editor's note
Editor’s Note
China is a huge country, the third largest in the
world. Most people know that, but what fewer
realize is how active the Chinese government has
been in trying to connect the nation’s disparate
regions and coastal cities, linking them together
by flight routes, railways and roads. Forget overnight sleepers, places that used to take days to
journey to are now just a few hours on the bullet train away, and planes from Guangzhou and
Shenzhen are flying not just to the major metropolises, but also increasingly unusual destinations
– both domestic and foreign (Madagascar, for
instance, p24). Deciding to dig into this countrywide boom in infrastructure, we’ve taken a look
at how travel by planes, trains and automobiles is
changing in China (p32-39).
Performance is being taken to the streets throughout the Pearl River Delta. In Guangzhou, the
Guangdong Dance Festival is providing more free
public shows than ever before – particularly on
Shamian Island, where both international and local
companies will be strutting their stuff over actionpacked afternoons (p28). In Shenzhen, the Fringe
Festival returns with its hugely diverse (and sometimes bizarre) array of acts, with the highlight being
the colorful parade on November 23 (SZ, p60).
Football fever has been hitting the PRD hard recently, particularly with Guangzhou Evergrande
facing FC Seoul in the second leg of the AFC
Champions League final this month. To get a bit
of insider insight, we’ve interviewed Evergrande’s
coach Marcello Lippi, the man behind Italy’s
World Cup win in 2006 (p14). We also had time
to speak to hall of famer Joe Montana, ahead of
his trip to Guangzhou later this month with the
NFL Home Field events (p16).
With our That’s Food and Drink Awards on the
horizon, we sign off hoping you have a wonderful month of gluttony, whether it’s gorging on
Thanksgiving dinners (GZ, p50) or feasting your
eyes at the Sex Culture Festival (p16).

Tales of the city
By That's PRD Team
Etiquette lesson
One plus one
equals
In 2012, Chinese overtook Americans and Germans as the
world's top tourism spenders, with 83 million people spending a record US$102 billion on global travel. Though highly
sought after for their riches, the Chinese have become notorious for their uncouth behavior and disregard for local
laws. In response, the Chinese government have initiated
the first-ever tourism law, effective from November 1, which
mandates that citizens must “abide by the norms of civilized
tourist behaviors." A helpful handbook was also issued,
explaining what “civilized behavior” is and addressing topics
such as how to act on an airplane, not leaving footprints on
toilet seats, queue-jumping and why all women must wear
earrings in Spain – wait, what? Sounds like we could learn a
thing or two from this pamphlet as well…
Are we there
yet?
No, this is not a mass
evacuation or people
queuing for discounted
chicken feet. This shudderinducing photo was taken
on a Guangdong highway
during October’s Golden
Week holiday, as flocks of
locals tried to get away for
a few days. The government suspended highway
tolls for the duration of
the vacation as part of a
plan to get people out
and spending. Some were
stuck over 10 hours on
the road in one big bottleneck. This is one jam that
just wouldn't spread.
The accidental addict
Two Guangzhou restaurants have
been taking the idea of a secret
ingredient to whole new levels.
Recent spot checks by the city’s
Food and Drug Administration
found poppy seed powder was
being added to customers’ food to
keep them coming back for more.
The banned substance adds both
an aromatic and mouthwatering
flavor to food. It is also highly
addictive (obviously, since it’s
what opium is made from), and
long-term intake harms the nervous and digestive systems. The
two restaurants received a fine of
RMB50,000 and a formal warning.
Talk about your flower power.

Let’s do a bit of simple addition.
Jerry is married to Marry and
they have four children. Jerry
is also secretly married to Luo
Ting, his business partner in
Guangzhou, with whom he has
two children. How many wives
over the legal limit does Jerry
have? As a British man recently
discovered, just because your
first family is back home, that
doesn’t mean you can start a
new one abroad. After his first
wife discovered the deception,
she journeyed to Guangzhou
in March 2012 to file charges
against her husband and his
second ‘wife.’ It wasn’t until
February this year, however, that
the couple gave themselves up,
and it was just last month that
they were tried and convicted
for bigamy, with Jerry receiving
a suspended six months and Luo
Ting five (she was aware he was
already hitched).
Don’t miss the boat
The eight recently opened ferry
routes plying the river have become a popular mode of travel
for Guangzhou commuters
and visitors. Known as the “sea
bus,” the aim is to ease traffic
congestion and better connect
major sites such
as the Canton
Tower with stops
near the Sun-Yat
Sen Memorial
Museum and
Shamian Island.
The city has acquired 15 new
boats and intends
to have a total
of 16 routes opened, covering
83 kilometers of the Pearl River.
Guangzhou Mayor Chen Jinhua
says he hopes Guangzhou can
become the “ferry capital of the
world.” A highly coveted title,
no doubt.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
“We sculpted the nose threedimensionally, like carpenters.”
Guo Zhihui of Fujian Medical University Union
Hospital describes how he spent nine months constructing an extra nose by removing a man’s rib cartilage and implanting it under the skin of his forehead.
The 22-year-old patient, known only as Xiaolian,
lost part of his schnozzle in a car accident in August
2012, but didn’t immediately have reconstructive
surgery as he couldn’t afford it. An infection later ate
away much of its cartilage. Guo now plans to cut the
new nose from the forehead while leaving a section
of skin still connected, then rotate and graft it into
position. Good job, Guo, and you’re giving a whole
new meaning to the phrase ‘turning up your nose…’
Two Chinese tourists were
detained briefly in Bagnolet,
France, after being suspected
of forgery when they paid their
hotel bill in one-euro coins.
The hotel owner's eyebrows
were raised when the pair
paid the EUR70 charge for
their first night with 70 pieces
of coinage, but it wasn't until
they attempted to do so again
the subsequent day that he
called the police. A search of
the guests’ rooms turned up a
treasure trove of 3,700 coins,
but despite all evidence to the
contrary, banking authorities
concluded the money was legit.
Turns out the couple had friends
in the scrap-metal business back
in China, who had sold them the
chunk of change at a discounted
rate. Thousands of intact
European cars are sent to China
for parts and demolition each
year. The cars are thoroughly
searched and result in piles of
euro coins, which cannot be exchanged at Chinese banks. JK
THIS MONTH IN HISTORY
One day in… November
November 25, 1924 and the eunuch system is finally banned
in China, thus ending an era
that had endured for over
3,000 years and through 25
dynasties.
Records of eunuchs in China
date back to the Shang Dynasty
(1600–1046 BC), when the Shang
kings castrated prisoners of war.
In the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC),
eunuch slaves performed forced
labor on state projects, including the manufacturing of the
Terracotta Army.
In ancient times, castration was
not only a traditional punishment (it was one of the Five
Punishments, the other four being tattooing the face, cutting off
the nose, cutting off the feet and

death), but also a means of gaining employment in the imperial
service.
although it was not always performed completely, which led to
its being made illegal.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty
(1368–1644 AD), there were
about 70,000 eunuchs employed
by the emperor, with some serving inside the imperial palace.
The logic ran that, since they
were incapable of having children, they would not be tempted
to seize power and start a dynasty – although certain eunuchs
gained immense influence,
including famous explorer Zheng
He (1371–1433 AD).
Spare a thought for poor Sun
Yaoting, the last surviving imperial eunuch of Chinese history
when he died in 1996. He was
castrated at the age of 8 by his
father with a single swoop of a
razor. The year was 1911, mere
months before the last emperor,
Puyi, was deposed. NK
Castration included removal of
the penis as well as the testicles,
all sliced off in one with a knife.
Self-castration was a common
practice among the ambitious,

Coke is it!
Vespa mandarinia
If it turned out she was talking
about sugary, black fizzy water,
would it make it any better?
The Asian giant hornet (Vespa
mandarinia), known colloquially
as the yak-killer hornet, is the
world's largest wasp. Five centimeters long on average, it has a
wingspan of 7.5 centimeters and
a 6-millimeter stinger with which
it injects liberal amounts of venom, potent enough to dissolve
human tissue… to deadly effect.

Yes, old Vespa has been on a
murder spree across Shaanxi
Province over the last few
months, killing 42 people and
injuring a further 1,675, in an
epidemic many have ascribed to
climate change. Most victims die
of kidney failure or anaphylactic
shock.
“The hornets' poison was too
strong – his liver and kidneys
failed and he couldn't urinate,”
explained a friend of Yu Yihong,
“I ran and shouted for help, but
the hornets chased me about 200
meters and stung me for more
than three minutes,” said Chen
Changlin, who was hospitalized
after being attacked by hornets
while harvesting.
who was stung to death after
stepping on a nest of hornets
hidden under a pile of dry corn
husks while out harvesting his
crops.
The species does not typically
attack unless it feels its nest is
threatened, but when it does, it is
fierce and fast – the hornets can
fly at 40 kilometers an hour and
cover 80 kilometers in a day. They
tend to live in tree stumps or underground, making their abodes
very difficult to detect.
The hornets had first swarmed a
woman and child working nearby, who then ran towards him.
Both later died from the hornets’
toxins. While Chen was lucky to
survive, when he was admitted
to the hospital, his urine was said
to be the color of soy sauce. “The
more you run, the more they
want to chase you,” he explained.

Supercar sales are revving up
BY Lena Gidwani
of the iconic McLaren P1, shown
in pearl white for the first time.
“From a technology point of
view, McLaren has some features
that no competitor brand has.
With three groundbreaking
models available to order immediately, the opening of the
dealerships is an important step
in McLaren’s marketing network
development strategy in China,”
explains Mirko Bordiga, McLaren
Automotive Regional Director for
Asia Pacific. “In 2014, we will see
more retailers opening across the
region. Data shows that China’s
super luxury sports car market is
rapidly developing.”
T
he axis of the automotive
world has shifted East. At
the 2012 Shanghai Auto
Show, a strapping young lad created a stir by reportedly ordering
an exotic sports car valued at
nearly RMB4 million within minutes of the opening. It's behavior
like this that has the leading
supercar companies of the world
clamoring for a slice of China’s
luxury car market.
According to McKinsey &
Company, there are more than
1.25 million exotic and luxury
cars in use in China as of 2012,
making it the second largest
high-end car market worldwide.
Predictions put sales at 2.25 million by 2016, by which time the
country will have eclipsed the US
to take pole position. Interestingly
enough, it’s not just the male species that are infatuated. Ferrari
reported that 20 percent of its
exotic automobile sales in China
were to women, compared to just
10 percent globally.
With a desire to flaunt fortunes
amidst a government clampdown
on excessive spending and a
slowdown in local economy, the
rich still have their feet firmly on
the accelerator.
The most recent supercar manufacturer to steer their way into
the market is British McLaren,
which officially launched its
Formula One-inspired vehicles
in September, with dealerships
in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou
and Chengdu. In Guangzhou, the
launch was attended by more
than 200 of the city’s wealthy
elite, who witnessed the unveiling
Three McLaren 12Cs have already
been sold since the opening,
according to a salesman at the
Guangzhou dealership. Prior to
September, the cars were only
sold by independent retailers,
often at RMB1 million more than
the current rate.
Located in Zhujiang New Town
next to the W Hotel, McLaren’s
showroom is just a stone’s throw
from other luxury car dealerships
which have already infiltrated
the market, including Ferrari,
Maserati and Lamborghini. In this
part of the city at least, the sound
of engines purring fills the air.
Testing out a supercar
If you have a few million in spare change and feel like splashing out on a set of wheels that makes a statement, here are some of the
options.
McLaren: Three models, ranging from RMB3.38
million for the 12C Coupe to approximately
RMB13 million for the P1. For bespoke models,
the waiting period is six to eight months. To test
drive the 12C, you must have a valid local driving license. Prior bookings are encouraged and
drivers have to be pre-approved. Test drive cars
will only be available in a few months.
12
Lamborghini: Nine years in China. Two
models, ranging from RMB3.5 million for
the Gallardo series to RMB8 million for the
Aventador LP-700/4 Rosa. Waiting period for
bespoke models is six to eight months. No
test drives are available. Track days are organized twice a year at the Zhuhai International
Circuit.
Ferrari: Market leader, with more than 20 years
in China. Four models, ranging from RMB3.8
million for the California to RMB25 million
for the LaFerrari. Waiting period for bespoke
models is six months. For test drives, make a
booking at least one week in advance at your
preferred dealership and bring along your local
driving license.
Petrolheads unite
Membership is private. Dropping
jaws is public. Owning a supercar isn’t just about being able
to drive it; it’s your access point
to a private world of elite men
and women, all dressed to the
nines with deep pockets to
match. Members of supercar
clubs are among the richest of a
newly emerging class of China’s
nouveau riche – or at least, their
parents are. Here’s where the
country’s upper crust race their
toys and meet and greet…
Super Car Club (SCC)
Headquartered in Beijing, car
owners must possess assets
of over RMB100 million to be
eligible for membership. To put
it mildly, if you pulled up in a
Porsche 911, you'd be at the
bottom of the totem pole. The

