Tens of thousands of art lovers will descend on the city from all over the world exploring the latest creations from well-known and emerging artists, many of them from China and the rest of Asia. Hong Kong is one of three cities to host Art Basel, the world’s premier art fair, based on its position as Asia’s art hub. The city’s reputation within the creative world has also rubbed off on the local art scene which is thriving and blossoming, with several artists’ enclaves gaining prominent attention. March has been declared ‘Hong Kong Arts Month’. Aim to visit one of the fairs if you happen to be in town or just go explore some of the local galleries and art centres. You’ll find all the details in our cover story on page 10.

March is also a pleasant month to visit Hong Kong’s great outdoors. The mild weather and often sunny skies are perfect for a hike to explore Hong Kong’s natural beauty, which includes the harbour, rugged coastlines, islands and beaches, all with fantastic vistas. We’ve put together several outdoor excursions for you to experience fully the best Hong Kong has to offer, showcasing the city’s stunning geographical diversity. Please check out our story on Hong Kong’s outdoors on page 16.

The 47th Hong Kong Arts Festival also runs through most of this month, featuring genres including theatre, music, dance and opera. With a smorgasbord of top arts performances on offer, from globally established names as well as up-and-coming talent from around the world, your visit to Hong Kong comes at just the right time.

Formula E racing returns to the territory for its third annual instalment. The environmentally clean racing event, which uses only electric race cars, continues to gain global prominence. The race course winds around the Central Harbourfront, framed by soaring skyscrapers and the iconic Victoria Harbour, offering a dramatic setting for spectators to enjoy the high-speed action.

What better time to visit a flower show than in spring when the blooms are naturally at their fullest?

HISTORY MATTERS

IDENTIFYING IRISH INFLUENCES 辨識愛爾蘭的影響

While Hong Kong’s early Scottish associations are widely known, the territory's formative years were governed by the Irish for 26 turbulent years, writes Arthur Hacker. 早期的蘇格蘭組織在香港很有名，但原來，這片殖民地 早期有26個風雨飄搖的年頭，是由愛爾蘭人來統治的。 亞瑟·克赫撰

1

E

very red-blooded Irishman gets palpitations at the exaggerated claims that Hong Kong was once effectively a Scottish colony, founded and run by the Scots. As St. Patrick's Day falls on the 17th of this month, it is about time somebody gave the Irish their due credit.

It is true that Scottish traders like William Jardine, James Matheson and James Innes, the Laird of Dunkinty, started the Opium War following which Hong Kong was ceded to the British – but it was the Irish who did most of the fighting.

Captain Charles Elliot (another Scot) first took possession of Hong Kong but it was left to two great Irishmen, the first governor of Hong Kong, Sir Henry Pottinger, and military globetrotter Major General Sir Hugh Gough to clean up the mess.

When Pottinger stepped ashore to sign the Treaty of Nanking, the band played St Patrick's Day, not Scotland for Ever, and it was the 18th (Royal Irish) Regiment who acted as his guard of honour. They had borne the brunt of the fighting, with a little help from the Indian Army and four dozen gunboats.

8

www.hkcitylife.com | MARCH 2019

Sir Henry Pottinger was a man of action.

Before he was 21, he had set off on a spying mission through Baluchistan, Afghanistan and Persia disguised as a Tartar horse dealer. At one stage he pretended to be a holy man and got trapped in religious debate. To convince a Baluchi village elder that you are a venerable Tartar Hadji when you speak with a thick Belfast accent requires a measure of self-confidence and more than a little blarney.

Another great Irishman, Sir Richard Graves MacDonnell, ruled Hong Kong 'with wholesome terror' as his last posting in a string of senior administrative roles across the British Empire.

The historian Ernst Eitel, who knew him well, quoted Shakespeare to comment on the departure of this dreaded autocrat: “Here goes a Caesar! When comes such another?”

The now thoroughly cowed citizens of Hong Kong welcomed, with immense relief, the fourth Irish governor of Hong Kong, the kindly old Sir Arthur Kennedy. Sir Arthur’s style of governing was to do as little as possible and to be nice to everybody. He thus established the popular, don’t rock the boat' policy, which remained the cornerstone of Hong Kong’s political philosophy

每 一個情緒高漲的愛爾蘭人，都會對於 所謂「香港曾經是蘇格蘭殖民地，由

蘇格蘭人奠基及統治」的誇張說法感到惱恨。 適逢本月 17 日是聖帕特里克節 , 正好是時候給 愛爾蘭人還一個公道了。

事實上，雖然是由蘇格蘭商人例如 W i I l i a m J a rd i n e 、 J a m e s M a t h e s o n 和 James Innes 、 the Laird of Dunkinty 等發 動鴉片戰爭，導致香港割讓給英國，但大部份 去打仗的，是愛爾蘭人。

Charles EIIiot 隊長（另一個蘇格蘭人） 是第一個拿下香港的人，然後交給兩個愛爾蘭 人，第一任香港港督亨利體甸乍爵士和少將 Hugh Gough 爵士去收拾爛攤子。 當體甸乍上岸簽署南京條約時，樂隊奏的 是《 St. Patrick ’ s Day 》（聖帕特里克節）而 不是《 Scotland Forever 》，而且由「第 18 皇 家愛爾蘭軍團」作為榮譽護衛隊。他們忍受了 打仗的壓力，所獲得的協助，只有一些印度軍 隊和 48 艘砲艇。 缽甸乍爵士是個行動型的人。他在 21 歲時 曾擔任間諜，假扮韃靼商人去布魯吉斯坦、阿 富汗和波斯執行任務。他也曾假扮傳教士，並 加入了一場宗教辯論。當你有著濃厚的貝爾法 斯特口音時，卻要說服 Baluchi 村莊的長老相 信是一個德高望重的韃靼朝聖者，就必須擁有 一定的自信心及一些哄騙的技巧。

until the arrival of Chris Patten, the colony’s last governor. Kennedy was the first governor to have had a statue erected in his honour.

However, Kennedy was the lull before the storm. ln 1877, Sir John Pope Hennessy arrived in town. He was an unpredictable maverick who quarrelled with anybody and everybody. The army commander General Donovan, yet another Irishman, so loathed the governor that he refused to provide a military band to play at Government House on the Queen's birthday.

It took all the experience and skill of the seventh Irish governor, Sir George Bowen to restore harmony. Happily, Bowen was soon able to report to the prime minister, Lord Derby, that all was well. He added smugly that: "The ordinary work of a civil governor of Hong Kong... is not materially different from the ordinary work of the Mayor of Portsmouth." When Bowen retired in 1885, Hong Kong had been governed by the Irish for 26 consecutive turbulent years. It was during this time that Hong Kong came of age.

