Interesting Things to Do in China with Kids

Planning a thrilling adventure with the kids? Look no further than a family trip to China. It’s crucial to ensure that this journey remains enjoyable and doesn’t turn into a stressful experience due to dull or unsuitable activities for children. Here are some exciting family-friendly activities that both you and your kids will absolutely adore.

Meet with Pandas

Pandas in Chengdu

Pandas in Chengdu

A visit to the giant panda bases is an ideal activity for individuals of all ages. Known for their undeniable cuteness, giant pandas never fail to captivate kids. The three panda bases located around Chengdu, often referred to as the “hometown of giant pandas,” are the best places to witness these adorable creatures. However, if your travel plans don’t include Chengdu, fret not! You can also find these lovable animals in zoos located in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong.

Explore the Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China

A visit to the Great Wall of China is an essential experience when exploring China, particularly for families. For a family-friendly hike, the gentler sections of the Great Wall near Beijing, such as Mutianyu, are highly recommended. Mutianyu is fully restored and offers a less crowded environment. After a rewarding hike along the wall, you can opt for a thrilling and exhilarating descent by taking the toboggan ride down. Glide down the smooth metal track on a one-man bobsled, adding an exciting and memorable conclusion to your Great Wall adventure.

Ride a Bike in the Countryside

Cycling in China

Cycling in China

In addition to marveling at the breathtaking tooth-like peaks and even embarking on a climb, Yangshuo offers a delightful opportunity to enjoy some cycling time with your children amidst the picturesque karst countryside. Renting bicycles is easy and highly recommended.

Leisurely biking through the serene rice paddies, fruit orchards, karst hills, and tranquil villages provides a captivating glimpse into the rural life of China. You can even visit local farmers’ houses and immerse yourself in the authentic rural experience. Capture memorable moments by photographing the scenic rice paddies, the charming old rural architecture, and the graceful water buffaloes swimming nearby. Engaging in conversation with the warm-hearted local residents, facilitated by your knowledgeable tour guide’s translation, adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.

Watch Shadow Puppetry and Paper Cutting

China Puppetry Shadow Show

China Puppetry Shadow Show

In China’s ancient capital, which holds the record for being the longest-standing, children can partake in age-old entertainments and crafts that date back over 2,000 years. Which child doesn’t enjoy the simple pleasures of creating moving shadows on a wall or engaging in paper-cutting activities?

Watching shadow puppetry can be a fascinating and unique experience for kids, offering a refreshing alternative to television entertainment. Moreover, you and your children can learn how to perform a Chinese shadow show yourselves, adding a touch of creativity and excitement to your time together.

Paper cutting, a beloved and widely practiced Chinese handicraft, is another engaging activity. It’s a craft that is easy to learn and allows kids to unleash their creativity. Using nothing more than a piece of paper and a pair of scissors, your children can master the art of creating intricate Chinese designs, resulting in impressive works of art.

An enchanting odyssey in Vietnam

Our 12 in Vietnam was an enchanting odyssey filled with love, discovery, and unforgettable moments. From the bustling streets of Saigon to the serene beauty of Halong Bay, every day brought new adventures and cherished memories. Your attention to detail and thoughtful arrangements of the honeymoon package enhanced our experience. It struck the perfect balance between cultural immersion, relaxation, and romantic moments. We left Vietnam with our hearts full of love and gratitude, knowing that this was a honeymoon to remember for a lifetime. Once again, thank you so much!

Love everything about this tour - from temples to parks to islands and beaches. Each destination has such unique beauty to explore, i probably took hundreds of pictures. Our tour guide is never hesitant to answer questions and support us all the time, it was overall a very lovely experience.

Great time!

It was a lot of fun to visit both countries! I wish i had more time to spend, but the itinerary IDC provided did ensure me the best experience in both Thai and Cambodia in such a short time. Food and accommodations were all amazing, especially at Phuket. Thank you Alex for the great help!

Food lover paradise!!

As a spicy lover i was so excited to try out Thai cuisine for the first time! Amazing flavors really, we were advised to spend time in local markets and sample various street foods, and it did not disappoint. One of my kids cant eat spicy food but she loves Thai desserts, i'd say there is something for everyone here. Love that IDC Travel included a Thai cooking class in the tour as well, being able to understand the ingredients and recipes behind the flavor we eat was a lot of fun to me. Of course the hotels and service are great too, much love to the IDC team for planning this trip for me!! :D

Still great, highly recommend!

We contacted Alex a few months prior to our travel to organise a private tour to the Northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Halong, etc). As we neared the date, we had to make some changes as pandemic has caused some changed on our travel plan. Alex is always very responsive and very flexible with our queries. Our trip was very well organised and everything went very smoothly. All the accomodation was booked according to our preferences. The driver and tour guide was very courteous and experienced. If I have to nit pick, I would probably say that the tour guide could do more with giving us more information about our activities. For example, when we did bike tour, it would be great if he warned us that we will be passing through the major road and sharing traffic with cars and trucks. Or how long the walking tour through the village going to be. Overall, we are very satisfied and I do think the tour is value for money, very well organised, and the staff are more than happy to cater for our needs.  

Beyond satisfied

We spent 15 days in traveling around Vietnam and Alex and his team organized a very well planned and detailed itinerary for us. Alex was very professional, very responsive and the tour guides were knowledgeable. Well done, thank you and kudos to Alex and the IDC team!

I found IDC travel online because of the good reviews, and after a day of inquiring, Sir Alex responded right away with a detailed itinerary tailored to our preference! He is very responsive and accommodating with our needs, especially during our travel. Our trip in vietnam was organised, smooth, and really enjoyable! Even the organization of the itinerary and payments went smoothly. Some few comments would be agreeing to the previous review, like having the tour guide give us advices/tips about maybe the weather, what to wear, what to expect during the tours or anything important to bring if necessary so we could prepare better in terms of outfit, what to bring, etc. The drivers are very nice, but it would be even better if they greeted/welcomed us once we arrive. One driver did not have proper signage so we were waiting for quite awhile. Nevertheless, Sir Alex listened to our concerns and came up with solutions right away. Overall, we are very satisfied and it was great value for our money too. We booked another tour with them for Thailand this August. We cannot wait to book with them again in the future.