ages 18 to 60, with women comprising about 10 percent, and 800

SHOOTING FROM THE LIP
WORLD CUP-WINNING COACH SEEKS ASIAN CROWN
BY MATT HORN
Marcello Lippi’s place in football history has long been assured. The World Cup-winning coach of Italy
in 2006 and Champions League winner with Juventus a decade earlier, this month he will seek to add
the Asian Champions League to his impressive list of titles, cementing his place in Chinese football
history. In an exclusive interview, the 65-year-old Italian talks candidly about his move to China, the
state of football here, the AFC Champions League Final, Guangzhou Evergrande’s players and fans,
this season’s World Cup, China’s hopes of one day hosting the tournament and why dinner is on Sven
Goran Eriksson.
It is no secret that these have
been dark days for football
in China. Corruption at home
has gone hand in hand with
repeated failure at international
level. But there is a light shining
at the end of a very dark tunnel,
and it is being held by Marcello
Lippi. Since arriving as coach of
Guangzhou Evergrande in May
2012 success has followed success; a Chinese Super League
and Chinese FA Cup double last
season, retaining the championship at a canter this year, and
on November 9 welcoming FC
Seoul to the Tianhe Stadium
for the second leg of the Asian
Champions League final.
side. While flattered by the interest, he insists he will not leave
Guangzhou before the end of
his contract a year from now,
although he is not ruling out discussions in the future.
“After November 14, if there is
a possibility to have discussions
about the national team then
we will see. But right now the
only thing I am focused on is the
Champions League.”
The success Lippi and his sizeable
Italian entourage are bringing
to Guangzhou, and the fact he
is being talked of as a future
national coach, more than justifies his decision to leave Italian
football for the first time after a
lifetime in the sport. He turned
down offers from Germany,
France and Spain because he
wanted to do “something completely different.” And despite
interest from the moneybags in
the Middle East, he chose China.
No Chinese team has ever
reached the final of the ACL since
it was revamped in 2001, let
alone won it. And only once has
China been home to the continental champions: Liaoning, 23
years ago.
The final was reached in style
too, with an 8-1 aggregate semifinal thrashing of Japanese side
Kashiwa Reysol, a result inspired
by the three amigos from South
America: Argentine Dario Conca
and Brazilians Elkeson and
Muriqui. They have been unstoppable in the knockout stages,
and Lippi is looking for them to
shine again.
“They complement each other
very well on the pitch,” he says.
“Elkeson and Muriqui have a very
good connection where they find
each other easily. The same with
Conca. He is from Argentina, but
he has played in Brazil and he
also understands the mentality and way of playing football
there.”
But with limitations on the number of foreign players, Lippi is
adamant that the key to success
14
Lippi gets grippy with the Holy Grail
is the Chinese spine of the side,
stars like Zheng Zhi and Gao Lin.
“The important thing is the
backbone. The backbone of the
team in any country is the players of that nation. We have a lot
of good Chinese players, which
has helped the success of the
team. The few foreigners bring
those Chinese players up. They
are the ideal conclusion for what
the Chinese players can bring to
the team.”
While he thinks it will be a “well
fought final,” Lippi is delighted
that the second leg will be in
the Tianhe Stadium “I am extremely happy. The first match
isn’t decisive and the fact you
have the possibility to play extra
time or penalties at home with
the support of everyone is a big
advantage.”
That support is something that
has impressed him over the past
18 months.
“I didn’t want to be the same
type of coach in Europe,” he
explains. “I had a couple of offers from Qatar and Saudi Arabia
and went there to meet people
but I decided to come to China
because it would be a complete
experience for me.
“It has been incredible. They
give us a lot of support with the
atmosphere they create with the
red shirts. We have an average
of 50,000 fans for every match.
Their support is also due to the
winning streak but it has helped
us throughout the championship.”
“After ten years at Juventus, that
was the club I was associated
with. Having won the World
Cup, I took a rest for a couple of
years, but I didn’t feel that was
the end. I had to keep working,
so I decided to come to China.
Obviously the economic side of
coming here is a positive one,
but it is not the only reason I
came here.”
Given his success with
Evergrande it is little wonder
that Lippi is repeatedly touted to
take over the struggling national
He has certainly not been disappointed by his decision to dare
to be different, and while he has
certainly made a difference he
knows his role is about much
more than the first team.
“I was asked by President Liu
[Yongzhou] to take a managerial
role in order to be able to organize the club at an international
level. I told them it will be a long
road and a difficult one, but we
are on target to reach the goal.
I obviously did not think that in
such a short time we would have
such success.”
A key part of smooth progress
along that road is addressing
the issue that surprised him
most when he arrived in China.
He confesses he knew very little
about football in China before
coming here, but quickly identified a problem.
“What I realized most was the
lack of football culture here
compared to Europe and South
America, where football is everywhere,” says Lippi. “Here you
don’t see kids playing football.
On TV you see a lot of badminton, sports like that they focus
on. I see that lack of culture in
the players in the championship. They lack imagination and
technique, the aggressiveness to
put pressure on players. But with
the help of international coaches
coming here that will improve.”
The need to instil a football culture
in China’s youngsters is the reason
Lippi takes seriously his role with
the soccer school that Evergrande
opened last year in partnership
with the Real Madrid Foundation.
He believes the facility is the best
in the world, with the possibility
to have an incredible three to four
thousand kids there.
“To develop football, these are
the type of structures China
needs,” he stresses. “I have given
tips in not spending all their
money on great foreign players,
but to create the grassroots of
football. It is better to spend a
little more on qualified coaches
that will bring their experience
South America for the first time,
listing Spain, Germany and the
Netherlands among the biggest
rivals to Brazil and Argentina.
The Three Amigos
Conca, Elkeson and Muriqui (pictured) have
scored 41 of Evergrande’s 69 goals in the 27
league games so far this season. They have
scored an incredible 25 goals between them
en route to the Champions League Final,
with Elkeson only available from the quarterfinal stage.
While admitting Brazil has a
clear advantage as hosts, he
argues: “It is important that
teams are physically and psychologically ready. Who would have
expected that Italy would win
it in 2006? But we had a full list
physically and psychologically
prepared, believing we could
win.”
Road to the final
A perfect six wins out of six in the knockout stages dispatched Central Coast Mariners,
Lekhwiya and Kashiwa Reysol with an incredible aggregate of 19-3.
Lippi’s trophy haul
2006 World Cup with Italy; 5 Serie A, 1 Coppa Italia, 4 SupercoppaItaliana, 1 UEFA

more on foreign players who are
a short fix.”
ether, with former England boss
Sven Goran Eriksson across the
city at Guangzhou R&F.
Having mentioned the importance of the Chinese backbone
for his team, Lippi adds: “An
example – Drogba, Anelka
and Tigana went to Shanghai
Shenhua, Drogba having
just helped Chelsea win the
Champions League – Shanghai
finished 11th. Dalian bought
Utaka and Keita and finished
12th. So what I mean is you don’t
only play with your foreign players. You don’t have a lot of success with those foreign players.”
“We have met a couple of times
for dinner and for the derby we
had a bet that the loser would
pay for the next meal. We won
so I was happy,” he smiles. “But
it is always nice to speak to
Eriksson, a coach at an international level, a very good coach.”
But Lippi does feel foreign
coaches are key to China’s football future, with Real Madrid
providing 15 Spanish coaches for
the Evergrande Soccer School,
coaching both the kids and the
Chinese coaches.
Lippi is not the only famous
foreign manager in Guangzhou
Wrapping up the title weeks
early has allowed Lippi the luxury
of focusing on the big final. He
is as excited about winning the
ACL with Evergrande as he was
about winning UEFA’s equivalent
with Juventus, but confesses the
one thing that stands alone in
terms of achievements is to win
the World Cup for your own
nation. Having lifted the World
Cup in Germany seven years ago,
Lippi is already looking forward
to next summer’s tournament in
Brazil. He believes it is possible
for a European side to triumph in
Can Italy win it again? “Of
course,” he replies without hesitation.
Disillusioned football fans here
believe the only way China could
qualify for the World Cup is by
hosting it, and Lippi thinks that
should and will happen.
“I truly believe so. It is such a
huge country I find it hard to believe they won’t. The investment
at various clubs shows their will
and effort to have the possibility
to host such a good event.”
Speaking on the day tickets
priced at RMB1,500-2,000 for
the second leg of the final sold
out in a matter of minutes, is he
aware that getting hold of the
hottest ticket in town is like finding hens’ teeth?
“That is not a problem for me, as
I get into the stadium whatever,”
he smiles.
Evergrande fans are very happy
that he does, and hope he will
continue to do so for a long time
to come.

Lippi believes any team that reaches the
final of the Champions League is a very
good one and he has spent a long time
watching film of Korean champions FC
Seoul in action.
“I have analyzed them very well,” he
explains. “They have good attackers,
and are well organized in midfield. In
Dejan Damjanovic (pictured), they have
a player who has the characteristics of
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and I think it is going
to be a well fought final. It is 50-50 for
each leg.”
While Evergrande wrapped up their
third successive CSL title nice and early,
allowing them to concentrate on the final, Seoul is in an almighty scrap as they
seek to retain their domestic title as well
as becoming continental champions.
They are managed by club legend Choi
Song-Yoo, who took over the reins in
2011 after five years as the assistant
boss. They accounted for Beijing Guoan
in the last 16 before narrow wins against
Al Ahli from Saudi Arabia and Iranian
side Estehgal in the quarter and semifinals respectively.

Adilson is rated as one of the best in the
K-League, while Montenegrin striker
Damjanovic is the top scoring foreigner
in Korean football history. He netted
in three of their last four ACL games.

Transsexuals headline 2013 Sexpo
by S.E. Smith
G
uangzhou Sex Culture
Festival will be opening its
legs to the city this month,
inviting in a whole bevy of visitors and exhibitors, from gawkers
and singletons to sexologists and
sex toy manufacturers. With the
domestic market for sex aids expected to grow to RMB40 billion
by 2014, it’s fair to say the people
of China are gagging for it. We
spoke to Professor Zhu Jiaming,
one of the organizers behind the
event, about what marvels will
greet attendees of the 11th edition.
Can you describe for those
that don’t know what the
Guangzhou Sexpo is and what
they can expect to see?
Guangzhou Sexpo is an annual
exhibition which promotes all
kinds of things related to sex.
Here, you can see how sex
culture has developed over the
centuries, get to know about
up-to-date sex-related products,
discuss the hottest sex issues
and hopefully enhance the way
you feel towards sex.
Things people expect are photo
exhibitions, exhibitions of ancient sex items, updated sexproduct displays, an underwear
fashion show and forums. Free
medical checks are also offered
on site.
16
Speaking of the fashion show,
this year we’ve invited transsexual models in China to strut
the catwalk. Although it is just
a tiny part of the whole exhibition, it certainly will draw a lot
of attention.
Can you tell us a little bit about
this year’s theme?
The theme for this year is
Healthy Sex, Happy Family, as
we believe healthy sex is one
element for a happy family. Each
exhibition has an in-built educational agenda. Last year it was
raising awareness about sperm
and donation banks. We want
more people to learn more sexrelated knowledge, which helps
to protect them when it comes
to having sex. Learning is nothing to be ashamed of.
What sorts of people usually
attend?
Normally, we see mostly middleaged men attending the exhibition. But in recent years, an
increasing number of young
women aged between 25 and
35 have been attending.
Why do you think that on average more men than women
show up?
The traditional Chinese educa-
tion has always required women
to be reserved and conservative.
We think that’s the main reason
why on average less women
attend this type of exhibition.
But attitudes are changing.
Especially after the government
carried out the policy of reform
and opening up, people have
become more open-minded.
Customers will
be able to take
along a picture
of their loved
one or whoever
and have their
face shaped
onto the doll
Can you describe the types of
exhibitors that we can expect
to see?
Sex toy exhibitors always constitute the largest part of the
whole exhibitors. This year, the
highlight of all the sex toys is
the inflatable doll produced
by Guangzhou Xinzhongyi
Technology Company, which
will be displayed on a yacht. The
doll is popular amongst those
who have lost their loved ones
or have an insatiable crush on
someone else. Customers will
be able to take along a picture
of their loved one or whoever
and have their face shaped onto
the doll.
Besides sex toys exhibitors,
there are also exhibitors of condoms, underwear and performance-enhancing products.
Do you think China is becoming
more and more comfortable
talking openly about sex?
Yes, definitely. Just look at the
number of people coming to
this exhibition. As China further
opens up to the world, Chinese
have greater access to find out
more about sex, and they want
to know more.
Finally, do you ever get people
attending expecting to meet
someone?
We don’t know. We don’t check
peoples’ purposes at the door!

