cional de Hong Kong, inaugurado en

diferente del resto de China. Esto se comprueba una

vez en tierra, mientras se aprecia su modernidad y

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 prcti-

ca 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 per-

mita identificar los lugares a conocer ya que esto

har que disfrute de oportunidades nicas.

Bienvenidos a bordo!

AMURA Editores

Ever since the instant one is about

to land at the amazing Hong Kong

International Airport, inaugurated

in 1998 in Lantau Island, no mat-

ter 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 ex-

tremely 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, vis-

iting 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 rel-

ish 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

SummerA set of

texturesE

sta temporada de verano predominan los materiales frescos que combinan con tex-turas que acentan looks inspirados en un clima clido, pero preparado para las sor-presivas 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 in-corporar 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, in-clusive 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.

Fresh 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 attrac-tive 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 col-ors like green and the ever suitable black.

Jackets and suits, for men and women, play a paramount role in their own usual elegance; be-sides other garments such as vests and caftans that integrate versatile outfits in this unpre-dictable and spontaneous summertime.

En 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 pa-

sado 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 pul-

sadores 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 trata-

miento 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 ma-

nual: 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 movimien-

to Angelus del modelo original. Acabado a mano, con detalles

tcnicos de primer nivel, como la rueda de pilares y el re-

gulador de cuello de cisne. Los puentes estn hechos de

Maillechort, una aleacin de nquel y plata con la que es par-

ticularmente difcil trabajar, e incluyen un sofisticado acabado

Ctes de Genve. El Mare Nostrum Titanio 52mm es herm-

tico hasta tres atmsferas con una profundidad de unos 30

metros. Su edicin est limitada a 150 piezas.

In 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 coun-

ter 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 origi-

nal 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 Nos-

trum Titanio 52mm is water-resistant to 3 bars (a

depth of about 30 meters). Its edition is limited to

150 pieces.

La 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 arte-

sanos crearon una pieza emblemtica en la que se

aprecia el cdigo internacional de seales mar-

timas, 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. Ecri-

dor 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 bo-

lgrafo y el portaminas llevan pulsador, con un clip

que es flexible. Su lapicero mecnico de alta preci-

sin asegura comodidad excepcional y el bolgra-

fo 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.

Caran 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 engrav-

ings, were used in order to accomplish it.

Reminiscences of a traditional design com-

plete 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 in-

struments: 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 ex-

ceptional comfort, and its ballpoint pen uses

the famous Goliath cartridge, having a capac-

ity to write up to 600 continuous sheets of pa-

per (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 In-

ternational Code of Signals. As an emotive sym-

bol and as a faithful companion, the Ecridor

Yatch Club hoists the sails and is readying itself

for new challenges.

There are people who say that Hong Kong,

its skyscrapers glimmer towards the sky

and illuminate the arrival of visitors,

giving them away an amazing kaleido-

scope as well.In order to enter this enigmatic country, one

must understand the cultural heritage of its an-

tecessors, 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 un-

dergone; the days preceding the transformation pe-

riod 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 km2 of a mostly mountainous sur-

face, Hong Kong is small in terms of dimensions;

however its position among the 10 top trade re-

gions 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 mil-

lion visitors on a yearly basis.

Encounter between two worlds

Hong Kong inhabitants say that when one builds a great

metropolis, modern and well planned, over the founda-

tions of a millennial civilization, marvelous things hap-

pen. This assertion becomes an actuality when one vis-

its 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 Re-

public 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 witness-

ing to the civility of this city when realizes that he can

be fined for eating or drinking in public transportation

1500 HKD; for smoking in public transportation 5000

HKD or for spitting on the floor 5000 HKD.

Its subway is one of the most modern and clean-

est, and has one of the best signaling systems, in

the world; its tickets are bought from vending ma-

chines at the stations and their cost varies accord-

ing with the journey. Regarding taxi cabs, there is

price signaling at the airport according to the dis-

trict destination; for example from the airport to

Mongkok in Kowloon the cost is about 390 HKD;

while on a bus, the price is 33.5 HKD per person.

In order to live it up in this destination, it is neces-

sary to know it is divided in three zones: mainly Kow-

loon or the peninsular territory, the Hong Kong Island

and the so-called New Territories that include the Lan-

tau Island.

Skyscraper city

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, to-

wards 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 Com-

merce Centre, 484 height over the sea level; fol-

lowed 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 skyscrap-

ers also influenced religious architecture; as a

sample it has the tallest church in the world, the

Sky City Church.

Among the paramount sites in this region there

is the Hong Kong Park; a haven of peace and tran-

quility; 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.

Victoria Peak

It is possible to get up the Victoria Peak, also known

as Mount Austin, aboard the Peak Tram, funicular

railway that has been working ever since 1888, and

services about 12000 passengers a day (with a sched-

ule 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 appre-

ciate the main Hong Kongese skyline buildings.

A visit to the bustling markets is a must; that

is where one can live through the intense city life,

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 inter-

esting and quaint places, such as the bird market,

the sea products market, the herbal medicines mar-

ket and the antiques market.

