Moscow
To explore the grandeur of Russia and ambience of the Soviet Union, Moscow would be on the top of your travel list. Being widely known as the birthplace of Russia, Moscow has witnessed how Russia developed from a small principality like Grand Duchy of Moscow to an empire with continents across Europe and Asia. Moscow Kremlin, the former imperial city and present seat of power, is where you can see the power of the empire in the olden days through the dazzling royal jewellery. Next to Moscow Kremlin, the grand Red Square brings you back to the Soviet days. Watching the army shouting out “Ура!” (huzzah), you will be impressed and spirited. The scene of vehicles carrying missiles one after another is like the missiles will be all launched once a button is pressed.
Apart from the magnificent Red Square and churches, Moscow is now full of new scenes. Unlike the frigid atmosphere in the past, Moscow has re-introduced herself to the world with a new look after the World Cup. Separated from “the Seven Sisters” by a river, there is the modern Moscow International Business Centre. More than half of the tallest buildings in Europe can be found here. With the determination of regaining national glory and turning Russia into one of the members of BRICS, Moscow elites, like the labour models in the communist era, devote themselves to work and the national economic development.
Going on a cruise on the Moskva River, you will be dazzled by the resplendent glamour of Moscow. Both sides of the river showcase how different architectural styles have been blended into the scenery – from classic Russian architecture, splendid Stalin-style buildings to modern edifices. The opulent underground palace and glittering lights on pedestrian streets further make colours pop in Moscow. The Bolshoi Theatre’s internationally renowned ballet performances add a hint of softness and more facets to the stout capital city.

光明节 | 10月28日
光明节是犹太人的一个庆祝光明的节日。每年十二月的圣诞节是普天同庆的日子,但犹太人到今日仍对主耶稣抱持拒绝的态度,与二千年前无异所以圣诞节对犹太人而言并无意义,他们也不感兴趣。犹太人虽然不庆祝圣诞节,但在每年与圣诞节相若的日子,郤有另一个节期,那就是圣经中的修殿节。
