Little more than a century old, Kuala Lumpur has grown into a vibrant capital city, teeming with diverse cultures, deep traditions and memorable architecture

A center of commerce and shopping, Kuala Lumpur overflows with parks, shrines and other antidotes to the stresses of city life. Here, visitors climb to the Batu Caves, a series of three giant caverns housing Hindu shrines. (Photos by Darren Soh)

A statue of Hindu deity Lord Murugan stands watch at the entrance to the Batu Caves. Mosques, churches, Buddhist temples and Hindu shrines abound, telling the story of the city’s past and its modern, multicultural way of life.

The Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, in Chinatown, was founded in 1864 by Kapitan Yap Ah Loy, the founding father of modern Kuala Lumpur.

A street stall selling durians, the (in)famous pungent tropical fruit, in the Bukit Bintang district.

No visit to Kuala Lumpur would be complete without admiring the spectacular Petronas Twin Towers.

Hindu statues adorn the entrance of the Batu Caves.

Falling in Love with … New Year’s in Hong Kong

December 21, 2011

A feast for every sense, Chinese New Year is the time to enjoy Hong Kong at its most ebulliently authentic

Fireworks explode over Victoria Harbour. These giant, sparkling blossoms light up the glass towers on each side of the water. (Photographs by Justin Lane)

A dragon decoration on sale at an outdoor market in Hong Kong.

The city’s markets dazzle during the holiday, with stalls loaded with decorations in lucky red and gold.

The New Year’s Flower Market is a giddy sea of people, frothing with chrysanthemum blossoms (to ensure hardiness) and scented with peonies (to ensure wealth).

As night falls across the harbor in Kowloon, Hong Kong wears a rainbow of modern colors at its ballyhooed annual New Year’s parade.

Horses cross the finish line at Sha Tin Racecourse, where residents come to test their New Year’s luck.

Inflatable dragons, ornate lion dancers and marching bands in blinding hues try to outdo each at the New Year’s parade.

A young resident throws an orange into the wishing tree in Lam Tsuen, outside of Hong Kong.

A Day at the Beach

December 21, 2011

Is this beach tote by London-based handbag designer Anya Hindmarch adorable, or what? But beyond the cute factor, it’s also practical — with enough room to fit your towel, sunscreen and some of the other goodies we share here ($295, <a href="http://www.anyahindmarch.com/" target="_blank">anyahindmarch.com</a>).

At any age, sunscreen is a must — but it’s especially important when sand and surf are on your itinerary. For the wee ones (and yourself), consider California Baby, a water-resistant SPF 30 sunscreen that’s free of the kinds of chemicals and ingredients that irritate sensitive skin ($15, <a href="http://www.californiababy.com/" target="_blank">californiababy.com</a>). If you’re someone who appreciates convenience, Supergoop! Sunscreen Swipes come in SPF 30 saturated wipes, making them a breeze to apply ($34 for 21 swipes, <a href="http://www.supergoop.com/" target="_blank">supergoop.com</a>).

Protect your eyes from UV rays and look stylish to boot. For him, Dolce & Gabbana 2102 aviators ($290) and Ray-Ban 4171 sunglasses for the kids ($109), both from Sunglass Hut (<a href="http://www.sunglasshut.com/" target="_blank">sunglasshut.com</a>); and for her, Miu Miu’s 310 sunglasses ($310), from Saks Fifth Avenue (<a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/" target="_blank">saksfifthavenue.com</a>).

The perfect vacation camera, Sony’s 16.2 megapixel Cyber-Shot Digital Camera TX10 shoots still images and HD video. And it’s certified waterproof, shockproof and dustproof — making it ideal for any adventure ($280, <a href="http://www.store.sony.com/" target="_blank">store.sony.com</a>).

With an endless array of colors — you can even make your own custom pair — plus, sizes for everyone from infants to adults, Havaianas are a must-pack item for any resort getaway. Pictured counterclockwise from left: Kids Slim Love in grape ($18), Baby Pets in light rose ($17) Slim Animals in leopard print ($26), all from Havaianas (<a href="http://www.us.havaianas.com/" target="_blank">us.havaianas.com</a>).

