Family Tours with Kids

China is large and incredibly diverse, so your family can expect to enjoy many unique, local experiences. We can create a custom trip that contains activities that interest your kids. The following activities are most recommended for China family vacations:
Beijing

• Watch a kung fu show
• Paint a Peking Opera mask with facial make-up
• Visit a cricket trainer in the hutongs

Xi'an

• Cycle on the Ancient City Wall
• Make a small terracotta warrior
• Take a calligraphy class
• Make dumplings in a local family's home

Chengdu

• Be a panda volunteer

Yangshuo

• Cycle in the picturesque countryside
• Learn traditional Chinese painting

Shanghai

If you travel with infants or toddlers, avoid the cold winter (December, January, and February) and the hot months of summer (July and August). However for teenagers, just go when you can and make good preparations. China awaits you all year round.

We usually pick hotels that have safe and good locations, facilities, and English-speaking staff. There is a range of accommodation that you can choose from to match your tastes and budget, including apartment hotels. Depending on your needs and availability, we can arrange king rooms with an extra bed, adjoining rooms, and connecting rooms for you.

Yes, we can arrange a family visit for you, which includes making home-cooked food with the local family. You can visit the local market to select ingredients, try your hand at making traditional Chinese food such as dumplings and hand-stretched noodles, and finally enjoy your own creation. It will be an amazing experience you'll always remember.

The safety of the client is our top priority. Activities included in our family tours are mostly centered on children and have been tested by thousands of family travelers. There are no dangerous elements in our tours. There would be some walking involved but usually no more than 2 hours. You can just talk with your guide anytime your kids need a rest. In addition, since our tours are privately guided and tailor-made, your guide and driver can focus on and take good care of you and your family during the tour. The itinerary is highly flexible; your guide can help adjust it when necessary. For example, if any of your family members feel uncomfortable, we can alter the itinerary for them to take a good rest. In short, you will be in the safe hands of the Odynovo team no matter what happens along the way.
