LAUD Architects staff enjoyed the company anniversary holiday in Hongkong/Shenzhen over a period of 4 days in October 2024.  The architectural sites, focus of the holiday trip, provided an insightful perspective to the buildings and monuments between traditionality and modernity to the structure and façade which are influenced by the colonial and post-colonial periods.  IM Pei & Museum + exhibitions revealed the talent, ingenuity and creative mind with deep passion for pioneering significant design blending with community and environment that resound well in his Life Is Architecture.  295 Tai Kwun with the former Central Prison Station, Central Magistracy and Victoria Prison give a glimpse to the space urbanization and development.  JC Cube stands in contrast to the historic building and prison halls shows the majestic and peaceful blending between the design of the old and the new.  Prison staff quarters at Staunton are converted into a hip marketplace, cafes and shops which attract people to find a good buy. Stepping into Xiuqi Centre, which is established for preserving and promoting Chinese opera rendered a grandeur experience.  Open spaces with circular concrete platform with high ceiling of unique circular design enables individual to feel relaxed and refreshed even resting and walking in the centre.  These are worthy sites for holidaymakers and travellers to see apart from the other tourist attractions as these buildings, monuments and museums present the life, history, development and growth of Hongkong. The company holiday trip to Hongkong/Shenzhen was made possible with the invaluable assistance from Chan Brothers MICE & Travel Pte Ltd. Our appreciation and compliment to May Loo, Senior Account Manager for her service and support which has been on time, never late or later. And Kenneth Lee, tour leader for his co-ordination of the actual trip with tour guides in Hongkong & Shenzhen, and care shown at the right time.

We had an enjoyable trip to Hong Kong from 4 – 7 Jan this year. We visited a few popular tourist sites, including M+ Museum and Sky 100. We even did a team building at TaiO, where we experienced the more rural part of Hong Kong, and it is a rather unique tourist site for us. We would like to extend our special thanks to the Hong Kong Tourism Board as well, who assisted in contributing to a more exciting trip for us, offering some tickets, souvenirs & calligraphy sessions during our dinner. Overall the experience is unforgettable and is definitely worth our visit.

We travelled to Hong Kong from 2-4 Jun 2023 and get to visit West Kowloon Cultural District, Hong Kong Palace Museum – an absolute must do in Hong Kong! We loved the Hong Kong cuisine, especially at the Sai Kung Seafood Street and Sham Tseng Roast Goose. We enjoyed shopping at Ladies Market and bought lots of local snacks from Maxim’s and Kee Wah to gift to family and friends. We really enjoyed ourselves and the team had established the team bonding objectives through this trip.

5D4N Taiwan Trip form 10th -14th Feb 2016: This time we really enjoy ourselves. Everyone is happy.

Dear Christie, Thank you for arranging our recent trip to Yunnan, 2-11 August 15. It was a wonderful trip and my members unanimously agreed that小单 is the best tour guide we have come across so far, after travelling on our overseas trips for many years. She is very professional and knowledgeable in her work, contributing much to the contents of our next new book 非一般的旅行 I would like to thank you for your excellent service once again and for hand picking小单 for this trip. Thank you very much.

The Beijing Trip is a great success! Thank you for taking care of our needs, especially the needs of the food. I heard the local tour guide, before every meal, warned the local restaurant not to use peanut oil, which has effectively ensured the safety of our students. Mr. Lim has also offered his help to our trip. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to say thanks to him at Changi airport as I waited a long time to get my luggage.

Hokkaido trip was really good! We had such great times and enjoyed ourselves so much. The heavy snow and unscheduled delay made it quite an adventure for us. You were right about the snowmobile ride, it was fun! And the scenery we get to experience was breath-taking! David was a real charm and such a  wonderful guide. We truly appreciate his great tips and accommodating to our every needs. My bosses were really happy too (though they don’t really like the long bus journey, the destination was worth it!). Hopefully we can get you to arrange our next trip for us next year. And thank you, Christie, for all your hard work and patience. We really appreciate it!

Thank you Christie very much for your excellent and fantastic service! You are really awesome! Really knowledgeable, efficient and caring! As one of the two tour guides for the 6days 5nights Borobudur Getaway, you and Willi have both served right from your hearts, and gone the extra mile. Especially would to say a million thanks to you for your constant care and patience in accompany me for my frequent visit rounds when Nature Calls. I have very fond memories of the time that we have spent together with the Foyer Buddhist Group from 16 Dec to 21 Dec 2014.

You have topped our Hokkaido trip with the most fun, everything was great, from itneraies, to good meals and comfortable hotels.  It is not a small achievement under any circumstances. All of us are really thankful to your great planning and co-ordination. The warmth and hospitality Mr Simon, Mr Thomas and the two friendly coach drivers showed brought joy and created atmosphere of sorts to this trip. Nevertheless, we greatly thank you Christie for your great job and made our Hokkaido trip wonderful and full of joys and excitements.

We have had a great time in Phuket over the weekends. To sum up our experience, the local tour guide was informative and helpful, the hotel was great with brand new facilities and sumptuous food. Most importantly, the 2 dinners were great places and serves excellent food. Thank you Michelle for all your assistance in planning this trip for us. Is great!