While, it could be said, the Scots and the English were busy making money for themselves, it was the Irish civil servants who built the infrastructure that made modern Hong Kong possible. The next Irish governor was Sir Henry Blake, who took control of the New Territories.

Unfortunately he blemished his reputation when he looted the gates of Kam Tin, to decorate his stately home in Ireland. The Hong Kong flower, Bauhinia Blakeana, a sterile hybrid, is named after this Irish vandal. In a final irony, the flower that bears his name was incorporated into the flag of the new Hong Kong Special Administrative Region under China and can be seen flying outside Government headquarters at Tamar today.■

另一個愛爾蘭人，李察麥當奴爵士，則以「有建設性的恐 怖」方式來管治香港。歷史家 Eitel 對他認識很深，在他的離去 時曾用沙士比亞名句去評論這位可怕的獨裁者：「這個凱撒大 帝！正是後無來者。」 已被充分嚇倒的香港市民，這時以籲一口氣的心情歡迎第四 任香港港督，仁慈的雅瑟堅尼地爵士。雅瑟堅尼地爵士的管治 風格是做事越少越好，而且對所有人都很仁慈。他建立了「不 要畫蛇添足」的政策，成為香港政治哲學的奠基石，直至最後 一任港督彭定康為止。堅尼地是第一個有銅像豎立起來紀念他 的港督。 堅尼地時代是風暴前的寂靜。在 1877 年，約翰軒尼詩爵士 到來。他是一個喜怒無常、特立獨行的人，跟所有人都可以吵 起架來。另一個愛爾蘭人軍隊司令 Donavan 上將，他對港督憎 惡的程度，甚至到了拒絕在女皇生日當天，提供軍樂隊在港督 府表演。這情況一直到第七任愛爾蘭港督佐治寶雲爵士上台， 用上了他所有的經驗和技巧，才能恢復和諧。寶雲爵士上任不 久，就向當時的首相 Derby 爵士匯報「一切安好」，他甚至沾 沾自喜的加一句 : 「一個香港港督的日常工作與一個樸次茅斯市 長的日常工作實際上沒有兩樣。」當寶雲在 1885 年退休時，香 港已經被愛爾蘭人管治了 26 個動盪歲月，並在這些歲月中茁壯 成長。 正當蘇格蘭人和英國人忙於賺錢之際，愛爾蘭公僕所建立的 管治基礎，使香港步向成功。另一個愛爾蘭港督是卜奇爵士， 他成功取得了新界地區的控制權。但不幸，他因為掠奪了錦田 大閘充當他在愛爾蘭家裡的裝飾品，而聲名受損。香港的市花 洋紫荊，一種雜交的品種，就是跟據這個破壞別人財產的人而 命名的。諷刺地，這種有着他名字的花被用作特區政府的新區 旗上，如今依舊在金鐘添美的政府總部外迎風飄揚。■

This article appeared in the March 2005 issue of CityLife Magazine, written by the late Arthur Hacker, author of CityLife’s History Man series. 這篇文章在2005年3月的《東方之珠》雜誌發表過，作者是已故的 Arthur Hacker， 曾是《東方之珠》歷史故事系列的作者。

The city calls March ‘Hong Kong Arts Month’. Be sure to be part of the cultural fever, whether it’s attending a festival, browsing the city’s many galleries or visiting some of the artists’ neighbourhoods.

香 港，春天的到來即藝術的春天，這座城市搖身一 般，成了文藝之都。各項精彩藝術活動、一系列藝 術展覽、全球頂級藝術品拍賣會、眾多知名藝術畫廊和古 董店、再加上蓬勃發展的創意社區，香港的亞洲藝術中心 地位毋庸置疑。本月於香港會議展覽中心舉行的巴塞爾藝 術展香港展會，是展示亞洲及其他地區頂尖藝廊所代表作 品的最佳舞台，將會吸引成千上萬的藝術愛好者到來。 三月被定義為香港藝術月。您可以參加藝術節，參觀 藝術畫廊，到訪文藝社區，感受香港的文藝熱潮。

Art 巴 塞爾藝術展 Basel Back for its seventh edition, Art Basel is firmly established as Asia’s most prestigious art show, complementing its sister offerings in Basel and Miami. As host to galleries from Asia Pacific and beyond, and bringing well-known and emerging artists from round the globe, Art Basel is a mega-gathering place for art collectors, enthusiasts and aficionados the world over.

It helps that Hong Kong enjoys a stellar reputation as a global leading art hub, especially for Chinese art, which undoubtedly played a prominent role in its selection to stage Art Basel. The fact that as a free port, Hong Kong levies no duties or taxes on art purchases, plus its efficient delivery infrastructure, makes Hong Kong that much more attractive for art sellers and collectors.

This year, Art Basel features exhibitions ranging across painting, photography, sculpture, film and video, showcasing Asia’s creative diversity, with substantial exhibition space devoted to Asian-based galleries. Over 250 exhibitors and galleries are expected to participate in seven show sectors: Galleries, the main section where galleries feature their artworks; Insights, which presents precisely curated projects that highlight artists from Asia and the Asia-Pacific region; Discoveries, showcasing emerging talents at an early stage in their career; Kabinett, in which artists present a curated exhibition in an architecturally delineated space within their booths; Encounters, which features largescale sculpture and installation works throughout the exhibition halls; Film, offering short films and special screenings by and about artists; Magazines, where art publications from around the world display their magazines; and Conversations, a series of lectures and discussions by and among prominent members of the art community. 今年是巴塞爾藝術展的第七年，顯然它已成為亞洲最負盛名 的藝術展，牽動著全世界藝術愛好者的心。巴塞爾藝術展——同 樣也將在瑞士巴塞爾和佛羅里達州邁阿密舉行——參展的藝廊半 數來自亞洲及亞太區，世界各地的收藏家、藝術家紛紛到此欣 賞，堪稱是大型藝術聚會。 香港不僅是世界上最大的藝術中心之一，也是中國藝術中 心，享負盛名，這也是巴塞爾藝術展選址於此的原因之一。此 外，在香港購買藝術品不需支付稅費，配送方式安全快捷，使得 藝術品銷售商和收藏家更加青睞這裡。 今年，巴塞爾藝術博覽會將展出各種展覽，包括繪畫、攝 影、雕塑、電影和紀錄片等，展示亞洲藝術多樣性，並為亞洲區 內多元藝術創作提供大量展覽空間。預計將有超過250家參展商 和畫廊參與其中，共有7個展區：「畫展」乃是重中之重；「藝 術探新」展區為全球新一代當代藝術家在他們事業起步初期提供 國際級的展示平台。「策展角落」將於獨立的空間重點展出專題 群展、藝術歷史項目或個人展覽。「藝聚空間」展示全球著名藝 術家創作的大型雕塑及裝置，突破傳統展會展位的界限。「光映 現場」展區將呈獻一系列由藝術家為主題的精彩短片及特別放映 節目。「藝文出版」以獨立或團體形式展出其藝術期刊。最後與 巴塞爾藝術展對話將於展會期內每天舉行的一系列座談會，邀請 國際藝壇的知名人士就創展示藝術品等題材提出專業獨特的見 解。