Xiaozhou
Yuan Dynasty village vanishing
by Jane Kent
Over the last two years, Xiaozhou has undergone several reincarnations, but recent
visitors to the normally tranquil village
have been greeted by frenzied construction. Residents have been responding to
the Guangzhou government’s “Beautiful
Village” scheme. The incongruously titled
project is using RMB910 million to re-build
the ancient water village – the only one
remaining in Guangzhou.
Land is being requisitioned to erect a
park, a plaza and a garbage compression factory. Xiaozhou residents have
begun adding crazy extensions to their
properties, in an attempt to increase the
value of their land. During the October
National Week holiday, Haizhu District’s
urban management team sent over 1,000
officials to inspect the buildings and then
tore down a total of 14 structures which
they deemed illegal.
Constructed in the Yuan Dynasty between
1026 and 1368 BC, Xiaozhou’s network of
narrow waterways and bridges were used
by the Tanka people, also known as ‘sea
gypsies.’ Original bluestone paths wind
past an ancient clan temple, centuriesold banyan trees and three oyster-shell
18
houses – treasured examples of Tanka
architectural heritage.
Before the 2010 Asian Games, Xiaozhou
underwent an unexpected transformation. An artist community was displaced
by the bulldozing of nearby Xiaoguwei
Island in order to build University City.
Many re-located to Xiaozhou, reinvigorating the quiet streets with color, culture
and a youthful ambience. With the arrival
of artists, photographers, writers and students, new life was breathed into the site
as old homes became studios and shops.
A dynamic contrast emerged: local folk
customs such as embroidery were being
preserved alongside funky art exhibits.
The Beautiful Village project states the
historic buildings will be renovated in order to preserve them and keep their local
‘Lingnan’ features, including the oystershell houses. However, one of the three
houses has already disappeared, as well
as many members of the artsy community
and the vibrant ambiance they’d infused.

Madagascar
A haven of biodiversity
By Jane Kent
M
adagascar is a land of
superlatives. Much of
what is so jaw-dropping
and special about this country are
the oddities found nowhere else.
After breaking away from India
88 million years ago, the flora
and fauna evolved in isolation,
creating a one-of-a-kind ecosystem adrift in the Indian Ocean.
This sequestering accounts for a
large part of the island’s startling
uniqueness: over 90 percent
of Madagascar’s wildlife can
be found nowhere else on the
planet. Same goes for 60 percent
of the birds and 80 percent of
all plants, including 165 types of
endemic palm trees and 860 varieties of orchid.
Surprisingly, the first humans
to arrive didn’t come from the
African continent. In what must
have been a remarkable journey
2,400 years ago, the first inhabitants were some brave seafarers from Borneo in outrigger
canoes. The Africans did eventually cross the Mozambique
Channel and settle more than
a millennium later, mixing with
the Indonesians. While there
are 18 different subgroups
acknowledged, recent DNA testing shows that the majority of
Malagasy people carry nearly
equal parts Asian and African
genes. The mixture is apparent
not just in the unique faces of
the people, but in the noodle
stalls on the street, the rice paddies dotting the lowlands and
the Malagasy language – its
closest linguistic cousin is an
Indonesian dialect.
A Madagascar trip requires a
lot of planning. It is the fourth
largest island in the world, with
an intense array of landscapes.
There are rainforests, beaches,
baobab forests, deserts, unusual
rock formations and even a
smattering of other tiny islands
on the periphery. The roads are
limited, mostly dirt and deeply
rutted. This means forking out
for four-wheel drive vehicles,
private boats and domestic
flights.
We focused on the northern
end, hoping to combine wildlife,
jungle treks and island hopping.
After flying into Diego Suarez,
24
is the only part of Madagascar
they will see – it is a popular
stop on European cruise routes.
The afternoon we arrive, a ship
has just left and locals seem
confused by our presence. We
meet our driver and head out of
town. The bumpy drive inland
passes through tiny villages
which were formerly French
military outposts, some with
non-native names like JoffreVille. These clusters of decrepit
cottages seem frozen in time.
Rundown and rusted, they are
oddly intriguing examples of
French colonial architecture.
Further down the road is beautiful Le Domaine de Fontenay, a
restored French settler’s home.
Now a posh lodge and awardwinning restaurant, its claims to
fame include a chimney made
by Gustave Eiffel and a 250-yearold pet turtle named Galileo.
The colorful streets of Anatanarivo, seen from the Haut-Ville
A park guide navigates us through
a Dr. Seussian forest of gigantic,
cartoonish trees, teeming with life
we spend a half day wandering
around the pretty, bougainvillea-lined streets downtown.
Reminiscent of the French
quarters found in New Orleans
and Hanoi, it has a tradition of
cafe culture and lovely ironwork
balconies. The Asian and African
influences in Madagascar are
unusual, but the newer effects
of French dominance are more
superficially apparent. The
country gained independence
in 1960, but the French influence has endured more here
than in other former colonies,
and not just in terms of food,
although croissants, baguettes,
cheeses and wines can be found
in even the most unlikely places.
The language persists on all
signs and is widely spoken.
Economically, France is an important trading partner; stores
are lined with items from France
and practically nowhere else.
Politically, the former colonizer
still has a powerful grip. In 2009,
when elected president Marc
Ravalomanana was ousted in
a coup, the French government intervened immediately
and helped replace him with a
candidate they preferred. More
tourists come from France than
anywhere else.
For many visitors, Diego Suarez
Thirty minutes more and we arrive at the Nature Lodge, a bit
of a remote choice but a good
base, with minimalist mahogany
bungalows overlooking a lush
valley. During the day, there are
walks to nearby waterfalls. All
meals are served at the main
house; simple French fare like
omelets, baguettes and homemade jams.
Our first of many snake sightings occurs en route to the
resort. The second morning,
we discover a chunky, meterlong serpent sprawled out
across the path between our
bungalow and the main house.
Determined to sunbathe, it
eventually slithers away after 20
minutes, following some gentle
prodding with a very long stick
by our driver.
The main attraction in this
region is the Parc National de
Montagne d’Ambre. We spend
the day with a park guide,
who navigates us through a
Dr. Seussian forest of gigantic,
cartoonish trees, many of them
mushroom encrusted and teeming with life. At one point our
guide gets down on hands and
knees, his eyeballs only inches
away from the mossy roots of
a tree, to unearth the world’s
smallest species of chameleon,
a 3-centimeter-long lizard.
Our bungalow is perched high
up the mountain in dense jungle
with incredible views over the
ocean. Nosy Komba is known
for its black lemur population,
the eerie calls and squeals of
which are often heard. Sitting
on our balcony, leaves start to
rustle and branches move, and
a family of lemurs are suddenly
in front of us. They play, chatter
and leap from tree to tree, in a
noisy, exhilarating 10-minute
parade. In the evenings, we dine
outside and listen to the singing floating up from the nearby
village.
The view from Nosy Komba over to the 'big' island
Madagascar, he tells us, is the
origin of all chameleons. On the
same tree we also discover the
world’s largest centipede.
We drive much of the next
day, passing rice paddies in the
lowlands and some tsingy, the
angular rock formations that jut
out of the hillsides. Our destination is the town of Ankify, where
we have arranged for a motor
boat to take us to Nosy Komba,
a small volcanic island. There
are a handful of these islands,
and most have only one or two
places to stay. Prices can be high
because all supplies are brought
in by boat, but this also has its
benefits: we are the only people
there and have the gorgeous
white sand beach to ourselves.
After several days slide past, we
take a motorboat to the island
of Nosy Be, to the port town
Hell-Ville (which is nothing
like the name would suggest)
to fly back to Antananrivo.
Tana, as it is nicknamed, is another crumbling time capsule of
French colonial rule. The city is
a delightful jumble of crooked
houses splashed with pastel
colors, old Citroen taxis chugging up winding hills and wide
boulevards and squares alive
with markets. Adding to this are
charming boutique hotels and
first-class cuisine served in res-
taurants such as Café de la Gare,
the former French train station.
Walking up to the Haut-Ville
area to see the former palace
and stunning view across most
of the city, there are regrets that
we didn’t schedule more time to
explore the city. Seasoned travelers often say with African cities
that you should fly in and get
out elsewhere right away, but
Tana belies this adage. It is the
sleeper hit of the holiday, and
a fitting end to a trip where the
unexpected is the norm.

Live for art
Amongst the many tempestuous
romances of Puccini’s operas,
the fiery affair between artist
Cavaradossi and singer Tosca is
arguably the most passionate.
Though Tosca’s plot tends toward
the melodramatic, its music is some
of Puccini’s finest, particularly the
heroine’s key aria, ‘Vissi d’Arte.’
Sung during the penultimate scene,
the titular character must decide
whether to save her lover from
execution by giving into the lustful
overtures of the chief of police. “I
lived for art,” opens her refrain, as
she plaintively asks God why he
has forced her into the impossible
situation.

