Get done with breakfast and be ready to explore the wonderful city of Beijing with a private tour guide. Your kids are going to love the first day of this ultimate China vacation for families.

Start with the Tiananmen Square, world’s largest of its kind. Explore it all and then proceed to Egg - National Performing Arts Center and get a view of the modern exterior. Though you need not to hurry but in case you want to explore more in less, do pace up a bit and reach your next destination which is the Forbidden City of China. Here, the imperial palaces and monasteries await you with a picture-perfect backdrop. After this, you can opt to visit Beijing’s famous lanes( also known as Hutongs) and traditional family courtyards. If you are good at interacting, do visit the home of a local resident to hear their life stories.  Return to your hotel safely before the dark for the dinner.

Day 3: Visiting the Temples of Beijing

Wake up early in the morning for a temple visit day in Beijing. If you want to feel the temple in its purest form, wake up early and visit it in the early morning to hear the Taichi performed by local people. They do it along with some other exercises in the well-maintained parks. After breakfast, continue walking to the lively Panjiayuan Market. It is often bustled with buyers and vendors who bargain hard over antiques, furniture, accessories, traditional arts, and crafts. If you like some of their produces, do buy them to keep it as a memory of this China vacation trip. For lunch, you may either return to your hotel or satisfy your hunger cramps in the nearby Chinese Restaraunt. The choice is yours.

If traveling with kids, make sure they are grown up enough to complete the excursion.

The rugged and scenic beauty of this place will capture your attention. When feeling tired, stop by small mountain village for lunch. You will meet some local people there.
