Places to Visit in Beijing

While you must have showed your kids the majestic Forbidden City and the Great Bell Temple, you should not forget the fact that kids expect some fun and frolic during their travel time and for them, merely visiting places of historical importance or architectural marvel, may not make much sense. Unless they are exhausted because of playing, running and doing something that relates to their age, they may feel, as you can imagine, all lost and may complain that Mom, something is missing! You must show them the architectural beauties but don't let them feel bored by not taking them to some places where kids can be themselves.
