuring news from its properties, the account will also share lifestyle and winerelated 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 – more than 60 percent of the respondents in the Hurun survey cite interactive digital services as their favorite hotel service, coming in just behind butler services (68 percent). But it’s not just about the Matthew Yoakum, Director of Hotel Sales, Dream Hollywood

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.

SamaSama Collective

Adding an Exotic Touch to Your Look By Dominic Ngai

“

It all began as a love story,” says Marilyn Ma, the owner of SamaSama Collective. She’s referring to her first trip to Bali “for love,” where she picked up many Southeast Asian-inspired knick-knacks and accessories for her friends. This eventually became the spirit of SamaSama (a multipurpose Indonesian phrase meaning 'same same,' 'together,' and 'you’re welcome') – to share interesting designs with the ethnic elements she’s picked up during her travels and her appreciation for a carefree lifestyle. Working with Southeast Asian designers she’s met over the past few years (Ma spends a lot of time in the region to source new products), there’s an exotic, hippy vibe throughout the store. Before setting up this brick and mortar location, SamaSama appeared as a pop-up shop at markets and fairs across Shanghai. These products are also available for sale via SamaSama’s WeChat moments and on Taobao. Located in a lane house courtyard on Xiangyang Bei Lu, the shop is intended more as a showroom. A small yard at the entrance offers space for customers “to chill for a bit” and enjoy a beer or coffee. Once inside, you’ll find Native American dreamcatchers (from RMB65) and Wayuu bags (from an ethnic group in Colombia, from RMB580) handmade by Ma’s friend. A beach-inspired clutch decorated with seashells (RMB295) is perfect for a festive holiday vibe and free-spirited attitude – the ideal complement to a line of tie-dyed dresses and swimwear (from RMB165). Ma tells us she plans to develop her e-commerce platforms, and there’s also the possibility of further expansion. But for now, you can pick up your newest summer accessories at this new Xiangyang Lu spot without having to wait for her next appearance at a pop-up market. > No. 2, Lane 131 Xiangyang Bei Lu, by Xinle Lu 襄阳北路131弄2号, 近新乐路 (186 2181 3255, WeChat ID: samasama_collective)

Canned Goods

A Slice of Canadian West Coast on Yuyuan Lu By Dominic Ngai, Photos by Mario Grey

The central bar, an element that works extremely well at The Nest, was adopted at The Cannery. Besides the shaking and mixing of cocktails or pouring of beers, you’ll also find chefs preparing dishes using the seafood steamer that Klingspon brought back from Canada. The idea of doing another light fixture on top of the bar (one of The Nest’s iconic design features) was scrapped, but you’ll find the same amber lighting in the room, thanks to its ceiling, which is made of mock copper tiles. “That amber color is important for us; we always use this lighting because it makes people look their best,” Klingspon says.

“

The Cannery is really fun for me. At The Nest, I have to run my ideas through Bacardi – I can’t do things that aren’t related to Grey Goose. Here, I can do anything I want. I feel very free,” says Mark Klingspon of his new F&B endeavor on Yuyuan Lu. Also backed by Muse Group, their sophomore joint project is focused on West Coast seafood, gourmet canned food and a range of craft cocktails, beers, Canadian whiskies and more. For the Vancouver native, The Cannery is much more personal. “I wanted to bring a slice of Vancouver to Shanghai, not just in the design, but more importantly in the style and attitude – the seafood steamer at the bar, the canning, beers on tap, light music, serving wine in ‘country-style’ glasses – that’s the kind of relaxed attitude we want to bring.” When he first approached designer Andy Hall (who also worked on The Nest), Klingspon toyed with a few different concepts, one of which was a West Coast seafood restaurant. A pro forma menu dic3 4 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

tating the “flavor and philosophy” of the place was drafted; one of the sections, “canned food,” gradually grew into becoming the overarching theme of the place. “When I was growing up in Vancouver, my dad and I would be in the kitchen late at night, and he’d open a can of seafood, make some toast, and we’d have a chat together,” he says, recalling the scene from his childhood that became the most crucial component of The Cannery. Over the past year, Klingspon traveled to Canada several times, bringing back with him vintage canning machines, a seafood steamer and boxes of empty tin cans as well as antique knick-knacks from flea markets to fill up this space. Since Bacardi isn’t involved in The Cannery, Klingspon wanted to set it apart from The Nest. “I don’t mind them feeling like brothers, but I don’t want one to feel like a knockoff of the other,” he tells us. But one thing we know for sure is that this new venue will undoubtedly become a hit like its older brother. Here’s a look inside.

After locking down on the ‘cannery’ and ‘West Coast seafood’ concept, Klingspon and Hall added a layer of steampunk to the original proposal of using charcoal. This art piece hanging on the back wall of the dining room is a replica of an image Klingspon saw when he was Googling the term ‘steampunk fish.’

During the conceptualization process, one of Klingspon’s initial ideas was to do a Tex-Mex steakhouse (similar to Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill), and designer Andy Hall proposed using “fire and charcoal” as the overall theme of the place. Although the concept has changed, these elements still remain in The Cannery, most notably on its charred timber walls – an interesting finishing material that’s fireproof and offers an interesting aesthetic.

i n t e r i o r s | l if e & s t y l e

Klingspon aspires to have the largest collection of bourbon, rye and Canadian whiskies in China, and the bar already carries around 70 labels. A private label Canadian whisky named after Klingspon’s dog, Cannery Pete, is also available starting July.

Since there is no open kitchen at The Cannery, the canning area in the back offers a show element for guests. Once fully functional, chefs wearing lab coats will be there canning food, resembling a scene from Breaking Bad. This vintage canning machine was the main inspiration behind the whole design concept, according to Klingspon. Canned duck liver mousse is currently on the menu, while smoked salmon, mussels and oysters will be available in the near future.

The lounge seating also came straight from The Nest’s playbook. At The Cannery, however, the main dining area benefits from plenty of natural light, courtesy of its floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to a sizable lawn.

Shang Xia Staying Cool with Bamboo

or centuries, bamboo has been known as a symbol for traditional Chinese values like moral integrity, honor, loyalty and modesty. Together with plum, orchid and chrysanthemum, the four plants are collectively referred to as the “Four Gentlemen,” each signifying one of the four seasons – with bamboo representing summer. The usage of bamboo among the Chinese dates back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), where the material was widely used in products such as chairs, beds, sleeping mats, clothing, writing material and other daily necessities. Honoring this longtime tradition, Shang Xia has created a collection of accessories and home décor products made with the humble bamboo to showcase the brand’s contemporary style and its masterful craftsmanship with a cooling effect for the hot days to come. In the Bridge Bamboo Woven Porcelain Teaware collection, for instance, they creatively combine the intricate arts of porcelain making and bamboo weaving – a process they call ‘bamboo over porcelain,’ where thin bamboo strips are softly woven around the smooth ceramic body of the teaware. The bamboo sheath covering the porcelain handle of the teapot and the body of the teacups isn’t just an aesthetic highlight but it also acts as a heat insulation device to protect the drinker’s fingers – offering the perfect excuse to enjoy a cup of tea at home away from the heat. The perfect vessel to showcase a plethora of flowers blooming in the summer, the Man Yi Bamboo Weaving Vases are another fine example featuring Shang Xia’s dedication to this art form. The vase’s curvy body is the most appropriate vehicle to highlight the harmonious marriage between bamboo and porcelain. Shang Xia applies the same technique and materials to personal accessories as well. Enter the Bridge Woven Bamboo Bracelets. Here, the color pairing and contrast of the porcelain’s pristine white and natural earthy brown tones of fine bamboo strands embodies the brand’s aspiration for delivering simple elegance that would pair well with a simple summer dress. Besides weaving, Shang Xia’s master craftsmen are also skilled at the art bamboo marquetry – a multistep process of splitting, cutting and dividing ultrathin slices of bamboo to form decorative patterns and designs. You’ll find the Shang Xia logo interwoven with traditional sayagata pattern on items from the Twilight collection. Most perfect for the season is the Incense Holder, where you can store your favorite scents to ward off the damp smell after the summer rain. If you’re thinking of redecorating your home this season, bamboo products from Shang Xia’s collection are the best ways to show off your sophisticated taste and appreciation for the traditional Chinese values associated with bamboo – along with the century-old artisanal craftsmanship and skillful techniques that go into making them.

Yeti’s Thomas Bray

july 1

This new age of Asian cinematic cooperation has never looked more thrilling in this star-studded 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). South Korean 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.