荷李活道及周邊

Hollywood Road and Nearby The world-famous Hollywood Road, which traverses the hillside from Central to Sheung Wan, is the granddaddy of Hong Kong’s commercial art districts, and without doubt a must-visit destination for all art and antiques lovers. Lined with avant-garde galleries featuring Asian and Western artworks and Chinese antique shops, the road has been the catalyst for transforming the area into trendy, hip neighbourhoods. Recently, PMQ along Hollywood Road has established itself as a hub for local designers. You’ll want to check out the plethora of antique shops that line the road, including Oi Ling, which curates pieces ranging from Bronze Age objects to Qing Dynasty furniture. Down the hill in the heart of Central, Chinese Arts and Crafts offers some of the finest jade collections from master artisans in China.

大名鼎鼎的荷里活道，橫貫中環至上環，是香港商業藝術區的鼻祖。路兩旁 林立著兼具亞洲和西方藝術特色的前衛畫廊，以及中式古董店，都是這裡轉變為 時尚街區的催化劑。荷李活道沿線的元創方已經成為設計中心，還有星羅棋布的 古玩店，如燕譽堂等，陳列著從青銅器時代到清代的各式古董。位於中環的中心 地帶的中藝，收藏著大量中式精緻美玉。

Local Art Scene

當地藝術展館

由於香港藝術中心地位的確立，當地經歷了一次文藝復興，繁榮的藝術 展館在香港街區拔地而起，彰顯了這裡的色彩與活力。位於舊中區警署的 大館，作為藝術和文化遺產，備受矚目。大館－古蹟及藝術館是大館的一部 分，經常舉辦一些當代藝術展覽。 大量藝術區拔地而起，其中以香港仔附近的黃竹坑最為精彩，由工業大 廈改建而成的20多間展覽館都值得一看。香港的街頭藝術也在蓬勃發展，比 如在上環、觀塘、深水埗等地隨處可見的街頭塗鴉，歡迎您來此參觀。

其他藝術活動

Perhaps encouraged by the city’s success as an art hub, Hong Kong’s local art scenes have undergone a renaissance, with flourishing art enclaves sprouting up in several neighbourhoods across the city, adding to their colour and vibrancy. The opening of Tai Kwun, the city’s most high-profile art and heritage destination, located in the former Central Police Station, is a much welcome and long-awaited addition.

The Tai Kwun Contemporary, part of Tai Kwun, hosts a slate of contemporary art exhibition in its custom-made gallery spaces.

Other enclaves are cropping up all over the city.

Noteworthy amongst them is Wong Chuk Hang, near Aberdeen, in the south of Hong Kong Island, where over 20 galleries are housed in converted industrial buildings.

Hong Kong’s burgeoning street art, which for the most part comprises paintings on building walls, is also well worth checking out. You can find lively street art paintings in several neighbourhoods including Sheung Wan, Kwun Tong and Sham Shui Po.

Surprisingly, for a city known for its population density, 70 percent of Hong Kong is actually green, and largely unspoiled. The geographical and biological diversity of the city also astounds: 700 kilometres of varied coastline, soaring mountains, lovely beaches, quaint village hamlets and beautiful islands, together populated by more species of flora and fauna than in many large countries.

We’ve put together four fun excursions, each with a varied itinerary and including some out-of-the-way places that showcase the best outdoor elements Hong Kong has to offer. One or more of these trips could be the highlight of your visit to Hong Kong.

Dragon's Back and Shek O

龍脊和石澳 The Dragon’s Back is a mountain ridge behind Shek O, an iconic village and beach in the south-east of Hong Kong Island. Known as one of the best urban hiking trails in Asia, the Dragon’s Back offers sweeping views of the South China Sea on one side and a dramatic mountain landscape on the other.

There are several options to enjoy this hike. We suggest you take First Bus Number 9 from Shau Kei Wan and get off at the junction between Shek O Road and Cape Collinson Road near Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution. From there, begin your ascent to the trail – a few kilometres fairly level before the ascent to the small ridge. You’ll be greeted with stunning vistas all round. 石澳是位於香港島東南部的一個舒適海灘，“龍脊”則是石澳後面沿著 山脊的行山徑，被評為『亞洲最佳市區遠足徑』。在“龍脊”行山，一邊可 俯瞰著一覽無余海景，還可以飽覽壯觀的山巒景觀。 有多種交通方式到達這裡。您可以從筲箕灣乘搭9號巴士，然後在石 澳路與歌連臣角道的交匯處下車，也是大潭峽懲教所所在地。從這裡出 發，步行幾公里的路程即可到達山坡，從這裡走到山脊，還可觀賞壯麗的 山巒美景。

Leave the trail at To Tei Wan on Shek O Road and walk to nearby Shek O, to catch some sun on the beautiful white sand beach. This quaint village, with its colourfully painted houses is popular with visitors and locals alike. Optionally, the Shek O Headland a little further along the road offers dramatic scenes of waves crashing against rocks. End your visit with either a BBQ cook-out or visit one of several eateries close to the beach, before taking Bus Number 9 for a spectacular ride back to the city. 您還可以在石澳路的土地灣下車，步行至石澳，沐浴著 陽光享受靜謐沙灘。古樸的石澳村是知名的打卡地，這裡有 色彩繽紛的房子供您拍照。繼續前行可到達石澳山仔路，巨 大的海浪沖擊這裡的岩石，十分壯觀。順便在這裡的海邊 餐廳享用一頓海鮮燒烤，給這趟短途的戶外之旅畫上圓滿句 號，最後搭乘9號巴士返回市區。

Sai Wan Ho to Devil’s Peak to Mau Wu Shan Bunker along Wilson Trail Section 3 This moderately strenuous hike offers sweeping views of Victoria Harbour, and visits two abandoned military bunkers from World War II. Start your trip with a relaxing old-style ferry ride from the Sai Wan Ho Ferry Pier in eastern Hong Kong Island, to Lei Yue Mun (Sam Ka Tsuen) – there are two routes, so check you have the right one. From there, walk about 15 minutes to the entrance of the Tsuen Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery, a winding road up the mountain.

