BOS COMB E

BOURNEMOUTH . DORSET

Situated to the east of Bournemouth town centre, Boscombe has attracted plenty of attention from watersports enthusiasts. It provides uber-cool beach pods, with smart changing rooms and showers, designed with the surfer in mind. The beach front restaurants and bars serve up luscious meals, made from locally-sourced Dorset produce. You can walk, or take the land train from Bournemouth Pier to Boscombe Pier, and take in the breathtaking views of the beaches’ beautiful golden sands. Only a short detour will take you to Boscombe Chine gardens, which boasts a children’s water play area, mini golf, nature trail and public art trail. How to get to Boscombe? If you are out of Bournemouth, you may refer to “Visit-Dorset” website at: www.visit-dorset.com/visitor-information/travel-information/getting-here If you are from Bournemouth, you may try: YELLOW BUS (2a / 2b); OR Google Map search “Boscombe Riviera Bar” to get the most ideal route according to your method of transport.

Why Phoenix? Phoenix (pronounced as “Feng Huang” in Chinese Mandarin, 凤凰) is the mythological bird of East Asia that reign over all other birds. The males were originally called “Feng” and the females “Huang” but such a distinction of gender is often no longer made and they are blurred into a single feminine entity so that the bird can be paired with the Chinese dragon, which is traditionally deemed male. In the ancient Malay history of the Philippines, the bird is referred to as “Adarna”. Traditionally, the phoenix has a very positive connotation as the symbol of high virtue and grace, as well as the union of “Yin”（阴）and “Yang”（阳） (The Balance of Universe). According to the 1st Chapter of “Shan Hai Jing” （山海经）(The Chinese Classic Text), the head of phoenix represents virtue, the wing represents duty, the back represents propriety, the abdomen says credibility and the chest represents mercy. Phoenix is also the “August Rooster” (pronounced as “Kun Ji” in Chinese Mandarin，鹍鸡), since it sometimes takes the place of the Rooster in the Chinese Zodiac. As we are approaching 2017 Lunar New Year (begins on the 28 January, 2017), it is the rising of ﬁre phoenix according to the Chinese Zodiac Calendar, which is forecast to be a year with the blend of righteousness and justice, bombast and logistical efﬁciency.
