Let's Eat in Beijing
An absolute family favourite of ours, this is a local, true, authentic Beijing Pekking duck restaurant. We come here for our fortnightly duck dinners with other expat friends, and the kids love the duck carving and duck! Try their version of sweet &a...
Dayali Roast Duck (Houshayu) - Beijing Restaurants
We love eating here! They have an awesome array of craft beers, cocktails and most of all delicious food. Try the Fish'n Chips! Our daughter loves the kids spaghetti, it's a favourite on a Friday night.
COMMUNE.X Beijing
Sometimes you just want good ol' familiar food! I love coming to the Cheesecake Factory and so does our daughter. Located right in the middle of Wangfujing, it's easy to have an excellent meal everyone will eat and then walk that meal off down one of...
The Cheesecake Factory 芝乐坊餐厅
Wow! Look at that, in Beijing
The best park in Beijing, to truly understand the layout of the city. This park is located behind the Forbidden City and has one of the very few hills in this flat land. Climb to the top (easy walk for all ages) and admire the sheer size of what once...
Jingshan Park, Beijing – The Royal Garden to Overlook Forbidden City
We love this park, and currently (winter) you can ice skate on the lake. This is at least a half-days visit, with lots to explore. Head on over to the island to checkout the bell tower, an awesome place for kids to run around.
Beihai Park - Beijing
This is a great museum for kids. It is gigantic, with plenty of interactive activities around the history of the Grand Canal (which runs from Beijing in the north to Hangzhou in the South). It's excellent for kids to explore, but is mostly in Chinese...
The Grand Canal Museum of Beijing（北京大运河博物馆）
Family & Kid Fun
If you’ve got a few hours to kill on layover at Beijing Capital AirPort and kids to entertain, then this local reccommendation is the place to come! 15mins by taxi (or Didi) from the airport (the runway is right behind it, thats how close it is) this...
Guanto Family Sports Center Tianzhu Flagship Store
If you're got some restless kids who are tired of seeing the great wonders of Beijing, treat them to a fun day at MELAND Club. This indoor playground is AMAZING! Compared to other indoor playgrounds we have back in New Zealand, this one will keep the...
MELAND CLUB Beijing, Ginza Harmony Plaza

A little off the beaten path, but worth the adventure!
This section of the Great Wall is less crowded than Badaling. Our go-to combo is to be there for 10am, catch the ski-lift to the top and immediately luge down (you’ll have the track to yourself which means no slowing down), then walk further up to ca...
Mutianyu Great Wall
This ancient water town, a little over an hour from Beijing City is the perfect place to see both history and the wonder in one go. Unlike the Mutianyu Great Wall location, the Simatai location has the added benefit of a water town nearby. We love vi...
Gubei Water Town and Simatai Great Wall, Beijing