Look for signs to the Devil’s Peak on the Wilson Trail, where an abandoned fort, Gough Battery, awaits at the top of the hill. The views of the harbour and across to Hong Kong Island are gorgeous. Follow the trail via two more hills, and a ridge ascent brings spectacular views of Kowloon. After the second peak, look for the trail signed for Mau Wu Shan Bunker, another WWII relic, overlooking Tseung Kwan O and Sai Kung beyond. You can now either retrace your steps for a sumptuous seafood dinner at Lei Yu Mun or continue along the Wilson Trail to Po Lam Road, for a bus back to the city.

沿港島徑3段的 西灣河、魔鬼山頂 及茅湖山觀測台 這條路相比其他路徑稍微艱險一點，但沿途可以飽 覽維多利亞美景，還可以參觀二戰時期遺留下來的軍事地 堡。在港島東部的西灣河碼頭，乘坐上世紀70年代的舊 式渡輪到鯉魚門（三家村），開啟一段輕鬆之旅。由這裡 出發，步行約15分鐘，便可到達將軍澳華人永遠墳場的 入口。前面便可看到衛奕信徑上的魔鬼峰，此外一座廢棄 的堡壘——歌賦砲台坐落在山頂上，是漫步和拍照的好地 方。沿著這條小徑，你還可以飽覽海港和香港島的美景， 繼續向前還有兩座山峰，沿著山脊攀登，九龍的美景便可 一覽無遺。到達第二個山頂之後，沿著小徑便可通往茅湖 山觀測台，這是第二次世界大戰的另一個遺跡，在這裡還 可以俯瞰將軍澳和西貢。你可以沿原路折回，在鯉魚門享 用豐盛的晚餐，或沿衛奕信徑步行至寶琳路，乘搭巴士返 回市區。這裡可飽覽香港全景，是您戶外郊遊的不二之 選。

Central to Western waterfront Instagram trail This is an easy walk that satisfies both the eyes and the tummy, taking in numerous landmarks and many excellent photo spots.

Start at Tamar Park in Central and walk westward along the waterfront, passing the Observation Wheel, the Star Ferry and the Central Ferry Piers. Pass through the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal and along the waterfront to the pleasant Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park, featuring a spacious lawn, fountain and rest area. Further along, past the produce markets, the Western District Cargo Basin Working Area, or ‘Instagram Pier’, is right on the water’s edge, with cargo containers a cool background for your photos. A little further, and Kennedy Town Praya is a waterfront promenade lined with restaurants and bars. The final Instagram spot, the Sai Wan Swimming Shed, is beyond the main built-up area, accessible from Victoria Road above. Hardly anybody swims there now, but a solitary pier sticking out into the harbour makes for a great photo spot. Return to the praya or the rest of Kennedy Town for your choice of fine food and drink.

從中環一路向西—— Instagram之旅 這條路徑輕鬆易走，景觀無數，美食不斷，還可以上你的相機拍攝不停。由中環 添馬艦公園出發，沿海濱向西漫步，途經摩天輪、天星碼頭及中環碼頭。繞過港澳碼 頭繼續前行，就到了中山紀念公園，這裡草地、噴泉、休息區自成一體，是休息的好 地方。再往前走，穿過農貿市場，就到了西區公共貨物裝卸區，也叫做Instagram碼 頭，因為這裡靠海，岸邊擺有很多集裝箱，顏色各異，很適合作為拍照背景，很多遊 客慕名而來打卡。再向前便是堅尼地城海旁，這條濱海長廊兩側樹木與餐廳林立。最 後一個景點——西環泳棚還需繼續向西，從域多利道走進去，你會發現幾乎沒有人在 這裡游泳，但一個孤零零的碼頭，想必拍出來的照片一定很有意境。最後在這邊的酒 吧和餐廳大吃一頓，喝點飲品，這條觀光之旅就可以圓滿結束嘍。

Lamma Island This beautiful island, Hong Kong’s third largest, is a favourite with locals and visitors alike, noted as the birthplace of superstar actor Chow Yun Fat. The island is blissfully free of motor traffic with Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan the best-known villages. Take a ferry from Pier 4 in Central to Yung Shue Wan where you can stroll through the village lined with friendly shops and bars/restaurants. Take the path to Sok Kwu Wan, with perhaps a stop for tofu custard at the stand beside the path. Before the moderate ascent, Hung Shing Ye Beach offers a pleasant respite. The hike up to the ridge has a stunning view of the islands and the sea, while the descent to Sok Kwu Wan passes through a sleepy bay with ducks and other birds foraging in the wetlands, as well as a stately old Tin Hau temple.

You’ll then be very ready to enjoy a nice meal at one of the village’s famous seafood restaurants before directly catching a ferry back to Central.

南丫島 是香港第三大島，深受遊客和當地居民喜愛，除景色優美外，也因是演員周潤發的出 生地而聞名。這裡宛若田園詩般靜謐美好，甚至都沒有四輪汽車。榕樹灣和索罟灣是必去之 地，在中環4號碼頭乘坐渡輪到達榕樹灣，沿著島嶼海邊漫步，可以看到各類商店、酒吧和 餐廳。在去往索罟灣的路上有一家出名的豆腐花店，千萬別錯過。吃完美食沿小路繼續向前 便是洪聖爺灣泳灘，停下來曬曬太陽，吹吹海風，準備上坡，一路沿着山脊可以看到壯闊海 景，下山路的盡頭處便是濕地區，那裡雀鳥和野鴨在悠閒漫步。前面便是一個古老而莊嚴的 天后廟，也是這條路徑的重點，在搭乘渡輪迴中環之前，一定要到那裡的海鮮餐廳享用一頓 美餐，你絕對不會失望。 MARCH 2019

Venerated Culture Gets

An Ultra - Modern Home 先进外衣里的

S

tanding alone at the edge of the still-developing West Kowloon Cultural District on Austin Road, the Xiqu Centre cuts a stunning and imposing architectural figure – audacious building curves, all-white exterior, and seemingly aloof from the hurly burly of the nearby city. Walk inside, and Xiqu’s ascetic but welcoming interiors deliver a visceral visual treat to visitors. It’s hard to conceive that such a modern venue is now the new home – and in time, the keeper – of the city’s Cantonese Opera culture. But that’s exactly what Xiqu, a major component of this long-awaited cultural district, is intended for.

As Louis Yu Kwok-lit, Executive Director of Performing Arts for the West Kowloon Cultural Authority, enthuses, “it’s bamboo theatre getting a post-modern home, and with it, a new and younger audience” – alluding to traditional holiday performances of Cantonese opera at temporary open-air venues made of bamboo scaffolding. With Cantonese opera included in 2009 on UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Heritage of Humanity, it’s high time and welcome news that Cantonese opera, an operatic form comprising music, singing, dance, acrobatics and movement, is finally getting its due.

