4 Days Beijing Family Tour with Kids Fun

Full Itinerary Day by day (Can Be Customized)

Day 1 Beijing Arrival

Ni Hao, welcome to Beijing, the iconic city as well as the capital of China!

You will be met by your local tour guide at the arrival hall of Beijing Capital Airport, or railway station, then be escorted to check in your hotel in downtown by a private comfortable vehicle. The rest of today is on your own to relax. If you want to explore nearby, feel free to get some practical suggestions from your tour guide.

Arrival Ideas: At present, there are many international and domestic flights to Beijing. Besides, you can take a high speed train to this capital city from Shanghai (5-6 hrs), Xian (5.5 hrs), Guangzhou (8-9.5 hrs), etc.

Day 2 Beijing (B,L)

After breakfast, start to explore the historical face of Beijing with a brief visit to Tiananmen Square which is now the largest city plaza in the world. Tiananmen Gate on the northern square was the site where the Chairman Mao announced the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Stepping into the Tiananmen, you will see one of the world’s 5 most important palaces – Forbidden City, a huge palace complex of more than 9,000 rooms where 24 emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties used to live in. Pass through various doorways to admire the magnificent and well preserved buildings decorated with yellow glazed tile roof, white marble base and splendid colorful paintings.

After Forbidden City exploration, take a short visit to Jingshan Park where you can get a nice shot of one watchtower of Forbidden City and take a panoramic view of Forbidden City.

In the afternoon, drive about 40 minutes to the outskirts of Beijing to spend an enjoyable time in Summer Palace, the largest and best-preserved royal garden in China. Stroll around ancient pavilions, mansions, temples, bridges and corridors. Then enjoy a boating experience on Kunming Lake which covers 75% of the entire size of Summer Palace. On the boat, you can view the fascinating landscape of the garden with slow pace.

Today’s journey will end with a delightful Kung Fu show at Red Theatre which is one of the kids’ favorite activities in Beijing. From this show, you can trace the history of Chinese Kung Fu and admire the actors’ skilled performance.

Day 3 Beijing – Great Wall (B,L,D)

After breakfast, drive to the imperial site – Temple of Heaven. It was originally used to pay homage to Heaven and pray for harvest, now becomes a bustling place for locals to take part in traditional activities, such as Tai Chi, dancing, water calligraphy, etc. 

Leave the city, and drive about 70km (about 1.5 h) to witness one of the Seven Wonders of the World - Great Wall. The less-crowded Mutianyu, a well-preserved segment of Great Wall built in Ming Dynasty, lives up to all of your nice expectation. You’ll take a cable lift to ascend the Great Wall, then hike the most beautiful and interesting part of Mutianyu. It's a wonderful experience to climb up its rising towers to enjoy scenic views and take brag-worthy photos of the wall wriggling along mountain ridges. After the sightseeing, descend Mutianyu Great Wall with an exciting and safe toboggan ride.

Next, drive back to Beijing City, and take a short stop at the Beijing Olympic Park to view the magnificent Bird’s Nest and Water Cube from the outside.

As for dinner, we prepare the flavorful dish of Peking Roast Duck which was established in 1864 during the Qing Dynasty. 

Day 4 Beijing Departure (B,L)

Today, you will visit Beijing Zoo, a must see with kids. It is famous for rare animals endemic to China, including giant pandas, red pandas, South China tiger, white-lipped deer, golden snub-nosed monkey, crested ibis, etc. Getting there in the early morning allows you to see the pandas all out eating and playing. Then, hop on a rickshaw to experience Beijing Hutongs - small alleys made of neighboring quadrangle dwellings. Shuttle among different Hutongs to feel the old Beijing life style, meet various antique shops and small boutiques, feel the historical changes of Beijing, and also pay a visit to a local family's home in the traditional Hutongs. After Hutong local family visit, you will be given a class of painting facial makeup for Beijing Opera at Hutong area. It’s also available to DIY a unique opera mask under the instruction of the local craftsman.

Hi Lyn,

Thanks. We really liked the tour. The itinerary and timing was perfect for us. The hotels were reasonable, especially the one on the mountain, which had great food in the restaurant.

I think maybe this hike was quite difficult for the guide, since our group likes to hike and we are all physically fit. I think maybe it has been a long time since he climbed the mountain, because of Covid-19 and no foreign tourists. And I think most people probably take the cable car up, but we like to use our own legs. Anyway, he did his best and was nice and helpful.

Regards,

Curtis

One day tour of Xi’an China

Having had a great experience using Chengdu Bamboo International Tours to explore the Yunnan province, we only felt it was right to do so a second time when touring Xi’an.

Our organizer Riley was extremely efficient and accommodating, linking us with Waldner, our tour guide in Xi’an. With an effortless decorum and compelling attitude, he took me to visit the Great Wall and the Muslim quarter on a half day expedition.

Then, one the second day, my husband and I went to see Emperor Qin’s Terracota warriors, the highlight of our trip!  An absolute must-see.

We enjoyed the explanations and funny antidotes Waldner shared along the way. He was timely and communicative, spoke excellent English and had a deep understanding of a history and culture so unique to our own.

We would definitely recommend this service to anyone looking to explore China.
