China Vacations

When most people consider a family vacation, they think of theme parks, camping trips, and long hours in the car. But if you want to expose your children to something that will leave a lasting impact and widen their horizons, a China family vacation might be just the ticket. But what is there for the family to do in China? More than you can imagine, really.

For the kids, there is plenty to do in China. While they may not understand the language or the cultural significance of the differences, children will enjoy the leisure activities offered in China. From pro-level baseball and basketball games featuring home-grown Chinese talent, to the elegant and graceful Chinese ballets, there are visual wonders everywhere. Children will also likely be amazed by the spectacle of the dragon boat race festivals, which include exciting boat races, unique cultural displays, and many other visually impressive and culturally meaningful events.

For the parents, the architecture of China can be a very strong draw. From the temples to the simplest buildings, Chinese architecture is so different and so beautiful that visitors cannot help but stop and stare. While Western architecture tends to build their structures tall and narrow, Chinese buildings are shorter and wider, and usually, much more ornate than visitors are accustomed to. No better example of this exists than the Forbidden City complex in the heart of Beijing. Here, the intricate and detailed planning that went into the design of a city within a city will astound even moderate fans of good design, and completely overwhelm those who understand the intricacies of architectural design.

For the whole family, there are plenty of amazing and educational sights to discover together, like the Great Wall of China; amazing restaurants to try, for the bold and for those who crave something simple; markets and shopping that are at once comfortably similar to home and wildly different than anything ever experienced before; the remaining buildings from the Olympics Games to inspire and awe; and so  much more.

A China family vacation might not be the most popular choice going in, but if you can convince your family to give it a shot, it will likely become the best vacation you have ever taken as a family, and one that you will talk about for the rest of your lives. China offers something for every member of the family, no matter what their interests are.