What started four years ago in an East London basement has become one of Shanghai’s most exciting party promoters. We chat with Yeti founder Tom Bray on the eve of their second China-versary party.

On Yeti’s eclectic bookings... We have a large appetite for different genres so we generally follow our ears. This past year we’ve focused more on pushing artists within Asia, from vinyl diggers like Seoul’s DJ Soulscape to disco veterans like Soichi Terada from Tokyo.

On where Shanghai sits in the global party rankings... London’s mental and always will be, but Shanghai’s in a very special place right now. Seoul and Shanghai are definitely the leading lights in Asia.

On Yeti’s third year plans... Going to bed earlier and eating less street food! But that’s never going to happen.

Hao Great news for video game nerds. While the film adaptation of Warcraft was a box office flop in North America (earning only USD29.9 million), it’s taken over USD180 million in under 10 days. Its streaming video rights in China were purchased by PPTV for a whopping USD18 million – reportedly twice the price of the previous record holder.

BLOOD, BLOOD, BLOOD, SWEAT SWEAT SWEAT AND AND AND TEARS TEARS TEARS After 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, Pixies, to being abruptly let go by their label for disappointing sales. But as they embark on their first tour of China, the quartet seems at peace; comfortable returning to the indie rock world they once looked set to rule. Last year’s 1000 Palms – 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 Palms is an eclectic declaration of independence. “When you’re 22 years old, you think you can handle anything that comes,” Pitts reflects. “But having to think about whether songs were good for radio, and having A&R guys 4 0 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

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 record their 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 ask 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 Sunshine State. “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 bedroom, putting them on the internet and playing the bar down the street a couple times a month. If Thom 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 a long battle

with cancer, Pitts is glad “to have seen so much of the world with him and learned so many lessons.” Among his fondest 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 10-15 people,” Pitts laughs. “But we played a few 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.’” july 13, 8.30-10.30pm, rmb120-180. mao livehouse, 3/f, 308 Chongqing nan lu, by jianguo Zhong lu 重庆南路308号3楼, 近建国中路

Hallé to the Bard

Renowned Orchestra Pays Tribute to Shakespeare BY Andrew Chin

Russell Hart

hanghai Grand Theatre’s yearlong celebration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death continues with a Bard-centric concert by the hallowed Hallé Orchestra on July 15. “The concert covers four of Shakespeare’s extraordinarily wide-ranging plays,” says musical director Sir Mark Elder. “King Lear is a superbly dramatic overture by Berlioz. Othello is one of Dvořák's triptychs of concert overtures on the theme of ‘Nature, Life and Love.’” “The Merry Wives of Windsor is a charming overture by the German composer Otto Nicolai, founder of the famous Vienna Philharmonic. And of course, there’s Walton’s brilliant score of Henry V.” William Walton’s Academy Awardwinning score to Laurence Olivier’s 1944 film is a certified classic, with suites from the score frequently performed around the world by orchestras today. Elder notes that the famed actor and director often attributed the film’s success to its score before describing its enduring appeal. “Its success lies in the way it draws on centuries of English and French music cultures, at the same time providing so much of the dramatic impetus of the story,” he says. “It is intensely graphic and descriptive – no one can forget the image, or the sound, of the English archers’ arrows fizzing skywards as they sped towards the enemy. Everything is completely relevant to the story; there isn’t a wasted note in it.” Actors Malcolm Sinclair and Tom McKay will perform as guests at the concert, as part

of the Hallé Orchestra’s partnership with the acclaimed Manchester School of Theatre. Innovative initiatives have been the norm as Elder has steered the Hallé Orchestra from near closure to its return as one of the world’s most celebrated orchestras.

“Many of our players are involved in work outside the concert hall: with young people, in homes for the elderly, in prisons”

In addition to starting their own record label in 2003, which has since won five Gramophone Awards, the Hallé has added a family of youth ensembles “to sow the seeds of musical enthusiasm in the next generation.” “We try to honor our long legacy by performing at the highest possible standard,” Elder says. “The orchestra plays to around 70,000 children each year with programmes specially devised to engage young minds new to classical music, some of whom play

along with the orchestra.” “Many of our players are involved in work outside the concert hall: with young people, in homes for the elderly, in prisons. Manchester is fortunate in having a conservatoire of worldwide reputation, the Royal Northern College of Music, and we work closely with them. Their leading students often play with, and even conduct the Orchestra.” Excited to return to China for the fifth time, Elder makes sure to praise past collaborator Hong Xu as “a wonderful pianist who has been making a worldwide career whilst based in Wuhan.” In addition to their Shakespeare concert, the Hallé Orchestra will play with Xi’an-born, London-based cellist Wang Jian on July 14 for the first time. “My colleagues at the Hallé have been very excited about Jian’s artistry since he first appeared with the orchestra,” Elder says. “Elgar’s Cello Concerto is not only one of the greatest concertos for this eloquent instrument, but it captures the essence of a certain typically English character. Wistfulness, regret, longing and determination in the face of extreme sadness.”

or six years, Music in the Summer Air (MISA) has been one of Shanghai’s most eclectic festivals, bridging contemporary classical with other mediums. With a theme of The Swinging Sixties, MISA 7 takes over the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Hall and Shanghai Urban Music Lawn from July 2-15. Here are the highlights.

The oldest of America’s 'Big Five' orchestras has the honor of being this year’s MISA orchestra-in-residence. They open the festival with the worldwide premiere of The Light of Summer on July 2 and will perform a concert accompanying Charlie Chaplin’s silent film City Lights (July 7). The next day, renowned violinist Gil Shaham joins for a concert devoted to the philharmonic classics.

13 Most Beautiful... Songs from Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests

MISA concludes on July 15 with the world premiere of an original piece by award-winning Turkish pianist Fazil Say commissioned by the festival. The piano concerto, China Impressions, will be accompanied by three works from Chinese composer Zhou Ye, including the symphonic overture Hunting Tigers Up in the Mountain, adapted from the Chinese opera, Dock Memories.

As founder of Galaxie 500 and Luna, guitarist Dean Wareham’s name is imprinted in indie rock lore. Now he’s focusing on film scores with partner Britta Phillips. On July 13, they perform their 2010 show commissioned by the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, scoring a collection of screen tests filmed by Warhol in the 1960s featuring stars from The Factory like Lou Reed, Nico and Edie Sedgwick.

The Dark Side of the Moon

Emerging from the UK’s psychedelic scene of the 60s, Pink Floyd would define classic rock with concept albums like their 1973 opus. Thierry Balasse recreates the album live with nine other musicians on July 5 in Compagnie Inouïe’s thrilling re-interpretation that incorporates synthesizers, sound effects and plenty of other gadgets.

If This is Grime’s Moment, Royal-T Wants to Grab it by Oscar Holland

or the first time since emerging from East London in the early 2000s, grime is threatening to break out Stateside. In the past year, British rappers have toured the US, Kanye West has appeared on stage with a cohort of grime MCs, and Drake even got a ‘BBK’ tattoo in admiration of UK record label and collective Boy Better Know. But the prospect of going global is making some uncomfortable. Perhaps the memories are too fresh of America’s embrace of dubstep, which gave rise to the thoughtlessly abrasive ‘brostep’ (epitomized by Skrillex) and effectively destroyed the UK’s interest in a genre it had created. Drawing musically from 90s jungle and garage – and lyrically from inner-city life in Britain – grime’s re-interpretation overseas may threaten its founding essence. But for one of the scene’s most respected DJs and producers, Royal-T (real name Mark Taylor), it's an exciting opportunity for UK music. “If [American interest] was to kill grime it would be our own fault, because we have the attention of the world right now,” he says. “It is definitely a dream for me. I was just happy when ‘Wearing my Rolex’ [by ‘Godfather of Grime’ Wiley] got to No. 2 in the UK charts back in 2008. But I thought that was going to be the peak – I never expected this. “Having said that, when it comes to America, I don’t necessarily think it’s the music that is blowing up – it’s grime culture that has become popular. It might sound like I’m bitter or hating, but it’s the complete opposite. It’s a dream come true that we have all this attention.” Taylor speaks as a long-time fan of grime as well as part of its scene, having followed the genre since his teenage years. Although he grew up a little over 100 kilometers from 4 4 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

London (less than the distance between the farthest points of Beijing), Taylor’s interaction with the capital’s music scene was largely limited to record stores and the Internet. “You could get to London in about two hours in a car, which doesn’t seem that much. But in England, it is. Also, there’s a massive difference in the music scenes. In Southampton, we like to think we’re close to Londoners, but we’re not.