The Western Market, located at Sheung Wan,

the citys center of activity, is a Victorian build-

ing covering an entire block; it opened for busi-

ness 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 commer-

cial center and, currently, it is one of the scarce

old edifices, in the middle of the tall buildings,

thus becoming a tourist attraction.

Over the famous avenue, Hollywood Road,

the Man Mo Temple is located; built in 1847 as

an offering to the gods Man and Mo, the former

the God of letters and the latter the God of war; it

is another example of surviving historical con-

structions in the middle of the financial district

skyscrapers, a part of significant complexes,

such as the Lit Shing Kung where heavenly di-

vinities are venerated; and the Kung Sor, in the

western part of the temple, a crucial hall for

community affairs in the past. In 1908, the Man

Mo Temple was officially entrusted to the Tung

Wah Group of Hospitals; eventually, in 2009, it

was listed as a Grade I historic building. It still

keeps its inner mystical aura; in the midst of

hanging incense coils smoke one can appreciate

Aberdeen Harbour

Located south of the Island, between Aberdeen

and Ap Lei Chau, the isle, Aberdeen Harbour is a

zone of fishermen who live aboard floating hous-

es, 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 of-

fers 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 sum-

mertime, a boat ride aboard the Dukling is rec-

ommended; 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 float-

ing restaurant and one of the most requested,

it is the Jumbo Kingdom, with capacity for over

2,000 people.

Kowloon Peninsula

Separated from the Island by a several hundred

meter strait, the Kowloon Peninsula is the sec-

ond greater zone in importance of the Hong Kong

region; being an extension of the great strip of

buildings that have given it fame as one of the

most cosmopolitan regions worldwide; having

a large number of places of interest, recognized

as the foremost cultural district as well. A zone

with great tourist allure, such as its marina

promenade, the Avenue of Stars, where in keep-

sakes and prints, homage is paid to the Chinese

movie actors who have left a mark, specifically

from Hong Kong; in this promenade one can find

Bruce Lees statue and Jackie Chans handprint;

in addition to the modern building of the Hong

Kong Museum of Art next to an observation deck

so as to enjoy one of the best views of the city.

Every night, in this site, a relevant number

of persons gather to be enchanted by a light and

music spectacle, the Symphony of Lights; at 8

oclock, on Hong Kongs side, the skyscrapers get

illuminated to music.

Over the marina promenade, one can find the

Hong Kong Cultural Center, inaugurated in 1989,

one of the foremost entertainment centers,

where a variety of activities are shown: world

class concerts, opera, dance, theater plays, also

musicals, movie projections, conventions, con-

Close to the marine promenade there is the Na-

than Road, one of the liveliest commercial avenues

on account of which it is known as the Golden Mile,

where the most relevant brand stores are present,

the same as little bazaars. In the same manner, the

Jordan and MongKok districts are ideal to find all

kinds of souvenirs, from t-shirts to purses and suit-

cases, and to international brands sports products.

Other interesting sites to visit are: the Hong

the biggest in the world, a sculpted crystal and alu-

senting a sea bird taking off; the Golden Bauhinia

Square or Handover Monument sculpture that rep-

The SoHo, a cosmopolitan and modern neigh-

Escalator, the longest electric staircase in the world;

built in 1993 as an auxiliary via to access the mount

abodes, 800 meters long, a Guinness World Record.

It is said that the residents refused to build two

staircases (in order to go up and to come down),

so its functioning in the mornings is from 6:00 to

10:00 a.m. to go downstairs and from 11:00 a.m. to

23:00 p.m. is to come upstairs.

Founded in 1884, the Hong Kong Jockey Club

Symphony of lights

Every night, Victoria Harbour is illuminated by

neon lights and laser beams synchronized to the

music beat, the Symphony of Lights, a multimedia

show that makes a visit to Hong Kong something

very special

In itself, the view of the port is dazzling

enough; however, watching the (so called)

Worlds Largest Permanent Light and Sound

Show, involving more than 40 buildings in each

side of the harbor with multicolor laser beams

and searchlights, synchronized to the music and

a narration celebrating the zest, soul and diver-

sity of Hong Kong, results in an unforgettable

multifaceted show; lasting 13 minutes, every

night at 20:00 hrs., with a Guinness World Re-

cord; it takes on 5 different themes: Awakening,

Energy, Heritage, Partnership and Celebration.

The experience of relishing this dazzling show

of lights is unforgettable, on board of a tradi-

tional Chinese reed vessel.

Hong Kong has a great history; so

much that nowadays, this destina-

tion inhabited by approximately 7

million people, welcomes more than

60 million visitors a year.And, as its history can witness to, the peo-

ple 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 Administra-

tive 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 govern-

ment, where its people have Hong Kong nationality;

they have their own currency; the same as a demo-

cratic 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.

A window out to 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 commu-

nication 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 pi-

oneers in engineering and infrastructure development.

An example of this is the Hong Kong Inter-

national 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, be-

sides 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 busi-

nesses operation model and its very simple tax sys-

tem. It also ranks first in export investments world-

wide and as a foremost art dealing market.

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 environ-

ment 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 Ameri-

ca, 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.
