Child-friendly beach destination

If you're looking for a beach where you can take your whole family, I suggest you try Beidaihe in Hebei Province. Beidaihe has shallow waters where children can safely swim. Beidaihe is also a birding paradise and rich in vegetation, caves, hiking paths, ornate pavilions, and winding bridges. There are plenty of restaurants and hotels around that may be suitable for your budget.

You can reach Beidaihe by riding an express train from Beijing to Qinhuangdao. The trip usually takes three hours. The fare is Y75, while the train schedule is 7:30 am, 8:30 am, 2 pm, and 7:45 pm. From Qinhuangdao, there are many buses to Beidaihe. The fare is Y2, and the trip takes about 30 minutes. For more information, visit this link:
