A new phase of Silk Roads Beyond Borders opens at POLY MGM MUSEUM on April 11, with fresh reasons to step back into one of Macao’s most visually ambitious museum spaces.

This latest chapter brings two 18th-century Venetian masterpieces to Asia for the first time, alongside a remarkable Farahan carpet from a Lisbon collection. Set against MGM’s Dragon-Patterned Throne Carpet and Zao Wou-Ki’s Golden City, the new additions give the exhibition even more depth, tracing how the Silk Roads carried not only goods, but also ideas, beliefs, techniques, and ways of seeing.

The museum’s tech-forward edge remains part of the draw too. From the striking entrance hall to the newly launched ‘Marco Polo VR Experience,’ the exhibition keeps history in motion.

Running through May 17, same-day ticket holders can also join the ‘Silk Road Voyages’ promotion for an instant lucky draw, with a weekly grand prize of a Silk Road travel package for two.
A strong new reason to revisit or go for the first time.

Man Ho Chinese Restaurant
Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Baiyun

Man Ho offers an elevated Cantonese dining experience, blending Lingnan heritage with contemporary refinement. Located within the Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Baiyun, it provides a sophisticated setting for discerning guests seeking authentic yet innovative Cantonese cuisine.

The interior exudes subtle elegance: textured grey brick walls, fine wooden accents, and warm lighting in the public area, plus eight luxurious private rooms featuring gilded ceilings, ink-wash art, crystal chandeliers, and serene Lingnan garden views. Ideal for family celebrations, prestigious banquets, or high-level corporate events.

At the heart of Man Ho is Executive Chef Harris Huang, a talented young master from Taishan, Jiangmen. He honors the classic virtues of Cantonese cuisine — clean, fresh, crisp, tender, and silky — while introducing thoughtful innovations from his travels across China.

Signature dishes include crispy chicken with fragrant Yunnan mushrooms, king prawns in tri-color quinoa, citrus-brightened black pork char siu, and red pepper ginger clay-pot yellow croaker.

A refined sanctuary where Lingnan tradition finds its modern soul. ✨

Hooley’s doesn’t need to reinvent the night. It knows well how to throw one.

Cold pints and hot plates hit the table, the room soon fills up, and the music takes over at just the right moment. Downstairs has that chilled pub buzz. Upstairs, the energy lifts fast. One round becomes another, another table joins in, and before long the whole place is carrying the kind of energy people go out hoping to find.

In Zhujiang New Town, Hooley’s Irish Pub and Restaurant has been hosting parties for nearly 20 years, and it remains a natural pick for nights that start casually and end somewhere louder, warmer, and a lot more fun.

Opened in 2024 and inspired by Lingnan heritage, Ascott Pazhou Guangzhou is an urban sanctuary where the Pearl River sings with the city skyline. Here, the fast pace of business gives way to genuine comfort.

The 378 residences, from studios to spacious three-bedroom suites, are built for real life on the road. They feature full kitchens, in-unit laundry, generous storage, and floor-to-ceiling views of the Pearl River, Canton Tower and the bustling urban scene.

Mornings begin with Singapore laksa, bak k*t teh and fresh Cantonese dim sum.

Evenings offer a swim in the heated pool on the 24th-floor, time in the sauna or steam room (available during designated hours), the golf simulator, or a workout in the 24-hour gym.

Thoughtful luxury that makes your Canton Fair trip more comfortable and memorable.

The "Hype & Energy" Post (Best for Reels/Short Video)
Caption:
The energy at CIFF Guangzhou 2026 is officially different. 🚀

We’ve been on the ground all week, and if there’s one takeaway, it’s this: the furniture industry isn't just growing; it’s completely transforming. With 850,000 sqm of innovation, every hall feels like stepping into a new world. 🌏✨

What caught our eye?

The Scale: 5,100+ brands. You can’t even see it all in one day, but you’ll want to try.

The "Silver Economy": A massive shift toward beautiful, functional design for elderly care.

Global Hub: We’re seeing more international collaborations than ever before—East meets West in real-time. 🤝

From "White Orchid" inspired aesthetics to high-tech smart homes, CIFF is no longer just a trade show—it’s a global design nexus.

Right in Zhujiang New Town, Brasston moves with the district’s social rhythm without feeling rushed by it.

The pizza is what anchors everything. Its crust is the standout: leopard-spotted, with that perfect chew and lightly smoky edge that gives even the simplest pie real presence.

What makes the place stick, though, is the full-night rhythm around it. Strong drinks, good desserts, music in the room, and a dark, easy atmosphere make it just as good for a casual catch-up as for a longer evening out.

During Canton Fair season, when the district runs a little faster and conversations tend to carry on past dinner, Brasston feels especially well placed.

The Happy Monk has introduced its new April menu, with a nice selection of dishes designed for sharing.

April in Guangzhou feels special — Easter is here, and the Canton Fair is bringing lots of opportunities to network, meet new friends, and reconnect with familiar faces. The menu includes mixed grills, BBQ ribs, wood-fired pizzas, Middle Eastern sharing boards, and appetizer platters that make it easy and enjoyable to gather around the table.

This approach comes naturally from The Happy Monk’s way of doing things over the past 15 years in Guangzhou: offering reliable quality, warm service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere for both international guests and locals. It’s the kind of place people like to return to.

The new April menu is now available at all three locations, right on time for the season ahead.
