Children’s Day is around the corner. It is more than a festival for children – it is also a day for parents to leave the office and find something interesting to do with their kids. It is also about nurturing relationships.

As for outings, nothing is better than bringing kids close to nature, and outdoor farms or a natural forest park are always top options. If you are one of those parents who never overlook any chance to feed your kids with knowledge, visiting museums will be the best policy. Or if your kids are really into games or playing with cartoon characters, then amusement parks can certainly suit your taste.

Here we recommend several places in Beijing which you may find useful when making travel plans for the upcoming Children’s Day.

1 Agrilandia Italian Farm

Located in Beijing’s Shunyi District, Agrilandia Italian Farm is the first Italian-style farm in China that features agritourism. There is a fruit orchard filled with apples, cherry, peaches, pears, plums and strawberries that can be picked for a small fee. Families who sponsor a tree can help themselves to all the pickings of the season. Its great suburban location ensures lots of room for the kids and dogs to scamper around in, as well as opportunities to tour the greenhouse where fresh fruit and vegetables are grown.