The Birth of Chinese Feminism
Scholarly look at the rise of women’s rights
BY Aelred Doyle
T
he academic nature of this
book comes over in its
subtitle: "Essential Texts in
Transnational Theory." It's not for
everyone; but as the first Englishlanguage discussion and translation of a fearless early Chinese
feminist, it's fascinating. The
introduction examines the arguments of He-Yin Zhen, a late Qing
feminist writer, with particular
attention to how they oppose the
feminist essays of the far better
known male writers Liang Qichao
and Jin Tianhe. A ‘Historical
Context’ section situates Chinese
feminism in the changing world
of the time, and the main body
of the book consists of He-Yin's
writings. To better understand her
views, Liang's essay 'On Women's
Education' and Jin's 'The Women's
Bell' are also included.
Liang and Jin's writing is
straightforward to the modern
reader; He-Yin's, dense with
classical reference, demands
more work, and footnotes clar-
ify immensely. The main thrust
is her "attack on the progressive
male intellectuals of her time –
men who championed women's
education, suffrage and gender
equality and who would have
been her allies." She argued
that the trend of the times for
Europeanization among Chinese
intellectuals was the source of
their newfound interest in the
rights of women:
"These men think that they will
be applauded by the whole
world for having joined the ranks
of civilized nations... I am inclined
to think that these men act purely out of a selfish desire to claim
women as private property. Were
it not so, why would a woman's
reputation, good or bad, have
anything whatsoever to do with
them?... This is what I call men's
pursuit of self-distinction in the
name of women's liberation."
The early 20th century was obviously a politically fraught time in
China, and part of the attempt
to form a post-dynastic nation
entailed a response to the "hypermasculinity" represented by
the Western powers that had
dominated through military
power, along with their representation of China as barbaric
and uncivilized. He-Yin Zhen did
not accept women's liberation
as part of the project of building a strong state that would
demand respect from the West;
she saw this as a new form of
subservience that continued to
put women's rights in the shade
of state power.
As subversively, she used the
conventional Chinese summoning of textual authority through
assiduous reference to classical
works to go even further, as editors Lydia H. Liu, Rebecca E. Karl
and Dorothy Ko note: "He-Yin's
attack on Confucianism – as
textual practice, as a system of
ethics and thought and also as
a structure of sociopolitical and
economic arrangement – is one
of the first such comprehensive
attacks in Chinese history."
This is a debate that has plenty
of contemporary relevance, and
He-Yin Zhen's voice is a distinctly modern one. The editors of
this book have done us a service
by letting us hear it.
Tomorrow City
Has this hardboiled novel been over-egged?
BY Aelred Doyle
B
rendan Lavin gets out
of Rikers and tries to go
straight, but money is
tight and he joins a crew to take
down an armored car. It goes
wrong, blood is spilled and he
flees New York. Cut to 12 years
later, shortly before the Year of
the Tiger begins in 2010, and
he's a whole new man. He owns
a bakery in Shanghai, has a wife
and child. Life is good. Then his
past catches up with him, and
he's forced to become a criminal
again to keep his family safe.
So then... wait, did you say he
owns a bakery in Shanghai?
Enjoyment of this novel may depend on how you feel about that.
Author Kirk Kjeldsen lives in the
city and has decided to write a
hardboiled American crime novel
based there, and to some extent
he succeeds. The plot rolls along
efficiently, Brendan is a suitably
compromised but ultimately
decent protagonist, and there
are some nifty twists, as well as a
nicely judged downbeat conclusion. The problem is it feels about
two edits from being done; the
bread has not quite risen.
On the plus side, it's great fun to
read about shoot-outs on French
Concession streets. Kjeldsen
shifts his characters around Bund
bars, hidden lanes and buildings
under construction, and as an
actual resident does Shanghai
far better than people like Tony
Parsons have managed in literary attempts. However, it doesn't
always come over exactly right.
Brendan wouldn't need to speak
any Shanghainese, just Mandarin;
the American villains get around
a new city effortlessly, including
nonchalantly carrying a bag of
guns around the Metro (actually,
this seems a missed trick; if the
book was set a few months later,
he could have described them
simply ignoring the 12-year-olds
manning pointless metal detectors). Having one of them be
half-Chinese is clever, but they do
seem to both get to and adapt to
Shanghai awfully quickly.
Most glaringly, when the heist
inevitably goes wrong, there's an
unexplained local woman shooting away with a handgun. It’s an
implausibility that takes the reader right out of the story. If she's
meant to be undercover security
(which doesn't seem right in the
context either) then we need to
know this.
There are plenty of nice touches
too, though. "Chateau Bacchus
KTV" is witty and the Fujian
gangster who wants to take a
picture with the "African" (i.e.
black American) in the crew is all
too believable.
Kjeldsen knows his genre, and
there's plenty to like here, but
it never quite feels completely
fleshed out. But if he tightened
up and came back with a screenplay – now that would be fun.

So Young
(Gross: US$114.7 million. Director:
Zhao Wei)
While the Golden Horse Awards fete
the most artistic in Chinese-language
cinema, what did people across
China really see? We break down the
top five highest-grossing Chinese
films released this year so far.
Journey to the West: Conquering
the Demons
(Gross: US$200.5 million. Director:
Stephen Chow)
Hong Kong comedic actor/director
Stephen Chow’s latest film dominated
over winter. A comic reinterpretation
of the classic Journey to the West
novel, it grossed RMB122 million
on its opening day, breaking the
Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon
record and is currently the second
highest-grossing movie ever in China,
behind last year’s Lost in Thailand and
in front of Titanic.
One of China’s most popular actresses
and Mandopop singers, Zhao Wei
scored big bucks with her directorial
debut. Based on the Xin Yiwu novel,
To Our Youth That is Fading Away,
the film follows the lives of college
students during the go-go ‘90s. While
it centers on a romance, So Young has
been praised as a celebration of youth
during a particularly wild time. Could
a Chinese ‘90s revival be happening?
Finding Mr. Right
(Gross: US$82.7 million. Director: Xue
Xiaolu)
This hit romantic comedy thrives on
the chemistry between stars Tang
Wei and Wu Xiubo. Finding Mr. Right
follows a pregnant mistress of a
powerful tycoon who is sent off to
Seattle to avoid scandal. While there,
she meets a Beijing doctor and a cast
of curious characters. You can probably
guess what transpires. Moral questions
and rom-com clichés aside, the film
is notable for Tang’s performance –
a welcome return to the mainland
spotlight after briefly being banned
from screens following her risqué
appearance in Lust, Caution.
American Dreams in China
(Gross: US$86.5 million. Director: Peter
Chan)
Based on the true story of the Beijing
New Oriental School, American
Dreams in China follows three friends
from their university days in the
1980s to the founding of their English
school and finding success around the
time of the Beijing Olympics. Directed
by Golden Horse Award-winning
director Peter Chan, the movie
captures the sweeping changes of the
country while following the evolving
relationship of three friends from
college to adulthood.
Tiny Times 1.0
(Gross: US$78.8 million. Director: Guo
Jingming)
Guo Jingming has been pushing
the frontier in Chinese young adult
fiction and making serious dough
for some years. Now, he’s having the
same success with film, adapting
the first two parts of his popular
Tiny Times series into two huge
moneymakers. Tiny Times 1.0 follows
a group of women navigating life as
they come of age in the high-fashion
world of Shanghai. While Chinese
reviewers hated the chick flick, it was
so popular with the public that the

CHINA’S INFRASTRUCTURE EXPLOSION
By the that's team
I
n the winter of 1847, a full
29-years before China’s
first railroad came into
service, British engineer
and spearhead of the industrial age, Isambard Kingdom
Brunel, stood amid the wreckage of a collapsed bridge that
had resulted in the deaths of
five rail passengers and declared
himself, “opposed to the laying
down of rules or conditions to
be observed in the construction
of bridges, lest the progress
of improvement tomorrow be
embarrassed or shackled by the
prejudices or errors of today.”
It was the type of bold and uncompromising statement that
has come to typify attitudes to
transport in modern day China.
Over the last 50 years, China’s
transport infrastructure has
expanded at a rate that Brunel
himself would have found
hard to comprehend. Prior to
the founding of the People’s
Republic in 1949, the country
had less than 21,800 kilometers
of rail lines, while all but a few
cities and towns outside of the
country’s major economic centers were connected by road. Air
travel was the exclusive preserve
of the military and bicycles were
a luxury.
Yet today, over 97 percent of the
country is connected by road;
planes carry millions of passengers each day; and the rail network is the envy of the world.
Oh, and the biggest selling bicycle is electric.
Given such great and far reaching change, it’s no surprise
to learn that under the last
administration, eight of the top
nine political posts were held
by engineers, including former
President Hu Jintao, who was
trained as a hydraulic engineer,
and former Premier Wen Jiabao,
who was a geo-mechanical engineer.
It is often noted, that while
America’s class of lawyerly politicians led the country into economic crisis, China’s engineer
statesmen paved their way out
of financial difficulty building
roads, airports and rail networks
by means of a huge government
backed stimulus plan.

highways linking remote western
villages to the booming metropolises of the eastern coast and the
construction of scores of new
provincial airports.
But as Brunel could attest, such
ambition is not without its con-
sequences, and in July 2011 two
high speed trains collided in
the city of Wenzhou, killing 40
and injuring 192. The disaster
led to the breakup of the once
all powerful rail ministry, and
broad sweeping changes within
the transport sector. Yet still the
country powered on – laying
new track, building new bridges
and constructing new roads.
China today is a country accessible and connected as never
before; its people more mobile
and its economy more buoyant.
The wider social changes that
continue to reshape the country
are delivered in no small part via
the wonder of its transport system. Over the next few pages,
we examine this modern miracle
and try to put some of those
enormous numbers and statistics into some form of recognizable human context. From the
country’s booming copycat car
industry to its favorite in-flight
meals; from new airport projects
to the future of the high-speed
rail network, it’s all here. So sit
back, nerd out and marvel at the
sheer size of that… traffic jam.

This was followed by an announcement of plans to spend
RMB687 billion on railway infrastructure every year until 2020.
Last January, the final links of
the 2,078 kilometers east-west
route between Shanghai and
Chengdu became operational,
connecting China’s primary economic center with the country’s
largest western hub in just 20
hours – normal trains take twice
as long.
B
etter, faster, larger:
although opened to
passengers only six
years ago, China’s
high-speed rail
network (HSR) now boasts the
world’s largest grid, with more
than 9,800 kilometers of track
and a goal of hitting 16,000 kilometers by 2020.
More convenient than flying –
which also remains prohibitively
expensive for many – highspeed lines have dramatically
reshaped the way China moves.
Since its commencement in
2007, the high-speed network
has carried nearly twice as many
passengers each month as the
country’s domestic airlines.
In response, aviation companies
have moved to halt services on
routes covering less than 500
kilometers when high-speed
rail links are available, and have
reduced flights on routes that
share a high-speed line over distances of 500-750 kilometers.
through nearly 2,000 train trips
a day, it’s no surprise this transit
option has become so popular,
particularly as domestic flights
have some of the worst air traffic delays in the world (see p69).
However, the impact that bullet
trains have had on China’s transport system extends beyond
mere railway and plane showdowns. It extends to productivity, relocation and new markets.
This huge infrastructure network has lessened the gap
between companies and millions of potential customers and
employees. When you can travel
from Beijing to Guangzhou (the
world’s longest line at 2,298
kilometers) in eight hours, visiting factories and meeting clients
goes from being a once-amonth trip to a weekly routine.
It has also reduced shipping
costs and travel times, as well as
increasing business along highspeed routes.
With passenger traffic steadily
growing at 28 percent a year, by
early 2014 the number of highspeed rail travelers is expected
to surpass the 54 million people
a month who board domestic
flights in the US, the world’s
largest domestic air market.
For instance, research centers in
cities like Beijing and Shenzhen
are now able to send employees
to factories in locations with
lower wages, like Changsha, in
order for them to oversee their
product design and development.
Stitching the country together
China’s rail revolution has also

helped to speed the rate of urbanization by moving rural families residing in the path of the
oncoming tracks to newly built
residential centers and districts
centered around high-speed
train stations, creating brandnew suburban clusters amid
former backwaters.
However, such breakneck
growth has come at a significant human cost. High-profile
issues regarding safety, as well
as numerous cases of systemwide corruption in the bidding
process, have cast a shadow of
distrust. The deadly Wenzhou
crash, which killed 40 people
and injured 192 in 2011, did
nothing to assuage fears.
The government has since
moved to shore up public confidence, handing former Railways
Minister Liu Zhijun a suspended
death sentence over charges of
corruption and abuse of power,
after he was found to have ac-
In July, the Nanjing-HangzhouNingbo high-speed railway
stretching across east China’s
Yangtze River Delta was officially
opened to the public, cutting
travel time between Nanjing and
Hangzhou from 140 minutes to
70 minutes. More links will be
added in the months and years
ahead.
Soon, finding more investments
for such plans will no longer be
a simple Chinese matter. During
a recent state visit to Thailand,
Premier Li Keqiang opened an
exhibit on China’s high-speed
rail system in Bangkok to promote a high-speed railway
linking China, Thailand and
Singapore in less than 12 hours
– an attempt to seek business
for his country’s technology, but
also a sign of China’s growing
influence in South-East Asian
affairs.