Yu, who took up his role in 2010, is a veteran of public sector art development. He was formerly Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, and before that, Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Arts Centre. He wears his passion for Cantonese opera on his sleeve and is over the moon that, finally, Hong Kong has a world-class performance facility to properly pay tribute to this venerable art form.

傳統文化 戲 曲中心位於柯士甸道，是處於發展階段的西九 文化區一角，外形設計十分大膽，獨特的藝術

曲線，全白的外觀顏色，給人一種高冷之感。但裡面的 風格卻卓然不同，既是視覺衝擊也是享受。很難想像， 這樣一個現代化建築是粵劇文化的家園，扮演著守護者 的角色。但這正是西九龍文化區成立戲曲中心的目的。

正如西九文化區管理局表演藝術行政總監茹國烈先 生所說，“這是大戲棚的後現代家園，吸引的將是年輕 一代的觀眾”。大戲棚傳統上，是在用竹搭架起來的臨 時露天劇場的粵劇表演。粵劇於 2009 年被聯合國教科文 組織列入“人類非物質文化遺產代表名錄”。現在，粵 劇，這種包含音樂，歌唱，舞蹈，雜技和動作在內的文 化形式，終於迎來的它的春天。 茹先生於2010年加入管理局，擁有多年藝術行政 管理經驗，之前為香港藝術發展局行政總裁，曾在香港 藝術中心任職。他對粵劇的熱愛溢於言表，在他的帶領 下，文化區內各項演藝設施的設計工作及建築工程均進 度理想，也使得粵劇文化得以新生。

To create a well-deserved new home for Cantonese Opera, the Authority engaged the renowned Hong Kong–born architect Bing Wing Thom, whose inspiring design survives him as a tribute to his heritage roots. The large complex encompasses the Atrium; a large public space with areas for exhibitions and public performances; a 1073-seat Grand Theatre with state-ofthe art technical facilities; Tea House Theatre, an elegant and intimate venue designed with flexible seating – up to 200 – for smaller scale performances; a seminar hall; and eight fully equipped high-quality rehearsal studios.

Louis Yu emphasises that the theatres were tailor-made for Chinese opera performances. For example, each theatre has large built-in subtitling panels for both Chinese (vertical) and English (horizontal) to guide audiences through the opera content. To handle Cantonese opera’s famously loud percussion instruments, especially the gongs, the theatre uses extra-absorbent acoustic materials to dampen the sound. Finally, the opera is sized to keep audience members close enough to the performers to appreciate their facial expressions and finer body gestures.

Yu explains the Tea House Theatre will play a key role in revitalising Cantonese opera, and is his “secret weapon” to help expand the art form to a younger segment of performers and fans – an important mission of Xiqu, passing on the art to the next generation. The Xiqu Centre is also developing its own performance troupe, dubbed Tea House Rising Stars, who can hone their skills with smaller scale performances at the Tea House Theatre.

為了確保粵劇有一個完美的新家，港府聘請了已 故的著名華裔建築大師譚秉榮（生於香港，加拿大 籍）。設計靈感來自於他對傳統根基的致敬。大型綜 合體包括中庭，大型公共空間，展覽和公共表演的區 域等 ; 主要設施包括一個可容納 1073 個座位的大劇院， 最多容納 200 個座位的茶館劇場， 8 個專業排演室，演 講廳等，照顧各類型戲曲活動所需。 茹先生表示，劇院是為中國戲曲表演量身定做的。 例如，他提到，每個劇院都設立了中文（垂直）和英 語（水平）字幕板，以幫助觀眾了解歌劇內容此外。 鑑於粵劇以響亮的打擊樂器，特別是鑼為主，劇院使 用超強吸音材料來降低噪音。而且，劇院的面積大小 適宜，以便觀眾可以更清楚地看到表演者的面部表情 和精細的身體姿勢。

Louis Yu 茹國烈 Executive Director, Performing Arts 表演藝術行政總監

據茹先生介紹，茶館劇場在振興粵劇方面起著關鍵 作用，更重要的是，可以將這種傳統藝術形式推廣到 更年輕的表演者和粉絲群，也是戲曲的一項重要使命 將藝術傳遞給下一代。戲曲中心還在不斷更新作品， 創新表演手法，名為茶館新星劇團，他們通過小規模 的表演不斷磨練自己的表演技巧。

Tea House Theatre is also a fun venue to visit. For example, it offers a “tea and dim sum performance”, in which for $318 guests enjoy an afternoon opera performance while sipping tea and eating dim sum – all the seats accommodate a tea cup and a plate of sim sum – a most enchanting way to enjoy an opera.

茶館劇場同樣值得參觀。例如， 它提供“茶，點心，表演”，觀眾 以318港幣的價格可喝着茶，吃著點 心，享受歌劇表演。每一位顧客都單 獨設有小桌，讓觀影體驗達到最高標 準。

Since it opened in January 2019, Xiqu has been busily putting together a world-class programme of performances, including top-flight Chinese opera from other genres such as Peking Opera and Shanghai Kunqu Opera. With highprofile operas such as The Reincarnation of Red Plum expected to sell out, Xiqu has instituted an online ticketing system, making it easier to register for and purchase tickets (www.westkowloon.hk).

自2019年1月開業以來，戲曲中 心一直致力於打造世界級的演出， 包括京劇，上海崑曲等其他流派的 頂級表演團來港表演。諸如“再 世紅梅記”等一些備受矚目的戲 曲，定會實現萬人空巷之勢，為了 方便觀眾，戲曲中心採用網上售票 系統，可以更容易注冊或購買門票 （ www.westkowloon.hk ）。

Whether you are a Chinese opera aficionado, a casual fan or a stranger to this performance art, and whether or not you speak Cantonese, a performance at the Xiqu Centre is a sure-fire opportunity to enjoy and appreciate this deep culture – so make sure you give it a try.

無論您是中國曲迷，還是剛了解 這項藝術的粉絲，無論您是否說廣東 話，戲曲中心的表演都是您感受香港 文化的不二之選 - 不妨一試。

Xiqu Centre 戲曲中心 88 Austin Road West, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon (near China Hong Kong City) 九龍尖沙咀柯士甸道西 88 號（鄰近中港城） 2200 0022 10:00 - 22:30

Celebrity Chefs! Celebrated Dining!

maze Grill

Driven by the will of their respective celebrity chefs, a British steakhouse and Japanese omakase restaurant each offer dining to celebrate. 我們本月推薦的兩家餐廳，一家英式牛扒，一家日式料理，都是在知名主廚帶領下，將餐廳做 到精緻典雅。

Shop OTE401, 4/F, Ocean Terminal, Harbour City, 3-27 Canton Road, he recently opened maze Grill, the famous Tsim Sha Tsui British steakhouse by Gordon Ramsay, is 尖沙咀廣東道3-27號 destined to be a much talked-about dining hotspot in 海港城海運大廈4樓 OTE 401號鋪 the already burgeoning scene for steakhouses and grills in the city. Located in the Ocean Terminal Dock, 2765 0890 in the recently opened glasshouse extension at the edge of Ocean Terminal with a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour, the restaurant is the first maze Grill outside London, in partnership with Dining Concepts, a well-known and expanding dining group that specialises in the development of high-quality dining concepts, with a portfolio of 27 outlets.

