Beijing
Why you'll love this trip
- Turn the Forbidden City into a treasure hunt: spot the nine sons of the dragon and four auspicious beasts hidden across the palace architecture.
- Toboggan down the Mutianyu Great Wall after a quiet cable car ascent — the single most kid-talked-about Beijing memory of the trip.
- Carve and sign your own miniature terracotta warrior in a countryside family workshop, minutes from the original 1974 excavation pits.
- Dye a carved leather puppet and step behind the curtain with a master to tell your own family's story through Chinese shadow puppetry.
- Day 8 is a full free day in Shanghai — Disneyland, a Ming-era water town, or shopping — preloaded by your guide based on the family's mood.