Important tracks in Chinese history
Giddy-up
Made by China
First is worst
Completed in November 1881,
the Kaiping Tramway marked
the beginning of China’s official
railway network, created to
transport valuable coal from the
mountainous Kaiping mines to
Tangshan. Stretching 9.7 kilometers, the government specifically
decreed that the train be muledrawn, as they were afraid noise
and vibrations would disturb a
cluster of royal ancestral tombs.
Convinced this was wrong, the
project’s engineer-in-chief, Claude
W. Kinder, secretly had a steam
engine constructed using an old
George Stephenson blueprint and
spare parts found on site. Dubbed
“The Chinese Rocket,” officials
changed their tune after taking a
ride in the piecemeal coach, and
Kinder was allowed to extend his
railroad by a further 65 kilometers
(and was later named an honorary Chinese official). By the early
1900s, this line stretched through
Beijing and Shenyang over a span
of 800 kilometers. It is the oldest
track in China still in use today.
In July 1876, the 15-kilometer-long Wusong railway was illegally
constructed and put into operation by British merchants, much
to the Qing government’s chagrin. Connecting Shanghai and the
port of Wusong (today’s Baoshan District), this railway was only
in operation for 16 months; after buying the rights, the state immediately dismantled both train and track and then shipped the
pieces to Taiwan.
Death and rebirth
To Russia… no love
The China Eastern Railway is perhaps one of the most contentious
routes in Chinese history. When construction began in July of 1896,
it was meant to connect the Siberian city of Chita to Vladivostok via
Harbin and, six years later, become an extension of the newly minted
Trans-Siberian Railroad, which ran to St. Petersburg. Its transnational
course through resource-rich areas made it an important doorway asset.
The Bolsheviks, the White Army, the Americans, the Japanese, the Qing,
the Communists and a Kuomingtang warlord have all laid claim to it. It
eventually passed back into Chinese hands in 1952.

While more than 643 kilometers
of track was built between 1895
and 1903, the Imperial PekingKalgan Railway (aka the Jingbao
Railway) was the first system
designed and constructed without foreign capital or assistance.
Yale educated and ambitious,
Jeme Tien Yow (Zhan Tianyou)
was appointed chief engineer
after he completed a train line for
the Empress Dowager Cixi (who
needed to visit ancestral tombs
outside Beijing). His railway,
finished in 1909, stretched from
the capital through harsh and
mountainous terrain towards the
important trade city of Kalgan
(Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province).
To get there, Jeme used an innovative switchback system to
get the train up a steep gradient
at Badaling. He is still referred
to today as the father of China’s
railways.
The Second Sino-Japanese War is
thought to have destroyed over
23,000 kilometers of rail track.
What little was left was all but
decimated during the Chinese
civil war. By 1948, the country
was left with just 8,000 kilometers
of track. When the PRC was finally
founded in 1949, a railway revival
was launched and, by the end of
that year, tracks were back to a
length of 22,000 kilometers. By
the end of 2012, the total network
length topped 98,000 kilometers
with 19,431 trains, 622,284 freight
cars and 52,130 passenger coaches running along on top.

On October 8, 21 couples
suited up and hopped on a
high-speed train heading from
Hangzhou to Ningbo. Organized
by the Hangzhou Tourism
Administration, “The West Lake
Romance” event turned out to
be nothing like expected. Instead
of proclaiming their affections
around a picturesque lake, the
lovebirds found themselves transferred to the third compartment
on train D377. Classy. The newlyweds and long-married amores
did, however, receive roses and
gifts. Seems like the Hangzhou
Tourism Administration has found
a new way to “speed up” happiness.
Perhaps train weddings are the
way to go, especially when you
can’t afford the trip home, as happened to 20-something Zhong

by a train conductor, surnamed

RMB2 in his pocket – RMB12.5
less than he needed – because he
had attended 11 weddings over
a week-long break. His RMB4,000
monthly salary, plus a borrowed
RMB1,000 from his parents, had
all gone towards hongbaos for his
lucky friends-in-love. Liu took pity
on the selfless chap and funded
his ride home.
In need of a nap, a massively inebriated man in Zhejiang entered a

Remember when you were a kid
and thought you had built the
best track for your toy car? Well,
you failed… by a significant margin. On November 24, 2012, the
Science and Technology Museum
in Shanghai built the world’s
longest plastic toy train track –
starring none other than Thomas
the Tank Engine. The track used
13,769 pieces of track and measured 2,888 meters – that’s about
six times taller than Shanghai’s
Oriental Pearl Tower. However,
the record was smashed this year
by some upstart Danish Lego enthusiasts, whose track maxed out
at 4,000.25 meters. Choo-choo!
After making its debut at a
Parisian fashion show entitled
The Art of Travel, the Louis Vuitton
Express took to the tracks and
chugged its way to Shanghai via
Siberia, a trip that took 12 days
and was documented by famed
photographer Todd Selby. In town
for the reopening of the brand’s
enlarged and refurbished flagship store, the train proved quite
a spectacle when, filled with
models, it was rolled onto a set
erected on the Bund. Afterwards,
post-show attendees were invited
to hop onboard. Who knew that a
caboose could be so cool?
While heading to catch their hot

espite
becoming the
world’s second
largest economy,
China remains a
relative backwater in
terms of its airport
infrastructure. To put
it in perspective, the
US has in the region
of 17,000 airports.
China, which last
year recorded an all
time high of over
296 million domestic
passenger journeys,
currently boasts just
183. Even Brazil and
South Africa have
more. 
It’s perhaps unsurprising, then,
that the central government is
keen to boost its investment in
the aviation industry. Earlier this
year, Li Jiaxiang, director of the
Civil Aviation Administration of
China, announced that China
aims to build 82 new airports
and expand 101 existing ones
during the current five-year
plan, the 12th, which ends in
2015.
Beijing has said they hope
this airport boom will attract
investment in the logistics, hightechnology and finance sectors,
the sort of businesses the capital
is encouraging as it seeks to
move the economy away from
an over-reliance on smoke-stack
industries. Many of the new
facilities will be feeder airports,
connecting central and western regions with the wealthier
coastal cities.
“Cities that were too small or illequipped ten or 20 years to accommodate an airport are now
ready to not just house domestic but international ones also,”
says Eric Potterfield, architectural consultant to the extension of

Baiyun International Airport.
Some of the more interesting
developments from the list include Dalian’s building of a 20.9
square kilometer man-made
island for a new airport – the
largest of its kind in the world.
In Hubei Province, the city of
Shennongjia has razed five colossal mountains to make way
for its new hub.
Also on the list is Guangzhou’s
Baiyun International Airport, a
hub in the process of a major
extension. It’s an airport that
already handles more than 45
million passengers per year;
however the one terminal it has
was designed to handle 35 million at a push.
With that kind of traffic airports can of course make a lot
of money – back in 2011 they
earned RMB4.6 billion according
to Li Jiaxiang.
“When it comes to actually
building them, aside from the
government, it’s the airline carriers that have a large part in
the whole construction. They’ll
be the ones paying for it. For an
airport like Baiyun International,
China Southern will have had a
huge say,” explains Potterfield.
The expansion, now underway,
will involve adding a second
terminal; a move that will enable the airport to process and
accommodate more than the
80 million passengers per year,
expected by 2020.
Yet building booms can also be
a huge bane to provincial administrations and operators.
Of the mainland’s 183 airports,
143 lose money, data from the
Civil Aviation Administration of
China shows. Statistics imply
that more than 60 of the 80 new
airports envisioned in the latest
five-year plan to 2015 will end
up in debt.
If the government decides
to build an airport relatively
close to an already existing
one – Shanghai’s Hongqiao
International Airport and
Pudong International Airport
for example – airlines fear they
will be forced to operate out of
both airports, thereby increasing
costs and reducing flexibility. 
Air traffic congestion has been
an important driving force in
the push for more airports.
With around half of all Chinese
airspace reserved solely for the
military and flights departing
from Chinese airports the most
frequently delayed in the world,
there is a pressing need for
more routes to become available.
This, it is hoped, will ease the
current inefficiency, which is
increasingly leading to violent
confrontations between passengers and airline staff, as regularly reported in the local and
international press.
Regardless as to whether or
not they’re a viable investment,
one thing is for certain – China’s
airports are, for now, a booming
industry.

Airlines change up their flight attendants
A review of inflight meals
U
ntil recently, becoming
a flight attendant in
China was a breeze. You
just needed to be young (aged
18-25), tall (minimum 1.75 meters for men, 1.65 meters for
women) and educated (at least a
college graduate). Oh, and don’t
forget attractive (well-proportioned body and a good-looking
face) and unmarried (no strings
attached?) Understandable,
then, that Chinese airlines have
made some minor readjustments to their recruitment policies.
But to be honest, the stress is on
the minor. Age limits have been
extended to the grand old age
of 30 for most companies, with
Spring Airlines even going so
far as to hire some retirementthreatening 45-year-olds. No
accusations of ageism here then,
but companies also highlighted
senior attendants’ experience and
their obvious distinction of having a more soothing nature when
interacting with passengers.
Being tall and pretty was once
a must for any aspiring flight
attendant, but now even relatively plain-looking men and
women can be hired (although
it’s unclear whether out and out
ugliness is acceptable.) And the
more vertically challenged out

fact that the height restriction
for women has plummeted –
by three centimeters – to 1.62
meters. (That’s a whopping 30

A separate ranking of Asian
hubs showed that many provincial Chinese airports, including
Guangzhou, could only manage to
get half of their flights out on time.
Perhaps unsurprisingly,
Shanghai Pudong and Hongqiao

States. Neither government has
yet created the necessary urban
and highway infrastructure
needed to support electric cars.
For example, there’s no countrywide charging infrastructure, or
standardized battery technology.
How do you travel from point A,
to point B, to point C, if you can
only charge your car at point A
because there’s no charging station at point B, and Point C uses
incompatible technology?”
There’s also the issue of price.
Currently electric cars are on
average 30 percent more expensive than regular fuel cars.
“Essentially, mass urbanization means that more
and more Chinese are
now living in cities,
predominately
on the outskirts
where rents
are cheaper,”
says Weinert.
“However, a considerable number of these
people are unable to afford a
regular fuel car, let alone an
electric car, and so with the
public transport infrastructure
unable to keep up, they buy
electric bikes. Hence their overwhelming popularity. Unless
something dramatic happens,
electric cars will never be able
to compete. Price will always
win out.”
Realizing the difficulties facing consumers, in September
this year the central government announced a new range
of incentives, including up to
RMB60,000 in subsidies toward
Domestic analysts
once talked
excitedly about
the possibility of
China leading
the way in the
nascent global
electric car
industry
the purchase of an all-electric
car. However, even
after the deduction of
various incentives,
consumers will still
be required to pay
around RMB140,000.
Far higher than the
price of a new petrol
powered family car.
China’s leading electric car
manufacturer, BYD sold just
1,700 electric cars and 700
electric buses last year, accounting for less than one
percent of the company’s total
car sales. The company’s leading model, the e6, currently
retails for RMB370,000, placing
it within the pricier end of the
car market. “Most people who
have that type of money probably wouldn’t want to spend
it on a car with a top speed of
100mph,” says Weinert. “They’d
rather go with something fast
and sexy.” That’s two concepts
that even the Chinese government may find hard to deliver.
The year China produced its first commercial car (in 1958 the USA had 57
million cars on its roads).

produced in 1985.

