esde que se est por aterrizar en el

impresionante Aeropuerto Internacional de Hong Kong, inaugurado en
1998 en la isla de Lantau, el visitante sin importar cuntas veces haya
visitado esta ciudad, reconoce que Hong Kong es
diferente del resto de China. Esto se comprueba una
vez en tierra, mientras se aprecia su modernidad y
majestuosos rascacielos junto a una de las bahas
comerciales ms importantes del mundo; un lugar
que tiene su propio idioma (gran dominio del ingls)
e inclusive una moneda local (el dlar hongkons),
cuyos habitantes se muestran sumamente abiertos
hacia las culturas extranjeras. En resumen, se trata
de una ciudad moderna, forjada sobre las bases de
una civilizacin antigua y tradiciones milenarias.
Hong Kong es un lugar que realmente vale la pena
descubrir, disfrutar de sus festivales, de la alegora de
luces y sonidos que cada noche hacen de la baha un
lugar mgico; un destino lo mismo apto para la prctica del senderismo por la montaa, como para asistir a
un espectculo, visitar un templo o explorar un pueblo
amurallado. Se trata de una ciudad fascinante y adictiva.
La idea de visitar esta isla invita a descubrir
el lazo que une a oriente con occidente, se trata
de la puerta de entrada que permite disfrutar la
cultura china desde la visin occidental; por ello,
antes de su llegada a este enigmtico destino, es
recomendable establecer un programa que le permita identificar los lugares a conocer ya que esto
har que disfrute de oportunidades nicas.
ver since the instant one is about

to land at the amazing Hong Kong
International Airport, inaugurated
in 1998 in Lantau Island, no matter how many times he might have
visited the city, the visitor reckons that Hong
Kong is different from the rest of China. This is
demonstrated once on land while appreciating
its modernity and majestic skyscrapers next to
one of the foremost trading ports in the world; a
place with its own language (with great mastery
of English) and even with its own local currency
(the Hong Kong dollar), being its inhabitants extremely open to foreign cultures. In a nutshell,
this is a modern city, forged over the pillars of an
ancient civilization and millennial traditions.
Hong Kong is a place worthy of discovery,
by enjoying its festivities, for the allegory of its
lights and sounds that, every night, transform
the bay into a magic place; a destiny adequate
for hiking the same as for attending a show, visiting a temple or exploring the walled town. This
is an enchanting and addictive city.
The idea of visiting this island invites one to
discover the tether that links the East with the
West; this is the opening gate that allows to relish the Chinese culture from the occidental view;
that is why, before arriving at this unfathomable
destination, it is advisable that one schedules a
program to allow you pinpoint the places to visit,
allowing thus to enjoy unique opportunities.

Verano, un juego de texturas
rendez-vous
sta temporada de verano predominan los

materiales frescos que combinan con texturas que acentan looks inspirados en un
clima clido, pero preparado para las sorpresivas lluvias que lo acompaan. Tanto
las sandalias multi strap como las de tipo romano, son
la mejor opcin durante el da y la ciertas ocasiones por
la noche; adicionalmente, la temporada se presta a incorporar cmodo calzado deportivo al oficce outfit para
darle un giro sport por dems atractivo.
Las tonalidades que van de blanco puro a marfil
imperan, as como la paleta de azules que parten de
los claros turquesa y van hasta el lila e ndigo, inclusive llegando a los prpura; tambin hacen juego
colores como el verde y el siempre oportuno negro.
Los sacos y trajes, tanto para hombre como para
mujer juegan un papel importante con su habitual
elegancia, adems de otras piezas como chalecos y
caftanes que se integran a los conjuntos verstiles
de este verano impredecible y espontneo.
resh materials are prevailing this

season, mixed with textures that
enhance the looks inspired in warm
weather; though ready to the sudden
accompanying rains. Multi-strap
and Roman sandals are the best options during
the daytime and sometimes in the nighttime.
Moreover, this season is suitable to wear office
outfit sports footwear, in an extremely attractive sportive turn.
Hues that go from pure white to ivory are
predominant; the same as the blue color pallet
starting from the clear turquoise up to the lilac
and indigo, even purple which match with colors like green and the ever suitable black.
Jackets and suits, for men and women, play a
paramount role in their own usual elegance; besides other garments such as vests and caftans
that integrate versatile outfits in this unpredictable and spontaneous summertime.

Guardians of time
n 1943 la familia Panerai dio el nombre Mare

Nostrum al crongrafo creado para los oficiales
de cubierta de la Armada Real Italiana en honor
al Mar Mediterrneo. Mare Nostrum (Nuestro
mar), fue escenario de las victorias de las flotas
de la Armada Real Italiana durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
La nueva versin es la reproduccin que ms se aproxima al
modelo original, la diferencia ms marcada con la pieza del pasado est en el material usado para la caja, el cual -como bien
lo indica su nombre-, est hecho de titanio. En sus 52mm de
dimetro se aprecia el acabado cepillado que tiene el titanio
alrededor de la caja.
Las funciones del crongrafo se controlan con dos pulsadores clsicos, asimismo de titanio satinado, y las lecturas
se indican en el segundero central y en una esfera secundaria
que incorpora un contador de minutos que se sita a las 3h.
El segundero continuo gira en una esfera secundaria situada
a las 9h, la esfera, protegida por un cristal zafiro con tratamiento antireflejante, presenta dos niveles y en lugar del
verde oscuro del modelo original, es de un sofisticado color
marrn tabaco a juego con la correa de cuero marrn.
Incorpora un movimiento con manufactura de cuerda manual: el calibre OP XXV desarrollado sobre la base del Minerva
13-22; tiene 12 lneas de dimetro y aade un volante que
efecta 18.000 vibraciones por hora, al igual que el movimiento Angelus del modelo original. Acabado a mano, con detalles
tcnicos de primer nivel, como la rueda de pilares y el regulador de cuello de cisne. Los puentes estn hechos de
Maillechort, una aleacin de nquel y plata con la que es particularmente difcil trabajar, e incluyen un sofisticado acabado
Ctes de Genve. El Mare Nostrum Titanio 52mm es hermtico hasta tres atmsferas con una profundidad de unos 30
metros. Su edicin est limitada a 150 piezas.
time machine
n 1943, the family Panerai named Mare

Nostrum the deck officers chronograph of
the Regia Marina, the Italian Royal Navy, in
order to honor the Mediterranean Sea, Mare
Nostrum, (Our Sea), scenario of the Italian
Royal Navy fleets II World War victories. This new
version is the closest reproduction to the original
model; being its most outstanding difference the
material used for the case, as stated in its name, it
is made of titanium. In its 52 mm diameter one can
appreciate the brushed titanium finishing around
the box.
The chronographer functions are operated through
two counter buttons also made of satin titanium, with
central dial second hand readings and a minute counter in a subdial set at the 3 oclock level. The sweep
hand turns over a subdial set at the 9 oclock level; the
two-level display is protected by an anti-reflective
treatment crystal sapphire and, instead of the original dark green model it is sophisticated tobacco brown
matching the brown leather wristband.
It has a hand-wound mechanical movement, OP
XXV caliber based on the Minerva 13-22; 12 lignes
diameter; 18,000 alternations/hour balance wheel
like the Angelus movement of the original model;
all handcrafted, in first rate technical details such
as a column wheel and a swans neck regulator; its
bridges are made of Maillechort, a nickel and silver
alloy specially difficult to work out, which include
an elegant Ctes de Genve finishing. Mare Nostrum Titanio 52mm is water-resistant to 3 bars (a
depth of about 30 meters). Its edition is limited to
150 pieces.

La firma del mar

Signature of the Sea
a casa de alta escritura Caran dAche ha

creado un homenaje al mundo nutico, as
como a sus primeros portaminas de 1947;
se trata del nuevo modelo Ecridor Yacht
Club. Esta creacin, que representa el alma
del mar, es un objeto dedicado a aquellos amantes de
las embarcaciones y los deportes acuticos.
Con un cuerpo hexagonal, los maestros artesanos crearon una pieza emblemtica en la que se
aprecia el cdigo internacional de seales martimas, para lo cual emplearon tcnicas que hacen
gala de su talento y grabados de alta precisin.
Las reminiscencias de un diseo tradicional,
complementan el aire moderno que sopla las velas
de esta singular pieza de escritura, producida en
los talleres artesanales de la casa, en Ginebra. Ecridor Yatch Club es un ejemplo del gran trabajo que
se ha logrado con toda la coleccin Ecridor, misma
que cuenta con cuatro instrumentos de escritura:
pluma fuente, roller, bolgrafo y lapicero.
Presentados en un estuche de lujo, la pluma y el
roller se cierran con capuchn, mientras que el bolgrafo y el portaminas llevan pulsador, con un clip
que es flexible. Su lapicero mecnico de alta precisin asegura comodidad excepcional y el bolgrafo utiliza el famoso cartucho gigante Goliat, que
tiene una capacidad de escritura hasta para 600
hojas (A4) continuas, libre de derrame, lo cual
equivale a poder escribir una lnea de 8 km de
largo. El bao de paladio le da un distinguido
color blanco-plateado y la hace resistente a la
corrosin, siendo el complemento perfecto
para el delicado grabado guilloch.
En uno de sus seis lados se aprecia el
nombre Caran dAche, grabado en 10 letras
del cdigo de seales martimas. Como un
smbolo emocional y como un compaero
fiel, la Ecridor Yatch Club iza las velas y se
dispone a asumir nuevos retos.

