Starting in Beijing, Wendy Wu’s Discover China Family Tour takes in a walk on the Great Wall, built by the first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, more than 2,000 years ago (how’s that for a history lesson?), the Summer Palace, the Marble Boat and a lesson in making and flying traditional Chinese kites.
Journeying on to Xi’an, the tour visits one of the most important archeological discoveries of the 20th century, the Terracotta Army, where younger travellers can sculpt their very own warriors. After a Chinese calligraphy class, you fly on to Chengdu, home of the giant panda.
