Chinese children always look forward to July when their two-month summer holiday begins. So what is there to do during the long holiday besides watching TV at home, sleeping until the noon or playing video games on computer? One would probably regret spending their time on such things during the holiday.

Want to make the holiday interesting and meaningful? Here are some tips.

Traveling around

The point of travelling is self-evident: it's good exercise, it can broaden one's vision, and can help one become more independent…A two-month-long holiday is envied by people who have started a career since they are no longer entitled to such long holidays. So just pack your bag, buy a ticket and start your journey. But for safety's sake, young children better remain in the company of adults.
