Top 5 China Travel Tips for Family with Kids
With its rich historical and cultural heritage and colorful natural scenery, China is a popular choice for family trips. Here are 5 travel tips for China family tours.
Travel Destination
When choosing a destination, the interests and needs of family members need to be considered. For families with small children, it is important to choose a location that is suitable for children’s activities. Historical cities such as Beijing, Xi’an and Luoyang are popular for learning about Chinese history and culture.
If you want to enjoy the natural scenery with your kids, you can choose to plan Huangshan tours. You can enjoy unique natural landscapes in Huangshan Mountain, such as strange pines, weird rocks and sea of clouds. Yunnan tour is also an excellent choice for family tour. You can enjoy the beauty of Blue Moon Valley there, or explore Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to admire the magnificent snow mountain scenery.
Transportation
Depending on the distance to the destination, the age of the family members and the ease of travel, choose the appropriate mode of transportation. Longer trips may lend themselves to the flexibility of self-driving, while shorter trips can be made with public transportation. Book your transportation in advance to ensure more choices and better prices.
When traveling with children, give priority to convenient and comfortable transportation. For example, airplanes or high-speed trains are usually faster and reduce fatigue during travel. If you choose a chartered bus trip, it is recommended to stop and rest in the middle of the trip, so that children can avoid the discomfort caused by a long time sitting in the car.
Accommodation
It is important to choose a hotel or bed and breakfast that is suitable for families. Many hotels offer family rooms or connecting rooms for easy childcare. Try to choose accommodations that are close to tourist attractions and easily accessible to minimize unnecessary travel. During popular tourist seasons, booking in advance can avoid price hikes and tight accommodations.
Learn about the Cultural Activities
Before you leave, it is advisable to delve into and research the special activities and attractions of your destination. This not only enriches your trip, but also allows you to experience the local culture and life in greater depth. Try to find and experience those exciting specialties, cultural events and festivals to add more fun to your family trip.
You can visit non-heritage attractions and non-heritage experience tours, such as strolling through lantern festivals, temple fairs, and enjoying folk songs and dance performances. Participate in local folk activities such as making traditional handicrafts, learning local opera, and taking part in festivals.
Plan Your Diet
China has many cuisines and each place has its own food specialties. You can learn about local restaurants and specialties in advance and pick a dining place that meets your family’s tastes. It is necessary to choose a restaurant that suits your child’s taste or bring some simple food by yourself.