“If American interest was to kill grime it would be our own fault, because we have the attention of the world right now”

“Instead, I’d go and buy as much grime as I could in shops. I was obsessed with the whole genre. It was like my little secret thing I that I’d found and no-one knew about. This was pre-social media, so I’d go to school with a menu of mixtapes to show people. That’s how I knew I wanted to DJ. I had this obsession with finding and spreading music.” The opportunity to do so professionally arose when, as a 17-year-old, he was first noticed by DJ duo Elijah and Skilliam, founders of the influential grime label Butterz. Soon he had a regular show on Rinse FM, the UK’s most influential underground music station. If, as Taylor suggests, the recent popu-

larity of grime stems from its culture, then Rinse must take a huge amount of credit. Operating as a pirate station between 1994 and 2010 (when it finally obtained a broadcast license), it has championed the genre since its inception. “I felt quite cheeky that I was part of the whole Rinse thing,” Taylor explains. “I hadn’t been DJing for a such long time, and there were lots of DJs who had been with the station in the early days, when it wasn’t legal. I felt I had to prove myself, ‘cos I was just this random guy from a random city. I wasn’t there when people were climbing tower blocks and putting up [illegal transmitters], so I felt I had to earn my spot.” It was through the station’s label that Taylor released his first full-length album, simply named Rinse Presents: Royal-T. In addition to instrumental grime and a collaboration with South London rapper P Money, the 2012 record displayed a range of influences from across the grittier side of British electronic music. Four years later, Taylor is still exploring music beyond the confines of grime. His new side project, TQD (alongside DJ Q and Flava D, who played at Arkham back in January) sees him making – and playing – more clubcentric bassline house. But as the Royal-T sound broadens, Taylor still feels part of grime’s imminent global reckoning. “Grime’s always going to be here – it’s resilient,” he says. “We just need to be careful about how we approach the next couple of years or so. It’s time for the musicians to take a stand and really bring the sound forward. It’s a massive opportunity for us.” july 8, 10pm-late, rmb80-100. arkham, 1 wulumuqi lu, by hengshan lu 乌鲁木齐路1号, 近衡山路 (6211 6317)

As the leader of China’s first all-female punk band, Hang on the Box, Gia Wang has blazed a furious path. She’s been on the cover of Newsweek, scored a Japanese record deal and toured America way back in 2003. While the group has largely been dormant since releasing their last fulllength album in 2007, they’re back and hitting up Yuyintang on July 9 for their first Shanghai show in over a decade. We let the charismatic singer handle the re-introduction.

In Their Own Words

Gia Wang, China’s Original Riot Grrrl As told to andrew Chin

fell in love with rock and roll when I was in high school. I loved punk music so much. It was a way for me to express the rebellion and hormones I was feeling as a teenager. I wanted to form a female band. While I respect Cui Jian, Cobra, Tang Dynasty and other bands from that first generation (of Chinese rock), I wasn’t influenced by them. In the summer of 1998, just before our first gig at Scream Club, an American student named Scott introduced me to Bikini Kill’s music. That first gig was quite chaotic. There were no rehearsals and no plan. Xiao Rong, the former singer of Brain Failure, wanted to help me with my guitar so he released the guitar strings before the show. Of course, I forgot to tune them when I started playing. It didn’t matter. I felt great when I was playing on stage. You can tell how I felt about the music scene at the time from the song ‘For Some Stupid Cunts at BBS’ from our first album, Yellow Banana. To be honest, I want to forget about (the 1999 Newsweek cover) until we make the cover of a bigger magazine. When you focus on your own stuff, you pay less attention to what happened in the past. I don’t remember anyone coming to me

and saying our band influenced them, but there have been some people who liked HOTB who became great musicians, like Zhang Shouwang from Carsick Cars, Ding Ke, Yuan Yuan, Chun Shu or even the journalist Tian Xiaoye. They are still friends and supporters, which we are very thankful for.

“My personal attitude is quite punk, but my music is not. I don’t want to be lumped into one style. I like interesting things – not staying the same”

My personal attitude is quite punk, but my music is not. I don’t want to be lumped into one style, which is why I’m always changing my music. There was a time I even did some experimental music. But now I prefer future rock and post rock. Maybe we’ll do some blues on the next album (smiles). I like interesting things – not staying the same.

I didn’t think the last EP (2013’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) was good enough. We changed our band members last summer and didn’t settle onto the right lineup until autumn. Our current guitar player is Xu Jingchen, who used to play for Hanggai. Our bass player is a very young and talented girl named Beibei. Da Bang’s drummer, Lin Nan, has been a great help, and we have a keyboard player named Xu Ming. I think the current lineup of HOTB is the best so far. We are planning to release two singles this summer and hopefully our new album in the winter. We want to perform more shows and let new audiences know about our past and present. This will be my first time performing at Yuyintang and only the second time we’ve played a proper venue in Shanghai. We hope we can play there as often as possible. Our song ‘Shanghai’ mocked this atmosphere of girls getting plastic surgery and marrying rich, tasteless Chinese guys. But I think this has affected Beijing as well. Actually, I think the underground culture in Shanghai is very well-developed – the girls there are more independent than before. july 9, 9pm-late, rmb100. yuyintang, 851 kaixuan lu, by yan’an xi lu 凯旋路851号, 近延安西路 (5237 8662)

Boundaries NDT’s Wang Jianhui Comes Home with D.Lab

BY Zoey Zha

ince parlaying her impressive appearance on So You Think You Dance China into the creation of D.Lab three years ago, Duan Jingting has shown that Shanghai dancers can hold their own in the contemporary dance world. For their latest show, they’ve brought Wang Jianhui of the famed Nederlands Dans Theatre (NDT) home in their ongoing mission to work with revered dancers across the world. Before Boundary’s world premiere at Shanghai Grand Theatre from July 29-31, Wang chats with That’s about his D.Lab collaboration, NDT’s China premiere and the country’s growing appreciation for contemporary dance.

Last year, NDT was the talk of the town when they performed in Shanghai for the first time. How was the experience? It was phenomenal and honestly beyond our expectations. As NDT dancers, we are quite used to sold-out shows, since it happens wherever NDT performs, but for it to happen in my country – the pride and excitement that I felt inside was indescribable. We had certain expectations before the performance, but it wasn’t until we started dancing on stage that we truly felt a passionate connection with the audience. That’s when I realized China has improved its understanding of contemporary dance. I didn’t expect the demand to be so great. Which city impressed you the most during NDT’s China tour? We were impressed by the Shanghai audience’s open mind and tolerance for such a foreign art form. They followed our movements and appreciated the beauty of contemporary dance. What is your choreography concept for your upcoming show? I was inspired by the well-known Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s work, A Walk. I

wanted to create a piece that reflects our lives, thoughts and emotions. The choreography concept is about losing oneself and enhancing one’s selfawareness. Dancers will express the progress from struggling with themselves to finding the truth through massive physical movements.

I hope the message that self-awareness – the highest realm of consciousness that can only be enhanced through observation – will be delivered. I’ve invited a brilliant NDT dancer for this work and have decided to work with some Chinese dancers this time.

“As NDT dancers, we are quite used to sold-out shows, but for it to happen in my country – the pride and excitement that I felt inside was indescribable”

“I was so impressed by [D.Lab founder Duan Jingting’s] desire to bring her dream choreographers from all over the world to come and put together a contemporary dance show for local audiences every year that is both visually and technically beautiful”

Have you collaborated with Chinese dancers before? No, this is my first collaboration with Chinese dancers since I joined NDT. When we finished our Shanghai performance last year, I received a Weibo message from Duan asking if I was interested in collaborating with her studio. We started exchanging ideas online before finally deciding on the details. I was so impressed by Duan’s desire to bring her dream choreographers from all over the world to come and put together a contemporary dance show for local audiences every year that is both visually and technically beautiful. Like she says, “It’s a great opportunity for audiences here to appreciate high-level contemporary dance.” Her courage and efforts as a domestic dancer stunned me, as I left home years ago to chase my dream abroad. Knowing that we share artistic goals of presenting high quality contemporary dance, I happily accepted D.LAB’s invitation.

