WITH KIDS
The Wall with a toboggan run, pandas in the city, and a theme park that rivals any.
Golden roofs of the Forbidden City
Mutianyu Great Wall
The child-friendly stretch: a cable car up, a metal toboggan down, and restored battlements without Badaling's crush. Realistic from about age five.

Giant pandas in a dedicated house near Xizhimen, plus a separate aquarium inside the grounds. Cheap, big, and manageable in a single morning.

Booking, queues and steps
Nearly every site now needs an online reservation and a passport per person, children included. The Wall is all steps — carriers only, no pushchairs.
