OUT Family Adventures are designed for families only (ie. at least one parent or legal guardian and at least one child). Minimum age for children is 6 years old, maximum is 17 years old.
See 2,000 years of civilisation come to life: climb the Great Wall, explore the Forbidden City and visit the stoic Terracotta Warriors. See Chinese acrobats, cycle through the countryside and interact with the friendly locals. With great activities for young and old, this adventure will change the way kids look at history and leave everybody wanting to see more of China.
There is so much to see in Beijing and so many ways to see it. Hire a bike and join the locals as they ride through the city, or shop in the intricate maze of markets. Jump on a rickshaw for a tour of the old style alleyways and courthouses of the hutongs. Catch a performance by Beijing acrobats, pace across Tiananmen Square and explore the imperial Forbidden City. Then it's time to stroll the incredible Great Wall of China. Built to keep out the 'barbarians of the north', the wall rises high on mountain ridges and stretches for over 6,000 km.
Visit one of the 20th century's greatest archaeological sites. For 2,000 years, the eternally vigilant Army of Terracotta Warriors guarded the ancient imperial necropolis in Xi'an. Escape the hustle and bustle of the streets in the serene Great Mosque, watch the sunset from atop the enormous city walls and nibble on delicious food from the evening markets. The mornings, when locals are out exercising en mass, are a great time to wander around the parks. Join in, make some friends and learn some tai chi or even ballroom dancing moves.
Thousands of towering limestone peaks rise from lush surroundings in this picturesque region of southern China. Explore the magical countryside by bike, learn the craft of Chinese cooking, try your hand at calligraphy or take a boat ride along the Li River as it winds between the mystical peaks, each with its own evocative name.
Vibrant Hong Kong is jam-packed with things to do - take a tram up Victoria Peak for panoramic city views, enjoy a harbour cruise or explore the excellent interactive museums. There is an option to visit the nearby Ocean Park and Disneyland or head over to Stanley Market to pick up some silk or handicraft mementos of this fantastic Chinese experience.

Most of our trips require a compulsory local payment, which is part of the contract with you (the customer) and OUT Adventures. This amount is the final payment for your trip and is to be paid in the specified currency, in cash to your leader upon arrival. The local payment is non-refundable, and is considered part of the total trip payment.
It is expensive to transfer funds to many countries - so by making a Local Payment you help us keep your costs low.
The Local Payment is used for paying for local services such as hotels and transport.
No, as the money is used to pay for local services these cannot be paid elsewhere.