In regard to your journey to becoming a NDT member, what has been your biggest achievement? I consider myself quite lucky as a dancer. NDT allows me to explore in rehearsal rooms and truly present myself on stage. In the past six years with the company, every performance is a chance to learn and I enjoyed every minute of it. To be honest, I have to keep learning as a dancer, in terms of thoughts and moves. Every dancer and artist I work with always has something to teach me. It’s almost impossible to name one or two achievements since I have grown so much as a professional dancer through their influences. july 29-31, 7.15pm, rmb80-580. shanghai grand theatre, 300 renmin dadao, by huangpi nan lu 人民大道300号, 近黄陂南路 (6386 8686, www.shgtheatre.com)

The Distant Unknown

Cutting-Edge British Contemporary Art BY Zoey Zha

We tend to assume that hi-tech devices can feed us everything we know and take us anywhere in the world,” Jiang explains. “But when exposed to a foreign culture, we instantly lose the connection and find ourselves estranged.

roup exhibitions celebrating contemporary art scenes from abroad are a common occurrence in Shanghai. However, as one of the city’s most acclaimed institutions, OCT Contemporary Art Terminal does something different with their latest exhibition, bringing together five British artists to respond to the curatorial idea of The Distant Unknown. Curator Jiang Jiehong admits that the original idea was to pair British and Chinese artists to have works in separate halls, “as if to build a dialogue between the Western and Eastern spheres.” While the idea was later abandoned for a variety of reasons, Jiang had already collected a handful of outstanding works, including pieces by Turner Prize-nominated artists Isaac Julien and Cornelia Parker. Currently the head of research at Birmingham School of Art, as well as the Director of the Centre of Chinese Visual Arts

at Birmingham City University, Jiang’s curatorial skills have been lauded thanks to past exhibitions like the 4th Guangzhou Triennial. He explains that all the collected work corresponds with the conceptual idea that Jiang had developed with the museum’s Executive Director, Zhang Peili, to expose the human vulnerability that comes with distance – physical or psychological. “We tend to assume that modern hi-tech devices can feed us everything we know and take us anywhere in the world,” Jiang explains. “But when exposed to a foreign culture, we instantly lose the connection and find ourselves estranged.” With six pieces, The Distant Unknown explores the concept of distance while showcasing the latest trends in British contemporary art across a range of mediums from photography (Cornelia Parker) to sound (Susan Philipsz). Renowned installation artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien’s five-screen installation, 'Stones Against Diamonds (Ice Cave)' dominates the center of Exhibition Hall A. It’s almost impossible to walk away as its re-

curring images of glacial, almost alien landscapes have a hypnotic effect. Carefully placed next to Julien’s work is Katie Peterson’s 'Candle (from Earth into a Black Hole)'. This fascinating piece is designed to manipulate the viewer’s senses of sight and smell through a candle that consists of 23 layers that are burned down after 12 hours – each emitting a unique scent that refers to planets and objects in the solar system. Exhibition Hall B is taken over by Ben Rivers’ 'There is a Happy Land Further Away.' The 20-minute film features footage of recorded landscapes on the remote South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu prior to its attack by a deadly cyclone last year. The quiet solitude of the exhibition hall, the footage of an exotic land and the nervous dabbing voice emitted by the headphones create a beautiful yet sad picture that defines the idea of distance from every angle. until august 28 (tues-sun), 10am-6pm, free entry. oCt Contemporary art terminal, 30 wen’an lu, by xizang bei lu 文安路30号, 近西藏北路 (www.ocatshanghai.com)

The Jungle Book

Chapterhouse Theatre Brings Wild Adventure to the Stage BY Andrew Chin

udyard Kipling’s classic tale of Mowgli, a boy who grows up in the wild raised by (mostly) lovable animals, has been a children’s classic since its release 120 years ago. Iron Man director Jon Favreau’s recent live action film adaptation raked in over USD900 million (including USD150.1 million in China) and Chapterhouse Theatre brings their stage version to The Children’s Art Theatre of China Welfare Institute-Malanhua Theatre from July 26-31. “We wanted to create something that is strong in storytelling and fun,” explains artistic director Richard Main. “The Jungle Book has songs as well as a lovely story about friendship and growing up. This is a family show. It will make adults smile and will also be fun for children.” While he praises Disney’s iconic 1967 animated film “for reflecting the overarching themes from the book while still managing to include some catchy tunes and quite a bit of silliness,” Chapterhouse Theatre has created a wholly original take. Award-winning playwright Laura Turner penned the script and Main teases the addition of a character that will strike a chord with Chinese audiences. “We also have two very endearing singing chickens and included some elements that whilst not in the book are of the book,” he adds. “The story is, to all intents and purposes, about a boy who begins to grow up and needs to be part of his own kind.” 5 0 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

He admits that it is “never easy to recreate animals and exotic locations on stage,” but promises that they’re bringing “wonderful puppets, masks and costumes” specifically made for the China shows. Since its premiere three years ago, The Jungle Book has toured the UK and Ireland twice. Ben Darlington returns as Mowgli, a role he starred in during the show’s inaugural run. Other Chapterhouse veterans Bryony Tebbutt, Hannah Douglas, Gareth Cary and Louise Mellor will also take part.

“We’ve included some elements which whilst not in the book are of the book”

“One of the most important things is the puppetry skills of these actors,” Main adds. “All of them are trained and exceptional in the interpretation of the creatures they are responsible for.” Chapterhouse Theatre’s foray into family theater marks the group’s continued evolution. The group formed in 1999 with a mission of continuing the British tradition of “theater being placed in all sorts of different environments.” “Our first production, Romeo and Juliet, was performed around the country by a

group of small actors, similar to what we do at some of the same venues,” Main explains. Their inaugural show took place at Herstmonceux Castle in 2000 and has six shows touring open-air venues across the UK and Ireland this summer. “Occasionally, the right venue and opportunity comes along and performing in China is part of that,” Main says. “It feels strange to be bringing theater to one of the great cultural capitals of the world. I genuinely hope that our visit is a great success and that our links with China will become stronger in the coming years.” > july 26-27 and 31, 7.30pm, rmb80-280. the Children’s art theatre of China welfare institute-malanhua theatre, 643 huashan lu, by wulumuqi bei lu 华山路643号, 近乌鲁木齐北路 (6248 2081)

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 is thing 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

5 2 | 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 Heqin 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.

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 as 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

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 theme park 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 into 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 five more films to be released. However, Iger’s attention is fixed on Shanghai Disney. “We’re always thinking about what to do next,” he says. “We have seven 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.” Everyday, 8am-10pm, RmB370/499. shanghai Disney, 360 shendi Xi lu, chuansha, Pudong 浦东川沙申迪西路360号 (400-180-1000, www.shanghaidisneyresort.com/en)

“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

5 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

COVER STORY 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 its 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/mph) 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 underway 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 snarls. “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: drawing over 3.6 million visitors. > 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 parks recently opened 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

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, and 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

Autism Awareness You may have noticed kids and adults alike wearing blue and yellow striped sleeves around Shanghai this spring. They were joining in the AWare sleeves campaign to promote autism awareness across the city. Xiersen, a newly established NGO whose mission is to improve the quality of special education in China for locals, has worked hard to start their AGame and AWare campaigns that they anticipate to continue year after year. US experts estimate that approximately 15 percent of the human population requires special needs support, and because these services are not as developed in China, Xiersen works to align special needs providers and professionals in Shanghai to those who need them. The AWare campaign provides a visual link to special needs providers and supporters around the world. Gap donated 8,000 pairs of high-quality sleeves to support

training for parents and teachers of children with autism and special needs. The aim was to generate cross-sector collaboration, fostering a culture of giving for children and adults, and strengthening the communities, with support shown all over Shanghai by wearing AWare sleeves. to learn more visit www.agame2016.org.

How late is too late?

When Should Women Start Thinking About Fertility By Dr. Tuck Loke Tam

More and more women are delaying starting a family, but when is optimal and what are women’s options for conceiving as they age?

ore women are focusing on their careers and are choosing to delay starting a family until ‘the time is right.’ While women in their 30s and beyond are capable of having children, it is important to have a better understanding of your body’s natural progression. The number of eggs a woman has gradually decreases in quantity and quality as they grow older, and as a result, the chances of getting pregnant also decrease. At birth, women have between one to two million eggs, but this number decreases to 300,000400,000 when they hit puberty. By age 37, most women only have 35,000 eggs left. Not only do they lose eggs, but the eggs also age and diminish in quality. As time progresses, the eggs become less functional, which results in subfertility (the condition of being less than normally fertile but still capable of conceiving). Getting pregnant at a later age can also increase the chances of having miscarriages, as well as the risks of fetal chromosomal abnormalities, which can lead to birth anomalies such as Down's syndrome. This is unfortunately a natural process of aging but in a society where career and financial stability are highly valued, finding the right partner and having children often happens later in life. So what options do women have if they want to start a family after their window of optimal fertility has passed? Evaluation is the first step, and at 6 6 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | w w w . t h a t s m a g s . c o m

Shanghai United Family Hospital and Clinics, fertility specialists can assess your potential to conceive and help treat any reversible causes like low thyroid or subfertile sperm. If the plan is to delay pregnancy, egg freezing has also become a real possibility for many women.