aran dAche, the Maison de Haute

Ecriture, has paid homage to the
nautical world and to its first 1947
mechanical pencil, as well: the new
Ecridor Yacht Club, Soul of the Sea;
an object dedicated for vessels and aquatic
sports lovers.
With a hexagonal body, the craftsmen created
an emblematic piece in which the International
Code of Signals is appreciated; techniques that
flaunted their talent, and high precision engravings, were used in order to accomplish it.
Reminiscences of a traditional design complete the modern wind blowing over the sails of this
unique piece of writing, produced in the houses
shops, in Geneva. Ecridor Yacht Club is an example
of the great work that has been accomplished with
all of the Ecridor collection, having four writing instruments: a fountain pen, a roller pen, a ballpoint
pen and a mechanical pencil.
Presented in a luxurious case, the fountain
pen and the roller pen have click-in caps; while
the ballpoint pen and the mechanical pencil
have push buttons and flexible clips. Its high
precision mechanical pencil guarantees an exceptional comfort, and its ballpoint pen uses
the famous Goliath cartridge, having a capacity to write up to 600 continuous sheets of paper (A4), leak-free, tantamount to being able to
write one 8 km long line. The palladium coating
gives the set a distinguished white-silvery color
and makes it corrosion resistant; being a perfect
complement for the delicate guilloch engraving.
On one of the 6 sides, the name Caran dAche
is appreciated, engraved in 10 letters of the International Code of Signals. As an emotive symbol and as a faithful companion, the Ecridor
Yatch Club hoists the sails and is readying itself
for new challenges.

here are people who say that Hong Kong,

its skyscrapers glimmer towards the sky
and illuminate the arrival of visitors,
giving them away an amazing kaleidoscope as well.
In order to enter this enigmatic country, one
must understand the cultural heritage of its antecessors, the ones who inhabited the territory; it
forged the resilience of its modern inhabitants, who
have been able to adapt themselves and overcome
the dramatic changes the history of this little island
located in front of the South China Seahas undergone; the days preceding the transformation period as an enclave of the British Crown, the same as
the days that passed at the transfer of sovereignty
over the great Asian dragon.

With 1,070 km 2 of a mostly mountainous surface, Hong Kong is small in terms of dimensions;
however its position among the 10 top trade regions in the world, being one of the Asian-Pacific
region financial centers and having the second
stock exchange after Tokyos (companies quoted
in it are valued at about US$2.97 trillion); just to
point out some characteristics, places it among
the greatest economies known as the Asian
giants.
Linked with the above, thanks to the fact that
its territory conserves its natural attractions, it
has become a protected area; and together with its
cosmopolitan, multicultural citys modernity, it has
become one of the destinations which has more and
more tourists every year. Having a little more than a
6 million population, it receives more than 60 million visitors on a yearly basis.

metropolis, modern and well planned, over the foundations of a millennial civilization, marvelous things happen. This assertion becomes an actuality when one visits this city; it is a crossroads of cultures, where all kinds
of beliefs and thoughts live together, and each one is
respected. In spite of ceasing to be a British colony ever
since 1997, so as to be transferred to China as Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China, it has its own currency (the Hong Kong
dollar); despite its common language being English,
due to the fact that Hong Kong is the hub of a great part
of trade and finances in China, the tongue that gives its
identity is Cantonese, distinguishing it thus from the
rest of the Chinese population. One ends up witnessing to the civility of this city when realizes that he can

The region known as The Island, Hong Kong

strictly speaking, the territory taken over by the
English in 1840, is the most modern zone of this
Special Administrative Region, where most of
the international corporations converge. In the
north, over Victoria Harbour, the most famous
buildings forming the Hong Kong landmark are
located. On its own, it is a strip stretching from
the northern coast of the Hong Kong Island, towards Yau Tong in the east and up to Tsuen Wan
along the Kowloon Peninsula.
The strip has 112 buildings over 180m
height, the tallest being the International Commerce Centre, 484 height over the sea level; followed by the International Finance Centre, 416
m tall; then, the Central Plaza, currently the
third place among the highest buildings, which,
for a decade (1992 2003) flaunted the title of
the tallest building of the city. Curiously, in
this city, modernity and taste for skyscrapers also influenced religious architecture; as a
sample it has the tallest church in the world, the
Sky City Church.

Kong Park is the fusion of
natural and urban park.
Among the paramount sites in this region there

is the Hong Kong Park; a haven of peace and tranquility; it has an aviary with over 80 species of birds;
one of the biggest botanical gardens in southeast
Asia, comprising all kinds of plants; an artificial
lake where more than 100 species of dragon-flies
have been classified; and the Hong Kong Museum of
Art, the same as sports fields. Usually, white collar
workers from the great international offices attend
to it in order to have a break, and even to meditate,
thanks to the 8 hectares of nature located in the
central part of the financial zone, amid the bright
skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island, offering thus a
peculiar and attractive contrast in the middle of
vegetation and asphalt.

services about 12000 passengers a day (with a schedule from 7:00 a.m. to 12 p.m., in intervals between 10
and 15 minutes) for more than 7 million tourists. This
is the most touristic spot of the region since it plays
the role of a natural scenic overlook from where the
city could be appreciated in all its splendor. Due to the
great number of visitors, on this 552 m height mount,
the Peak Tower and Peak Galleria, two commercial and
leisure centers, are located.Additionally, from the Sky
Terrace, a scenic terrace, the best panoramic views of
the region may be obtained. The starting point to go
up the Victoria Peak is Lower Peak station, located at
the Garden Road; easy to reach by walking from the
MTR Central subway station. This visit, one of the best
experiences that one might have, allows one to appreciate the main Hong Kongese skyline buildings.

A visit to the bustling markets is a must; that

where the activity increases in the evening when
people leave work and seize the opportunity to go
shopping and have some food. In the Sheung Wan
district, in Hong Kong Island, there are very interesting and quaint places, such as the bird market,
the sea products market, the herbal medicines market and the antiques market.
The Western Market, located at Sheung Wan,
the citys center of activity, is a Victorian building covering an entire block; it opened for business in 1844. It was formed by two separate
sections: north and south; though, later on, in
1906, the remarkable red-brick building was
constructed. In 1991, after some restorations, it
opened anew as a little souvenir shops commercial center and, currently, it is one of the scarce
old edifices, in the middle of the tall buildings,
thus becoming a tourist attraction.

Located south of the Island, between Aberdeen

and Ap Lei Chau, the isle, Aberdeen Harbour is a
zone of fishermen who live aboard floating houses, giving it that quaint image postcard like
superbly contrasting between a modern view,
from the towering skyscrapers surrounding it,
and the traditional Chinese style.
At daybreak and sundown, Aberdeen offers the best milieu to go for a boat ride over
its peaceful waters; however, sauntering next
to the sea is also a nice experience. In the summertime, a boat ride aboard the Dukling is recommended; this is a traditional fishing vessel
built in 1950, restored in 1985, and currently a
tourist attraction.
Here in the bay it is the worlds largest floating restaurant and one of the most requested,
it is the Jumbo Kingdom, with capacity for over
2,000 people.

ong Kong has a great history; so

much that nowadays, this destination inhabited by approximately 7
million people, welcomes more than
60 million visitors a year.
And, as its history can witness to, the people of Hong Kong was forced to come out to the
world; such action opened their mind by making
them receptive and tolerant to cultures native
from other latitudes. Nevertheless, even if these
are open minded people, abreast of new trends,
they keep faithful to their roots, proud of their
origins; and, owing to that, they are tolerant and
show a deep respect of other peoples customs.
On its own, Hong Kong, as Special Administrative Region of the Peoples Republic of China, is one
of the hubs connecting Asia to the world; it keeps
its own identity, recognized by the Chinas government, where its people have Hong Kong nationality;
they have their own currency; the same as a democratic government and a legal and political system
with its own mechanisms. However, neither it has
its own army nor its own foreign affairs ministry;
both these functions, ever since 1997, are carried
out by the Peoples Republic of China.

Hong Kong - Mxico
Hong Kong - Mxico
Presently, the relation between the two countries is

undergoing an exciting time; it is growing greatly, as
Mexico has a higher liaison with China and Asia, being
Hong Kong kind of a bridge where both Western and
Eastern languages are spoken; an outstanding bond
for anyone trying to understand the way economies
in the region work. The inhabitant of Hong Kong has
information: from what is happening in his environment to what the fashionable trends in Asia are; one
can appreciate these things in urban and even street
events. Here is where Mexico may find an entrance to
introduce its cultural expressions to the Asian world.
This Hong Kong-Mexico liaison opens the
possibility to develop regional relations where
Mexico may be seen as a hub, a platform not only
to enter the Asian market towards Latin America, but also towards the US and Canada.
Plenty of majestic spaces and places; Hong Kong is
a unique experience to visit. It is the crucible of Asian
cultures, who comes to this city will find many things
that are not seen anywhere else on the planet, because
it is a crucible that brings in companies and cultural
and artistic expressions from all around the world.