T

diningconcepts.com/restaurants/ maze-Grill

Under Head Chef Gareth Packham, a seven-year veteran of the Gordon Ramsay Group, maze Grill serves a combination of its signature dishes from London and dishes created especially for the Hong Kong outlet.

The décor of the restaurant is casual, contemporary and warm, creating an ambience that contrasts nicely with the floor-to-ceiling windows, the better to allow unimpeded views of the harbour.

A generous outdoor drinks terrace conjures up a gorgeous view across to Hong Kong Island.

The restaurant specialty is, of course, a collection of quality British Butchers Cut dry-aged steaks, cooked over a charcoal-fired Josper grill, plus Gordon Ramsay’s world-renowned signature Beef Wellington. For the Hong Kong outlet, maze Grill has created several exclusive dishes. They include the Sliced Snapper, a crunchy Prawn and Chorizo Toast and a Traditional Ploughman’s Pork Pie – Carved Table Side.

www.hkcitylife.com | MARCH 2019

Amid the fanfare about this restaurant, our expectations ran high, and maze Grill delivered in style. We started our dinner by sharing two appetisers: Grilled Diver Scallops ($158), jalapeno, green apple, coriander and Special Confit Duck & Watermelon Salad, with Watercress and Lotus Chips ($148). The scallops are large, fresh and tender, with just the right amount of seasoning. The salad comes with a generous helping of shredded slowed-cooked duck packed with zesty taste.

For the mains, we succumbed to the Cow and Cut, a choice of three cuts at 100g each. Ours were Sirloin (300g for $388), Rib-eye (400g for $488) and Fillet on the Bone (300g, $588). Each steak was perfectly grilled to medium-rare and the meat was excellent. The other main we ordered was Hot Smoked Miso Salmon, with Sesame Cucumbers ($218), providing a welcome contrast to the steaks, with the salmon meat grilled just so to remain tender and moist. We managed somehow to find room for two sides: French Fries ($48), and Seared Foie Gras ($88) which is a delicious sauce that goes well with the steaks. Our dessert was the signature Coconut & Dark Chocolate Cremaux with passionfruit sorbet, candied walnuts and a brandy snap, rounding out a highly enjoyable meal.

Between its signature dishes, excellent cuts of steak and a fantastic view, maze Grill is the perfect place for either a casual or romantic gathering. We highly recommend it, and, book early!■

SUSHI SASE 鮨佐瀬 Shop G1, G/F, Baskerville House, 22 Ice House Street, Central 中環雪廠街22號樂成行地下G1鋪

T

he prospect of an Omakase Japanese dinner engagement generates a uniquely heightened anticipation. The promise of a fine sushi chef lovingly creating artistic pieces of sushi, right in front of the dining guests, is surely one of the most pleasant feelings in dining. So, naturally, we looked forward to our dinner at Sushi Sase, a neat and cosy Japanese restaurant tucked away on a side street in Central.

Named after its head chef, Sushi Sase draws on Chef Sase’s belief that simplicity is the highest form of culinary mastery. It does so by sourcing fresh ingredients daily from Hokkaido and delivering the food artfully and honestly.

The décor of Sushi Sase is traditionally Japanese – elegant, simple and aesthetically pleasing. The sushi bar sits 16 guests, and a private room provides space for 12 more.

We chose the Aoi Chef Omakase Course ($1,600 per person), essentially the full works. You can also choose a 15-piece sushi Sakura Omakase Course for $1,380 per person. Serving us that evening was Hirano Miki, a lady sushi chef from Japan who’s been in Hong Kong for nine years and apprenticed under Chef Sase in Hokkaido.

It didn’t take us long to figure out Sushi Sase’s philosophy: quality, fresh seafood and fish, food simply prepared but individually tailored, especially with respect to seasoning and sauce. Rather than just wasabi and soy sauce, each piece is thoughtfully paired with subtle seasoning aimed to accent its flavour.

www.hkcitylife.com | MARCH 2019

We began the meal with a starter Rape Blossom with Kelp, Jelly with White Fish, Japanese Anchovy, with a side dish of Miso Vinaigrette with Yuzu, followed by a tasty, delicately tender Fried Whitebait Fish. A parade of sashimi dishes came next: Flounder Sashimi

Wrap with Spicy Daikon and Spring Onion with Pozu Vinaigrette Sauce; Hokkaido Hairy Crab with Crab Miso – which tasted sweet and refreshing; Marinated Spanish Mackerel Sashimi; Jack Mackerel little handroll; Marinated Monk Fish Liver with Yuzu; Marinated Hokkaido King Salmon with garlic oil and spring onion soy sauces; Wild Caught Medium Fatty Tuna; and Squid Head with Roe. The small individual portions add up after a while. Sampling the different fresh fish skilfully prepared was a real treat.

We continued our meal. A Cooked Shrimp Cake with Seaweed and Bamboo, Sansho Pepper Leaf was followed with sushi items that include Cuttlefish Sushi, Horse Mackerel Sushi (Pickled Rice and Onion), Seared Bonito Sushi, the delicious Hokkaido Sea Urchin Sushi, generously portioned, Hokkaido Salmon Roe Sushi, Baby Snapper Sushi, Otoro Sushi (Garlic and Daikon), and Sea Eel Sushi.

We ended our meal with Roast Egg with Shrimp, Clams Broth and for desserts Green Tea Panna Cotta with Yuzu Ice Cream. All of our party were fully sated and happy.

There is something comforting about being served, passively but full of expectancy. Our dinner at Sushi Sase was chockfull of delightful surprises, and considering the amount of quality seafood we consumed, its price is eminently reasonable. Give Sushi Sase a try if you are looking for an exquisite Omakase meal.■

DINING GUIDE

飲食指南

SHÈ 舍

Shè, a chic Chinese restaurant recently opened inside Lane Crawford at ifc mall in Central, serves contemporary Cantonese fusion cuisine, including dim sum, emphasising healthy cooking methods and ingredients. The name Shè, translated from Chinese, denotes a place of rest or hospitality, which is apt as the outlet provides a gourmet sanctuary for weary shoppers after a day in the stores.

