Forbidden City in Beijing! Must see
Natalie
Yes it's part of our tour. What about summer palace? Did you go there?
Lisa
Natalie Tabakman Yes, that too. There is an area where you can get all sort of nice food, kinda like a hawker street, I just can't remember the name since I went to Beijing back in year 2009. You may ask the locals once you reach there.
Lisa
Hong Kong - if you like food and browsing thru night markets. Ladies Market and Temple street are the places to go. They are easily accessible using MTR (skytrain)

Aha! I remember now. It's called Wangfujing

All of the food in Beijing! Hit up the hutong area. Stuff your face! Summer palace, imperial palace. Be sure to ride the subway, just incredible technology. Enjoy!

The zoo in Singapore is really nice. They also have a night safari. Sentosa island is beautiful. Don't waste your money on the Singapore flyer. I wasn't impressed. Merlion park is cool. Tons of shopping. The temples are amazing. Worth the trip to go into. Little India you will find a million and one jewellery stores. And their skytrain goes to everywhere around the country.

Going to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Beijing in June. Not a lot of time in each place...only two days. What are the must see attractions? Already know about the Marina Bay Gardens in Singapore and Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. Also have a tour booked for the Great Wall in Beijing. Any other recommendations would be great, including good food places.
