2022 Taiwan Lantern Festival will be launched on 1st February in Kaohsiung

KAOHSIUNG, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 28 January 2022 – The streets and night skies of Kaohsiung will be bathed in light as the city stages the 2022 Taiwan Lantern Festival, with this year’s event drawing on both tradition and modern innovation to mesmerise visitors to the city.

 

The Flying Phoenix lantern will light up Kaohsiung in 2022 Taiwan lantern festival. 

 

The festival, which will run for 28 days from February 1, will for the first time provide a model for collaboration between artisans who use time-honoured methods to construct traditional lanterns and cutting-edge artists from around the world.

Spread throughout the National Kaohsiung Centre for the Arts at Weiwuying and the city’s Love River Bay district, the festival will provide interactive experiences for visitors to learn about how traditional lantern art can be passed down to modern generations at the same time as harnessing advanced exhibition technology, such as high-speed, low-latency 5G for remote artistic displays.

Historic roots


First staged in 1990, the annual lantern festival is inspired by traditional folk celebrations on the fifteenth day of the first month, according to the lunar calendar, and to mark the end of the Lunar New Year. For centuries, people from China have marked the arrival of the New Year by carrying paper lanterns through their darkened streets, with the designs becoming far more elaborate and adventurous in recent years.

This year, Kaohsiung will be aglow with works by artists keen to put forward their own interpretations of light.

Signature Lantern


The event’s signature work is a cross-border collaboration that brings together lantern designer Benson Lu and renowned calligrapher Dong Yangzi. Together, they have created a work that transforms the Chinese character “feng,” which means phoenix, into an illuminated pheasant that is native to Taiwan spreading its wings atop a mountain.

Lighting up Kaohsiung, the Flying Phoenix lantern will use the aesthetics of lighting to communicate the message of effective urban governance, and increase awareness of Kaohsiung City around the world.

The 2022 Taiwan Lantern Festival


The artists and organizers of the festival hope visitors will be able to put the difficulties of the last year behind them, at least temporarily, and enjoy an occasion that will be a unique feast for the senses.

Fitch affirms CIFI’s ‘BB’ rating and outlook stable; removes CIFI from UCO list

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 28 January 2022 – CIFI Holdings (Group) Co. Ltd. (“CIFI” or the “Group”, HKEx stock code: 884), a leading real estate developer and investor in first-, second- and robust third-tier cities in China, is pleased that Fitch Ratings has issued a report to affirm CIFI’s long-term foreign and local -currency issuer default ratings at ‘BB’; the Outlook is ‘Stable’. In addition, CIFI has been removed all the ratings from Under Criteria Observation (UCO) by Fitch Ratings.

 

Fitch’s report points out that CIFI’s business and financial profiles remain commensurate with a ‘BB’ credit profile. Fitch believes CIFI’s above-average financial flexibility is supportive of the rating despite its higher leverage of 50% compared with peers’ 40-45%.

 

The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch’s belief that CIFI has strong liquidity and continued access to capital-market financing in both onshore and offshore markets to refinance its maturities in 2022. Fitch believes CIFI’s leverage to fall to 45%-50% in 2022-2023 from an estimate of around 50% in 2021 due to a slowdown in land acquisition and a continued ramp-up of its investment properties.

 

Fitch also believes CIFI’s quality land bank, with more than 85% in tier 1-2 cities, will make it more resilient in the downturn and can sustain two-three years of development and a sales scale above RMB 220 billion in 2022-2023.

 

Mr. Lin Zhong, Chairman of CIFI, said “We welcome Fitch to affirms our rating which is the capital market’s recognition of our business development and financial strength. The management flexibly deploy our capital to proactively manage the Group’s debt structure and portfolio. We strive to enhance our capability to withstand the risks of both the industry and the economic cycle. All these efforts can ensure the Group’s healthy financial position and sustainable business development in the long term.”

Wells Singapore Expanding Amid Rising Demand From Local Market

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 28 January 2022 – Wells Singapore is revealing its expansion plans amid strong growth and increasing demand from the local market. On top of its expansion, the water dispenser and purifier company is also preparing to launch a series of new products that aim to enhance user experience and elevate home designs.

 

As demands of the local market continue to rise amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Wells will be opening a fourth outlet in the western part of Singapore to add to its store fleet. They currently have a showroom located in Macpherson as well as two outlets in Orchard, on top of their home demo sessions where they bring their products to the customers for free. Customers can look forward to a fresh line of water purifiers as well as new coffee/tea machines that Wells will be adding to their catalogue.

 

Despite the many disruptions to trade activities and supply chain issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the water purifier market is on track to bounce back stronger. According to market research, valuation of the ASEAN Water Purifier Market reached SGD$2.02 trillion dollars in 2020, and is forecasted to reach SGD$3.7 trillion dollars by 2026. Singapore, being the 6th largest water purifier market in ASEAN, has seen strong growth over the past year as well. This can be attributed to COVID-19’s impact in creating increased awareness of the significance and benefits of consuming safer and cleaner water. As the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve, Wells has adapted by implementing stricter regulations to their home demo and on-site appointments, allowing them to sustain their staffing and expand their target audience through marketing efforts.

 

Since its establishment in 2019, Wells has worked with several high-profile clients such as OCBC Bank, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Gleneagles Hospital. As consumers become more aware of the health benefits of drinking purified water, Wells hopes to bring their designs and technology to more households, and extend their reach to promote wellness and healthy living to the masses.