Hong Kong has been growing upwards until becoming

the skyscrapers city; skyscrapers have defined about
90% of its territory to be kept intact and, because of
this, it is a nice place to stay. The fact of being 7 million
people, organized to live in a very narrow strip of land,
makes them very creative; they have terrific communication and infrastructure services. Also, they have
very great knowledge so as to develop their offers into
neighboring regions and, at the same time, they are pioneers in engineering and infrastructure development.
An example of this is the Hong Kong International Airport, one of the most far-reaching
airports around the world, located practically on
half of the sea; a technology, engineering and
architecture jewel, highly eco-friendly designed,
which has been ranked number one on airfreight
handling worldwide.
There is no doubt, Hong Kong is a window to the
world and an entrance gate to Asia; its development
has bonded it with 150 cities around the world, besides being reckoned as the most open economy
worldwide by the Index of Economic Freedom, the
annual index and ranking created by The Heritage
Foundation; because of its very transparent businesses operation model and its very simple tax system. It also ranks first in export investments worldwide and as a foremost art dealing market.
Having been a British colony for over 150
years, in addition to the own qualities of its population, give its citizens efficiency and respect
for the law.

histrico. Testigo silente de mltiples
sucesos y cambios en esa nacin, hoy
es el referente obligado de una ciudad
portuaria que trasciende su propia leyenda.
Celebridades como Muhammad Ali y miembros
de la realeza se han hospedado en sus habitaciones,
incluso stas han servido como cuartel, refugio y escenario para grandes personajes que han marcado la
historia del planeta.
Su entrada, se ha hecho famosa en el mundo
porque siempre est vestida con los Rolls Royce,
que se estacionan de tal modo que la puerta luce
como la gran dama que es un collar de lujo motorizado que funge incluso como insignia del hotel.
Y la movilidad no se limita a tierra o al puerto, pues
tambin cuenta con un helipuerto en lo alto de las
torres que rodean al edificio principal.
La sensacin de lujo que reina en The Pen, como
le llaman los locales, es soberana, con un servicio
tan grato que los huspedes se sienten ms como
en la casa de sus sueos que en un hotel. Cuenta con
spa, 300 habitaciones, restaurantes de alta cocina y
bares; amplios e impresionantes salones, una hermosa piscina cubierta, gimnasio, servicio de limosina o auto con chofer y helicpteros, as como todas
las comodidades de lujo.
pened in 1928, The Peninsula, more

than a hotel, is sensed as a historic
space. Silent witness of many events
and changes in that nation, nowadays,
she is a must-see reference of a port

Celebrities such as Muhammad Ali, and royalty members have stayed in her rooms, rooms
that have even served as barracks, shelter and
stage for great personages who have made history on the planet.
Her worldwide famous entrance always
dresses in Rolls Royce cars, parked such a way
that the gate shows them off as the great lady
she is like a precious motorcar necklace, and
serve even as the emblem for the hotel. Mobility
is not confined to land or seaport, because there
is a heliport on top of the towers surrounding
the main building.
The sense of grandeur reigning in The Pen,
as the natives call her, is sovereign; with service
so pleasurable that the guests feel more like
staying in their house of dreams than in a hotel.
It also has a spa, 300 rooms; haute cuisine restaurants and bars; ample and amazing lounges;

l espectacular Noga, de la lnea Nauta

Air, combina gran volumen interior con
espacios arquitectnicos creados para
garantizar la armona con el exterior: una
obra maestra del diseo italiano.
Lneas elegantes y una espaciosa disposicin es
con lo que Noga, la ms reciente creacin de Cantiere
delle Marche (CdM), enamora a primera vista; pero en
los detalles es posible encontrar mucho ms, una de las
caractersticas de este astillero italiano, especialista en
barcos exploradores de lujo.
La lnea Nauta Air cuenta con el diseo de Mario
Pedol y Massimo Gino de Nauta Yatchs mentes
creativas detrs del yate ms grande del mundo:
Azzam. Las primeras dos embarcaciones de Nauta Air,
YOLO y Noga, son obras de arte. Los elementos clave
de la lnea estn presentes en ambas: limpias lneas
exteriores y una personalidad elegante y poderosa.
Bajo esta idea, se planea que el ocano sea el gran
protagonista y pueda ser disfrutado al mximo desde
todos los puntos de la embarcacin. Sentimos que el
atractivo nico de la vida a bordo de un yate est en la
oportunidad que te da de sumergirte completamente
en el ambiente natural a tu alrededor. Cuando nos
sentamos a disear la lnea Nauta Air, siempre tuvimos
una prioridad en mente: llevar el exterior al interior,
seala Mario Pedol. Para lograr esto, usamos amplias
reas de vidrio y creamos espacios arquitectnicos
donde el exterior pudiera comunicarse en armona con
el exterior. Pensando en el yate como un solo espacio
continuo, creamos un nuevo concepto de vida a bordo,
especialmente en las cubiertas principal y superior.
he spectacular Noga, from the Nauta Air

line, fuses ample indoors volume with
architectonic spaces, created in order
to assure harmony with the outdoors: a
masterpiece of Italian design.
Sleek lines, spacious layout, that is the way that
Noga, the most recent Cantiere delle Marche's (CdM)
creation, has you enamor of her at first sight; though
lying within the details is possible to find out much
more; being this one of the features of this Italian shipyard company, a specialist in luxury exploring vessels.
Nauta Air line has a Mario Pedol and Massimo
Ginos design, from Nauta Yachts, the creative
minds behind the largest ship in the world: Azzam.
The first two Nauta Airs craft, YOLO and Noga, are
masterpieces. The lines key elements are present
in both: smart exterior lines and a mighty and dashing personality.
Under this idea, the ocean will take the starring
role and be utterly enjoyed from every point of the
vessel, as planned. We feel that the unique aspect of
life aboard a yacht lies in the opportunity she gives
you to immerge yourself totally in the natural environment around you. When we sat down to design
the Nauta Air we always kept one priority in mind:
that of bringing the outside world in, said Mario
Pedol, who added, In order to do this, we used wide
areas of glass and created architectural spaces where
the indoors could communicate in harmony with the
outdoors. By thinking of the yacht as one continuous
space, we created a new concept of on board living,
especially on the main and upper decks.
Los amantes de este tipo de embarcaciones y

las opciones personalizables encontrarn en esta
lnea la respuesta a sus demandas. Con la nueva
lnea Nauta Air, CdM ha mostrado que ponemos gran
atencin al mercado. Nos dimos cuenta que un gran
nmero de propietarios buscaba yates eficientes en
el plano energtico con gran volumen interior, algo
completamente personalizable y con construccin
confiable en acero y aluminio. Sin embargo, no les
encantaba la lnea robusta de los modelos Darwin Class.
De este anlisis surgi una lnea diseada para cubrir
sus necesidades. Est diseada para los navegantes
experimentados que quieren la seguridad y comodidad
de un yate de desplazamiento grande de casco de
metal sin perder la flexibilidad y la facilidad de uso,
afirma Vasco Buonpensiere, director de ventas de CdM.
A Noga hay que descubrirla por fuera y por dentro.
Su exterior corresponde al perfil robusto de la lnea
Nauta Air, pero por dentro, es sorprendentemente
armoniosa. La primera impresin es lo amplia que se
siente. Los diseadores pusieron especial atencin en
los exteriores, pero no a costa del interior. Tanto las
reas sociales como las privadas ofrecen una sensacin
de espacio: todo un lujo. Un yate que te invita a salir
y disfrutar del ambiente, con lugares pensados
para tomar el sol, relajarse, comer o simplemente
navegar placenteramente. Tiene una amplia cabina,
rea de solrium en la cubierta principal al frente y
espectacular flybridge de 72 metros cuadrados. Es
precisamente ste el punto que separa al Nauta Air 90
de su competencia. Cuenta con una capota dura para
dar sombra, y si se desea, con toldos desmontables.
Dos mesas acompaadas por un bar con parrilla,
refrigerador, cava y mquina de hielos: atributos que
prometen una increble experiencia a bordo. El rea
dedicada a la preparacin de los alimentos es espaciosa
y bien equipada, en acero inoxidable y con acabado en
laca color blanco.

Lovers of this type of craft bespoke options

will find in this line a response to their demands.
Thanks to the new Nauta Air, CdM has yet again
shown that we are a shipyard that pays close attention to the market. We noticed that a large group of
owners was looking for [] an energy efficient boat
that has larger interior volumes, something fully
customizable and with sturdy metal construction
in steel and aluminum. However they did not enjoy the Darwin Class models sturdy line. From this
analysis, a brand new line came up which was designed to meet the needs of experienced yachtsmen who want the security and comfort of a large
metal-hulled displacement yacht without losing
the flexibility and the ease of use, says Vasco Buonpensiere, Sales and Marketing Director of CdM.
Noga must be discovered outdoors and indoors. Her exterior fits the sturdy profile of the
Nauta Air line; but inside, she is astonishingly
harmonious. The first impression comes from
how ample she feels. Designers paid special attention to the outdoors, but without sacrificing
the indoors. The social areas, the same as the private ones, offer a sensation of space, of a great
luxury. She is a yacht that invites you to come
out and relish the environment, with places
planned to sunbathe, to relax, to eat or simply
to navigate pleasantly. She has a wide cockpit, a
solarium area in the fore deck and a spectacular
72 square meter flybridge which is the precise
spot that distinguishes Nauta Air 90 from her
competitors. It has a hard top to provide shade,
and if wanted, removable awnings. Two tables
along with a bar counter and grill, a refrigerator,
a cave, and an icemaker, features promising an
incredible experience aboard. The galley area is
ample and well equipped, made of stainless steel
and finished in white lacquer.

En el interior de Noga es notoria la influencia de su

dueo, un arquitecto, que se encarg personalmente
de la decoracin. El interior es amplio, tanto en las reas
para descansar, que incluye un sof de la casa italiana
Minotti, como aquellas para comer. Paredes de piel y nogal
encierran un espacio elegante y limpio. Y sin duda, amarn
la posibilidad de personalizacin, tanto en interiores como
en exteriores, una de las razones por la cual fue una de las
marcas ms vendidas en Mxico en 2014.
En lo que respecta a las especificaciones tcnicas, la