“The number of eggs a woman has gradually decreases in quantity and quality as they grow older, and as a result, the chances of getting pregnant also decrease”

Egg freezing has revolutionized female fertility preservation and has given women more options. While the success rate is not 100 percent, many women have seen positive results with this process, allowing them to have children at an older age. Many factors affect the overall outcome, including the age and quality of a woman’s eggs.

Preexisting conditions can make conception difficult if you are looking to freeze your eggs. When you are ready to proceed, a preconception evaluation is crucial in ruling out any underlying diseases that may affect your ability to conceive. Treatment of such conditions will certainly improve your overall chances. The technique of egg freezing is more difficult than other assisted reproductive techniques like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) because the process of freezing and thawing often damages the egg. Without a definitive plan to conceive, egg freezing is a good option to preserve female fertility. If egg freezing is not an option, using frozen donor eggs is another approach with high success rates. Although the technology is there, one must be aware that a favorable outcome is not guaranteed. The younger you are when you start, the more options can be offered in managing your infertility. So start early, get a proper evaluation and make a plan to preserve and maintain your potential to conceive in the future. You can start that dream family of yours when the time is right for you.

Entrepreneurs of Shanghai

Yael Farjun Talks about Travel Agencies and Website Start-ups Edited by Alyssa Wieting

Born and raised in Israel, Yael Farjun moved to Shanghai in 2010. She started her own business that year, first working as a tour guide and eventually growing it into a travel agency offering private, tailor-made China tours. Her brother Ofer later joined her in Shanghai, and together they started ChinaClickGo.com – a website for planning and booking tours in China. Since its launch in March, the website has quickly become an in-demand commodity for visitors. They now operate two separate divisions – one for private tours, and another for ChinaClickGo.com.

Elevator pitch: tell us what you do in less than 50 words. ChinaClickGo.com is where you can find great trips and things to do in China, all in one website. We make traveling in China easy to plan and book. It is a collection of good tours and providers, pre-approved by our team and verified for quality.

Why did you choose Shanghai? Shanghai kind of chose me. I came here expecting to stay for no more than a year, but there was (and still is) always something interesting waiting just around the corner, so I decided to stay. The people – both locals and foreigners – and the city itself are so vibrant; it’s never boring here and to me this is what matters.

What made you want to be an entrepreneur? I read somewhere that an entrepreneur will first jump over the cliff and then start building the plane on the way down. That’s what happened to me. I wanted to be my own boss but it took me some time to understand what I wanted to do. In a way, I grew into it and found that there is a lot more to being an entrepreneur than just being ‘the boss,’ and I love the challenge of it. What was you’re ‘a-ha!’ moment? My ‘a-ha’ moment was when I met three travelers on a train from Beijing to Pingyao.

They were members of a hiking club in their hometown and their dream was to hike the Great Wall. But from what they found on the Internet, they thought they could only go on a one-day trip. They had no idea that there are many other options for hiking the Wall that are much more adventurous, less touristy and definitely more memorable. I realized that people miss out on so much of what they can do; that’s where the idea of ChinaClickGo.com came from.

“I read somewhere that an entrepreneur will first jump over the cliff and then start building the plane on the way down. That’s what happened to me” What is the one most important piece of advice you would give to someone starting a new business here? Be patient. China does things in a different way – and at a slower pace than you might expect – and there will be many bumps in

the road. Patience is the number one trait you need to have if you want to build a business here. For all of you out there who want to be an entrepreneur but are a bit afraid to take the first step, stop over-thinking it and just go for it.

What would you say your biggest success has been? Launching ChinaClickGo.com was a major step for us. Starting as a small agency, it took a long time to build our network of travel partners, sort out the good ones and eventually build the website. So launching it was, on its own, a major success. The road is still long, but we know we are on the right track, and we are very excited about it. Where do you see your company in five years? Our goal is to change the way people travel in China – not just how they plan and book their tours, but also in what they choose to do and experience here. In five years, we plan to offer our travelers many more great tours and things to do in China, and also expand to other countries.

Healing Homes for Children in Need

How the Baobei Foundation Changes the Lives of Orphaned Children

By Isabella Farr

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

hree years ago, Tiffany Powell welcomed her son, Reid, into her family after the Baobei Foundation brought him from a Chinese orphanage to Shanghai. Reid was one of the many children who were given life-saving medical treatment by Baobei, after arriving in Shanghai and receiving surgery when he was just 10 days old. Today, Reid sits in his permanent home in Jinqiao, speaking a mix of Chinese and English, laughing, excited, and happy. Powell, who is originally from the US, started working for the Baobei Foundation after hearing about their work at a parent organization meeting held at Concordia International School, only a month after arriving in Shanghai. “I came home and said, ‘There is this incredible organization called Baobei.’ Five months later, we called them and asked how we could help,” Powell says, as she hands Reid a bowl of Chex. “I started out as a healing home family, for several different children.” Founded in Shanghai in 2008, the Baobei Foundation provides both life-saving surgeries and post-surgical rehabilitation to abandoned Chinese orphans with disabilities and severe medical conditions. The name of the

“What we need is for families to love these babies and help them heal while they’re waiting to be adopted” foundation, Baobei, translates into English as ‘precious child.’ For Baobei, every child, regardless of his or her health conditions, should be loved and cared for and treated as precious. As Powell explains, “Baobei takes care of babies in life-threatening situations.” The Baobei Foundation aims to bring in abandoned babies from orphanages across China and fund any necessary surgeries. All babies are brought to Shanghai Children’s Medical Center in Pudong, and are given ap-

charit y | COMMUNIT Y

propriate care and treatment, including any follow-up surgeries or physical therapy. With donations from the community, Baobei funds all medical care that these babies require. After their treatment, Baobei places these children in a foster home that the charity calls ‘healing homes.’ “It has been proven that babies just heal so much better with love and care and with a family, rather than being in an orphanage situation,” Powell says. Nothing proves this more than watching 3-year-old Reid run around his home with a grin on his face. While Baobei is not an adoption agency, they hope that their babies will be put on the adoption list and be taken in by caring and loving families across the world. “What we need is for families to love these babies and help them heal while they’re waiting to be adopted,” Powell states. Until then, she and the hundreds of other families volunteering for Baobei continue to take children into their homes. In addition to having three babies long term, Powell houses babies for anywhere between a day and a week, depending on the situation. “Sometimes we bring in babies for a few days while they wait for follow-up surgery,” Powell says, turning to

Reid and asking him whether or not he likes playing with the babies. “We have babies come today?” Reid asks his mom while jumping around the room. At present, Baobei has helped more than 150 babies heal and recover from their surgeries, and have them placed into loving homes. As Powell said, “Every baby [of Baobei’s] is a success story. All of our babies come out wonderful and healthy.” Unlike other non-governmental childcare organizations, the Baobei Foundation is located right in the heart of the issue. “At Baobei, we’re so lucky to be in the unique position to be able to help hands-on and change the lives of these babies.” For Reid and the hundreds of other children brought to Baobei, their lives have been changed forever. to get involved with the Baobei foundation, email volunteer@ thebaobeifoundation.org to get on the newsletter list. to donate, head to www.thebaobeifoundation.org/donate and learn more about how you can help save a child’s life today.

