A Perfect 5-Day Family Getaway in Beijing

Upon your arrival, your personal guide will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall at the airport or at the train station's exit. You will be escorted to a private vehicle with a professional driver for a comfortable transfer to your hotel, where your guide will assist you with the check-in process.

Begin your Beijing journey at Tian'anmen Square. As the world's largest urban public square, this iconic landmark is not only a symbol of the capital but also a must-visit destination for educational trips for Beijing's students.

Walking north from the square, you will enter the world-renowned Forbidden City. Beyond the main halls along the central axis, we will guide you to discover some hidden gems full of charm for younger visitors: the study hall where imperial princes pursued knowledge, the Archery Pavilion displaying ancient weapons, and the Hall of Clocks and Watches housing exquisite timepieces – all designed to spark children's curiosity. Climb to the top of Jingshan Hill for a breathtaking bird's-eye view of the magnificent Forbidden City, providing a perfect conclusion to this cultural exploration.

In the afternoon, dive into the authentic Beijing hutongs – those narrow alleys weaving between traditional courtyard homes. Visit a local family in a well-preserved quadrangle dwelling, where you can try your hand at the elegant art of Chinese calligraphy or the delicate craft of paper-cutting.

As a special highlight of the day, a Hanfu photoshoot experience is arranged. Dressed in flowing, elegant traditional attire, you can pose against the backdrop of ancient palaces and walls, capturing unique and memorable family portraits.

Begin your day at the Temple of Heaven, the sacred altar where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped heaven. Stroll through the park and observe local life in action: elders practicing tai chi, bird owners singing with their caged companions, calligraphers writing gracefully on paving stones using water and long brushes, and groups playing jianzi (kick shuttlecock). A tai chi master will be on hand to offer your family a lesson—join the locals and immerse yourselves in a typical Beijing morning.

Later, take a 1.5-hour drive to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall. Ascend by cable car, and your personal guide will accompany you along the wall, sharing historical insights and assisting with photos. Enjoy free time to explore the watchtowers and ramparts before your adventure continues with an exciting toboggan ride down.

Return to downtown Beijing in the evening and savor an authentic Peking roast duck dinner at a time-honored restaurant—a perfect ending to a memorable day.

Continue your Beijing journey with a visit to the Summer Palace and the Beijing Zoo—a perfect blend of imperial grandeur and natural wonder.

The Summer Palace once served as a summer retreat for the Qing imperial court, a serene landscape designed to escape the summer heat. You may choose to climb Longevity Hill or wander through the beautifully painted covered walkways, admiring the ever-changing views. Afterwards, board a dragon-shaped boat for a scenic cruise on Kunming Lake, offering a unique perspective of the Marble Boat and the Tower of Buddhist Incense reflected on the water.

In the afternoon, ignite the curiosity of young explorers at the Beijing Zoo. As a sanctuary for giant pandas and other rare species, it provides a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about wildlife conservation up close.

As evening falls, gather the family for an inspiring Kung Fu performance. Through a dynamic display of strength and grace, the show conveys not only physical skill but also the profound cultural spirit and discipline of Chinese martial arts—a memorable finale to another remarkable day.

On the final day of your journey, immerse yourself in Beijing’s most dynamic creative spaces.

Begin at the 798 Art District—a former industrial complex now transformed into a vibrant hub of contemporary art. Here, street graffiti, avant-garde installations, and independent galleries come together to ignite the imagination.

Then, step into the fantasy world of Pop Mart City Park. Take photos with life-sized Molly figures, wander through the floral wonderland of Dimoo Dream Garden, and explore a colorful universe of murals and limited-edition collectibles that rekindle a sense of childlike joy.

After this inspiring visit, your private vehicle will transfer you to the airport or railway station according to your schedule. Your personal guide will assist with check-in, ensuring you depart with cherished memories of Beijing.
