Take Your Kids Away From Nintendo, and Towards the Orient This Summer

LONDON, March 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

- For its 10th Anniversary, Oriental Travel Company Offers Family Tours to China This Summer

The kids are home for the next 7 weeks but summer doesn't have to be sun, beach and anxiety all over again. The UK's leading China travel specialist The Oriental Travel Company is celebrating its 10th anniversary by organizing a fun, cultural, inspiring and educational summer tour for you and your family at an affordable price.

Unlike the high street tour operators who will escort you to endless numbers of souvenir shops and make you feel like travelling on Pirates of the Caribbean, Oriental Travel is confident that no competitor can outdo their fun-packed family activities: fly handicraft traditional Chinese kites on Tiananmen Square, learn how to cook with fresh market food, exercise your mind and body with Tai Chi, meet cute pandas at the world's primary breeding sanctuary, picnic on the Great Wall and shop till you drop in one of the most famous ex British colonies, Hong Kong. There is a bit of everything for everyone in the family.

The idea of travelling to China with your family was once an unusual one. These days with sufficient planning, you and your kids are able to share your travel experiences with friends (left behind) in the UK through Twitter and Facebook from a once-upon-a-time far-away place.