McDonald’s ‘Naughty Green Burger’ Whether you’ve played it or not, most people are at least familiar with the game Angry Birds. You know, that game where you throw disgruntled birds at rudimentary built fortresses that are defending evil green pigs? In honor of the impending release of the new Angry Birds film in China, McDonalds several new themed menu items, the most intriguing of which would have to be the ‘Naughty Green’ Pork Burger, named for its lurid affiliation with the evil green pig camp. At first glance, the burger raises some questions. How could a bun that color possibly taste good? Is it possible that its strange hue provides the consumer with one full serving of vegetables? (Unfortunately, it does not.) The burger itself wasn’t half bad. It wasn’t as large or as succulent as the advertisement made it appear, but then again they never are. The burger included a pork patty, an egg, lettuce, a mysterious sauce with a hint of jalapeños, and the notorious green bun. Setting one back a mere RMB28 (that’s for the burger alone), it is quite satisfying, and we will freely admit that we were “lovin’ it.” CJ

The end of

Shanghai Street Foo

What Will Remain of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Authentic Food Culture in the Wake BY Betty Richardson

7 2 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | www . t h a t sm a gs . c o m

e of Gentrification?

iving in Shanghai, the presence of street food on every corner is a quintessential part of daily life. Or at least, it used to be. The fact of the matter is that if you’re living in Shanghai now, you’re witnessing the slow, protracted death of the city’s street food culture, as the places that once sheltered small-time vendors are demolished to make way for the malls, chains and skyscrapers that are the new face of the city. Many of the city’s oldest food streets have already closed. Places like Jing’an’s Wujiang Lu ‘Snack Street,’ the 100-yearold Tangjiawan wet market, Pengpu night market and Sipailou Lu food streets have all fallen under the axe of gentrification, replaced with cleaner international chains that fit with the city’s image overhaul. Now, the last remaining streets are also facing closure, leading to the question: Is the payoff for the modern replacements worthwhile compared to the Shanghainese cultural heritage that will be sacrificed? For Jamie Barys, co-founder of UnTour Shanghai, a local company that organizes street food tours around the city, the onset of change has been agonizing and slow. “Dozens of the places we used to go have been shut down recently,” she tells me. “We’ve had to re-route our night market tour because so many of the vendors we used to visit simply aren’t there anymore.” She’s referring mainly to the cartpushing vendors who used to make their trade selling anything from chaomian (fried noodles), roujiamo (roasted meat buns), stinky tofu, chuan’r (meat and vegetable barbecue skewers) and other cheap, authentic eats that used to be part of Shanghai’s food culture. Where have they gone? “We don’t really know,” Barys says with a shrug. “One day the chengguan [local law enforcement officers] came and disbanded them, and they never came back.”

Shouning Lu It’s not just the cart-pushing vendors that are feeling the brunt end of the crackdown; hole-in-the-wall eateries too have felt the noose tighten. Shouning Lu, also known as ‘the crayfish street,’ lies at one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods and is lined with small restaurants boiling, grilling and frying enormous quantities of crimson-hued crayfish. It’s home to family-owned businesses, many waidiren (immigrants from outside of Shanghai) that specialize in street-style seafood. It’s peak crayfish-eating season and the summer air is thick with the smell of garlic and crustacean steam, but despite the bustling atmosphere, there are surprisingly few punters. As recently as last year, the street’s sidewalks were peppered with tables filled with locals. Since the crackdown, however, the atmosphere has changed. One local seller surnamed Zhang recalls Shouning Lu’s day of reckoning. “They came with a huge dumpster and threw away anything that was over the threshold. Now we aren’t allowed to have any tables or chairs on the street, and they closed down some of our neighbors who didn’t have the proper business licenses.” There are plenty of seats inside the restaurants, of course, but hardly any are full. “Many of our local customers have moved away since the new developments started,” Zhang says, pointing to a cavernous hole of demolished lane houses that once housed Shouning Lu’s residents. It’s not all bad news for Shouning Lu. Since the crackdown, the practice of aggressively hawking customers into the restaurants has been curtailed. “The chengguan are here everyday now,” Zhang notes, looking over her shoulder at a trio of law enforcers who police the street nightly.

Zhaozhou Lu A worse fate awaits at the nearby Zhaozhou Lu – home to some of the city’s most famous street food vendors. Here, vast stretches of the street, which come alive at night with the scenes of locals eating at streetside tables, are to be demolished this summer, bringing an end to one of Shanghai’s last great food streets. The reason? To make way for a new commercial and residential development. One of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, the street brings together an astonishing culmination of traditional eateries, run by both locals and waidi operators from as far as Dongbei and Anhui. If food has the ability to bring people together, this street is the testament for this part of town. Luckily, this isn’t the end for the street’s more scalable eateries. Erguang Hundun, famous for selling enormous stuffed wontons and pork cutlets, has been open 22 years. It is now preparing to close its famous Zhaozhou Lu location. Proprietor Mrs Wang has already begun asking their loyal customers to find them at their new location, but is unsure of her less fortunate neighbors’ fate. “When this street goes, that’s the end for a lot of these vendors,” she explains. “They’ll have to find new locations if they carry on making street food, probably out of town – some as far as Sheshan.” Further down the street, we come upon scenes of doujiang (soymilk) being made in the

streets. Boiling vats of the stuff sit upon naked gas fires, and deep fryers for youtiao (fried dough crullers eaten along with the soymilk) spit fiercely. The most popular of such vendors is Lao Shaoxing, arguably Shanghai’s most famous doujiang and youtiao business. Attracting a line of at least 10 people, the family-run operation is presided over by the eternally grouchy patriarch. For him, the end of the street means the end of the business. “I have no plans to open a new shop elsewhere,” he says dismissively while pouring us a bowl of doujiang. “Once the street’s demolished, that’s it for me, I’m too tired.” It’s a distressing thought to contemplate that this Shanghainese culinary tradition may cease to be passed down to the next generation. Other famous food vendors in the area have been lucky to avoid the same curse. The proprietor of Changjiao Mian (‘long foot noodles’), a noodle shop operated from a run down lane house by a husband and wife duo. Thanks to the business’ reputation (Anthony Bourdain ate there on a recent visit), it’s a surprisingly lucrative business – generating enough income to put the family’s daughter through medical school at Boston University. “I don’t care about the street being demolished, it doesn’t concern me,” he says brusquely as we collect a bowl of his unusually thick beef noodle soup. Thanks to its hidden location down an alleyway, Changjiao Mian has remained unscathed by the chengguan crackdowns.

Nevertheless, we can’t help but think that as the neighborhood around him changes and rents hike upwards, that Changjiao Mian’s position in this soon-to-be modernized area will be precarious. Jamie Barys explains that the chengguan don’t even bother coming here now since the days of this street are already numbered. As such, a handful of cart vendors have crept back to the street’s corner. The removal of roving street food vendors is partly an effort to tidy up areas of the city that are earmarked for new development, but is also a response to the food safety scandals that rocked China in recent years. One cart vendor, a former chef for the Jinjiang Corporation, has a foot in both camps. “I can see why the chengguan came to keep the street food in order,” he tells us. “Street food should be more organized in order to raise safety standards, some of the carts were using bad quality ingredients and making people sick.” Despite being one of the cart pushing vendors himself, we can’t help but think he’s right. Places like Singapore with their organized yet authentic hawker centers, and the vibrant night markets of Taipei get it so right, protecting their own valuable cultural heritage while making it safe for consumers and easy for the authorities to regulate. Whether that will come to fruition in Shanghai remains to be seen, but for now, visit the last bastions of the city’s once great food streets before they are gone forever.

The Place Shanghai never fails to surprise us when it comes to new foodie destinations, so we didn’t even bat an eyelid when we first encountered Urban Diner, a gourmet fast food restaurant situated opposite the enormous Ferris wheel on the rooftop of Joy City mall. With full-on Americana interiors, the restaurant is an updated concept from the Urban Diner that formerly resided on Nanchang Lu, run by the same Beijingren couple.

The Food

To start, the chipotle braised beef neck nachos (RMB88) are a must-order, and the best thing on Urban Diner’s menu. Boasting a mixture of crispy chips, melted cheese and slow-cooked roasted beef neck, this hearty dish also comes with red chili, refried beans, sour cream and chopped avocados. Equally good are the beer shrimp quesadillas (RMB68), each slice filled with fresh shrimps enveloped in melting mozzarella. Flavorful and addictive, we were impressed by the generous amount of ingredients and cleaned our plate in seconds. 7 6 | j u ly 2 0 1 6 | www . t h a t sm a gs . c o m

If you like it hot, the ‘five alarm’ chicken wings (RMB68) or dragon’s breath pork ribs (RMB188) may make you scream. The latter comes with secret-recipe Sichuan chili sauce for an added numbing kick. No American diner is complete without burgers. Urban Diner’s Bonzai burger (RMB78) features a thick Australian Angus beef patty topped with teriyaki sauce and several slices of avocado. Tender and juicy, the top quality ingredients speak for themselves, and we found its flavor both rich and non-greasy. Sadly, desserts were a bit of a disappointment. Instead of using the obligatory fresh cream, Urban Diner’s banoffee pie (RMB48) sees dry and crumbly coconut as toppings and a thick and equally parched pastry as the base. Best save your stomach space for another savory dish. 2/3

The Vibe

Modern and bright, the restaurant looks clean, casual and relaxed thanks to its spacious room and simple design. Sit on the terrace for an exclusive Ferris wheel view, or the dining area inside where you get to over-

look the mall’s colorful ‘foodie street’ (Neon Street), which covers two floors. Servers are well trained and friendly, and the place is welcoming for younger diners and families. 1/1

Value for Money In a competitive market filled with exotic food, an RMB58-78 burger with good quality beef isn’t a bad deal in Shanghai. Coupled with the fun rooftop vibes and laidback atmosphere, Urban Diner is a good quality addition to the neighborhood, and worthy of a visit for casual comfort food before or after a Ferris wheel ride. 0.5/1

Total verdict: 3.5/5

Bowl’d

Bowls Deep in Acai BY Betty Richardson

The Place Cancel your trip to LA. You can finally enjoy healthy acai smoothie bowls in Shanghai, from new café Bowl’d on Anfu Lu. Opened by local vegan Jackie Chen, everything sold at Bowl’d is free from animal derivatives or added sugar, and products are made with organic ingredients.