Para maximizar el alcance del barco, lo recomendable es

C18 Acert de seis cilindros a 1200 rpm, se convierte en

Nuestro orgullo es crear yates bien elaborados,
diseados para dar a sus propietarios increbles
experiencias a bordo, asegura Buonpensiere sobre su
firma, cuya representacin en Mxico corre a cargo de
Zarpo Yachts. El proyecto ha sido un xito inmediato.
Varias unidades han sido vendidas antes del lanzamiento
del primer yate de la serie.
Con espacios exteriores espectaculares, diseo
impecable y tecnologa de punta, no podemos sino augurar
al Nauta Air 90 un viaje sin contratiempos.
Inside the Noga, the owners influence is outstanding, being an architect who took charge personally for
her dcor; she has ample indoors, her resting areas include a sofa from the Italian house Minotti, the same
as ample mess rooms. Leather and walnut color walls
comprise a neat and trim space. No doubt, they will love
the customization option, indoors the same as outdoors, being this one of the reasons why she was one of
the bestselling brands in Mexico, in 2014.
Regarding the technical specifications, she is a
first rate vessel, from her sturdy aluminum built to
the electric stabilizer fins and the remote controlled
valves. At cruise speed, over 13 knots, Nauta Air 90
showed good sound isolation: noise is not greater
than 60dBA in the room and main cabin. In order to
maximize her reach, it is recommended traveling at
10 knots, but at 9, the Nauta Air 90 really stands out.
At that speed, thanks to her 6 cylinder, 1200 rpm,
Caterpillar C18 Acert, she becomes a mileage eating
machine: up until 4000 nautical miles giving it an extraordinary transatlantic capacity.
We pride ourselves on expert craftsmanship, designed to give her owners incredible onboard experiences, asserts Buonpensiere about his firm being its
representation in Mexico under the charge of Zarpo
Yachts. The project has been an immediate success.
Several yachts have been sold even before the launch of
the first yacht, he adds.
With spectacular exteriors, impeccable design and
state of the art technology, we cannot do otherwise
than forecast a hassle-free journey for the Nauta Air 90.

aspecto exterior hasta sus mnimos detalles interiores,
como los sensores de las puertas para sus perros.
Una imbatible calidad form la base del briefing:
el Lady Christine exuda sofisticacin desde cada ngulo. Se satisfizo, de manera espectacular, el deseo
del propietario de crear un plano dividido en niveles, con el fin de incorporar un saln privado arriba
de la cabina del timonel. Se baj el puente un nivel
y se elev la parte frontal de la cubierta para crear
una cubierta entera del propietario, incluyendo a la
sala de observacin.
ady Christine was built for hugely experienced owners who were intrinsically
involved in every step of the project.
Their vital contributions are apparent at
every level, from the highly distinctive
exterior looks to minor interior details such as door
sensors for their dogs.
Unbeatable quality formed the basis of the overall briefing and Lady Christine exudes sophistication from every angle. The owners desire to create
a split-level layout in order to incorporate a private
saln above the wheelhouse has been met in spectacular fashion. The bridge has been moved down a
level and the forward part of the deck raised a level
to create a complete owners deck, including the observation lounge.
Las secciones frontales de tres de las cubiertas inferiores fueron elevadas; dndole seis cubiertas: asoleadero, incluyendo el saln de descanso Key West; la
cubierta elevada del propietario (incluye dormitorio y
rea privada de popa); cubierta principal elevada, con
la cabina del timonel; cubierta principal, con sala de
descanso, comedor y bar; cubierta baja elevada, con
la cabina del capitn, cuartos de la tripulacin, oficina
del barco y cocina; cubierta elevada del tanque (comedor y dormitorios de la tripulacin y la sala de cine); y
una cubierta extensible del tanque.
Dentro de este magnfico yate, a cada rea se

The main deck lounge is a monument to style,

with the most comfortable of circular conversation areas. Sofas are set at the optimum distance
for people chatting and fit exactly within the oval
shape of the carpet and ceiling. Gorgeous cherry
panels with maple inlay are interspersed with six
glass columns containing carved glass figurines in
a niche.
The recessed dome ceiling is one of the largest ever made for a superyacht, and features an
endless ebony and maple wave pattern.
Creating such a dome also meant pushing
the limits of the airco ducting, proving once
again the need for expert workmanship in every
discipline.
La sala de descanso de la cubierta principal es un monumento al estilo con las ms cmodas reas de conversacin. Los sofs estn colocados a ptima distancia para

paneles de cerezas con hojas de maple incrustadas se
entremezclan en seis columnas de vidrio que contienen

El techo abovedado, con un domo empotrado, es

El saln es un espacio que goza de una magnfica vista, en un entorno de estilo Riva inconfundible. Una armoniosa combinacin de madera, cuero
y acero inoxidable pulido, destaca por el sistema de
iluminacin LED. Rayas de palo de rosa que combinan
con el tono Ice White para crear contrastes impresionantes, generan un clsico refinado que refuerza
su elegancia por la luz natural que brilla a travs del
acristalamiento continuo a lo largo de los lados y el
parabrisas delantero.
Soluciones de diseo y tecnologa atestiguan
esta evolucin. La zona de popa ha sido rediseada
para darle dinamismo al yate, cuyo espejo puede
sumergirse por complejo, ofreciendo una plataforma para ingresar al mar y volver a bordo; el solario
destaca su carcter deportivo y ofrece comodidad
adicional; el puesto de mando exterior se ha movido
a la parte central del barco y tiene un tamao muy
limitado, dejando as espacio para un gran sof en el
arco. Vale la pena descubrir los detalles que elevan el
nivel de comodidad tanto para invitados como para
la tripulacin, en cada rea creada especialmente
para un yate que trasciende su herencia.
El gran acristalamiento del casco continua, con un
diseo agresivo que se extiende a travs del yate, casi
como una flecha, mientras la placa de acero inoxidable
con el logo Riva, justo en el medio de los cristales, es el
sello en esta obra maestra.O
Her hall is a space that enjoys a superb view,

in an unmistakable Riva style milieu. A harmonious combination of wood, leather and polished
stainless steel stands out by her LED lighting system. Streaks of rosewood, combined with an Ice
White hue to create striking contrasts, generate
a refined classic, reinforcing her elegance with
the natural light shining through the continuous
glazed window pane, over the sides and the frontal windshield.
Design and technology solutions witness to
this evolution. Her aft zone has been redesigned
to give her zest; her transom can be entirely submerged, thus giving her a platform to enter the
sea and come back on board; her sundeck is remarkable for its sportiveness and offers extra
comfort; her external cockpit has been moved
towards the central part of the boat and has limited size, leaving space enough for a big sofa under the arch. It is worthy to discover the details
that upgrade the comfort fo both, the guests and
the crew, in each area specially created for a yacht
transcending its heritage.
The great hulls see-through glazing continues
with an aggressive design throughout the yacht,
almost like an arrow; while the stainless steel plate
with the logo Riva, just in the middle of the crystals,
is the seal of this master piece.O

20 aos de tradicin
A 20 year old tradition
ot fleet
a Copa Aarn Senz vio su origen en

1995 cuando Aarn El Chato Senz
tuvo la idea de impulsar la formacin
de una flota de barcos pequeos entre
los jvenes en Acapulco, para lo cual
se invit a veleristas de la Clase Optimist de todo
Mxico a velear en mar y, as, hacer las regatas
internacionales ms competitivas. El Chato Senz,
miembro del Saln de la Fama del Comit Olmpico,
se dedic a promover la vela en Mxico a todos
los niveles, poniendo principal nfasis en la Clase
Optimist y en especial a los principiantes, pues los
consideraba el futuro de la vela.
he Copa Aarn Senz (CAS) was born in

1995 when Aarn el Chato Senz came
up with the idea of fostering the formation of a dinghy fleet among the youngsters in Acapulco; in order to accomplish
this, from all over Mexico, Optimist Class sailors were
invited to go sea sailing, thus creating the most competitive international regattas. El Chato Senz, a
member of the Olympic Committee Hall of Fame, committed himself to promoting the sailing practice in
Mexico for all levels; emphasizing the Optimist Class,
specifically, beginners, whom he regarded as the future of sailing, though.
Es as como desde hace dos dcadas, la Copa

Aarn Senz, realizada ao tras ao, en el Club de
Yates de Acapulco, ha tenido el honor de recibir a
veleristas de todo el pas y figurar como un smbolo
en el desarrollo del deporte nutico nacional.
Eduardo Senz, presidente del Comit
Organizador de la Copa Aarn Senz, seala: Aunque
histricamente la vela estaba concentrada en Valle de
Bravo, muy cerca del Valle de la Ciudad de Mxico y en
el Lago de Chapala, mi pap, el Chato Senz, tena la
intencin de promover esta actividad en el puerto de
Acapulco, sobre todo entre los nios. Es por eso que
hace 20 aos inicia la primera regata en Acapulco, en
la que participaron unos 17 nios. Desde entonces, le
dio otra arista a la prctica de vela en el Club de Yates
de Acapulco, el cual siempre ha llevado a cabo regatas,
pero ms bien a nivel ocenico.
Uno de los retos que tenemos para el 2016,
es proyectar la copa a escala internacional y traer
veleristas destacados en todas las categoras, con el
objetivo de promover an ms el deporte de vela.
Por su parte, Jimena Senz, hija del fundador de la
Copa Aarn Senz y miembro del Comit Organizador,
coment: Se trata de una regata que naci con la idea
de fomentar una flota de vela ligera en el estado de
Guerrero, pero tambin para que los nios que veleaban
en Valle de Bravo, pudieran entrenar en el mar, que es
el elemento donde se llevaban a cabo las competencias
internacionales. Actualmente esta copa es una de las
cinco regatas que se hacen como parte del Circuito
Nacional de Vela; adems de promover el fortalecimiento
de semilleros, como Valle de Bravo o Veracruz, en Puerto
Aventura, y hacer una gran flota de Optimist de barcos
pequeos, donde todos los veleristas convivan y
conozcan quines son sus competidores nacionales y se
preparen para los campeonatos internacionales. Regatas
como sta le dan un giro importante a los veleristas en
su lugar de origen.

