Texas’s cities each have their own personality, but Fort Worth? It stands proudly apart. While Dallas is faster-paced and leans more cosmopolitan, Fort Worth exudes a deeply Texan warmth: a mix of cowboy grit, artistic sophistication and laid-back charm. It’s a city where longhorn cattle still parade down cobblestone streets, where world-class museums rival those on the coasts and where a night out dancing might be followed by the finest gourmet meal you’ve had all year. Cathay Pacific now offers daily direct flights from Hong Kong to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), making it easier than ever to explore North Texas. And with CX’s limited-time special fares, including options for travellers heading to offline US cities, you can turn your journey into something more.

Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre has opened its doors to a captivating cultural showcase on Tang dynasty. From now until December 31, ‘Tang Vogue Beyond the Horizons: A Golden Era of Multicultural Integration and Openness’ exhibition gives you a rare glimpse of this remarkable historical period. Jointly organised by the Development Bureau and the National Cultural Heritage Administration, the exhibition celebrates the dynasty’s cosmopolitan spirit and highlights Hong Kong’s significance along the Maritime Silk Road.   Tang dynasty, often hailed as China’s golden age, was a period defined by prosperity, openness, and cultural integration. This exhibition captures that vibrancy through eight sections that explore everything from the governance of the dynasty to the flourishing of art and craftsmanship. Visitors can get up close with the planning of Chang’an city, the daily lives of its people and literati, and their religious beliefs. The Silk Road, both overland and maritime, comes alive here, with Hong Kong’s own archaeological finds – ceramic ware, currency, ornaments, and weapons unearthed along the northern coast of Lantau Island – reminding us of the city’s pivotal role in global trade centuries ago.

Among the many gems of Korean cuisine, Hanwoo beef stands out as a premium delicacy. Revered in Korea as a world-class luxury ingredient, Hanwoo is prized for its sublime marbling, buttery richness, and tender texture that melts effortlessly on the palate. Hanwoo is a breed of cattle native to the Korean peninsula. Raised with attentive care, these cattle enjoy a grain-fed diet often enhanced with natural additions like fermented pine needles and barley, which infuse the meat with distinct depth and flavour. Hanwoo stands out among premium beef cuts for its refined harmony of lean meat and marbling, delivering a dining experience that’s both indulgent and health-conscious. Its high oleic acid content adds a health benefit known to help reduce cholesterol levels, making it an indulgence you can feel good about. Photograph: Courtesy Korea Agro-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation Hong Kong Branch A strict Korean grading system, overseen by the Korea Institute for Animal Products Quality Evaluation, rates Hanwoo from 1 to the ultra-premium 1++ grade, showcasing exquisite marbling, bright red colour, and fine texture.