The Food

Value for Money

They’ve currently got a selection of four bowls, from RMB36 for a small up to RMB70 for an extra large. They all come with their own toppings, but you can also add extras like hemp seed, bee pollen and other vegan-y things. As for the acai itself, they’re using an organic, freeze-dried variety from Sambazon. First up, we tried the ‘fancy berry’ (RMB46/medium), which comes with bountiful fresh fruit toppings. The bowl base is made from acai, banana, coconut water and blueberry, strawberry, blackberry, cranberry snd blackcurrant, with a refreshingly tart and sweet flavor. Our favorite, however, was ‘the hulk’ (RMB48/medium), which has a base of avocado, spinach, hemp protein, acai and housemade almond milk. Don’t worry; you definitely can’t taste the spinach, just creamy avocado and banana. 2/3

With generous portion sizes and toppings included, Bowl’d does represent good value if you're in search of a quick antioxidant fix. For vegans in particular, Bowl’d offers refreshing and healthy summer treats that are a clever alternative to ice cream or conventional dairyladen desserts. 1/1

The Vibe

Inside there’s seating for around 15 people, with tables outside for sunny weather. Bowl’d also sells juices and salads, as well as housemade nut milks (almond, cashew and hazelnut currently available) and oaty breakfast bowls. We say this place is a great spot for breakfast, casual lunches and snacks. 0.5/1

Pelikan

Nordic Food in North Jing’an BY Dominic Ngai

The Place When you search for the term ‘Nordic cuisine’ on Google, names like ‘Rene Redzepi,’ his Copenhagen restaurant ‘Noma’ and various articles on ‘New Nordic Cuisine Movement’ started by Noma cofounder Claus Meyer and chefs from the region in 2004 would pop up. These names and Pelikan’s head chef Kasper Pedersen have one thing in common – they’re all from Denmark. Backed by the folks behind Wagas and Mr Willis, Pelikan is a new and chirpy restaurant replacing La Poste on Xikang Lu. Foot traffic in this part of Jing’an is scarce; unless you live in one of the compounds nearby, you’d almost never come here. But even so, Pelikan has attracted flocks of curious diners flying in to see what this ‘Nordic Casual Dining’ concept is all about.

The Food

Total Verdict: 4/5 Price: RMB250-300 per person Who's going: office workers or residents nearby, cool kids before a night-out, girls (boys) who like hot chefs Good for: casual lunch or dinner, small group dinners, dates 225 Xikang lu, by Beijing Xi lu 西康路225号, 近北京西路 nearest metro: nanjing Xi lu, 15 mins. open daily, 11am-11pm. local cards accepted. (6266 7909)

New Nordic cuisine isn’t really defined by a specific flavor profile. Rather, its emphasis is on using local and seasonal ingredients to create simple and fresh flavor combinations on a plate. Pedersen’s attempt to recreate this experience at Pelikan works – to a certain extent. Instead of the regular breadbasket, a small plate of baby carrots and radishes paired with a refreshing herb dip that tastes of yogurt and dill starts off the meal, setting the tone for the clean, delicate plates to come. Another simple yet creative dish is the grilled bread with melted butter and yogurt (RMB38). Who knew Chinese steamed buns can taste so moreish with just a few additional touches? The charred beets with beurre blanc (RMB56) showcase Chef Pedersen’s thoughtfulness. Served in various forms – roasted, puréed and thinly sliced – it highlights the versatility of beets while vibrant shades of red remind us of autumn leaves in Canada (where Pedersen once worked). Even with all of the pungent descriptors in its name, the tea smoked raw beef with horseradish (RMB98) tastes more delicate than we had expected. Hints of smokiness and a mild zing of heat worked well to complement the protein in a

subtle manner. You’ll find the same subtlety in the marinated scallop and cucumber (RMB78) and the asparagus with poached shrimp and radishes (RMB88). These dishes, however, are almost too light and timid for us. Perhaps they needed a punch from the pungent grilled leeks and peas (RMB56)? Or maybe those perfectly crispy roast hasselback potatoes (RMB48) to add some weight? While brief, the dessert menu has a couple of our favorite dishes at Pelikan. The first bite of the playful orange and carrot sorbet with hazelnuts (RMB52) immediately recalls flavors of orange creamsicle and Ferrero Rocher. ‘Danish beer bread’ isn’t normally associated with desserts, but when paired with raspberry and white chocolate (RMB58), it’s a balanced mouthful of bitterness, acidity and sweetness. 2.5/3

The Vibe

No matter where you are seated, most tables offer a clear view of the open kitchen, where you’ll find Chef Pedersen expediting service or putting final touches on his dishes. He is Pelikan’s centerpiece and has full creative control over the menu. You can feel his presence throughout the meal, as he moves in and out of the dining room, personally presenting his plates and speaking to guests. (It’s also a great marketing strategy, as our neighbors kept commenting on how shuai the chef is every time he made an appearance in our vicinity.) In terms of décor, the dining room’s wood furniture establishes the ‘casual’ part of the concept quite well, but all the bright colors and painted vegetation on the walls give off a tropical vibe rather than ‘Nordic.’ 0.5/1

Value for Money

Pelikan’s chef’s menu (10 courses at dinner for RMB300 per person; four courses at lunch for RMB142 per person) is a good way to sample all of its gems. If you order à la carte, portions are a bit small so you’ll need to get four or five dishes to share between two people. 1/1

Madison Kitchen Decadent Delicatessen Eats From Austin Hu BY Betty Richardson

The Place

The Vibe

Fans of Austin Hu’s Madison, your time has come. A successor has finally arrived in the form of Madison Kitchen. Envisioned as a New York-style delicatessen with a general store vibe, Madison Kitchen sells salads, baked goods, coffee, sodas, cured meats, house-made pickles and some of the most masterful sandwiches we've seen in Shanghai.

With just six seats, a trip to Madison Kitchen is going to involve sitting in relatively close quarters with your fellow diners. Anticipate getting your order to go and scarfing it down in the nearby park at lunch hours and weekends. Hu tells us the sandwich selection will expand in the coming weeks, along with the selection of preserves, pickles and cured meats like pastrami and cola-brined ham. 1/1

The Food

The roast beef with horseradish (RMB60) is a purist's dream. Rare, juicy and delicious, and we loved the unintrusive but fresh combination of bread, lettuce, tomato and horseradish cream. For those of more a decadent persuasion, the kimchi grilled cheese sandwich (RMB50) is not kidding around. It overflows with various molten cheeses and sandwiched between crisp grilled toast with subtly sour notes of kimchi cutting through the fatty fest. We were filled with both pride and self-loathing after eating this beautiful monster. More manageable is the meatball sub (RMB50). With tangy tomato sauce, garlic buttery vibes inside and melted mozzarella on top, this meaty guy is satisfying without making you too full. If you have any room left after, do yourself a favor and grab a cookie. The smoky sweet 'n' salty flavor of the double chocolate bacon cookie (RMB30) is heavenly, though there are also equally good vegetarian options available as well. 2.5/3

Value for Money

Lack of seating may be a problem for larger groups and families, but if you're disposed to eating quickly or on the go, a trip to Madison Kitchen is both gratifying and good value. With the exception of the lobster roll (RMB100), all the sandwiches currently on offer come in between RMB50-60, and you can really tell they're made with care both when Chef Hu is there and when his staff are helming the controls. 1/1

Straight No Chaser We’ll start with some sad news: Starling bar, situated in Zhang Plaza, has closed. We loved their colonial Southeast Asian décor and craft cocktails, but alas, it was not to be. It’s already been transformed into a new spot: Amber Whisky Lounge. On the topic of the grape however, a new wine tasting den called Anteroom has opened on Changle Lu. For RMB68 you can choose four 30ml tasting glasses out of a rotating selection of six different types, and the bottles are available for purchasing too. Popular Yongkang Lu cocktail den Revolucion has expanded to a new location at the Yanping and Wuding Lu intersection. This new spot joins Hunter Gatherer, RAW Eatery & Wood Grill, Bar Centrale and Fat Cow, which have also opened up on that block. We’re guessing the area’s residents can expect a healthy rent hike any day now. Popular Danshui Lu bar Mr Shaker has opened a new cocktail bar also within the Jing’an ‘hood, on Wuding Lu. Think zero pretense interiors, friendly staff and surprisingly serious cocktails from RMB55-60. Try the spicy ‘hotpot’ cocktail – you’ll thank us later.