This is why, ever since about one score ago, the Copa
Aarn Senz has been celebrated year in year out over
the Acapulco Yacht Club, having had the honor of welcoming dinghy sailors from all over the country while
becoming an emblem for the national nautical sport.
Eduardo Senz, CAS Organizing Committee
President, points out, even though, historically,
the sailing practice gathered in Valle de Bravo, very
close to the Mexico City valley, and at the Chapala
Lake; my father, el Chato Senz, intended to promote this activity at the Acapulco Bay, especially
for children. This is why, twenty years ago, the first
Acapulco regatta began, where more or less 17 kids
participated. Ever since that time, he gave another
angle to sailing in the Acapulco Yacht Club, organization which has always celebrated regattas,
rather at oceanic level, though.
One of our 2016 challenges is to scale the Cup up
to an international level, by bringing outstanding
dinghy sailors in all categories, aiming at promoting even more the sailing sport.
Furthermore, Jimena Senz, CAS founders
daughter and an Organizing Committees member, commented, originally meant to foster a
fleet of dinghy sailboats, in the State of Guerrero,
this was a regatta intended also for the children
who used to sail at Valle de Bravo, so as they were
able to get trained at sea; element in which the
international regattas were contested. Nowadays, this cup is one of the five National Sailing
Circuit regattas. Even more: it promotes seeds
strengthening at, for example, Valle de Bravo or
Veracruz in Puerto Aventura, and the creation of
a big Optimist dinghy boatsfleet, where all
sailors get together, meet their domestic competitors and prepare for international contests.
Regattas like this give a critical turning point to
dinghy sailors in their native locations.

they had not coincided as a couple, Kuchar and
Woods were members of the American team
representing the US in the Ryder Cup, 2010 and
2012, both tournaments in which the European
team was crowned a champion.
The expectation to see Tiger Woods competing
for the first time in Mexico is huge, even if he has
won no official tournament since 2013, when he
conquered the Farmers Insurance Open title.
Sin embargo, las credenciales de Tiger como golfista profesional son incuestionables: 79 victorias en
el PGA Tour, (14 en torneos Major), lo que significa el
segundo mejor registro de todos los tiempos, despus
del legendario Jack Nicklaus; adicionalmente, acumula 12 triunfos internacionales y 14 conquistas de otra
ndole, como el Mundial de Golf junto a Mark OMeara.
Los aficionados que acudan a la Bridgestone
Americas Golf se encontrarn con un Woods menos
agresivo que en el pasado, respecto a su juego. Su
notable cambio de swing y los largos periodos que
pasa sin estar en alta competencia, han convertido
al ex nmero uno del mundo, en un golfista ms calculador que en el pasado, donde su osada y espectacularidad le encumbraron por aos en lo ms alto

Nevertheless, Tigers credentials as golf player are

unquestionable: 79 victories in the PGA Tour (14 in major tournaments), which means he has the second best
record of all times, after the legendary Jack Nicklaus;
additionally, he has got 12 international triumphs
and 14 different conquests, such as the Gold World
Championship together with Mark OMeara.
Fans attending the Bridgestone Americas
Golf tournament will find a much less aggressive
Woods than in the past, in terms of his game. His
remarkable change of swing and the long periods
out of the high ranking competitions have made
the former number one in the world into a more
calculating golf player than in the past, where his

a historia del licor en China es tan milenaria como su propia cultura, si bien existe
evidencia de que durante la dinasta Shang
(1766-1046 a.C.) se consuman aguardientes y vino de arroz, algunos antroplogos,
basndose en los detallados datos incluidos en los Shi Ji
o registros histricos de Sima Qian, la crnica china por
excelencia, establecen que sus orgenes preceden tres
milenios en el tiempo. Sin embargo, el origen del baijiu
o huangjiu (licor elaborado a partir de granos de arroz,
sorgo o trigo), bebida nacional China, se le atribuye a la
dinasta Han, 200 a.C.
La profesin de productor de esta bebida 100% artesanal pues se hace a mano, debido a lo intensivo
de la formacin que reciben, es considerada a nivel de
artista. El baijiu requiere de repetidas destilaciones y
un dedicado proceso de aejamiento, en garrafas de cermica, de entre dos y cinco aos dependiendo la casa
productora; aunque hay licores con 50 aos de aejamiento, como es el caso del Maotai de Guizhou. De ah
que se trate de una bebida altamente cotizada, llegando a valer 1,500 dlares la botella, inclusive se ha llegado a superar el milln de dlares, como es el caso de la
cosecha de 1980, de Maotai, el cual fue subastado en el
2011 por un milln 300,000 dlares.
he history of liquor in China is as millennial as her own culture. Even if there

exists evidence that during the Shang
dynasty (1766-1046 a. C.) aguardientes
and rice wine were consumed, some
anthropologists based on the detailed data from the
Chinese chronicle Shi Ji or Sima Qian, the historical
records par excellence, establishes its origins over
the past three millennia. Nevertheless, the origin of
baijiu o huangjiu (liquor made from rice, sorghum
or wheat), the national Chinese beverage, is attributed to the Han dynasty, 200 b. C.
The producers profession of this 100% artisanal because it is made by handdrink, due to
the intensive training they receive is regarded at
the level of an artist. The baijiu requires reiterated distillations and a committed aging process
inside ceramic decanters, two through five years,
depending on the manufacturing house; even
though there are 50-year-aging liquors, such as
the Maotai from Guizhou. This is why it is a highly
sought-after beverage, priced from $1,500.00 US
dollars to over one million dollars a bottle, as it was
the case of the 1980 harvest Maotari, auctioned in
2011 for $1,300,000.00 US dollars.
Un informe del International Wine & Spirits Group, seala que el crecimiento anual en ventas de esta bebida, desde 2003 ha presentado un incremento de 20% y estima una
produccin de 17,000 millones de litros de baijiu para 2016.
Si bien existe una zona limitada de provincias que producen baijiu, siendo las ms famosas Guizhou, Sichuan,
Hunan y Shanxi y Shaoxing; los mejores y ms cotizados
destilados provienen de la cuenca donde se hermanan el ro
Chishui y el Yangts, el ms grande afluente de China. Asimismo, se estima que existen cerca de 14,000 destileras
de diversos tamaos. Tan slo en la Colina Jiusheng en se
aprecian 6,000 bodegas.
Cultural roots
Arraigo cultural
Traditionally, the baijiu is poured at room temperature or

warmed in a ceramic jar before serving it into a little bowl.
Notwithstanding there exist more than 16 variations of
this beverage, there are three basic classifications to guide
the taster: based on the aroma: soft, strong or fresh; on the
savor: smoked, acid or fruity; and on alcoholic degrees:
from 40 to 60GL; being the strong aroma the most appreciated and the fresh and fruity the least valued by the Chinese, even though that, for the Westerners palate, they
are the most attractive. Among the most famous baijiu
brands are the Moti, Wlingy, lzhu lo jio, Gjng
gng ji, Jinnnchn and Fnji, to name just a few.
This is not a drink easy to appreciate; the Chinese
themselves are used to saying that one has lived too
long in their country when one knows how to savor a
good baijiu. Regarding that, Derek Sandhaus, author of
Baiju: The Essential Guide to Chinese Spirits, comments
that 300 tries (tastes) are needed before being able to
appreciate this beverage.
The baijiu has scaled to its ultimate position as a drink
to be given away in order to honor the person receiving it;
this is why it is used as a present in official visits for mandataries all around the
world; it has become a symbol
of power and a
luxury item savored in special
occasions.
Tradicionalmente, el baijiu se sirve a temperatura ambiente

o se calienta en una jarrita de cermica, antes de servirse en
una pequea vasija; aunque existen ms de 16 variaciones
de esta bebida, son tres clasificaciones bsicas por las que
se debe guiar quien la degusta. Por su aroma: suave, fuerte
o fresco; sabor: ahumado, cido o afrutado, y graduacin alcohlica, que va de los 40 a los 60GL. El de aroma fuerte es
el ms apreciado y los de aroma fresco y sabor afrutado los
menos valorados por los chinos, aunque para el paladar occidental resultan de los ms atractivos. Entre las marcas ms
famosas de baijiu estn el Moti, Wlingy, lzhu lo jio,
Gjng gng ji, Jinnnchn y Fnji, por destacar algunos.
No se trata de un trago sencillo de valorar, los mismos chinos suelen decir que se ha vivido demasiado
tiempo en ese pas cuando se sabe disfrutar de un buen
baijiu. Al respecto, Derek Sandhaus, autor de Baiju: The
Essential Guide to Chinese Spirits, comenta que se requiere de al menos de 300 intentos (degustaciones), antes de
apreciar esta bebida.
El baijiu ha escalado hasta su mxima posicin, como
una una bebida que se regala para honrar a quien la recibe, por eso sirve de obsequio en las visitas oficiales para
los mandatarios de todo el mundo; se ha convertido
en sinnimo de poder y un artculo de lujo que

An International Wine & Spirits Group report

points out that the yearly sales growth of this beverage has increased by 20%, and estimates a 17,000

Even if there is a limited zone of provinces producing baijiu, the most famous are Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, Shanxi and Shaoxing; the best and
most valued distilled beverages come from the Chishui and Yangts basin, the greatest tributary in

14,000 distilleries of different sizes; for just in Jiusheng Hill 6,000 stores can be seen.

incansable en sus enormes Sinfonas y siempre pula
aun aquello en lo que ya haba logrado la perfeccin.
Su padre, un comerciante judo, debi administrar
un corto ingreso para poder darle una educacin completa. A los cuatro aos, mostr su talento musical al
tocar el acorden de odo, con lo que dej encantados
a los adultos, repitiendo las marchas militares que
haba escuchado en el campo militar de Iglau. Cuando
ingres al Conservatorio de Viena en 1875, era ya un

n the world of the arts, many men and

women were born before their time. Music is a prime example where many composers were not appreciated and whose
personality was rejected by them, who
made them victims as outcasts. Hence the story
of Gustav Mahler, notable conductor especially
in the world of opera and a composer of formidable talent. It has been said that the music of
Mahler is a nut hard de crack, his Symphonies
are truly long and it is not possible to penetrate
in the profound psychological meaning of his
vocal legacy. Once this barrier is torn down we
can admire horizons of expression and spirituality that rate him among the great musical minds of all time. He was born in Kalischt,
Bohemia on july 7, 1860 and died in Vienna on
may 18, 1911. His life led him to experiment all
the emotions that man can desire but he was
never satisfied with the results of his efforts.
His ambition was monumental, his Industry
was equally so, but in the eyes of the world he
became a famous conductor and composer who
strived for perfection all his life.
He was the son of a struggling Jewish tradesman who stretched the budget to give him an
excellent education. At four, the boy displayed
musical talent when he played by ear on the accordion the soldiers marches he heard issuing
from the nearby garrison of Iglau. By the time
he entered the conservatory of Vienna in 1875m
he was already a fine pianist and a string person,
who walked in his sleep and went into sleep-like
trances during his waking hours.

