    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Culture and Sport
    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, Chinese Culture and Natural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts.

  • Macao New Eight Scenic Spots
    Macao New Eight Scenic Spots To celebrate the 20 th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Macao Special Administrative Region, the Chinese Cultural Exchange Association hosted the global vote of “Macao New Eight Scenic Spots”, converges both social forces and wisdom to jointly select eight scenic spots of Macao. With culture, history and nature as the core, the new eight scenic spots reflect Macao’s cultural deposits and urban development by intertwining with old and new and integrating Chinese and Western cultures. “Penha Hill” – located in the west of Macao, standing 62.7 metres above sea level. In 1622, the Portuguese built the Chapel of Our Lady of Guia at the top of the hill. In 1935, it was reconstructed as the residence of the bishop of the Diocese of Macao; hence the Chinese nickname “Bishop Hill”. Facing the hill is Nam Van Lake, with the Inner Harbor to the west. At the east side, there is the official residence of the Portuguese Consulate General in Macao (Former Hotel Bela Vista). “Two Lakes and One Tower” – the Nam Van Lake is an artificial lake which was rehabilitated from the bay; the Sai Van Lake is an ancient scenic spot with banyan trees along the embankment and with Southern European style buildings along the bank, which leads to a beautiful view. Built in 2001, the Macau Tower is 338 metres in height and is standing opposite to the two lakes. It integrates the functions of tourism, sightseeing, performances, conferences, exhibitions, shopping, catering and entertainment. “Senado Square” – one of the four major squares located in the centre of Macao.