Over on Shaanxi, a new bar called Shots & Sugar has popped up. With a sober café vibe by day, by night the place sells a selection of novelty shots and fruity looking cocktails. And of course, some cocktails served in light bulbs. Seriously, what self-respecting new bar doesn’t serve at least one drink in a light bulb?

XO Bar

Delivering Us From Overpriced Wine BY Betty Richardson

ots of places in Shanghai sell wine, and some of it is even very nice. But let’s be real, most of it is extremely expensive for what it is. XO is a bar that seeks to buck this trend, serving wine from ‘boutique’ European producers at prices that look more at home in your local coffee shop than a classy wine bar in the former French Concession. See, XO is the brainchild of a wine delivery app called Bottles XO. Launched in Shanghai last year, it has now spread to Hong Kong, Singapore and Suzhou. These guys forge relationships with small, lesser known wineries in Europe and secure beneficial prices for the Asian market compared to more renowned producers. Much like the app, the bar’s wine list is comprised of good value European bottles. And perhaps most importantly, all of them are available by the glass. With an average price of RMB35-45/glass, we’re going to go ahead and say this is one of, if not the best value wine bar in Shanghai. Whites start at RMB25 for a 2014 Pinot Grigio (Ca’ di Alti), RMB35 for a particularly nice 2015 Sauvignon Blanc (Chartron Le Fleur), and up to RMB65 for a 2012 Chardonnay (Domaine Faiveley). A larger selection lies within the red section, with eight offered from RMB25-45 and the rest between RMB50-85. Even bubbly can be found for RMB45 for a glass of Ca’ di Alte Prosecco, though they do offer a Champagne for RMB100/glass (de Venoge, Cordon Bleu Brut). Vibe-wise, Bottles XO has high tables and stools inside and a long bar against the windows that opens up onto the street for al fresco seating. Perhaps thanks to those advantageous prices the place is already busy, though the atmosphere remains relaxed and relatively low-key. Will we be back? You betcha. For those who like wine or simply like good value bars with a nice atmosphere, XO delivers on both counts. Price: wine by the glass from RMB25 Who’s going: locals and expats Good for: wine, casual drinking, good value, al fresco, dates, small-medium groups

Bye Joe Americanmade Baijiu

Can the Punchy Chinese Spirit Ever Be Quaffable? BY Tatiana Bautista

all us crazy, but we’re baijiu believers. However, we’re not talking about the bottom shelf Erguotou at Family Mart. We’re talking Bye Joe, a China distilled, American refined baijiu brand. Yes, really. Bye Joe has a lower ABV (35-40 percent), compared to the regular baijiu (40-60 percent ABV), which takes away the harsh, burning aftertaste and unpleasant pungency normally associated with this Chinese spirit. In charge of making this drinkable alternative is Alan Chen, who tells us that he sees Bye Joe's role in the spirit market as a means to show consumers and mixologists that baijiu can be a versatile cocktail base and quaffable spirit in its own right. His ultimate vision is to create a new reputation for it, by having more bars offer baijiu cocktails. Unlike its Chinese counterpart, Bye Joe goes down surprisingly smooth. Mixologist Logan Brouse of Logan’s Punch Bar introduced us to two new concoctions he’s crafted to bring out the best of Bye Joe. The first, which Brouse has dubbed the ‘Xiao Mei Mei’ (小妹妹, little

sister), pays homage to our favorite summertime fruit, yangmei. You know summer has arrived when fruit vendors begin to sell it, so using them in a cocktail sounds like a no-brainer. With the additions of lime and ginger, it’s a refreshingly fruity, mildly sweet and well-balanced drink. The gingery spice also hides the baijiu’s harsh aftertaste. Next up is the playfully named ‘Xiao Lang Gou’ (小狼狗, a term used to describe a boy with a sugar mama). In this drink, Brouse mixes Bye Joe’s dragon fruit-infused baijiu with passion fruit, fresh orange juice and apricot liqueur. Here, we could definitely taste the presence of baijiu, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps, we actually enjoyed the spirit’s rocket fuel-like flavor? As for whether you’ll start seeing baijiu on the shelves of your neighborhood bars, well, that remains to be seen. What we can say is that we woke up from our Bye Joe flirtation miraculously hangover free. Ganbei to that. www.byejoe.com

ou know Budweiser for its iconic vintage red and white packaging, but the classic American-style pale ale has been given an upgrade into the 21st century with a stylish modern design.

To celebrate the release of the new packaging, Budweiser teamed up with some of the Mainland’s most cutting edge visual designers and artists to stage the Budweiser Innovation Art Exhibition, which will tour 14 cities around the country, including Shanghai, Beijing Fuzhou, Xiamen and Wenzhou.

The exhibition kicked off with a star-studded party in Guangzhou’s Taikoo Hui cultural center, where renowned female fashion photographer Chen Man served as both ribbon cutter and lead star of the exhibition.

Having photographed many of China’s biggest stars, Man turned her attention to the theme of Budweiser’s new packaging for the four custom-created artworks featured in the exhibition. Updated from vintage patterns to a stylish new modern design, Chen used the brand’s heritage to create works that would pay homage to Budweiser’s past as well as its future.

“I always explore the background of my subjects before I begin my creative process,” Chen explains. “With this project, I explored the motifs of Budweiser’s heritage and how they are given a modern twist in the new packaging. Using the overarching theme of ‘innovation,’ with these four artworks I brought together a fusion of my own style with the Budweiser brand.” Be sure to catch the Budweiser Innovation Art Exhibition, coming soon to your city.

CROW is the founder and lead vocalist of internationally acclaimed heavy metal band Medusa’s Child and has in the past combined his iconic live performances with art sessions, bringing his personal motto “You can also paint a song” to life. This latest exhibit is no exception as CROW impresses and dazzles with thought provoking painted depictions of dark and soulful images.

DERBY DAY AND CASH SPLASH O’CLOCK The Shanghais Go Head to Head and Transfer Window Opens BY IAN WALKER

Former England international goalkeeper, Ian Walker played for Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City and Bolton Wanderers. In 2012 he moved to China to become goalkeeper coach of Shanghai Shenhua, before crossing the city divide to join Shanghai SIPG in 2014. Follow him on Twitter @ IanWalks1.

Shanghai Derby Derby Day again this month. Always a huge game, but with Shenhua having picked up their form, and us dropping points all over the shop, it is going to be a tight race to see who will be the top team in Shanghai this season.

Their coach Gregorio Manzano joined them from rivals Beijing Guoan at the beginning of the year and has got a good system going. Demba Ba (main picture, above) is on fire at the moment, the Senegalese striker current Chinese Super League top scorer with 12 goals. And it is always a hostile atmosphere for us at the Hongkou Stadium, so expect another cracker.

Transfer Window

Summer shopping season is upon us, and I have heard a lot of rumors about big name players coming over – and wanting to come over – and play in the CSL. You won’t see as much business as the winter transfer, when the league spent USD296 million, more than any other in the world, but the cash will still be splashed.

It is an opportunity for teams to tweak one or two foreign players in their squad. I’d better not mention any names, but expect at least one or two more big talents coming in. It is always exciting to see who decides to make the jump out East.

Euro 2016

One way players can put themselves in the shop window is at a major tournament, so the Copa America and Euro 2016 have been interesting to watch. The Euros have been a decent tournament so far (barring the crowd trouble which has no place in the game).

It has been good for the British Isles too (with the exception of Scotland, who weren’t there!), all the teams progressing from their groups. England made a bit of a mistake resting six players against Slovakia, and ending up in the tough side of the draw and a potential tie against hosts France. But with Wales and Northern Ireland playing each other, we are guaranteed a team in the quarter final. Gareth Bale (inset picture, left) is banging the goals in too, so Wales might just fancy their chances of being the surprise package of the tournament.