Whether you’re in a cabana or soaking up the rays in the bright sunlight, you can read — with zero eyestrain — the latest best-seller on the Kindle Touch 3G. The free 3G wireless technology makes it possible to download books from anywhere in the world. What’s more, the lightweight device holds up to 3,000 books, has a touch screen and lets you borrow books from local libraries ($149, with advertising; $189, without), from Amazon (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/" target="_blank">amazon.com</a>).

Travel Style: Winter in Hong Kong

December 21, 2011

A collection of practical and purely precious items to help you experience Chinese New Year to its fullest

Hong Kong is one of the most chic cities in the world, and this trio of bags is perfectly suited to a weekend adventure there: Tumi’s Alpha Deluxe Carry-On Satchel ($445, <a href="http://www.tumi.com/" target="_blank">tumi.com</a>) has a framed opening like a doctor’s bag, providing easy access to all your gear; classic and elegant in buffalo leather, Mulberry’s Postman’s Lock Travel Bag is roomy enough for overnight trips ($2,000, (<a href="http://www.mulberry.com/" target="_blank">mulberry.com</a>); and Jack Spade’s Wayne leather duffle bag in rich olive ($395, <a href="http://www.jackspade.com/" target="_blank">jackspade.com</a>) has a zip top that opens to reveal a multitude of organizer pockets, from Nordstrom (<a href="http://www.shop.nordstrom.com/" target="_blank">shop.nordstrom.com</a>).

One for her, one for him: Two jackets that are easy to pack and perfect for a cool day or a breezy night. Diane von Furstenberg’s Vincent oversized tweed jacket ($585, <a href="http://www.dvf.com/" target="_blank">dvf.com</a>) and Moncler’s Elie Jacket ($850, <a href="http://www.barneys.com/" target="_blank">barneys.com</a>), a lightweight anorak made of wrinkle-free fabric with plenty of pockets for daily travel essentials.

Tag, you’re it. Even if your luggage is basic black, you’ll never lose track of it in baggage claim with Smythson’s colorful luggage tags ($90-$105, <a href="http://www.smythson.com/" target="_blank">smythson.com</a>), featuring gold blocking of “Home” on one side and “Destination” on the other.

Heading out for a night on the town? Dress up your outfit with Alexis Bittar’s hand-carved, hand-painted Lucite skinny bangles. Mix and match the colors, and stack several on your wrist for a glamorous touch ($65 each, <a href="http://www.alexisbittar.com/" target="_blank">alexisbittar.com</a>), from Nordstrom (<a href="http://www.shop.nordstrom.com/" target="_blank">shop.nordstrom.com</a>).

As seen in the latest issue of The Ritz-Carlton Magazine, your jewelry can also take on a chinoiserie twist. David Webb’s carved coral and jade pendant necklace is accented with diamonds (price upon request, <a href="http://www.davidwebb.com/" target="_blank">davidwebb.com</a>) and Hemmerle’s necklace combines copper, white gold, jade, brown diamonds and agate to striking effect (price upon request, <a href="http://www.hemmerle.com/" target="_blank">www.hemmerle.com</a>).

Explore the city in style — and comfort — in a pair of flats. Here, we share a few of our favorites. Good luck trying to choose a favorite among them: Christian Louboutin’s Rollergirl loafers in velvet with a metal cap toe ($1,095, <a href="http://www.christianlouboutin.com/" target="_blank">christianlouboutin.com</a>), from Saks Fifth Avenue (<a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/" target="_blank">saksfifthavenue.com</a>); Jimmy Choo’s Walker ballerina pumps in sand leopard-printed patent leather ($395, <a href="http://www.jimmychoo.com/" target="_blank">jimmychoo.com</a>) and Loeffler Randall’s Blaise Flat Moccasin in apple red suede with metallic studs ($325, <a href="http://www.loefflerrandall.com/" target="_blank">loefflerrandall.com</a>).
