Checking in to Beijing with kids, this guide is a lifesaver for moms!

Finally unlocked the capital Beijing with the kids during summer vacation! 🔥 Who says traveling with kids means back-breaking exhaustion? This time, 7 days and 6 nights packed with culture + technology + fun, the kids didn’t want to leave, and this mom was thrilled! 😍 Here’s the ultimate guide & pitfall avoidance tips for you 👇 Trip core: Cultural foundation + fun interludes + balance of work and rest DAY 1: First encounter with the imperial city, hutong treasure hunt Arrive in the afternoon, stay at a courtyard guesthouse near Qianmen/Nanluoguxiang (kids love it! Experience old Beijing charm) Evening: Stroll and eat at Qianmen Street (candied hawthorn and old Beijing zhajiang noodles arranged!) + feel the old brands at Dashilan DAY 2: In-depth Forbidden City tour, be a “little prince/princess” for a day The Palace Museum is the highlight! Lunch: Forbidden City Ice Cellar Restaurant (a novel experience) Afternoon: Climb Jingshan Park’s Wanchun Pavilion for a breathtaking panoramic view of the Forbidden City! DAY 3: Not a true hero without the Great Wall! Kid-friendly version Chose Mutianyu Great Wall! Fewer crowds, beautiful scenery, cable car up for easy effort, slide down with kids screaming in delight! (Much better experience than Badaling!) Evening back to city: Check out the night view of Bird’s Nest + Water Cube (just the exterior, kids love the lights) DAY 4: Study mode on! Explore the Science and Technology Museum Spend the whole day at China Science and Technology Museum’s Children’s Playground + main exhibition hall! So many interactive projects to play with, aerospace, robots, human body mysteries… kids don’t want to leave! Don’t miss the dome theater! 🔭 DAY 5: Leisure in the royal garden & first taste of national essence Morning: Row a boat on Kunming Lake at Summer Palace, picture-perfect like a painting! Walk the Long Corridor and tell stories. Afternoon: Old Summer Palace (Western-style ruins, strong historical education, prepare in advance) Evening: Experience Beijing flavor at Lao She Teahouse (watch shadow puppetry/drink big bowl tea, kids watch with great interest) DAY 6: Travel through ancient and modern & study pilgrimage Morning: National Museum (Ancient China Hall is a must-see! National treasures gathered, book guided tour in advance) Afternoon: Temple of Heaven Park (see the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, play sound games at the Echo Wall, kids super excited!) (Optional for school-age kids: Check in at Peking University/Tsinghua University gates, plant a little seed 🌱) DAY 7: Wrap up with shopping, return fully loaded Afternoon: Return flight ✈️ 💖 Summary: Beijing is really perfect for family trips! The scenes from history books come alive, the charm of technology is touched firsthand, kids’ horizons and knowledge grow rapidly! Although walking 20,000 steps a day, seeing the kids’ sparkling eyes makes it all worth it! ❤️ ------------------------------ For more details, click the link below 👇 ------------------------------