Admiraba sin reservas a su maestro, Antn Bruckner,

y a Richard Wagner, lo que lo llev a participar en un concurso que ofreca un atractivo premio econmico. El resultado fue Das Klagende Lied (La Cancin del Lamento),
c t t co tem
re tom do de c e to de
los hermanos Grimm. La obra fue un fracaso rotundo.
Esto hizo que Mahler se dedicara a la direccin
orquestal como profesin que le permitiera vivir. Es
cierto que el artista deseaba ser compositor, pero el
destino o las circunstancias lo llev a convertirse en
el director orquestal de pera ms famoso de Europa.
En realidad, subi a la cima ms alta de su poca: fue
director de la Opera Imperial de Viena. Su reinado se extendi de 1897 a 1907, para muchos, la etapa ms brillante en
Viena en la historia de su pera. Mahler tena el talento suficiente para ofrecer algo nuevo a la vista y al odo, adems
de una energa inagotable que empleaba en lograr sus propsitos. Los descendientes de personas que vivieron esos
tiempos recuerdan los comentarios: no se acostumbraba
anunciar al director en el programa, solo cuando el teln se
levantaba se conoca al responsable de la funcin. En medio de un ambiente excitado y tenso, los jvenes estiraban
la cabeza para saber quin era el director en turno. Cuando
Mahler apareca, lo haca perfectamente rasurado, dirigindose al podio como un dardo va hacia el blanco, de inmedi to royect e e
ico domi io di ci de de cribir. Los otros directores eran los barbudos Hans Richter,
Bruno Walter y Franz Schalk. Fue Mahler quien coloc el
pdium sobre una elevacin destacando as al director,
permitindole un control mayor sobre la orquesta. Y cuando Mahler diriga, la chispa demoniaca que de l emanaba
pareca apoderarse del auditorio. Pese a esto, despus de
10 aos difciles, tras una campaa de murmuraciones y
calumnias sin precedente en el mundo musical viens, fue
eliminado de su puesto. Como compositor continu siendo una figura indiscutida hasta su prematura muerte.

His admiration for his teacher, Bruckner and

for Wagner, and the offer of a cash prize induced
him to attempt a Cantata Das Klagende Lied (The
Song of Woe). Its darkest themes were based of
the writing of the Grimm brothers. It failed and
he turned to conducting as a means of livelihood.
Though he wanted above all to write music, he
became one of the worlds finest opera conductors,
and was promoted even higher. Until he reached
the summit of a conductors ambition, the directorship of of the Imperial Opera in Vienna.
His post was extended from 1897 to 1907,
the most brilliant in Vienna in the history of
its opera according to many.
He had sufficient talent to offer something
new in sight and sound and also a tremendous energy level that he applied to obtain all
his goals.
Later generations of those who heard him
remember: au performances the conductor for
the evening was no announced in advance.
This was done once the curtain went up.
The audience as tense and excited, especially
the young music lovers.
When Mahler stepped on the podium, perfectly shaven, he was like and arrow headed
for its goal.
This he transmitted to the audience. Other
conductors were Hans Richer, Bruno Walter
and Franz Schalk, all with fully grown beards.
Despite this, after ten difficult years
and campaign of gossip and slander, unheard of in the musical world, he was fired
from his position. As a composer he continued being an all important figure until his
untimely death.

Nevertheless his conducting was always

admired everywhere. His mannerisms belong
to his first years and he matured, so did his behavior. If he admired a singer, he expressed his
fascination with a glance could mean support,
a question, inspiration If in a foul mood, his baton went up in the air like a knife. If the audience, due to ignorance, applauded at the wrong
moment instead of waiting for the orchestral
epilogue, he would show his anger. Mahlers
musical tempi provoked controversy for many.,
The vitality in the Overture to Don Giovanni was
positively orgiastic, while the Overture to Die
Meistersinger seemed interminable. In general
he kept the orchestral volume lower that what
was the common practice. His appointment in
the Imperial Opera coincided with the death of
Johannes Brahms, a composer who always expressed his admiration for Him. When he joined
tis Institution he converted to Catholicism after
reaffirming this in his Second Symphony called
Resurrection. The majority of his biographers
feel that it was a sincere move but others called
an act of convenience.
His debut at the Opera was with a triumphant performance of Lohengrin in mayo of
1887. From this moment on his forceful personality was felt. One of the innovations was to extinguish the lights of the hall before rising the
curtain, something today is considered normal
and important for a performance. He made the
singers sign a declaration where they promised
not to hire a personal claque. It was fashionable at the time for that a claque or group of
paid to applaud that received free tickets to the
performances and sat in the gallery. Mahler had
the guts to abolish this bad habit. Even today,
most theatres continue this bad practice. The
composer also acted against those who arrive
once the performance had begun and they were
no longer admitted during the performance.
When the Emperor was informed of the edicts of
Mahler, he said with a smile:Isnt the theatre a
place where people should have fun?.

Mahler demanded punctuality from his singers,

obtained a orchestral level never heard before and took
the company to a professional level. In almost all the
performances he took charge of the productions and
did so with his typical energy as applying the same
to the orchestra and singers. The Wagner operas were
performed uncut. He offered unforgettable performances fresh in their musicality, something they had
lost due to stale repetitions. Two examples were Le
Nozze di Figaro and Cos fan Tutte. He gave a modern
touch to Der Freischtz with a special novelty in some
scenes. Mahler had a identification with slavish music
and allowed a new generation so share this. They saw
Tchaikovsks Yevgeny Onegin, Iolanta, and The Queen
of Spades. He also staged Rubinsteins The Demon and
Dalibor by Smetana. He did not ignore the contemporary composers. In 1898 he included Leoncavallos La
Boheme in the repertory and after a rift with the author
during a rehearsal he did not conduct the opera which
shares the same name with Puccini before 1903.
The disputes between Mahler and Hans Richter
were famous. Richter was a famous Wagner conductor but when Mahler rose to the top administrative
position, he announced publicly that in the future
only he would conduct the operas of Wagner, Hans
Richter resigned.
Mahler did not like beautiful voices, he preferred
strong, metallic and powerful, voices that could cover the complete demands of emotions, with expressivity. Many career bloomed when the singer could
combine vocal beauty with artistic sense, the Mahler
cooperated without reserves. A notable example was
Selna Kurz, who under Mahler sang the premieres in
Vienna of La Boheme and Madama Butterfly by Puccini. But, the most popular of all his singers was Leo
Slezak, a gigantic tenor from Brnn, a master locksmith with a vocal extension which went from the
most delicate pianissimo a the strongest fortissimo
with dramatic intensity. His repertory included from
Mozart to Meyerbeer and Wagner.

Slezak became one of the most famous artists and also an insufferable prankster. His peculiar sense of humor made working with him
hell on earth. The cast could make mistakes and
were insecure working with him. The most distinguished collaborator of Mahler was Bruno
Walter, a conductor he met in Hamburg. Walter
handled the French and Italian repertoires and
with time became one of the greatest conductors
in the world.
After five years working on the vocal and dramatic aspects of the productions, he decided to
concentrate on new and novel productions in the
German repertory. The first big hit was Tristan
und Isolde by Wagner, next came Fidelio by
Beethoven,Don Giovanni, Le Nozze di Figaro by
Mozart, Das Rheingold by Wagner, Glucks Iphigenia in Aulis,but he also tasted failure with Tosca, Tiefland (DAlbert) and Pelleas et Melisande.
This was simply not his music. He had many fans
in Vienna but also a large gruop of enemies. He
was nor a refined man which made him unpopular. The society of Vienna never has favored
tough men even a genius like Mahler. He was either admired or detested. He could be tyrannical
although fickle and forgiving and even tolerant.
Today he would be called manic depressive. The
only thing he loved about Viena were the cafs.
When his opinion did not agree with his advisors, he would simply cancel the project, even if
the premiere of an opera had been announced.
In 1903, two days before the finishing touches
for Louise (Gustave Charpentier) the composer
demanded a modern production. Mahler said yes
but didnt mean it and postponed the new premiere. Hugo Wolf, had been granted free tickets
for the rest of his life died in an asylum a bit before the success of his opera Der Corregidor. Wolf
was told that the opera would take place but afterwards postponed by decision of Mahler. Wolf
went literally mad.

Mahler was worried of the financial security of his family and only wish to make enough
money to keep them well. He married Alma Maria Schlindler in 1902 y they had two daughters.
Alma was one of the most attractive women in
the European intellectual society and had many
relationships before and after Mahler. We can
mention Walter Gropius, Alexander Zemlinsky,
Gustav Klimt, painter Oskar Kokoschka and
Franz Werfel, to mention but a few. Alma had an
enslaved existence trying to give happiness to
a person that could not feel like she did. But.......
this is another story that we reserve for a distant future.
When Gustav was a child, somebody asked him:
What would you like to be when you grow up? and
he responded A Martyr. He never thought that
this phrase would become a reality, that took place
when awful attacks and envies managed to dim his
personality. In the summer of 1907 he felt he would
not stand for this any longer and would not tolerate the revolution of the mediocre. He presented his
resignation and it was accepted despite the efforts
of the Austrian intellectuals to change decision.
His last performance was with Fidelio on October
of 1907. He gathered his diplomas and honors y put
them in his desk leaving instructions to give them
to his successor. He sailed to America, to New York
to conduct Wagner at the Metropolitan and perform
the Philharmonic. He worked endless hours with
the orchestra but was treated poorly by the audience and the American press.
Since 1907 he had been having heart problems
and it is believed that he had a coronary thrombosis during a rehearsal of Lohengrin. He got worse
in New York and had to return to Vienna. In may of
1911, with rain and windy weather at his side, the
man who was fired-as he used to say- was buried in
Hietzing, with an enormous attendance. In a letter
of farewell to his collaborators at the Opera, Mahler
wrote: I have dreamt of giving you something complete and rounded out, but I leave you something
that is not perfect and unfinished that very much
resembles humanity.

