Traveling on the Indian Pacific is an exhilarating adventure and a great eye-opener as it rolls across the diversity of the Australian landscape. The 4,352-kilometer transcontinental journey from Sydney to Perth takes three nights and three days, or approximately 65 hours, and transports the visitor from the stunning Blue Mountains, the Great Dividing Range, the salt lakes and sand dunes of South Australia to the longest straight stretch of rail track across the Nullarbor Plain.
If my Australian colleague Tym did not send me an e-mail giving me tips on traveling in Perth, I would have written the city on the west coast of Australia off my itinerary. Like most Chinese tourists, my knowledge of Down Under was limited to the east coast, with its well-known attractions such as Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, the Great Barrier Reef ?
As a man, Charles Leung, Chaumet's managing director for Asia Pacific, seldom wears jewelry ?but he decorated his formal suit with a small pin last week when he appeared in Beijing. The delicate pin, smaller than a nail, was in the shape of a bee. Set in white gold, it was decorated with diamonds and sapphires. It is featured in Chaumet's ongoing exhibition, held at the city's luxury-gathering Shin Kong Place. "It is not that showy, but can represent the wearer's social statue and his special taste,?Leung said.
This season sees more bling-bling to put a glint in your eye. Gan Tian seeks the most stunning.
