BEIJING, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- For travelers looking to have some winter fun in Beijing this season while visiting the site of recent Olympic glory, the Bird's Nest Olympic stadium will be converted into a "Happy Snow World". As a country of mainly one child families, the Chinese rarely miss a chance to show their kid a good time, and this is another classic example.
Happy Snow World is open from December 19th to February 20th and includes a variety of winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, winter games and skating. There will also be performances and a scenic area.
The China Guide ( http://www.TheChinaGuide.com ), a Beijing based travel company, is happy to include a stop at "Happy Snow World" as part of a Beijing private tour. With their own children to entertain in Beijing, The China Guide staff are experts at what Beijing has to offer the little ones.
"We do a lot of family tours and are always on the lookout for the most exciting things China has to offer foreign visitors. Family travel is not the same as group travel, we keep the schedules flexible and do things the local Chinese do with their kids. It offers foreign children the chance to mix with Chinese children, who are always interested to meet and play with them," comments Judy Huang, travel manager of The China Guide.
Along with Happy Snow World, Beijing has many kid friendly options during the winter. One favorite activity is skating on Houhai Lake. Families can spend an afternoon on the ice and then stroll the Houhai neighborhood which is lined with boutiques, cafes and vendors. This can also be done in conjunction with a hutong tour, rickshaw ride or dumpling making class.
The China Guide also suggests a day of skiing at one of Beijing's nearby hills such as Nanshan or Jundushan Ski Resort. Skiing comes complete with equipment and suit rentals at an inexpensive rate.
Families traveling through out China in the winter season are also recommended to visit the Harbin Ice & Snow Festival: http://thechinaguide.com/harbin/index.html
