When Jessica first walked into the karst mountains of Guilin with her 70-year-old father and 8-year-old twins, the retired geography professor touched the 300 million-year-old sedimentary lines on the rock wall with trembling fingers, while the children were learning to steam rice in bamboo tubes with the Dong grandmother in the rice fields at the foot of the mountain. Such scenes are the unique charm of China as a multi-generational travel destination.
In the ancient village of Nuodeng in Yunnan, you will meet the Bai people making ham by the salt well. The elderly can sit by the thousand-year-old salt well to listen to the story of the caravan, the teenagers can participate in the ham pickling workshop guided by the intangible cultural heritage inheritors, and the most picky little eaters will be excited about the freshly baked rose flower cakes. The family homestay here does not exceed US$50 per night, but it provides a more authentic cultural immersion than the Kyoto courtyard.
The parent-child interaction area of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum hides unexpected surprises. When three generations of grandparents and grandchildren work together to complete the assembly of the solar robot, grandparents will be surprised to find that this "ancient" country in their impression is redefining family interactive education with the most cutting-edge technology. The Western dining area in the museum allows children who are not used to Chinese food to find familiar food.
Among our China private tour guides, there is a Beijing girl named Wang Mei who speaks five dialects. Last year, she helped the Thomas family achieve a cross-generational dialogue in the Fujian Tulou （Earthen Ancient Building）- the American grandfather communicated with the Chinese centenarian using Go and whiskey, while the two mixed-race children played hide-and-seek with local children in the courtyard of the Tulou. This kind of humanistic connection beyond sightseeing is the unique value accumulated by CET in its 26 years of deep cultivation in China's tourism.
From the "safe eating passport" specially made for children with allergies to the elderly-friendly special car equipped with emergency medicine, we understand every anxiety point of cross-border parent-child travel. The choice of 2.6 million family tourists proves that China still maintains an attractive cost-effectiveness today when the cost of traveling in Asia is soaring - in Suzhou, the per capita consumption of a Michelin-recommended local dish is only one-third of that of a restaurant of the same level in Tokyo.
This summer, let us help you plan a Great Wall hike without language barriers, a nostalgic trip to "Shanghai Beach" that allows your ancestors to relive their youthful memories. When your children make rubbings of murals in Dunhuang, and when your parents experience the British butler-level silver-haired service in a teahouse in Chengdu, you will understand why Lonely Planet rated us as "the most suitable Asian travel expert for Western families."