Mahlers death mask
(Carl Moll).
Gustav Mahler compuso canciones bellsimas,

realiz ciclos vocales de profunda inspiracin: El
Kinderotenlier (Canciones por la muerte de los nios) y Las Canciones de un Viajero son favoritos de
las mezzo-sopranos y los bartonos. Pero se le conoce
mejor por sus 10 Sinfonas. La ltima inconclusa,
aunque editada recientemente en forma brillante
por el msico Deryck Cooke. El legado sinfnico de
Mahler da fe de su tormento interior, de su inquietud
espiritual...y de su sorprendente capacidad para emplear los instrumentos de la orquesta. Los coros forman parte de algunas de sus Sinfonas, y ese aspecto
vocal es dificilsimo. Lo cierto es que Mahler fue un
maestro en el uso de las secciones de metales y alientos. Pocas orquestas son capaces de hacerle justicia.
Las Sinfonas son largas, algunas llegan a tener seis
movimientos. Son hijas de su autor, solo reciben el
amor y el entusiasmo de aquellos que estn dispuestos a conocer profundamente su alma.
En nuestros tiempos, Mahler ha tenido varios
exponentes destacados. Su msica ha adquirido
popularidad a travs de ellos: Bruno Walter, Dmitri Mitropoulos, Bernard Haitink, Leonard Bernstein, Sir Georg Solti, Rafael Kubelik, Jascha Horenstein y Sir Simon Rattle, son algunos de los
ms famosos. Durante varias dcadas, la msica
de Mahler ha formado parte de los repertorios
de las grandes orquestas del mundo. l lo haba
dicho: Mi tiempo llegar! y es verdad. Gustav
Mahler: Tu tiempo ha llegado!
Mahler composed beautiful songs, vocal cycles

of profound inspiration, of these, Kindertotenlieder (Songs for the death of children) and Songs
of a Wayfarer are favorites of both mezzo-sopranos and baritones. But, the Ten Symphonies are
better known. The last was unfinished although
edited by musician Deryck Cooke. Mahlers symphonic legacy opens to his inner torments, his
spiritual yearning......and his surprising capacity
for handling the instruments of the orchestra.
The chorus appears in some of the Symphonies,
and their participation is overwhelming. It is also
important to feels his use of the brass and wind
instruments. There are few orchestras capable of
doing his music full justice. The Symphonies are
long, some have up to six movements. They are
the daughters of the composer and will only receive the love and enthusiasm of those willing to
explore the bottom of their soul.
Nowadays Mahler had great artists to champion his music. It is popular thanks to their
devotion. Bruno Walter, Dmitri Mitropoulos,
Bernard Haitink, Leonard Bernstein, Claudio Abbado, Rafael Kubelik, Jascha Horenstein, Pierre
Boulez and Sir Simon Rattle, are among the most
famous. During several decades the music of
Mahler has become part of the basic repertoire
of the great orchestras of the world. He had once
said: Mi time will come!......and truly, Gustav
Mahler, your time is now!

britnica de Hong Kong, situada en un
pequeo archipilago del sur de China,
es sin duda una de las ms fascinantes
ciudades del mundo. En ella convergen muchas culturas distintas y opuestas. Por un lado, la ancestral y orgullosa cultura china, con una visin ms espiritual y,
por el otro, la moderna y dinmica cultura inglesa, con
una visin ms material. En medio, toda la herencia
cultural que cientos de miles de inmigrantes procedentes de muchas regiones del planeta han dejado en
ella. Sus habitantes han sabido mezclar a la perfeccin
todas estas culturas, dando as origen a una de las urbes ms increbles de la Tierra.
Desde sus inicios, Hong Kong demostr su vocacin
comercial. Si bien comenz como una simple aldea de
pescadores, pronto adquiri notoriedad, cuando algunos
de los emperadores de la dinasta Han Oriental (25-220)
fueron enterrados ah.
Aos despus, en 1276, el nio-emperador Zhao

los mongoles, eligi este archipilago como refugio de su
trgica corte para despus suicidarse al lado de sus ms
fieles seguidores tras la derrota definitiva de sus tropas
en la Batalla Naval de Yamen. Una dolorosa historia que
an se recuerda en Hong Kong.

osmopolitan, tolerant, diverse, colorful, vibrant and beautiful. The former

British colony of Hong Kong, located
in a small archipelago in the south of
China, is undoubtedly one of the most
fascinating cities in the world. There converge
many different and opposing cultures. On one hand
the ancient and proud Chinese culture with a more
spiritual vision and on the other, modern and dynamic English culture with a more material vision,
amid all the cultural contribution that hundreds of
thousands of immigrants from many parts of the
world have made to it. Its population has blended to
perfection all these cultures, thus giving rise to one
of the most incredible cities on Earth.
Since its inception Hong Kong showed its commercial vocation. While it began as a simple fishing village, soon started to acquire notoriety when
some of the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty
(25-220) were buried there.
In 1276, Emperor Zhao Bing, pursued by the
Mongols, chose the archipelago as a refuge for
his tragic court, and then commit suicide together with his most loyal courtiers after the
final defeat of his troops in the battle of Yamen;
a painful history that is still remembered in
Hong Kong.

La ocupacin mongola de China provoc que un gran

nmero de refugiados convergieran en este lugar, convirtindolo en poco tiempo en un ajetreado puerto volcado al comercio, principalmente de sal y perlas. Auge
que atrajo de inmediato a piratas y bandidos, as como
a clanes rivales, obligando a los dirigentes del clan Tang,
el ms importante de la zona, a fortificar el puerto y los
e os e o ro ea a racias a eso, e a act a i a ,
varios pueblos conservan murallas con ms de 500 aos
de antigedad; entre los cuales destaca la poblacin de
Sheung Cheung Wai con su muro de ladrillo verde, que
provoca, en la mirada del profano, la sensacin de pequeas islas de paz en medio del inmenso mar de la modernidad. Este mismo contraste puede apreciarse en otras
grandes ciudades chinas que, a imitacin de Hong Kong,
se han lanzado a una espectacular pero catica carrera
modernizadora que ha rodeado barrios antiguos con los
ms increbles rascacielos.
The Mongol occupation of China caused a

large number of refugees to converge on this
place, which soon became a busy trading port for
salt and pearls mainly. This boom immediately
attracted pirates and bandits as well as rival
clans, which forced the Tang clan leaders, the
most important of the area, to fortify the harbor
and villages around it. Thanks to that, today we
can still admire several of these older than 500
years old walled villages, most notably Sheung
Cheung Wais with a green brick wall, which create in the eyes of the profane the sense of small
islands of peace amid the vast sea of modernity.
This same contrast can now be seen in other major Chinese cities that imitating Hong Kong have
launched a spectacular but chaotic race that has
surrounded modernizing old neighborhoods
with the most amazing skyscrapers.
Few people know that the first Europeans to

settle in Hong Kong were the Portuguese, who
founded a small trading post in 1514, although
it did not last too long. The English arrived in
the area until the nineteenth century not in
a very decent way. Seize a foreign port to sell
drugs freely is not something to be proud, and
in fact that is what happened. The English, in
their expansionist process, were interested in
establishing trade relations with China, because
even then this was the worlds most populous
country and therefore had a large number of potential customers. The problem was that while
the British wanted to buy silk, tea and porcelain,
they could only offer watches and some silver in
exchange, making the trade balance unfavorable
to them. So they did not think twice and began to
illegally trade with opium. The Chinese government opposed it and the English declared war.
This conflict became known as the First Opium
War, indicating that there were others and that,
therefore, the English insisted on this illegal
trade. But the important thing here is that Britain, at the end of the war, seized several Chinese
port enclaves including of course Hong Kong.
this happened in 1842. Since then, step by step
the new colony started out as one of the most
important commercial enclaves of England. In
1898 the British pressure was felt again on China
until the emperor ceded for 99 years the mainland surrounding the archipelago, having Hong
Kong almost doubling its size with the so-called
New Territories.
Poca gente sabe que los primeros europeos en establecerse en Hong Kong fueron los portugueses, quienes
fundaron un pequeo puesto comercial en 1514, aunque
este emplazamiento no dur demasiado tiempo. Los ingleses llegaron a la zona hasta el siglo XIX, pero lo hicieron de una forma nada digna para tan gran nacin, ya que
apoderarse de un puerto extranjero para poder vender
drogas libremente, no es algo de lo cual sentirse orgulloso. Y es que en efecto eso es lo que sucedi. Los ingleses,
en pleno proceso expansionista, estaban interesados en
entablar relaciones comerciales con China, pues desde
entonces se trataba del pas ms poblado del mundo y por
lo mismo posea un gran nmero de clientes potenciales.
El problema era que mientras los ingleses deseaban adquirir seda, t y porcelana, slo podan ofrecer a cambio
relojes y algo de plata, por lo que la balanza comercial les
era muy desfavorable. Sin miramientos, comenzaron a
comerciar ilegalmente con el opio, actividad a la que se
opuso el gobierno chino, lo cual dio pie a que los ingleses
le declararan la guerra. Este conflicto se conoci como la
ri era erra e io, o c a os i ica e

y que, por lo mismo, los ingleses volvieron a insistir con
s ro a ero a
o i orta te es e a ra Bretaa, al trmino de la guerra, se apoder de varios enclaves
portuarios chinos incluyendo, desde luego, a Hong Kong
en 1842. A partir de ese momento, poco a poco la nueva colonia comenz a desarrollarse como uno de los ms
importantes enclaves comerciales de Inglaterra. En 1898
la presin britnica se dej sentir de nuevo sobre China y
consiguieron que el emperador les cediera por 99 aos las
tierras continentales que rodeaban al archipilago, con lo
que Hong Kong prcticamente duplic su extensin con
los llamados Nuevos Territorios.