The restaurant, replete in a stylistic modern décor, opens to an alfresco terrace overlooking Victoria Harbour and the waterfront below, providing the perfect setting for a relaxed and refreshing meal. Shè serves a wide range of traditional Chinese dishes, albeit injected with a modern flair; it also offers a wide selection of bespoke cocktails inspired

by Shanghai’s golden age, which in turn drew heavily on French, British and American culture.

For our meal, we started with a trio of appetisers – Chilled Abalone ($168), Crispy Bombay Duck Fish with Salt & Pepper ($88), a local favourite, and Pan-fried Vegetarian Bean Curd Skin ($88). The sharing mains included Wok-fried M5 Wagyu Beef with Shishito Peppers ($268), Sauteed Fish Maw with Shrimp, Chinese Kale and Cashew Nut ($238) and Pan-fried Tiger Prawns ($238). Our final entrée at Shè was their signature Wok-fried Supreme Lobster Noodles ($388), in which the succulent lobster meat tastes that much better when wok-fried.

We closed by sampling several desserts: Goji Chrysanthemum Crystal Cake ($52), Sweet Mango Pomelo Sago Dessert ($52) and Stewed Bird Nest with Sweet Papaya ($128).

Whether you are hungry from shopping or just want to enjoy a nice Chinese meal, do give Shè a try!

最近在中環的 ifc 商場連卡佛店內，一家別緻的中餐廳——舍剛 剛開業，提供以健康方式烹飪的現代粵菜，包括點心等。舍在中文裡 的意思是要為客人提供一個休息，舒展身心和感到賓至如歸的地方， 的確，它在這個購物天堂里為疲憊的購物者提供了一個美食休息區。 餐廳裝修以現代風格為主，陽台擁有迷人的維多利亞港景緻，無 論是設計風格或菜式方面都極富時尚感。 「舍」的菜式和飲品均融入 了摩登的中國特色和健康元素，但還提供各類雞尾酒，這種靈感來自 上海的黃金時代，包容了法國、英國和美國等文化影響。 我們首先點了三道開胃菜——冰鎮鮑魚($168)，椒鹽九肚魚($88)， 以及當地最受歡迎小吃—— 脆皮煙熏素鵝($88) 。主菜包括： 日本尖椒 炒 M5 和牛($268)、花膠小炒皇($238)、老胡同乾燒明蝦($238)。最後一 道主菜是招牌菜—— 秘製龍蝦炒麵($388) ，多汁的龍蝦肉嘗起來美味 至極。 最後，我們品嚐了幾款甜品： 杞子桂花糕($52) 、 楊枝甘露($52) 和 木瓜燉燕窩($128)。 無論你是購物累了需要補充體力，還是單純只為享用美食，舍都 是你的不二之選！

NATURA BISSÉ Natura Bissé, a Spanish luxury skincare provider, recently opened its first worldwide flagship store in Pacific Place. The operation delivers luxury skincare treatment with high quality service and a touch of technology. The contemporary, elegantly designed store offers customers a new beauty treatment titled Inhibit Face-Lift ($2,200 for 75 minutes), which aims to apply advanced massage techniques to soften wrinkles, especially expression lines, and to provide overall skin rejuvenation.

The client is first treated with 15 minutes of The Mindful Touch, a VRbased technique in which a 3D video accompanied by a soothing soundtrack gently disconnects guests from the pace of Hong Kong life, allowing them to savour the moment at hand.

The Inhibit Face-Lift treatment itself uses a myriad of anti-aging ingredients to treat clients through a three-step process. Ingredients include a cocktail of exfoliant acids, line-smoothing treatment concentrate formula and a linesmoothing mask treated with double hyaluronic acid and Boswellia serrata extract. The three-step treatment includes Radiance Lifting Peel, using an intensive exfoliation with a cotton mask, Inhibit High Definition Lifting Concentrate, which applies anti-wrinkle super concentrate in an activating massage that helps restructure line-smoothing; and Inhibit High-definition Gel Mask, which applies a mask with an infusion of hyaluronic acid. The results: an instant smoothing of the skin and lines, a face that feels supple and moist, and a relaxed state of mind.

Treat yourself and your face to a healthy, luxuriating experience with a visit to Natura Bissé.

西班牙奢侈品護膚品 Natura Bissé 最近在太古廣場開 設了其首家全球旗艦店。店鋪以高質量的服務和技術，滿 足顧客奢華的皮膚護理需求。設計優雅的現代美容店鋪為 顧客提供名為塑顏撫紋提升面部療程（$2,200/75分鐘）的 美容護理，旨在用先進按摩技術柔化皺紋，尤其是面部皺 紋，讓肌膚年輕化。 客戶首先接受 15 分鐘的澄清身心靈美容修護療程，這 是一種基於VR的技術，採用嶄新的3D視頻，隨著舒緩的聲 音，幫助客人脫離生活煩惱，瞬間放鬆靜養。 塑顏撫紋提升面部療程本身包括三個目標，共有三個 步驟。程序是量肌煥膚、撫紋緊緻、以及補水飽滿美肌面 膜。該三步治療方法為：使用去角質純棉纖維面膜去死 皮；極致濃縮抗皺精華，配合激活肌膚按摩手法，幫助重 塑線條；最後用清爽非凡的透明質酸面膜為肌膚帶來超卓 越的保濕功效。讓肌膚看起來更滋養飽滿，柔軟嫩滑，平 滑光澤。 Natura Bissé，讓您享受健康與奢華！

The scoop on some of the best art showrooms and their current exhibitions

‘Qu Leilei Solo Exhibition’ at 3812gallery 14 Jan – 9 Mar. Each of us has our own unique form of life, just as each artist has their own unique creative spirit. Qu Leilei’s works have been exhibited in major galleries and museums in China and around the world, including the National Art Museum of China, the Beijing International Art Biennale, the Venice Biennale, and the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford. Two of his works, Lei Feng from the Empires series, and Journey from the Facing the Future series, entered into the permanent collection of the British Museum in 2015. Qu Leilei’s works are a living integration of alienation and gazing, with powerful critical thought. 16B, Wyndham Place, 40-44 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong; Mon – Fri, 11am - 7pm; 2153 3812; www.3812gallery.com

‘Tao Hui | Rhythm and Senses’ at Edouard Malingue Gallery 10 Jan – 15 Mar How we live and relate to each other in light of increased digitisation is at the core of ‘Rhythm and Senses’, the first solo exhibition of Tao Hui (b. 1987, Chongqing) at Edouard Malingue Gallery, Hong Kong. Tao Hui is a Chinese artist born in the city of Chongqing. Using the language of video and installation, Tao Hui expresses collective experience, the focus of which is often social identity, gender status, ethnicity and cultural crisis. 6/F 33 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong;n Mon – Sat 10am7pm; 2810 0317; edouardmalingue.com

The Future Remains in Our Hands Ink on paper

Mastering our Own Fate Ink on paper

‘Hikari Shimoda "Can Pop Art Show the Way to Nirvana?"’ at Overtheinfluence 31 Jan – 16 Mar. The word “POP” in pop art means popular culture, mass production and consumption take place as one of the major themes of pop art. We are living in a world of mass production and mass consumption.