Grand Theft Autos
Counterfeit cars and stolen designs
China never ceases to amaze us with its endless run of knock-offs and shameful impersonations. Here’s a run
down of the country’s leading copycat motor vehicles
Riich (瑞麒 Ruiqi)
Wuhu, Anhui
Province VS. Bentley
Starting perhaps with most obvious, Riich is a company whose
name just oozes class – but
whose logo exudes something
different. (The Bentley logo maybe?) They paid the price for their
lack of originality, as poor sales
meant the brand was discontinued earlier this year by parent
company Chery Motors.
As you probably guessed from
the logo and name, Riich was
intended as a luxury car brand.
One of their flagship motors,
4x4 style X1 model, has a
modest 1.3-liter and cost just
US$8,000 – perhaps not suited
to a millionaire looking to wow.
We like it because it looks like a
panda.
Shuanghuan
Auto (双环汽车
Shuanghuan Qi Che)
Shijiazhuang, Hebei
vs. Smart Fortwo
Shuanghuan are a Shijiazhuangbased company who’ve been
wheeling out quality but affordable motors since 1988. Despite
the success they've had at least
six lawsuits filed against their
designs, mostly from European
manufacturers like BMW and
Mercedes. A quick glance at
their Noble model and the
Smart Fortwo, and it's not hard
to see why Smart's parent company Daimler filed a case claiming the design had been copied.
Shuanghuan argue that a look
cannot be patented, maintaining
(truthfully) that the mechanics
under the hood of their Noble
are not similar to the Smartcar.
That approach saw them win
a 2009 lawsuit allowing them
to distribute in
Greece, where
a population
crippled by
the economic
crisis might
see the estimated US$5,000
saved over the
original model a smarter
option.
Under the Hood
I
n 2009 China became the
world’s largest producer and
consumer of passenger cars
and light trucks. Yet despite the
milestone, Chinese auto makers
are having a tough time competing with international brands such
as Volkswagen and Toyota. As
China’s domestic market continues to boom, homegrown brands
are finding themselves increasingly marginalized as Chinese consumers opt for more expensive
foreign owned rivals.
Although China’s favorite car is
the domestically owned Wuling
Hong Guang, the overall market
share of Chinese brands has
shrunk from about 30 percent in
2009 to less than 26 percent by
the end of 2012. This year’s top
ten selling cars feature just two
domestic brands, alongside four
kinds of VW, three GMs and one
Hyundai.
BYD Auto (比亚迪
Biyadi) Shenzhen,
Guangdong vs.
Mercedes
FAW Group (第一汽
车集团 Di Yi Qi Che
Jituan) Changchun,
Jilin vs. Volkswagen
Steering away from copycats
isn't easy, even if you enter into
a joint partnership with a domestic Chinese manufacturer, a
requirement for foreign companies looking to get a slice of the
huge market here.
Volkswagen teamed up with
First Automotive Works (FAW),
selling 2.26 million cars in China
in 2011, 27 percent of their total
worldwide sales according to
Business Insider.
It’s not just limited to brands
you’ve never heard of. A Reuters
special investigation in 2011
uncovered Wikileaks cables
between the US and its Consul
in Guangdong implying BYD
(thought to stand for “Build
Your Dreams”), one of China’s
most recognizable vehicle
brands, was deliberately stealing other companies’ designs
and undercutting rivals. One
American diplomat, made
aware of their practices,
joked, “BYD seeks to build
your dreams – based on
someone else’s designs.”
A quick look at their S8 model
and it’s not hard to see where
they’ve taken inspiration from.
But they should have been paying closer attention to those
FAW mechanics poking around.
In August 2012, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported
FAW were replicating the VW
Polo and Golf’s transmission
designs for use in
vehicles made
under the FAW
brand – separate from the
co-venture. VW
launched a
probe, but has
since gone
quiet, perhaps
not wanting to ruffle too
many feathers given their successful sales.

Rockin’ the Mic
A tour through Guangzhou’s open mic nights
By S.E. Smith
Given the sheer number of expats living in the city, it’s surprising that there aren’t more open mic
nights out there. Just where can an expat get on stage and belt a few (sometimes off-key) tunes
out? That’s PRD spent a tumultuous week searching high and low to deliver three of the most
reliable open mic nights in Guangzhou.
Rebel Rebel
The Brew (JSL)
Hooley’s Irish Bar
Rebel Rebel holds the newest of the
three open mic nights currently under
the microscope. Forty-eight-year-old
Brit Michael Kerton began it five months
back. With the likes of Mick Jagger, David
Bowie and Paul Weller plastered on the
walls, would-be vocal superstars are certainly in good company. As a timid but
enthusiastic Leo from Guangzhou delivers
his version of Coldplay’s ‘Yellow,’ Kerton
explains that “we get all sorts, singers,
saxophonists, even rappers sometimes.
I try to prevent it from turning into an
Adele or KTV night.” Proving his point,
I leave the relaxed and low-key joint to
the sounds of a particularly unique set:
a South American trio backed by ukulele
and guitar players and fronted by a guy
rapping about bongos.
Right off the bat, you get the feeling
you’ve stepped into an older crowd
than Rebel’s. Kerton runs this open mic
night too and explains that "it’s a night
that’s been going longer; around eight
months so far. The Brew also has a drum
kit, which encourages bands as opposed to just solo performers to get up
and ‘give it a go.’” Twenty-four-year-old
Chris from Foshan belts out his rendition of ‘Lemon Tree’ by Fool’s Garden.
Post-performance and flustered, he tells
me it’s one of the only songs he sings
in public. Attendees are friendly, and
the night begins to dissolve somewhat
when a hysterical Moroccan man called
Ibrahim decides to buy me drinks for the
rest of the night.
As Dylan once howled, “Her skirt it swayed
as a guitar played.” This is the epicenter
of Guangzhou’s open mic nights. With an
elevated stage, overhead balcony and a
well-equipped sound system, you feel as
though you’re watching a series of gigs.
Everyone who gets up usually does so
with a degree of accomplishment on an
instrument. Canadian Adam opens with
a rockier version of Cat Stevens’ ‘Wild
World.’ A regular there, Adam tells me that
“there are two categories at our open mic:
pros and greens. The pros know they are
pro and just want to play. The greens are a
bit trickier, because they are often nervous
and require more cajoling and support.
It’s a special thing to watch these greens
develop and improve.” Time for a rendition
of ‘It Isn’t Easy Being Green,’ anyone?

Bugging Out
Seeking shelter from the dreaded lurgy
By Trevor Marshallsea
to child, usually by an oftenunseen mode of transmission
known to doctors as “one kid
put his fingers in another kid’s
mouth,” and on it goes. Families
get sick, then it goes away for
a bit, then everyone gets sick
again.
As Tolstoy famously says at
the start of Anna Karenina, “All
happy families resemble one
another, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
After decades of debate, most
Tolstoy scholars now agree that
he wrote this at a time when
his whole family was down with
the sniffles, which his youngest,
Ivan, caught at a birthday party.
The Tolstoys had 13 kids, so they
surely knew feverish unhappiness in a sweeping, epic way.
W
hen you live in
Parentland, certain
phrases keep coming
round like an old friend, a guitar
riff or a mortgage bill.
They include: “His work with
the crayon is outstanding!”; “I’m
starting to think he might be
gifted”; “Who didn’t flush the
toilet?”; “Her friends are like
that, but she’s not like that”;
and, “Oh, our kids hardly ever
watch TV or eat candy.”
But there’s one that wins the
‘most common’ title hands
down: “There’s a bug going
round!”
I heard it at the bus stop this
morning. It strikes fear into the
hearts of mothers everywhere,
and even some fathers.
But after eight years as a dad,
I’ve reached a very strong realization about this parenting war
cry: it’s bollocks! As Lenin, Marx
and Mao are the three ‘bigs’ of
Communism, the three major
myths of parenthood are Santa,
the Tooth Fairy and The Bug
That’s Going Round.
Call me a grumpy old man who
gets annoyed at some pretty innocuous sets of words, but each
time I hear this phrase, in my
idyllic little parent-y head a fairy
42
vomits and dies.
If this column can achieve its
humble stated aim of effecting
social change for the betterment
of humankind, then let it be
done in this way: can everyone
stop saying that phrase, please?
It’s not that it’s untrue. There
really is a bug going round. But
the thing is, there’s always a bug
going round. It’s the same state
of constancy as the fact that –
depending on your side of the
marriage fence – there’s always
a major sporting event that
has to be watched, or there’s
always a sale at a women’s
clothing store. (I’ve yet to see
my wife enter a clothing store
where the boss is still sane and
prices haven’t been shamefully
reduced, although in urban
China, “50 percent UP!” would
probably attract the hordes just
as well.)
It sounds perverse, but “There’s
a bug going round” is one of
those funny little phrases that’s
evolved over time to make everyone feel better.
I’m married to a doctor, so I
should know: the first thing they
teach them is something called
the Hypercritical Oath, in which
they swear to “not let someone
leave my room worse off than
when they entered, except financially.” (OK, I’m paraphrasing.
But in the real Hippocratic Oath
they actually swear by Apollo, so
are we really going to take them
seriously?)
The second thing they teach
them is how to say the Tabgor,
which also sounds like ancient
Greek but is in fact the acronym
for 'there’s a bug going round.'
Imagine how an alternative
response might make a worried
parent feel upon taking their
little one to the physic: “You
stupid woman! How could you
possibly let your child get sick?
This is extraordinary!”
Or imagine seeing the headline:
“Chinese Ministry of Health
confirms there are NO bugs going round.” Actually, I think I did
once. But I digress.
The thing is, when you sign up
to have children, you sign up for
sickness, a years-long ride on
the Disease-Go-Round.
To be childlike is to be Jekylland-Hyde-like. They’re cute-asbuttons little blessings in one
instant; snot-coated, diseasecarrying balls of filth the next.
Illness gets in, noses get wiped
on sleeves and fingers. Germs
are then spread from child
But as we 21st-century types
all know, back then they had it
easy. True, there was no penicillin. But neither was there air
travel.
Residents of Parentland,
Expatville, China, nowadays get
sickness from several fronts.
There’s regular bug-going-round
season, from November 1 till
March 31. Then there’s southernbug-going-round season from
April 1 till September 30. That’s
when pesky sub-equatorial people, like us Australians and the
Zambians, go and visit relatives
in the long school break and
bring back all sorts of far-flung
bacteria to spread around and
confuse the natural order.
Of course, though it again
sounds perverse, getting sick
is good for kids. Best thing for
‘em! It helps them get resistance
to germs. More importantly,
they get sympathy and icecream. But overall, getting sick –
or just sick enough – at a young
age toughens us up. It’s always
nice, however, when your
Tabgor years are done. Oh yeah:
then they become teenagers.

You2.0 Competition Column
Using scales just doesn’t measure up
By Josh Phillips
When it comes to training and
fitness, as with everything in life,
what gets measured can get improved. If you cannot measure
it, there is no way to improve
it. So before embarking on any
fitness plan, know first beforehand what is it you are trying to
improve (what your goals are)
and then make sure you apply
the correct metric to ensure you
know if you are improving and
getting the results you want.
One obvious measurement – in
relation to building up muscle
– is taking an exercise like the
bench press, and then progressively getting stronger each
week over a set period of time.
That's one example of one element, but there are loads more.
Almost regardless of what
someone's more specific goals
are, however, the most obvious overall strategy is to start
With this test in hand at the
beginning, as you move through
your journey and tend to each
goal, each month you will now
have a metric that shows you
if you are heading in the right
direction or not. Simply jumping
on the scale has too many variables to be the main determinant
of success or not.
with an aim that relates to what
we all want to achieve: to look
good. By linking that to sports
and exercise, body fat and lean
muscle mass measurements are
the most obvious yardsticks for
improvement. Having this at
the start of your fitness regime
gives you an honest, open view
of where you stand and how
much unwanted waste really is
on your body.
Using a medical device that
scans with ultrasound and measures each layer of the body, the
Body Metrix gives a reading that
allows gym-goers to see how
much fat, how much muscle and
even what exposure to heart
disease they have. So besides
knowing if you are in real trouble before you even start, the
test gives you a range of results
that you can look at and decide
what you want to improve – be
it strip body fat, add lean muscle
or make the heart stronger.
So do yourself a favor: next time
you are in the gym, get yourself
tested and see where your body
is at, otherwise you are training
in the dark.

Gossip
This month is seeing a bevy
of openings in all areas of the
city and we have our pens
poised to review the newcomers. Chois Coffee is already
busy on the corner of Tianhe
Bei Lu and Longkou Xi Lu. A
quick peek shows they are
serving pastas, burgers and
ice cream. Rossi Creative Eats
has opened in PoPark Mall beside the East Railway Station,
as well as upscale food court
Food Republic on the bottom
floor.
In the Taojin area, For 5 on
Jianshe Wu Malu appears to
be going for the scattershot
approach, with Western,
Mexican and Korean dishes
on offer. Nearby, Hollywood
Bar and Diner has appeared,
apparently a tribute to all
things American. Next door
is the colorful Party Time bar
and across the street, CLK Bar
is all but complete.
Over on bustling Xingsheng
Lu, Vanda Club, White Sail
and Ta Li Pa Pa are ratcheting up to full service (all
reviewed in this issue),
while in Zhujiang Xincheng
the exciting new Butcher’s
Block Steakhouse has been
unveiled in the McCawley’s
building, grilling up some
quality meat (see p53).
Change is in the air at some
of our favorite places: Oggi,
La Marina and Wilber’s have
all recently been renovated,
and Element Fresh and Paris
Jie have new menus.
OFF THE VINE
PINOT NOIR BANNOCKBURN
T
his pinot noir is produced by
Felton Road winery, based in
New Zealand’s Central Otago
— the world’s southernmost winemaking region. Although quite a
small area, it quickly developed a
reputation for producing some of
the finest pinot noirs in the world.
Under the direction of winemaker
Blair Walter, the produce is fully organic; the grapes arrive at the winery as pure as possible. With the
inaugural vintage in 1997 winning
best new pinot noir, clearly Felton
Road is fully harnessing the unique
Otago terroir.
After the first sip, this
wine immediately demands attention. The
nose is firstly berry, but
a husky undertone of
mocha intimates what
is to come. Texturally
plush, it momentarily
seems heavy, before
finishing with a swish
of fine tannins. The
complexity and earthiness pique interest and
makes one realize this is not a
wine to be taken lightly, and
may be better enjoyed with
something to rival the richness: a plate of cheese, crackers and some dark chocolate
fully bring out the different
notes of this multifaceted and
delicious wine.

