1.5h direct from Guangzhou to Chenzhou for a family trip! Few people, beautiful scenery, super healing

Hidden around Guangdong is a treasure family destination—Chenzhou! Just 1.5 hours by high-speed train, known as the "City in the Forest" for its "one mountain, one lake, one spring," with few people and beautiful scenery, perfect for a family vacation with kids~ Chenzhou has many stunning and fun attractions where the whole family can find joy: ✅ Dongjiang Lake: The misty and fairy-like Xiao Dongjiang, best viewed from April to October each year. Early morning, the lake surface steams like a "fairyland." Arrive at the scenic area at 6:30 am to watch fishermen cast their nets; kids will shout "Where are the fish?"—super cute. ✅ Yangtianhu Grassland: Over 1300 meters above sea level, with an average summer temperature of 20°C, known as the "Hulunbuir of the South." Kids can run, jump, fly kites, and even ride ponies (the park offers family riding activities). A perfect summer cool-down spot. ✅ Gaoyiling: A pristine Danxia landform scenic area, looking down from above like a dark green "Heavenly Pool." Walk the gentle trails with kids, show them the "red rocks and green water," and tell them "this is nature’s painting"—truly breathtaking. ✅ Feitian Mountain: Featuring both Danxia landforms and karst caves. Take kids into the caves to see "stalactites," shine a phone flashlight on them, and kids will marvel "like gemstones"—full of fun. ✅ Yuhou Street: The oldest street in Chenzhou, lit up at night like a "fairy tale town." Stroll with kids through snack stalls (try the sugar oil rice cake), sit by the river to enjoy the night view—super cozy. ✅ Chenzhou Paradise Hot Spring Resort Hotel: An excellent choice to stay close to nature! The guest rooms and villas are nestled in a mid-mountain bamboo forest. Kids can listen to birds in the yard and enjoy the hot springs (with a children's pool). The hotel combines hot springs, dining, and entertainment, all within 30 minutes by car to every attraction—super convenient. Accommodation tips: Besides Chenzhou Paradise Hot Spring Resort Hotel, we also recommend the Wyndham Grand Plaza Royale Chenzhou, which has a large children's play area and family rooms. The rooms are spacious, perfect for the whole family to rest well, and travel is convenient. ☑️ Perfect for Guangdong nearby trips, ☑️ summer vacation travel, ☑️ family trips! Few people, beautiful scenery, no crowds, letting kids fully connect with nature, experience traditional culture, and the whole family can have a great time~
