April Adventures in Wonderland
A family hike is the perfect way to welcome spring
Sick of being trapped indoors? Couch potatoes, it’s time to get out for a taste of spring! In Beijing, the hiking season comes late and leaves early, so act fast to make the most of this not-too-hot, not-too-cool weather.
tbjkids spoke to the expert walkers that run Beijing Hikers and got some advice on hikes suitable for parents and kids. The following route is a good choice for a family outing:
The Ancient Cave Dwellings at Guyaju
The details:
This hike is in Yanqing County, a two-hour drive from the city. The walk itself should take about two to three hours, and should be doable with kids over 5 (the path is not suitable for strollers). The map here will get you to Guyaju Park, where the caves are located, and your entrance ticket to the park will provide you with a map of its grounds.
