Family Travel Guide | This Border Town in Baise, Guangxi, Is Perfect for Avoiding Crowds with Kids!​​

Off-the-Beaten-Path Destination When visiting Guangxi, don’t just stick to Guilin~ For National Day family trips, we chose Baise, a lesser-known small town! It’s not overly commercialized, the natural scenery is well preserved, and there are fewer people, making it a perfect family experience~ Some roads are still national or rural roads, so allow extra driving time, but the kids won’t get bored with the beautiful mountains and rivers along the way! 🏨 Accommodation Recommendation: Guangxi Chongzuo Secret Realm Lishi Resort 📍 Located on the China-Vietnam border, surrounded by banana groves and karst peaks, it feels like living inside a landscape painting! Kids love the rice fields and riverside right outside the door, and every photo is a perfect family shot📸 ◾️ Must-Stay for Families: 1466 Cliff Tent Camp The kids are super excited! Waking up to a sea of clouds in the morning, with cliffs outside the tent, but the room amenities rival a hotel—private bathroom, air conditioning, hand-brewed coffee tools, plus family meals included, making it comfortable and novel for kids! 🌿 Family-Exclusive Activity List ✔ Camping at 1466 meters above sea level (super safe for kids to run around) ✔ Sea of Clouds and Tianzhou Afternoon Tea (snacks + sea of clouds, kids sit nicely) ✔ Hiking Shenmu Tiankeng Rainforest (learn about insects and birds) ✔ Bamboo Rafting on the Buliu River (kids love the boat ride) ✔ Visiting the White-Headed Leaf Monkey Reserve (see monkeys up close!) ✔ Cycling in Mingshi Pastoral (children’s bikes available for rent) ✔ Detian Waterfall + Waterfall Café (parents enjoy coffee, kids watch the waterfall) ✔ Boat Tour on Haokun Lake (scenic and easy on the feet) ✔ Karst Peak Cluster Sunset (teach kids to recognize mountain shapes~) ✅ 5 Days 4 Nights Family Itinerary D1 Nanning airport pickup - White-Headed Leaf Monkey Reserve (kids watch monkeys quietly all the way) D2 Bamboo rafting at Detian Waterfall - Cycling in Mingshi Pastoral (gentle cycling paths, perfect for kids) D3 Most beautiful road - Boat tour on Haokun Lake - Karst peak sunset (catch naps in the car, easy sightseeing) D4 Bamboo rafting on Buliu River - Dashiwai Tiankeng - Sea of Clouds afternoon tea (kids love the tiankeng adventure) D5 Tent sunrise viewing - Shenmu Tiankeng hiking - Return trip (family-friendly hiking route) 🔆 Must-Visit Attractions with Kids 📍 Detian Transnational Waterfall: Asia’s largest transnational waterfall, kids are amazed! 📍 Mingshi Pastoral: The “Little Guilin” lives up to its name, running around under karst peaks is super healing for kids 📍 Shenmu Tiankeng: The world’s largest tiankeng cluster, kids fascinated by insect and bird sounds 💡 Family Tips 🔸 Recommend booking a private family tour!
