Timeless Cantonese Splendour at Spring Moon, Peninsula Hong Kong

Earlier this year in Beijing, I had the privilege of tasting a four-hand menu jointly presented by the head chefs of the Chinese restaurants at The Peninsula Beijing and The Peninsula Hong Kong. Chef Lam Yuk Ming‘s creations from the Hong Kong side left a deep impression on me. So on this trip to Hong Kong, I made sure to set aside time for a visit to Spring Moon.

Sunset, Vinyl and Fine Dining: An Evening at Peninsula’s Felix Restaurant

Felix, perched on the top floor of The Peninsula Hong Kong, is one of the city's most recognisable sky-high dining destinations. Conceived by the renowned designer Philippe Starck, the space is avant‑garde and deeply artistic, shedding the formality and heaviness often associated with traditional French dining. Its minimalist, crisp interiors are paired with floor‑to‑ceiling windows that command an unobstructed panorama of Victoria Harbour.

Slow Down in Hong Kong Over Peninsula’s Time-Honoured Afternoon Tea

Coming to Hong Kong always means slowing down, and the best way to unlock the city's gentle charm is undoubtedly a classic English afternoon tea at The Peninsula Hong Kong – a tradition that has endured for nearly a century. Since the hotel opened in 1928, its afternoon tea has become far more than a simple refreshment; it is a piece of the city's collective memory, preserving an elegance that has never faded over the decades.

A Hidden Waterside Sanctuary at The Peninsula Hong Kong

Tucked away within the century-old, elegant luxury of The Peninsula Hong Kong lies a hidden sanctuary of unparalleled atmosphere and intimacy. Stepping past the lobby's vintage grandeur and vibrant energy, take the elevator directly to the eighth floor, where a private, Roman-style heated pool terrace unfolds before you – a serene waterside haven. This is The Pool, the hotel's understated yet stunning poolside restaurant, a cherished luxurious retreat for hotel guests and seasoned travellers alike.

Harbourfront Timeless Luxury at The Peninsula Hong Kong

The Kylin Suite at The Peninsula Hong Kong occupies a high floor and commands a corner position with exceptional views, offering both a sense of privacy and sweeping openness. Stepping through the door, an elegant entrance foyer with a separate guest powder room sets a composed and generous tone.

A Timeless Ode to The Peninsula Hong Kong: Where East Meets West Across a Century

As the car wound through the bustling streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, the urban clamour and crowds slowly receded behind. When that building – a sublime fusion of Italian Renaissance elegance and Baroque flourishes – stood quietly before my eyes, I knew that a gentle and magnificent chapter of time was about to unfold. Born in 1928, The Peninsula Hong Kong has never been merely a top-tier hotel; it is a living urban monument, having silently gathered nearly a century of the city's changing tides and historical glory.

Textural Counterpoint: A Seasonal Cantonese Interlude at the Four Seasons

In the height of Guangzhou‘s summer, nothing beats gathering a few friends and heading to an elegant restaurant for a relaxed meal. This time I made a special trip to Yu Yue Heen, the Chinese restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou, and had the good fortune to be among the first to taste their new summer menu. With high expectations, I embarked on a seasonal culinary journey.

HOTEL

Not just a hotel stay, but a slow reacquaintance with a city’s design language

Two years have passed since I last walked through the doors of New World Guangzhou Hotel. This visit happened to be the third stop on the New World Hotels & Resorts Greater Bay Area tour, and it coincided with Lingnan's most lingering season – summer still clinging on, the heat not quite ready to fade, with a lazy, full-bodied mood drifting through the air. This time, I came not to rush, but to step back into this space filled with Guangzhou's stories, and to take a proper look at all the design details I had hurried past two years ago.

HOTEL

The first five-star hotel in Taishan, and perhaps the first to make heritage its true centrepiece

Before coming to Taishan, my understanding of the term "hometown of overseas Chinese" remained purely literal. It was not until I set foot on this land that I truly understood why it is called "China's number one hometown of overseas Chinese", and why people speak of "two Taishans – one at home and one abroad."

Not until I stirred tea‑leaf dip into hotpot did I understand what “local” really means

This time at New World Qingyuan Hotel, I had no intention of rushing to any sightseeing spots. I simply wanted to follow the resort's own rhythm, immerse myself in the local way of life, and spend two or three days feeling both fulfilled and completely at ease. The hotel itself is a healing mountain retreat – natural wood finishes paired with hillside views, and rooms with comfortable balconies where just staying in feels wonderfully relaxing. The real surprise, however, was the set of carefully curated activities that you can slowly join in, each offering a genuine sense of participation.
