Who understands! Taking the kids to Liancheng and playing until you don’t want to leave!

I used to think traveling with kids was tiring and troublesome, until I went to Longyan Liancheng and realized that family trips can be so easy and joyful! I really have to rave about this hidden gem—fewer people than Xiamen, more kid-friendly than Wuyi Mountain, and once you go, you’ll be crazy about it! 💓 🚗【Family-Friendly Transportation】 We drove there ourselves, and driving within Fujian Province is super convenient with beautiful scenery all along the way. The kids weren’t bored in the car at all~ If you don’t want to drive, taking the train to Guanzhaishan Station or Guanzhaishan South Station is also very convenient, and it’s a short taxi ride to the attractions from the station! 📅【Two-Day One-Night Family Itinerary】 Day 1⃣: Guanzhaishan (easy hike with kids) → Liancheng County Museum (learn something new) → Qingshui Tianyi Hot Spring Resort (soak and relax) → Fairy Tale Town Park (kids’ happy paradise) → Qingfeng Valley Camping Base (stargazing) → Sijiaojing Cultural Park (watch free performances) Day 2⃣: Peitian Ancient Village (feel the history) → Tingzhou Ancient City (eat, shop, and play) This itinerary isn’t too rushed, the kids have fun, and adults can relax too~ 🌟【Must-Visit Family Attractions】 ✅ Guanzhaishan: Truly the top choice for hiking with kids! I recommend taking Route A. Start with a boat ride on Shimen Lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides; the kids get super excited sitting on the boat~ After getting off, the hike has almost no steep paths, and the key is the Carp Back trail has escalators! No more worries about kids getting tired and needing to be carried, and it’s easy for the elderly too~ Parents with good stamina can try Route B, but Route A is more comfortable with kids~ ✅ Qingshui Tianyi Hot Spring Resort: Soaking in hot springs after hiking with kids is amazing! There are over 80 hot spring pools to choose from, including herbal pools to relieve fatigue, fish therapy pools that make kids laugh out loud, and super moisturizing milk baths~ The highlight is the water park! With a surfing pool and water slides, kids can play there all afternoon and won’t want to leave! ✅ Fairy Tale Town Park: More than 20 non-powered facilities that kids love! The rainbow slide is so popular that kids go down it again and again, rock climbing challenges build courage, and fishing in the tidal pool keeps kids endlessly entertained~ Adults can join in too, making parent-child interaction super fun! ✅ Qingfeng Valley Camping Base: At night, sitting on the grass with the kids, chatting, listening to music, and looking up at the starry sky—kids pointing at stars and asking questions—these warm moments are truly unforgettable~ ✅ Sijiaojing Cultural Park: Don’t miss the free evening performances! Iron flower forging, fire breathing, fire pots, flying phoenix—each is super spectacular. The kids watch without blinking and keep clapping and cheering~ ✅ Peitian Ancient Village: Known as the “Folk Palace” with over 800 years of history, it’s minimally commercialized and very authentic~ Walking with kids on the bluestone paths, seeing old houses with nine halls and eighteen wells, listening to flowing water, and in summer, enjoying lotus-filled ponds is especially healing~ Kids can learn about the history of the ancient village, making it a great mix of play and learning! 🏡【Family Accommodation Recommendation】 We stayed at Qingshui Tianyi Hot Spring Resort, and the big bed room we booked had a private hot spring! After putting the kids to sleep at night, soaking in the private hot spring washed away all the day’s fatigue~ The room was spacious, making it easy for the kids to move around and sleep soundly! 🍜【Family Food Recommendations】 You must try the hotel’s buffet dinner! It has Chinese, Western, and Japanese cuisine, plus all the desserts and sushi kids love~ There’s also Liancheng’s specialty, Dengzhan Cake, crispy outside and tender inside, and kids can eat two at a time! The Hakka salted wine chicken is super flavorful with tender meat, loved by both adults and kids~
