The tbjkids June/July special double issue is out! And just in time for the summer travel season. If you haven’t made plans already, check out our list of 25 must-see places for families to visit in China. But don’t take our word for it – Beijingers share useful pointers, and their family photos too! Featuring cosmopolitan cities, desert expanses, ancient capitals, tranquil temples, sandy beaches and mountain landscapes in just about every corner of China, you’ll be sure to find the perfect vacation destination to suit your family.

For those planning to embark on that long flight home, this month’s Spotlight column will give you some invaluable tips about lasting the plane ride with young ones. And before you leave, check out this month’s Kid Craft on how to make your own memory game – a sure way to keep the kids occupied so parents can squeeze in a nap.

It's amazing to think, but tbjkids is a year old! From humble beginnings, they've grown, matured and expanded to become the unstoppable family magazine that they are today. They couldn't have done it without a lot of help and this weekend they've invited readers to come and join them at American Steak and Eggs for a celebration. Unfortunately, registration for the event has already closed.

For those who missed out on the event, you can still grab a copy of the March issue of tbjkids and meet some of Beijing's exceptionally bright kids, learn about China's historic examination system, and begin preparing your kids for college. Also, get outdoors and soak up the sunshine while learning about aerodynamics with model airplanes, spend an organic afternoon in the green and pleasant groves of Agrilandia, or discover the hidden gems in Panjiayuan – one of Beijing's oldest antique markets.

It’s time to put on that fancy suit, laugh loud and dig deep for a good cause. The St. George’s Day Dinner is hitting the Beijing scene on April 28 at The Westin Beijing Chaoyang. This year, the proceeds will go towards Care for Children (an English charity dedicated to finding foster homes for orphaned children) as well as Little Flower (an independently funded hospice which offers long-term intensive care and medical treatment to sick and chronically ill Chinese children). We asked co-founder Martin Budzinski to clarify who exactly is St. George and why dinners are sometimes better than balls.

China ClubFootball and the Beijinger are both a little over ten years old. Only ClubFootball can claim that they've been making people healthier during that time. Until now that is. We've teamed up with ClubFootball to enter a team into their new 5-a-side league and we're looking for players. All of our readers are welcome to join. No matter what your standard is there's a place for you on the team.  Read on to find out how you can get your football for free.

China ClubFootball and the Beijinger are both a healthy ten years old, but only one of us can make any real claim to be healthy. ClubFootball has been at the forefront of Beijing grassroots football – getting the city's men, women and children, both local and foreign, to play the beautiful game. Meanwhile, we've been encouraging you to go to bars and restaurants. One nil to ClubFootball. The spring season of their Men's 5-a-side Leagues kicks off next month and they are looking for new teams and individuals to sign up.
