ALA VACATION TOGETHER: 6 DAYS OF FUN IN BEIJING

25 – 30 Aug 2026 · Beijing, China · 3 min read

This 25 - 30 August, the Alex Lim Advisory leaders travelled from Singapore to Beijing for #ALAVacationTogether. After a year of hard work on the ground, it was our time to step away from showflats and viewings and simply enjoy the journey together as one team.

It was truly an unforgettable trip. We stood in wonder on the Great Wall, walked through the grandeur of the Forbidden City, got a glimpse of the future with AI robots and shared more Peking duck than any of us can count.

The wonder of the Great Wall

Climbing the Great Wall together was a moment none of us will forget. New and seasoned leaders took the same steps, cheered each other at the watchtower and stopped for plenty of photos along the way. Conquering the Great Wall encompasses our spirit of winning together.

History, then the future

From the grandeur of the Forbidden City and Tiananmen, we went from centuries of history to a glimpse of the future, to meeting AI robots up close. As a team which believes in innovation, seeing how fast technology is moving gave us plenty to talk about the future of AI for our business.

Exploring Beijing together

Between the big sights, we explored the Temple of Heaven, strolled by the lake at the Summer Palace and even braved the rain for a team photo at the CCTV Headquarters. Every stop came with laughter and many candid moments we shared.

Endless Peking duck

Some of the best moments happened around the dinner table. From bronze hotpots to endless Peking duck, leaders caught up, new conversations were made and every evening ended with laughter and stories from the day.

The team cheering at dinner — The first of many Peking ducks at Siji Minfu (四季民福) and many more tables of laughter after.
