Chose Chongzuo over Sanya, and the kids didn’t want to go home after playing here

💥This small city in Guangxi blew us away! After 6 days of fun with the kids, we immediately canceled our Guilin trip! Woke up in a mushroom house in Chongzuo, opened the window to banana groves and karst peaks, with a 25℃ breeze carrying the scent of grass and trees—this isn’t just a trip with kids, it’s like moving the whole family into a Southeast Asian fairy tale! Even the People’s Daily recommends this hidden border gem, which really holds so many surprises! 🌴The moment we checked into the mushroom house, the kids went wild The standalone cabin at Wild Stay Collective is amazing! Its round shape looks like it was taken straight from an animation, and the 180° floor-to-ceiling windows frame the greenery by the Black Water River like wallpaper. 👉The private soaking pool is hidden in the banana grove; splashing during the day and stargazing at night. The kids could spend two hours just picking leaves by the pool. 👉At PAPAYA Park, feeding mainland turtles and chasing goats, with a veggie feeding pack in hand, the kids instantly became animal caretakers. 👉The park’s bicycles include kids’ models! Riding through the rice fields feels like running wild in the countryside of Chiang Mai. 👉Just as the floating afternoon tea was set up, the kids were already holding cameras shouting, “Mom, hurry and sit down, I’ll take your picture!” 🚢A 6-day, 5-night itinerary perfectly blends “play” and “learn” for the kids ▪️Day 1: Arrival in Nanning with airport pickup, icebreaker camp opening ceremony at night, kids sharing snacks right away with their supply packs. ▪️Day 2: The scenery along the Hena Expressway is more stunning than any documentary! Bamboo rafting under Detian Transnational Waterfall, the mist cooling our faces, sipping coffee at the waterfall café, kids pointing at the rainbow shouting, “Mom, look! The bridge is colorful!” ▪️Day 3: Cycling through Mingshi Pastoral feels like entering an ink painting; drifting on the Black Dragon River bamboo raft, the boatman suddenly sings mountain songs, and the peaks on both sides seem to sway along. ▪️Day 4: Learning about white-headed leaf monkeys was so enlightening! These rare little creatures, even rarer than pandas, jump on the limestone hills. The guide said, “Their home is only here,” and the kids quietly put away their snacks after hearing this. ▪️Day 5: Going out to sea to chase Chinese white dolphins! When the pink figures leapt out of the water, all the kids on the boat shouted, “It’s smiling at us!” In the mangroves, they caught crabs, holding their muddy “trophies” tightly, refusing to let go. ▪️Day 6: Studying Chinese horseshoe crabs made the kids’ eyes widen, “This is a 400-million-year-old living fossil?” On the way back in the afternoon, their little backpacks were stuffed with collected shells, and they kept saying, “We have to come see the little monkeys again next year.” ✨Hidden perks every family with kids must try ✔️Tours run every week in July and August, no need to research or plan, just bring someone along. ✔️Airport pickup and accommodation all included! Rooms in Mingshi offer mountain views right from the window, and the late-night snacks and desserts at Wild Stay Collective are even more exquisite than hotels. ✔️Play hard during the day, relax at night; when the outdoor movie starts, the kids lean on your lap eating watermelon, and this tired mom finally gets to scroll her phone for a bit. 🌿Stop hesitating about where to take the kids! Summer in Chongzuo is the dew on banana leaves, the splash of white dolphins, the laughter of kids chasing goats—this kind of trip that brings nature’s classroom into the mountains and rivers is truly the best summer gift for children!