un cambio en las relaciones entre ambos pases, pues

uno de los contendientes, deseaba crear un gran imperio
en el Ocano Pacfico. Aprovechando la debilidad inglesa
causada por la guerra en Europa, los japoneses ocuparon Hong Kong y otros territorios bajo dominio europeo
a finales de 1941. La ocupacin nipona fue un duro golpe para la economa local debido al racionamiento y a la
imposicin de una moneda japonesa sumamente devaluada. Por otro lado, la violencia se volvi algo rutinario:
violaciones, fusilamientos y deportaciones se sucedan
diariamente sin que parecieran tener fin. Al empezar la
guerra, Hong Kong tena 1.6 millones de habitantes y al
finalizar tan solo quedaban 600,000. Sin embargo, cuatro aos despus sobrepas los dos millones gracias al
flujo de inmigrantes que huan de una nueva guerra civil
en China.
En 1949, con la llegada al poder del Partido Comunista Chino, las exigencias de devolucin del territorio
se intensificaron. Sin embargo, a pesar de la debilidad
inglesa, el decisivo apoyo de los Estados Unidos impidi que China se apoderara de l. Era el inicio de la
erra Fr a
The fall of Chinese imperial rule was also a

change in relations between the two countries,
as China refused to recognize all the treaties
signed by the ancient emperors under threat
from European countries. However, the civil war
that followed the Chinese revolution prevented
the new republican governments to enforce their
claims. But in 1939 World War II broke. Japan,
one of the contenders, wanted to create a great
empire in the Pacific Ocean, and leveraging the
English weakness caused by the war in Europe
occupied Hong Kong and other territories under
European rule in late 1941. The Japanese occupation was a setback to the local economy due
to rationing and the imposition of a highly undervalued yen. On the other hand, the violence
became a routine: endless rapes, executions and
deportations were happening daily. When the
war began, Hong Kong had 1.6 million inhabitants and at the end there were only 600,000. But
four years later it surpassed two million thanks
to the flow of immigrants fleeing a new civil war
in China.
In 1949 with the rising to power of the Chinese
Communist Party, demands to return of the territory intensified. However, despite the English
weakness, the decisive support of the United States
prevented it from China taking over. It was the beginning of the Cold War.

el Reino Unido se comprometi a devolver el enclave en
1997, con la condicin de que China respetara, durante
50 aos, su sistema econmico de libre mercado y su
entramado poltico y legal. La propaganda china lo defini como un pas, dos sistemas. Para esos momentos
Hong Kong era ya un codiciado destino turstico.
Desde que regres a China, Hong Kong ha luchado
para mantener su condicin multicultural, defendiendo su autonoma y mostrando su orgullo cosmopolita.
Y aunque en lo poltico ha tenido que enfrentar grandes desafos, su influencia cultural se ha dejado sentir
en otras grandes ciudades de China, que al abrirse a

But Hong Kong was too tough nut to crack.

The persistence of the Chinese people together
with the entrepreneurship of their British colonial masters allowed it to rise from the ashes and
to reach unprecedented economic power. Then,
came the heyday of so-called Asian Tigers:
Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong.
The UN economic embargo imposed on China in
the 1950s and the isolation that underwent the
country launched these four countries as the
backbone of economic development in the region. Those who spent childhood in the 1970s
perfectly remember products with labels that
say Made in Hong Kong and practically flooded
the Mexican market in the same way products
made in China do now.
But eventually Britain had to surrender. In
1984 a treaty was signed between China and the
United Kingdom whereby the latter agreed to
return the enclave in 1997 with the condition
that China respected, for 50 years, the free market economic system and its political and legal
framework. Chinese propaganda called it one
country, two systems. At that time Hong Kong
was already a coveted tourist destination.
Since being given back to China, Hong Kong
has struggled to maintain its multicultural status, defending its autonomy and showing its cosmopolitan pride. And although politics has faced
great challenges, its cultural influence has been
felt in other cities in China, which opening to the
market economy have had Hong Kong like an example to follow: the modernization sustained by a
millennial roots.
Chinese philosophy and English pride. The best
of East and West merged into one culture. That is
Hong Kong today.

he giant panda, known in China as

Xiongmao, meaning the great bearcat, is classified as the rarest mammal
in the world; not just owing to the combination of its black and white fluffy
fur that has given it its fame as a good natured
being, but for its difficulty to reproduce, vulnerability to illnesses and peculiar feeding habits as,
even though they have a carnivore digestive system, they depend on bamboo to survive.

Outside China, the very existence of the panda

bear had been unknown until 1869, year in which
Jean Pierre Armand David, French priest and missionary, gave the first data about its existence.
By 1870, it receives its definite name: Ailuropoda
melanoleuca, the same as the giant panda bear
title. This means that, for the Western world, it
has less than 150 years of existence. Nevertheless, there exist archeological vestiges of pandas,
such as the finding of a panda skull in a Han dynasty royal tomb, dated on the second century b.
C, thus witnessing to the relevance of these animals. Also, in a Chinese 2500 year old cartography
handbook there appear the ideograms depictong
the word big, bear, cat.

Even though the panda is getting farther
from the imminent danger of extinction, because of the care and commitment that man has
put into its care, still there is a lot to do in order
to reestablish its population; currently around
1610 individuals in the wild.This is one species
requiring greater care and attention for its reproduction; moreover, what is known about them is
based on the observation of specimens in captivity approximately 200 panda bears in several
zoos around the worldbecause the ones living
freely are a rare sight and rarely studied.
Being aware of the pandas significance
and its environment, the Chinese government
scheduled a program for its protection a decade
ago, setting a panda bear forest reserve of about
16,500 Km2, which is close to a 45% of this singular species habitat, where 980 pandas live,
that is, 61% out of the total population. However,
environmental groups such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) point out that a bit less than 800
pandas (49% of the population) continue to be
threatened by pouching and constant destruction of their environment.
Although classified as a carnivore, the pandas diet is based on a 97% of vegetables: gentians, lilies, saffron and, mainly, bamboo stalks
from one of the 300 species that grow in China,
which takes up to 20 years to flourish. The rest of
its diet is fruits, little mammals (rodents), fishes
and insects. This specimen received its Chinese
name bear-cat on account of its peculiar catlike pupils, and is famous for being an insatiable
eater, out of the 10 to 12 hours it spends eating,
in average, it consumes between 12 to 38 kg
of bamboo.
133

In the wild, the giant panda is between 1.20 and

1.50m tall, weighs up to 130 kg, lives in the Chinese
mountainous region from Gansu, Shaanxi, and the
provinces of Sichuan, up to the east of the Tibetan
plain, at a height between 2300 and 3300 meters,
where the weather and humidity allows the growth
of its staple food. In the summertime, it seeks a
fresher weather and reaches regions up to 4000 m
high, where the fresher food and young shoots on
the mountainsides are found.
These are lonely animals, they give the impression of being sedentary; able climbers and
outstanding swimmers, though; in addition, they
have highly developed senses of smell and hearing; even though they do not have the needed energy to confront other pandas, they are extremely
territorial; they follow their olfactory sense to
recognize their home ground, which may comprise an area between 4 to 6 Km2; besides, in the
springtime, season in which the females are in estrus, they use their sense of smell in order to find
a couple to mate.

WWF, the organization that carries as its symbol the

image of the panda bear, has actively supported the
conservation of this species ever since 1980, when
it promoted the works of scientist Dr. George Shaller
and his Chinese colleagues, works that were carried
out in the Wolong natural reserve; that was the way
in which WWF distinguished itself as the first international organization invited by China to work in
the field. Since that time to date, this institution has
aided the Chinese government to accomplish its National Conservation Program for the giant panda and
its habitat; which has been greatly successful, as the
reserves assigned for this species cover more than
16000 Km2 of forest inside and around the pandas
habitat. In the last census there are accounted for
more than 1600 specimens roaming freely.

Located in the Jiuzhaigou Valley or Valley of Nine

Villages, a natural reserve inscribed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1992, north of the
Sichuan Province, at a height of 2587 meters; the
Xiongmao Lake, distinguishes itself for its motley
waters and the beauty of its alluring 80 meter tall
and 50 meter wide astounding waterfall. In the
wintertime, these waters freeze forming a wall of
ice and a crystallized landscape.
Many travelers and visitors believe this lake
is named after the Chinese title of the panda bear
(Xiongmao), because it is common to see these nice
animals roam around the place; where they arrive
in order to freshen up and drink the crystal clear
waters. However, in fact, --according to the aboriginesits name was given because of a white rocky
formation with black spots similar to the panda
bear skin; there exists even a legend, lost its origin
in time, that tells it is a panda bear tutelary deity of
these lands and that, the day the rock disappears,
the panda bears also will disappear from China.

Being a relatively small country, it is easy to

choose a place to stay, since the visitor will
never be far from the commercial places; most
of the hotels being in the Wan Chai zone,
North Point in Hong Kong island; the same as
in Tsim Sha.
The city features more than 40,000 restaurants
of all types that range from international
cuisine to the Asian gourmet neighborhood
specialties.
It is recommended checking the weather before traveling; even though in spring it is
nice, during summer could be very warm or in
winter very cold.
Tops
Hong Kong allows an excellent pedestrian
traffic; there exist walking facilities to move
around the city without the need to use car or
any other transport means, crossing through
its buildings, bridges and malls.
Ladies Market is a must-see for the tourist, being the most famous mart in Hong Kong, located at Mong Kok.
The Tsim sha Tsui Promenade has made Hong
Kong famous; it is a sun and light show that
can be appreciated from the harbor or aboard
a boat.
