Image
There are some holidays that you enjoy for a few days and then gradually forget. Then there are journeys that stay in your heart forever. Our family trip to Singapore belongs to the second kind. Singapore had always been on our travel list, but this journey became far more special because it wasn't just my husband, my children and me travelling together. We were lucky enough to have our parents join us as well. We invited them to Singapore so that three generations of our family could experience this amazing country together. Watching my children spend quality time with their grandparents after years apart was probably the most beautiful part of our trip. The smiles, conversations, laughter and photographs we shared became priceless memories that no souvenir could ever replace. Singapore impressed us with its modern architecture, spotless streets, beautiful gardens, multicultural heritage and world famous attractions. Every day offered something new to discover.

In Beijing, you can find a wealth of history, both ancient and modern. In North East of central Beijing, there is a most famous landscaped garden with interesting traditional buildings, Summer Palace situated in Haidian District. It was an imperial garden in the ancient era for royalty. But today it is a retreat for everyone who travel busy and noisy Beijing environment.
