So I think traveling is a superb way for us to companion each other, and also helps us communicate more. We, as a whole family, need to know each other's feelings. Otherwise, we don't even know how to help handle it when something goes wrong.

• Among the places you've traveled before, which impressed you most?

On the other hand, the bustling Nanjing Road with so many malls is also the highlight. yeap,the Oriental Pearl Tower,
