China is a country of contrasts. The new and the old stand side by side as the most populated country in the world strives for modernization yet remains grounded in ancient history. A kid-friendly tour that hits the highlights is the best way to start your family vacation to China. The Great Wall is a must-see — the most popular section is only 50 miles from Beijing, where you’ll also discover the Forbidden City, the best preserved group of ancient buildings in China; and the Summer Palace, where a dragon boat rides awaits the kids. Other tourist highlights are the Terracotta Warriors in Xian, a cruise on the Li River, exploring caves in Guilin and pedaling through rice fields in nearby Yangshuo. Kid-friendly hotels in China vary widely from very basic accommodations to modern, upscale high-rises in the main cities. The options can be overwhelming; be sure to engage one of our travel Advisors to steer you in the right direction.

Our Happy Travelers
"Our Asian adventure has been wonderful so far. Loved Shanghai and loving Japan so far. The food has been amazing! We can't wait to come back here."

–Tullo Family Japan & China Trip

"We have only good things to say about our entire trip and the planning process. You are a dream to work with! I especially appreciated how you narrowed down my options for each decision, so I wouldn't be overwhelmed. I haven't worked with a travel agent before, but you really surpassed my expectations. We will call you first the next time we travel!"

–Caldeira Family Trip

"Overall the trip was incredible and I am so thankful to you for helping me plan it! We had such a good time and it was so well planned. I would love to use your services again for our next big adventure!"

–Millman Trip

"I couldn't be happier with my experience. Just talking with Cary gave me a baseline foundation to build on - one that I didn't have time to get from reading a guidebook and distilling it. I am not sure how I would have gotten this trip together without her help. I will definitely get in touch before our next trip!"

–Marks Family Trip

"We loved the trip. It was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation. We really enjoyed the resort and especially the room booked for us."
