I recently took a one-day tour in Beijing with my kids, and it was nothing short of amazing! We visited Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and the Summer Palace, and I can honestly say it was a day to remember.

Starting at Tiananmen Square, my kids were in awe of its sheer size and the iconic landmarks around us. They loved hearing stories about the historical significance of the place, and I could see their eyes widen as we stood in front of the giant portrait of Chairman Mao. It was a perfect introduction to China's rich history.

Next, we explored the Forbidden City, and wow, what a sight! The architecture is stunning, and the colors are so vibrant. My children were fascinated by the tales of emperors and princesses. We took tons of pictures, and our guide, Lliy, was fantastic at keeping the kids engaged with fun facts and stories. She even had them guessing what some of the buildings were used for, which really sparked their imagination.

Afterward, we visited the Temple of Heaven, and it was just breathtaking. The park surrounding it was so peaceful, and my kids enjoyed watching people practice Tai Chi. Lliy encouraged them to join in, and it turned into a memorable moment for us all. They felt like they were part of the local culture, which was so cool to see!

Finally, we made our way to the Summer Palace. The beauty of the gardens and the lake took our breath away! We took a boat ride, and my kids couldn’t stop smiling as they pointed out all the beautiful landscapes. Lliy shared some incredible stories about the emperors who once strolled through these gardens, making the whole experience even more magical.

Throughout the day, Lliy’s energy and enthusiasm made a huge difference. She was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure to check in with the kids to see if they were enjoying themselves. Her ability to connect with them made the tour even more enjoyable. By the end of the day, my children were buzzing with excitement and couldn't stop talking about all the amazing things they had seen.

Overall, this one-day tour was not just educational but also incredibly fun for my family. If you’re looking to explore Beijing with kids, I highly recommend this tour—especially with Lliy as your guide! We left with our hearts full and unforgettable memories.
