Just came back from Chongzuo! These 3 pitfalls made me lose sleep... (with blood and tears strategy)

Who among my family members understands? Before taking my kids to Chongzuo Lisi, I thought it was a niche secret place, but it turned out to be more landmines than karst mountains! I wrote this "reverse planting" strategy with tears in my eyes, and then decide whether to go after reading it👇 🏞️ Pitfall 1: The outdoor swimming pool that is so beautiful that you lose sleep The promised "relaxing vacation" does not exist at all! The kid went crazy when he saw the infinity pool hanging over the Mingshi River. He soaked in the water for 6 hours every day and refused to get up. His mother was sunburned... What's even worse is that the pool reflected the starry sky at night. The whole family was still counting shooting stars at 1 a.m., and the next day they all rode bicycles with panda eyes (Mingshi countryside cycling is beautiful but it's expensive) ✅Guide to avoiding pitfalls: Bring three bottles of sunscreen! Put a long-sleeved swimsuit on your baby! The swimming rings will be confiscated before 9pm! 🐒 Pit 2: Monkey King Contest I spent 388 yuan to visit the White-headed Langur Sanctuary. I thought it would be a peaceful time to watch monkeys, but what happened was that a 5-year-old cub and a wild monkey king had a "banana battle"! The little ancestor couldn't win over the real monkey king and burst into tears. In the end, three bags of dried fruits were used to coax him down... (But seeing the baby golden leaf monkey hanging on its mother's belly was really healing) ✅Avoidance Guide: Read the popular science of "Animal World" in advance! Don’t let your kids find out when you hide snacks! Wear non-slip shoes! ☕️ Pitfall 3: Waterfall Coffee turns you into a "drowned chicken" The photo of the internet-famous coffee truck at Detian Waterfall is a hoax! We were supposed to have an elegant afternoon tea with a view of the waterfall, but in reality we had to carry our kids on our backs and fight for a spot with Vietnamese vendors on a bamboo raft. I only drank a few sips of coffee and it all soaked my clothes. The "waterfall splashing photo" I spent 200 yuan on looks like a disaster scene... ✅Avoidance Guide: Comes with a folding stool! Wear quick-drying clothes! Don't let your child hold the coffee cup! 🌿 Really fragrant warning! These pits are worth jumping into ❶ Bamboo rafting on the Bulyu River is amazing! The boatman will teach the kids to fold a boat with reed leaves, and it will feel like they are in "Avatar" when they drift through the floating forest. ❷ The roasted pig at Huomai Eco Village is 10 times more delicious than the turkey legs at Disneyland! The skin is so crispy that it can be used as a drum ❸ 1466 meters of wild luxury camping in the clouds is the real ceiling! The tent is equipped with floor heating and star projection. The kids said it was like living in a UFO. ❹ Every travel photo provided by the hotel can be used as wallpaper! The photographer took pictures of the baby playing in the water while lying in the mud. They are even more amazing than my wedding photos. ⚠️ A life-saving list drawn up with blood and tears ✅ Bring a kids telescope! It is useful for watching leaf monkeys/stargazing/looking for waterfalls and rainbows ✅ Prepare 5 sets of clothes for replacement! Playing in the water/hiking/coffee, turning over the car, washing clothes every day ✅ Download Boonie Bears! The journey takes 2 hours and I rely on cartoons to survive ❌ Don’t wear light-colored shoes! Red soil turns into chocolate sauce in seconds when it comes into contact with water On the return flight, the child suddenly said: "Mom, let's apologize to the monkey..." This seemingly disappointing trip made the child remember the roar of the waterfall, the golden hair of the leaf monkeys, and the swaying of the bamboo raft under the starry sky - it turns out that the most beautiful scenery must have some "pitfalls" to be profound💫 📍The guide to avoiding pitfalls Guangxi Chongzuo Secret Land LUX Resort 🚗 It is recommended to book an airport pick-up with the hotel! It takes 2.5 hours to get from Nanning Airport, all along a winding mountain road 🏡 Highly recommend the pool villa room type! At night, you can eavesdrop on frogs' meetings on the balcony. 🍍 Must experience: Bamboo raft afternoon tea/Karst sunset/Huomai Village roasted pig Trust me! Every "pit" here is a sugar-coated bullet with a gold border. Only when you fall into it will you know what "pain and happiness" means.
