5-Day Family Trip to Arxan! Stay at Caoyuan Suji and Explore All the Highlights Without Any Disappointments

Who understands! Taking the kids to Arxan to stay at Caoyuan Suji, still savoring the memories after coming back‼️ 📍Arxan is really perfect for traveling with kids! Less crowded than Hulunbuir, quieter than Xilingol, and the grasslands from June to August are full of beautiful scenery—blue skies, white clouds☁️, rivers, hills, and forests. Every shot is a perfect family photo🖼️. Xiao Ye was happily jumping around the whole time~ This time we specially arranged a 5⃣️-day itinerary to cover all the must-see spots in Arxan and stayed at the amazing luxury wilderness scenic hotel [Caoyuan Suji], immersing ourselves in the romance of the grasslands. The family time was unforgettable~ 🏨 Recommended High-End Luxury Wilderness Hotel: 📍Caoyuan Suji’s location is incredible! It’s by the river valley of the Ulan Maodu Hangai Grassland, perfect for watching sunsets🌇 and the Milky Way🌌. There are five accommodations inside: Caoyuan River Valley Hotel, natrail・Jidi, Da Le Zhi Ye, Nanan Homestay, and Fei Niao Ji Homestay. We stayed at Caoyuan River Valley Hotel, the same as featured on "Set Off Now"! With a 270° view of the river valley, the Ulan River at sunset is stunning, and the Milky Way at night is breathtaking. Watching stars with kids is super healing~ 🚗 Family-Friendly Itinerary: D1: Arrive at Hailar Airport → Free time (no rush, let the kids adjust) D2: Hailar → Private Ranch (feed lambs, milk cows) → Arxan National Gate (experience the grandeur) → Arxan Train Station (check out the mini station🚉) D3: Full day at Arxan National Forest Park (leisurely stroll, let kids learn about nature) D4: Arxan → Bailang Peak (breathe in the forest air) → Dear Inn to feed deer (family interaction) → Horseback riding + mountain coffee (mom relaxes) → Caoyuan Suji (stay and enjoy the view) D5: Free time at Suji → Transfer to Ulanhot Airport (easy end to the trip) 🔥 Super Fun Wilderness Experiences: ✅ Feed tame deer at Dear Inn and take photos; the deer are soft and Xiao Ye loved it~ ✅ Feed lambs and milk cows at the private ranch, letting kids experience herder life firsthand, very rewarding~ ✅ Professional coach-led horseback riding, safe and secure; kids want to ride again after trying~ ✅ Enjoy mountain coffee on the grassland, savoring slow moments; moms can take a break too~ ✅ Luxury wilderness dinner at the river valley hotel, great atmosphere and delicious food, full of ceremony~ 🏞️ Must-See Scenery with Kids: ✨Arxan Heavenly Lake: A heart-shaped lake formed by a volcano❤️, with morning sea of clouds and mist, a popular photo spot, perfect for pictures~ ✨Tuofengling Heavenly Lake: Like an ancient tear💧 in the Greater Khingan Range, very unique scenery, great for kids to learn~ ✨Rhododendron Lake: Not hot in summer, rhododendrons🌸 bloom beautifully, lake views are great, very comfortable for hiking with kids~ ✨Shitang Forest: Asia’s largest volcanic lava landform, a wonder of the Greater Khingan Range, kids watch very attentively~ ✨Arxan Bailang Peak: Standing on the mountain looking over the forest sea and cloud peaks, the scenery is enchanting and the air fresh~ ✨Arxan National Gate: Looks very majestic, letting kids feel the strength of the nation~ Train Station: China’s smallest train station, looks like building blocks, kids find it super interesting~
