China Town, the nerve centre of Chinese immigration in Mauritius, is a spatio-temporal bubble where elements of the past and modern life are juxtaposed. Old and sometimes ruined shops, Mah-Jong houses, traditional restaurants and fortune tellers rub shoulders with brand new buildings and busy businessmen. This historic district of Port-Louis remains one of the best preserved in the Mauritian capital, despite the advanced decay of many of its old buildings.China Town is actually a very small district that runs along the Royal Road for about 500 meters. It was created by conurbation: during the first wave of immigration of Chinese workers to Mauritius during the 18th century, a few traders settled along the street in the centre of Port-Louis. At that time, all immigrants from China were systematically directed to China Town, where existing traders helped them to the best of their ability. As time went on, other businesses opened their doors in the surrounding area. In this foreign land where they did not understand the language, immigrants had a tendency to regroup. Everyone knows that you can find just about anything and everything. In the Win Tai Chong store, for example, if you go there a few days before the Chinese New Year, you will see fireworks enthusiasts looking for their favourite holiday items, shelves packed with dried or pickled vegetables, sauces and decorations, and so many customers that there will be so many of them on the sidewalk.Further up the street, the Atlantic Store is just as impressive, with its windows loaded with dishes, toys, firecrackers, fans, musical instruments and other unexpected objects. On the sidewalk, impatient customers line up to enjoy dumplings (a kind of local dim sum) and not far from the street vendor, an imperturbable old man supervises the unloading of his provisions, which immediately disappear at the back of the shop, behind a large red wooden door. Food stands are set up not far from traditional music groups, shopkeepers take their carefully selected products out on the sidewalk, while the streets, all lit by hundreds of red and yellow Chinese lanterns, are closed to traffic. On these lively nights, you could also meet dancers hiding timidly behind their fans, women dressed in qipao (a traditional Chinese dress), and even attend small Miss Chinatown beauty contests.

DJ SNAKE will perform for an exceptional event in Mauritius at the Côte d’Or Stadium on Saturday 14th December 2019. The most listened to French artist in the world who has just won two awards at the Latin American Music Awards (including Song of the year with Taki Taki) will offer the Mauritian public an exceptional show never before produced. Born of a French father and an Algerian mother, DJ Snake, whose real name is William Sami Étienne Grigahcine, was born on June 13, 1986 in Paris.  He grew up in a working-class district in Ermont, then in the Val-d’Oise. It was at the age of 14 that William discovered his passion for mixing, after seeing the scene of disc jockey Curt Kille in the French film, La Haine.DJ Snake made his passion his vocation and performed in his early days in several clubs such as Les Bains Douches in Paris. His nickname of reptile, he owes it to his background as a street artist while he produces graffiti in the streets of Paris. His career took off in 2011, after his collaboration with Lady Gaga on her album Born this way, which earned him a Grammy’s nomination in 2012. On the strength of this success, he decided to renew his duet with Lady Gaga on her album Artpop in 2013. Dj Snake reached ultimate success in December 2013, when he unveiled “Turn down for what” in duet with Lil Jon, and after having accumulated more than 800 million views on Youtube, the track was certified as a platinum record in March 2014. After several other singles, the DJ returns in 2015, with the new summer hit “Lean On” featuring some with Major Lazer.  The title is a worldwide success. In July 2016, he released his first album Encore. On July 26, 2019, he released his second album Carte Blanche, which already included major hits such as “Taki Taki” and Loco Contigo. This event at the Stade de Côte d’Or will start from 9pm and continue until the early morning hours, opening with a selection of selected local artists who will be announced later.

The Aquatic Recreation Park in the east of Mauritius has finally reopened its doors. Since October 17, the Splash N Fun Leisure Park has been open to the public in Belle-Mare. Attractions include the Constrictor, Black Hole and Wave River, but also an adult pool. The public will also be able to enjoy “terrestrial” activities in a virtual game and 7D cinema room.Safety is a must, says Sugar Investment Trust, manager of the former Belle Mare Waterpark. Opened in 2000, the Waterpark closed in 2013. The reason was that the Sugar Investment Trust (SIT) had debts of more than Rs 2 billion. To relaunch it, there was a first attempt to find an investor, but in vain. As the infrastructure was already there and given the lack of leisure activities in Mauritius, the SIT decided to find the funds to revisit and reopen it. After 18 months of work for its restructuring, makeover and new attractions with White Water West as its promoter, the Splash n Fun Leisure Park opened its doors to Mauritians and tourists on Saturday 19 October 2019. The leisure center has old attractions that have been revisited. For example, thrusters have been added to the Wave River for more thrills. The Black Hole has also been revisited with neon lights and several slides have been added to please visitors. Children can take to the water in the Aqua Play, which boasts a magnificent and enchanting setting.The reopening of the Belle-Mare water park will not only offer Mauritians an affordable recreational activity, but will also boost economic development in the region through job creation. In addition, Mauritians and tourists will converge in large numbers, which will benefit local entrepreneurs. Rides are also available for those who don’t like slides and other water attractions. Other attractions will be unveiled at the end of the year – during the school and holiday season. For the public, a restaurant, a food court and four food kiosks have been set up.