Every kind of things is produced in quantity, and everyone is consuming. The same thing happens to art or literature. In other words, we are in a world where numerous words and images are consumed. The more a word used repeatedly, the lighter and more casual its meaning becomes. 1/F, 159 Hollywood Road Central Hong Kong; Tue – Sat, 11am – 7pm; 2617 982; overtheinfluence.com

‘XU ZHEN® solo show’ at Perrotin 25 Mar - 11 May Xu Zhen’s provocative aesthetics relies on both conceptual and pop strategies. He first undertook behavioral and cultural experiments as an autonomous artist via controversial performances and videos. From the improbable encounter between Japanese bondage and voodoo fetishes, to Buddha statues forcing themselves into duplicates of GrecoRoman gods, the collision between cultural symbols allows him to subtly touch upon the various power struggles of human history. 50 Connaught Road Central, 17th Floor - Hong Kong; Tue-Sat, 11am-7pm; 3758 2180; www.perrotin.com

HOTEL CORNER

酒店專才

MEET THE

MANAGING DIRECTOR

Joseph W. Y. Chong, Area Vice President and Managing Director at The Peninsula Hong Kong and The Peninsula Shanghai, shares his interesting career in the hotel industry. 香港半島酒店及上海半島酒店地區副總裁兼常務董事張榮耀先生 與我們分享了他在酒店業工作多年的經驗。 My involvement with the hospitality industry was totally accidental. I grew up in Ipoh, Malaysia. After Form 5, I went to a military college intending to be a pilot. I passed every test in the rigorous assessment but found out I was colour blind, which knocked me out of consideration. Dejected, my father sent me to the Regent in Kuala Lumpur to check it out. I liked the set-up: neatly trimmed uniforms, English-speaking and so cosmopolitan. I went to a hotel management college and got my diploma and eventually got a job with the Regent, starting out as an airport representative, before moving up.

The Regent was acquired by the Four Seasons. So, I spent the latter part of my career there opening several Four Seasons hotels in Bali, Singapore, Jakarta, and KL. Then I was recruited to the Peninsula Beijing and stayed there for seven years, helping to oversee its redevelopment before moving to Peninsula Shanghai and then coming to Hong Kong where I now managed one of the world’s iconic hotels.

The Peninsula has been a part of Hong Kong for 90 years, as home from home to esteemed guests from all over the world. For us, hospitality means remaining true and original, delivering exceptional service at the right time, in the right tone, and of course, most discreetly. Given our history and heritage though, I humbly think that the Peninsula is beyond just luxury. Our combination of service, tradition and mystique should serve us well even as more ultra-luxury hotels enter the market here in Hong Kong.

Not surprisingly, Chinese visitors are some of the most aspiring luxury travellers; they are real students of luxury brands. That means they want to enjoy the traditional service standards of the Peninsula. In that sense, we don’t need to change our service standards. Of course, we make them feel at home by providing comfort they are used to such as Chinese tea and Chinese breakfast, with bilingual staff who treat everybody from anywhere equally and consistently.

I am very proud to say that we are the only group in the world with all its (ten) hotels accorded five stars by Forbes Travel Guide, becoming its first-ever all five-star hotel brand. It’s a reflection of our commitment to deliver the highest service across all our hotels. The fact that we own all our hotels helps drive that consistent delivery.

My favourite part of the job is walking by the Pastry Shop every morning and enjoying the wonderful aroma. Seriously, I love talking to our staff, even our daily greeting. It’s supremely important to have a genuine connection to everyone on the team, recognising that each role is so important.

My top three recommendations for visitors are: 1. Explore the south side of Hong Kong Island with its lovely beaches and easy access.

2. Visit Yuen Long in the New Territories and its old villages; so very different from the city itself.

3. Walk along Hollywood Road and its neighbourhood and check out the galleries, antique shops and trendy restaurants.

Joseph W. Y. Chong 張榮耀 進入酒店業是一次偶然。我在馬來西亞的怡保長大，中學五年畢 業後，帶着成為一名飛行員的夢想，報考了一所軍事學院。經過層層 測試，不幸被查出是色盲，失去成為飛行員的資格。當時的我很懊 惱，父親希望我去吉隆坡吉隆坡麗晶酒店工作，到了之後，我漸漸愛 上了這裡整齊的制服，都講英語的國際化。後來我便考上一所酒店管 理學院，順利畢業後在麗晶酒店找到工作。 後來麗晶酒店被四季酒店收購。我便開始了在世界各地開設四季 酒店的職業生涯，包括巴厘島，新加坡，雅加達和吉隆坡等。後來我 加入了北京半島酒店，在那裡待了七年，幫助監督其重建工作。之後 我便去了上海半島酒店和香港半島酒店，很驕傲的說，我目前管理的 酒店是世界最著名的酒店之一。 香港的半島酒店已經有90年的歷史，是世界各地來訪旅客的家。 我們堅持真實和創新，在恰當的時間，以正確的態度和最佳的方式提 供卓越的服務，展示我們的熱情。我們的歷史和傳統彰顯了半島不只 是奢侈品，更是一家高層次的酒店。即便越來越多的豪華酒店進入香 港市場，半島憑藉其優質服務，完美口碑和神秘的魅力，仍在大市場 中處於不敗之地。 中國遊客是懂得享受精緻生活的高檔旅客，這一點毋庸置疑。這 意味著他們渴望享受到半島這種高端舒適的服務。因此我們無需改變 服務標準，此外我們還會提供中式餐廳，中式古茶，中式早點等，讓 他們感到賓至如歸。當然我們同樣為世界其他地方的旅客提供同樣優 質的服務，一視同仁。 很自豪地說，我們是世界上唯一全部 (10個) 酒店都被福布斯旅遊 指南評為五星酒店的集團，成為有史以來第一家五星級酒店品牌。這 反映了我們致力於為所有酒店提供最高服務，這是我們的承諾，將不 會改變，想必也會提高行業內的標準。 工作中我最喜歡的是每天早上經過糕點店，享受美妙的香味。我 也喜歡和我們的員工交談，即便只是打個招呼，都是同他們建立聯繫 的好方法，讓他們體會被重視之感，提高工作積極性。 給遊客的三個建議：

1. 探索港島南岸，那裡交通便利，景色宜人。 2. 參觀新界元朗附近，感受古村獨特風光。 3. 逛逛荷李活道，那裡有各式畫廊，古董店和時尚餐館。