HOME COOKING
TO KILL YA
TEQUILA PRAWNS
by Lena Gidwani
A
hhh, tequila, Mexico's
miracle elixir. Margaritas,
sunrises or shots – no
matter how you drink it, tequila
is the stuff of indulgent legend.
Fermented from the sweet sap of
the succulent cactus-like blue agave plant, this mysterious potion
has the ability to both improve
and ruin lives, often in the same
24-hour period.
Yet the real power of tequila, especially for the seasoned cook, lies
not in what it does at the bar but
what it does in the kitchen. Like
salt, a splash of tequila enhances
flavor in food.
A dash of
tequila can
add subtle
firepower
to otherwise simple
concoctions,
as in the prawn
course envisioned by W Hotel
Guangzhou’s Director of Cuisine
Garth Welsh for their personalized cooking classes. Paired with
the sweetness and smokiness of
dry-cured Parma ham and addictive garlic mayonnaise, this zesty
dish makes for an attractive meal,
great for entertaining, sans the
hangover.
Ingredients (makes 24 prawns):
24 raw king prawns
6 slices of Parma ham, cut into 4
long strips
2 cloves of garlic, sliced
1 lemon, juice and zest
Sprig of chives, finely chopped
3 tbsps olive oil
1 tbsp tequila (any standard variety)
Pinch of chili flakes
Garlic mayonnaise, to serve
Method:
1) Wrap each prawn in a piece of
ham.
2) Heat olive oil in a pan with
sliced garlic, chives, chili flakes and
lemon zest to allow the flavors to
infuse.
3) Add the prawns
and cook for
two minutes.
4) Add the
tequila and
cook till evaporated. Remove
from heat when
brown and lightly crispy on the
outside.
5) Squeeze lemon juice over the
prawns. Serve hot with garlic mayonnaise and lemon.

COOKING DRIED FOODS INTO TRADITIONAL REMEDIES

ith wholesale markets
both big and small
densely ranged along
a 1,000-meter stretch, Yide Lu
in Haizhu District may be one of
the busiest streets in Guangzhou.
Bustling crowds of buyers and vendors haggle over a dazzling array of
commodities, as trolleys weave in
between the groups.
months leading up to Spring
Festival, it sees a surge in locals
flocking to the area, all of whom
eventually leave satisfied, with armfuls of goodies. Shopkeepers are
mostly native to the region and
eager to help even the most novice
home chef, making pronouncements with dramatic gestures and
booming voices.
Guangzhou’s biggest dried food
hub is also located here. In the
Dried food plays an important role
in Yue (Guangdong) culinary cul-
ture. It is mostly used for cooking
hot soup, which, according to classic
text I Ching, is considered beneficial
for absorbing nutrition. Chinese believe dried food contains the item’s
essence after dehydration, and is
thus more nutritious.
Dried abalone, winter worm grass,
shark fin, sea cucumber, bird’s nest
and sea horse are considered the
most respectable and precious gifts
when visiting a hospital patient.
Fat choi ho si, a dish cooked with
dried oyster and black moss,
is a must-order delicacy for a
Spring Festival dinner, since the
name sounds like ‘being rich’ in
Cantonese. Baked dried squid fill
the place of potato chips when
watching movies or TV shows.
Here, we get familiar with the
most widely used ingredients, as
well as the more unusual ones
and their health benefits.
The Popular
Donggu 冬菇 (Black Mushroom)
RMB30-40/jin
Donggu is widely used in Cantonese cuisine, usually paired with
steamed or braised chicken, duck
meat or pork chops. Rich in proteins and microelements like iron
and zinc, this fungus is thought to
play a role in combating colds, lowering cholesterol and preventing
liver cancer. Before cooking, soak
donggu in lukewarm water until
it turns soft. After being cooked,
the once hard mushroom becomes
chewy and juicy.
Yaozhu 瑶柱 (Scallop)
RMB60-80/jin
While now you can see it everywhere, yaozhu was reserved only
for royal tribute in ancient China.
The salty-smelling shellfish is full of
proteins and just a handful in a pot of
hot soup or congee can add both seasoning and nutrition. Steamed egg
with dried scallop is a popular dish
among kids in Guangdong province.
For those who want to lose weight,
yaozhu is an ideal option, since the
fat and calories contained is half as
much as those in ‘waxed’ meat.
Chenpi 陈皮 (Tangerine Peel)
RMB10/jin
Crowned as one of the three
Guangdong Treasures (the other
two are aged ginger and hay),
chenpi has a laudable reputation
in Chinese medical history. It helps
to expel inner humidity and relieve
a sore throat. That’s why chenpi is
not only a popular ingredient in
soup but also a valuable remedy. In
winter, a bowl of hot chicken stew
with chenpi not only warms you
but also enhances your immune
system.
Haochi 蚝豉 (Oyster)
RMB20-30/jin
Another must-eat if you’re looking for good luck, the Cantonese
for this foodstuff sounds like
‘booming’ (as in, business will be
booming if you chow down on
this delicacy). The traditional way
to cook haochi is to stew it with
roasted pork belly, black moss,
garlic, ginger and dried tangerine
peel. Containing a high amount
of proteins, haochi can be hard
to digest, so small amounts are
recommended.
The Exotic
Yusai 鱼鳃 (Fish Gills)
RMB6-13/jin
No, you didn’t mishear. Fish gills. After drying, the
once red and soft gills turn black and grey and
crisp – in fact, completely unrecognizable to the
untrained eye. More than most dried food goods,
yusai is for the most part only used medicinally
rather than as flavoring, especially in detoxifying
the body. In the past, traditional Chinese physicians often used it to relieve measles among kids,
and this remedy has been passed down from generation to generation in Chinese medical circles.
52
Haipanche 海盘车 (Starfish)
RMB15/jin
A light coral color when dried, this specialty
particularly draws the eye among the many
intriguing products on display. Used as a traditional Chinese medicine for centuries, soup
with dried starfish is said to calm the nerves
and stop diarrhea. Usage, however, should be
constrained to a small amount, since a starfish
will often still contain trace amounts of substances poisonous to humans, left over from
when it was still alive.
Huajiao 花胶 (Fish Maw)
RMB30-180/jin
Huajiao is noted for its abundance of collagen.
The price of it varies depending on the fish from
which it comes. Normally simmered with chicken
feet or pork ribs, huajiao is good for tendons and
kidneys. For ladies, it is also meant to enhance the
skin, thanks to its collagen, and those who plan to
have babies are recommended to consume it in
soup once or twice a month. The dried fish maw
is soaked in water over night before use; it turns
milky white and smooth as silk after being cooked.

THE BUTCHER’S BLOCK
A GOOD BLOODY STEAK
By Jane Kent
T
here is no shortage of new
and experimental dishes
to try in the culinary kaleidoscope that is Guangzhou.
However, the craving for something old school occasionally hits,
and every meat-eater has probably wistfully uttered the words, “I
just want a really good steak.”
Steakhouses in Guangzhou already serve up some delicious
meat, but with the arrival of
the Butcher’s Block, the stakes
have been upped. Owned and
operated by the Shenzhen-based
McCawley’s group, meat is taken
very seriously here — starting with
the butchering.
The owners have opened their
own meat factory, employing a
master butcher from New Zealand
and a small goods maker from
Germany. Starting with large
whole portions (such as a shoulder), all butchering and preparation is done in-house, from
smoking streaky bacon to making
sausages.
Once in the kitchen, the meat is
grilled in a specialized Josper charcoal oven. Imported from Spain,
the oven grills and roasts at high
operating temperatures, adding
the flavor of the embers and sealing in extra juiciness.
ness of the main event.
Start things off nicely with a delicate, crispy blue cheese and pear
salad (RMB68) and a generous
helping of grilled butcher’s sausages (RMB48). The homemade
factor is immediately evident: the
sausages are savory, chewy and
juicy, with just a little bit of golden
crispiness to the skin.
The design of the Butcher’s Block
is a throwback to the steakhouses
of yore: leather, dark wood and
some heavy-duty silverware on
the tables. It is simple, elegant and
doesn’t detract from the delicious-
Ordering steak is done in the traditional way: choose your cut, sauce
and how rare you want it cooked.
Sides are ordered separately. Seven
condiments are available, from
the typical black pepper or blue
cheese to the more unusual, like
chimichurri or caramelized ginger
barbecue. If you want to go for
gold, choose the beef tenderloin,
available in 200 or 400-ounce cuts
(RMB145/245). Paired with garlic
herb mashed potato (RMB48) and
grilled asparagus (RMB58), this is
an outstanding example of what
steak can taste like when handled
with expertise and care.
Cow isn’t the only thing on the
menu, however. Char-grilled
chicken breast on vegetable ragout
(RMB98) is plump and succulent,
every bite eliciting an unconscious
sigh of satisfaction. Even the grilled
sweet peppers in the ragout are
infused with a rich, unexpected
smokiness. There is something exceptional about the flavors imparted to all the meat and vegetables
which we can only attribute to the
Josper oven.
This was one of the most memorable meals we’ve had in Guangzhou
in quite a while. Even after our
stomachs were full, we continued
eating until every last bite was
gone – and then discovered that
the restaurant has rotating weekly
desserts. Would we like to try the
corn cake with caramel sauce and
apple chutney (RMB28) or some
chocolate espresso pot de crème
(RMB28)? Oh, alright then...

NEW RESTAURANT
THE VANDA CLUB
STICK TO THE DRINKS
by Tom Lee
A
scourge has taken hold of
Xingsheng Lu. The street,
which has generated so
much chatter and excitement
in recent months, has been
hit by a plague of poor quality
openings. True, none of them
are so bad you want to rip your
tongue from your mouth just to
spare your ravaged taste buds
further sacrilege, but surely you
have to be able to say more for
a restaurant than that.
Vanda Club epitomizes the
symptoms of the recent epidemic, though it is by no means
the most seriously ill patient.
Staff here are more cheerful
and helpful than elsewhere,
and the brand-new furnishings are simple but tasteful,
creating a comfortable, casual
air – though the Carlsberg and
Kronenberg merchandise is a
little excessive.
There are all the typical bottled beers (RMB35-50) and an
amusing list of special cocktails – fancy a Sexy Rain or a
Boy of Guangzhou? – plus the
classics (RMB55-60), mixed to
varying degrees of success.
Nevertheless, it’s a good spot
to chill in the evenings, taking
in the sounds of the bustling
street in contented ease.
Just be careful what you order
when it comes to food. Steaks,
salads, sandwiches, pizzas and
pastas are all available, generally
hovering around the RMB50-60
mark, but the kitchen is more at
ease with the Asian menu items
– after all, Vanda is merely a
renovated, Westernized incarnation of the site’s older self.
There’s a modicum of all
Southeast Asian cuisines on
offer, with a focus on Thai and
Vietnamese dishes. Handmade
beauties, the fish cakes (RMB38)
are served with a garlic and chili
sauce that adds piquancy to the
meaty mouthfuls. Also enjoyable
is the fried croaker (RMB58),
served plainly and not at all muddy in flavor, a common complaint
when it comes to Chinese fish.
a morsel of flesh is like panning
for gold. Like so much of Vanda,
the energy outstrips the reward.

