Question
We are thinking of traveling to China and Hong Kong for 3 weeks at the end of March - begining of April. We are a family of 4, including two boys - oldest is 11, youngest is 6. Do you think kids that are naturaly curious and are used to traveling will find interest in a trip like this? Do you have any specefic tips on where to go with kids in China and Hong-Kong (not Disneyland).
Thank You.

Answer
Hi Yaron,
I have only been to HK few times. HK is a shopping paradise, though it does has some resorts worthy to pay a visit, some quiet islands with beautiful beach. You could get the information through their offical tourism bureau.

Otherwise, I don't know where exactly you like to visit in China,cause I am only familiar with Beijing. Though China is definitly a challenge for kids to travel,since it's infrastructures are not that well done,besides the sanitation contition sometimes is really a concern.

OK, further questions please don't hesitate to let me know.

Sincerely