Curries, however, are completely
lackluster. With a sauce that
could have come straight out
of a packet, the mango coconut
curry chicken (RMB68) raises the
standards of blandness to a level
rarely seen; it is truly a marvel
how the big chunks of mango
and basil leaves are utterly lost in
the insipid liquid. At least while
chewing on the sweet basil-fried
clams (or ‘scarabs’ as they appear on the menu, RMB48) you
can savor the herbs – once you

WHITE SAIL PORTUGUESE
NOT ALL PLAIN SAILING

R
ich in seafood, pork and
poultry, with straightforward preparations
that let flavors shine through,
Portuguese food, if cooked to
perfection, is simply divine.
However, if you are expecting all
this and more (perhaps a page
from Macau’s famed home-style
fare?), you might want to dock
at another port for now.
White Sail Portuguese
Restaurant is the youngest
member of the Xingsheng Lu
family. Its fancy, over-the-top
décor, Iberian-style blue-andwhite-tiled plaques and ostentatious chandeliers and armchairs scream opulence, yet it’s
clear that they are still learning
how to steer the ship.
Currently in its soft-opening
phase, the work-in-progress
54
menu is chock-full of Portuguese
lingo with substandard English
translations. Dishes are often
not available and staff, though
friendly, require assistance for
seemingly simple tasks.
That’s not to say they don’t
have some interesting fare. The
sapateira recheada (RMB168),
stuffed wild brown crab, is attractively presented with tostas,
seafood sauce and mayonnaise.
The filling, a mixture of crabmeat
and ground vegetables, is an acquired taste, giving off a pungent
aroma when dipped with the
tostas.
Ameijoa a bolhao pato (RMB58),
or braised clams in garlic, butter
and white wine, is delightful.
The meatiness of the clams is
tinged with lemon and parsley
and bursting with flavors.
Cataplana de marisco
(RMB260), a rich tomato-based
seafood broth with generous
portions of shrimp, lobster
and clams, is hearty and warming, though the oily layer on
top leaves a greasy aftertaste.
To wash it all down, there are
ice-cold bottles of Super Bock,
Portugal’s strong pale lager.
Ubiquitous national Portuguese
dish bacalhau (dried, salted
cod), as well as Franco de guia
(RMB58/98), a traditional favorite
of grilled chicken with salad and
potatoes, both seem to be unavailable for the moment, giving
us something to look forward to.
With a bit of time, White Sail
has great potential to be one
of the stronger players on the
street. Fingers crossed that they
ride out a choppy beginning
and start running a tight ship.

TA LI PA PA
RISING FROM THE SEA
By Will Wu
H
idden at the end of
Xingsheng Lu, Ta Li Pa Pa
can be hard to fish out
from the ever-denser population
of restaurants in the area. Yet for
lovers of fish and crustaceans, it
has every reason to stand tall.
The name of the establishment is inspired by D’Talipapa,
a seafood market in Boracay,
Philippines. Currently only open
from 6pm-2am, it is decked out
in tones of dark brown and
offers both patio seating out
front and, via a hallway, indoor
seating in the form of a loungelike space, with a grand floorto-ceiling glass wall on the left
and three tables on the right.
Diners are given an iPad to peruse and order on.
Even though the restaurant is
located in an expat hotspot, the
staff speaks little to no English.
This in itself isn’t criminal, but
they are also neither proactive
nor informed, perhaps because
half their job has been passed to
the iPads. In fact, it’s a toss-up
at times to know which is more
sentient, the Apple product or
the incompetent employees.
The food to some extent makes
up for the frustrating service. As
the name suggests, Ta Li Pa Pa
aims to bring an array of seafood
to foodies. Australian red claw
crayfish, translated as Australian
red lobster on the menu, is the
main attraction, cooked in four
possible ways: pan fried with
spicy salt, salt baked, cheese
baked and cooked in congee.
Tender and fresh, each is now
priced at RMB268, but this varies
by season.
Another Ta Li Pa Pa attraction
is the salted Shangdong Long
Island conch (RMB26/each), a
chewy, jelly-textured morsel.
Like several things on the
menu, salty means salty, perhaps a tad too much so.
Delicacies abound, but you’ll
have to book one day in
advance if you fancy trying
Dutch oysters (RMB78/each),
blue lobster sashimi (RMB380/
jin) or Alaskan king crab
(RMB1,200/jin).
Freshness is one of the key
selling points here, and on that
promise Ta Li Pa Pa does deliver. We just wish the staff didn’t
act like they’d been slapped in
the face with a wet fish.

T LOUNGE BAR AND TERRACE CAFE
THE COCKTAILS ABCS
By Tom Lee
I
f you’re looking for tea and
cake, you’ve come to the wrong
place. Not to be confused
with the Tianhe Hilton’s similarly
named cafe, T Lounge Bar has just
opened above Bosphorus Turkish
Restaurant on Jianshe Liu Malu.
Occupying the top two floors of
the building, it clearly has ambitions to be a pre-club cocktail spot.
Vodka, rum, gin, brandy, tequila
and whisky – the gang’s all here,
mixed into mojitos, margaritas
and Long Island iced teas, all for
RMB70. The choices are diverse
and largely stick to the classics,
with a couple of addendums. For
instance the T World, a mix of gin
and spearmint wine that’s breath
freshener in booze form, making
you feel like a model in a toothpaste commercial about to blast
an unsuspecting passerby with an
exhalation of ice crystals.
business signage.
Plants abound, both inside and
out. In the lounge, the effect is to
remind one slightly of a conservatory – one that is incongruously
appointed with kitschy chandeliers. Unlike places that adhere
to one style with strict precision,
this is a venue that mixes different
types of chairs and sofas together,
the overall effect being to make it
feel more welcoming.
If you opt instead for straight
spirits, be it scotch or bourbon
(RMB50-80), the staff (ever attentive and helpful) will offer to
serve it with cubes or a handcarved ice ball – a sure sign, if
ever there was one, that a place
has high-end aspirations.
Before you select your beverage,
however, you’ll need to choose
between the lounge and the
terrace. Both are cozy spaces to
relax, though the view from the
rooftop is certainly no stunner.
The prevailing sights are of rundown apartment blocks and neon
Artisan flair is heavily implied
in the manner of the bartender.
While drinks are certainly better
than the run-of-the-mill dross,
true cocktail connoisseurs will
find themselves merely satisfied,
not impressed.

iving in China, we often
forget that there are indeed
still places that you can
go where there is nobody else
around you; places seemingly
only captured on hit television
series such as Man vs. Wild by
handsome men who eat hordes
of bugs and basically anything
else they can kill with a nearby
rock. If you’re not in the great
outdoors, however, there are
some bland morsels that just
aren’t worthwhile eating.
I was sitting in a posh restaurant
with a large menu, faced with a
vast selection of delicacies that
anyone would enjoy. But who
wants to read about indulgence
in pork neck and curry beef? I
had originally arrived with the
intention of sampling some
scorpion, but while perusing my
options, my eye fell upon something better: snake and scorpion
soup. We have written about

From a Chinese medicinal standpoint, scorpions are used to
treat anything from strokes to
paralysis, as well as supposedly
enhancing the liver’s ability to
dispel toxins. The tiny arthropods
are also meant to aid in joint
mobility, so it may be no coincidence that the next day I had a
little extra spring in my step.

but I couldn’t possibly turn
down this opportunity to prove
my manliness, times two.
Bracing myself for a rollercoaster
of flavors and sensations, it was
a rather anti-climatic culinary
adventure. The broth tasted remarkably like chicken soup, but
with gristly exoskeletons instead
of noodles. The scorpions themselves are like nothing more
than salty water; insubstantial
mouthfuls that you wouldn’t order to pleasure your palate.
Biting into the abdomen causes
the scorpion to explode in your
mouth; you’ll have to break out
the toothpicks to remove tiny
claws from between your teeth.
An obligatory warning: the infamous tail is not safe to eat, so be
sure to pluck it off before chomping down.

THE ENGLISH WHISKY CO.
YES, ENGLISH WHISKY
By S.E. Smith
The English Whisky Co., based
in rural Norfolk, England, is the
first distillery to make single
malt in ol’ Albion in over a
century. Set up by local Andrew
Nelstrop and his father James in
2006, it’s a place totally devoid
of computers, screens, LEDs or
anything remotely “technical.”
As opposed to the ubiquitous
Johnnie Walker, Jameson and
Glenfiddich with their NASAsized hangers, the British business wants to maintain a much
more hands-on approach.
After just a few years, the
company can already boast a
catalogue of prestigious whisky
accolades, including IWS certification, a place in Buxton’s 101
Whiskies to Try Before You Die
and a Liquid Gold Award in Jim
Murray’s Whisky Bible. Clearly,
they’re doing something right.
Part of that may be that the
Nelstrops leave nature alone to
do its stuff as much as possible.
For instance, they don’t add artificial coloring to their whisky,
a common practice with many
well-known brands that has
arisen from the misleading images of executives knocking back
mahogany-colored liquor. Unless
it’s been left in the oak (or sometimes sherry) casks for a very long
time, whisky is hardly ever dark
brown when ready to bottle.
During my flying visit to the
headquarters, Nelstrop tells
me he doesn’t believe there’s
any one approach to drinking
whisky, no matter if "you wanna
add loads of coke, green tea,
whatever. It's total snobbery to
say you must drink it this way
or that way." For those that
want to savor the undiluted
taste, however, it’s best to avoid
mixers or ice; the latter will chill
the whisky, preventing the bouquet from being fully released.
One of English Whisky’s most
popular beverages for the more
finely tuned palate is the Peated
option from the Black Range.
It's whisky that contains barley
smoked over burning peat – that
brownish, muddy matter that’s

Wilber’s
Same familiar name, brand-new swagger. Having undergone a complete
renovation, the popular spot now boasts a bar on the first floor with
sleek new booths and a white marble wraparound bar. Bar consultant
Bo complements the snazzy décor with special concoctions, having
spruced up the house cocktail menu with sparkling twists. Up on the second level, the main dining area offers delicious five-course menus that
change regularly, so that regular patrons can sample fresh flavors each
visit. Arguably best of all, at the very top of the building sits the outdoor
veranda, accessorized with comfortable lounge couches on which to recline and take in the view.

Above Lounge Bar
Located on the fifth floor of the Party Pier’s Zone C, the Above Lounge
Bar is finally opening its doors this month. Mainly featuring champagne
and cocktails, this outdoor spot possesses a great view of the Pearl River.
Foreign DJs playing a variety of music genres provide the musical entertainment, while professional bartenders mix up thirst-quenching cocktails – and if that’s not enough, various themed parties take place on
different days. Combining a pleasant environment with an action-packed
schedule, Above Lounge Bar is making its bid to become the city’s next
expat hotspot.

Everyone’s favorite Western restaurant chain has prepared several brandnew dishes for the colder season ahead. Turkey is a favorite comfort
food, reminding us of Thanksgiving and Christmas. In China, this meat
is not seen in restaurants very often, and definitely not in salads. Turkey
breast salad (grilled American turkey breast with warm goat cheese,
roasted beets, pomegranate, orange, sliced onion and cranberry vinaigrette) is both filling and flavorful. Their executive chef was inspired by
a recent family trip to Korea to create the Korean BBQ steak salad. Using
grilled Australian steak with Korean bean and chili pastes, roasted spicy
winter bamboo and kimchi puree, the Asian flavors are highlighted by
the sour vingrette dressing. For a healthier choice, the warm spinach
salad (spinach, caramelized apples, blue cheese, candied walnuts and
bacon tossed with red wine vinaigrette) is a must-try. On the drinks
side, there are several warming beverages to fend off the chill, including
French onion soup, pu’er tea with pomelo marmalade and a maple latte.

Tianjin / 3+1 bedrooms minyuan
Minyuan 33 is a boutique hotel that
combines the storied legacy of Tianjin
with the finest modern conveniences. To
understand Minyuan 33’s history, we must
go back to the days when Tianjin was a
bustling port city situated at a nexus of
important water and rail trade routes. Strict
restrictions on European trade began to ease
after China suffered military setbacks, and in
the last century of the Qing Dynasty (16441911), zones were approved for foreign
trade.
