Second time taking the kids to Yichun! Turning Disneyland into just a backdrop

The ultimate summer vacation spot for kids that everyone’s been asking about! Flying from Guangzhou to Harbin and then transferring to Yichun, the moment we got off the plane, we were embraced by a 22°C breeze🌬️. The kids ran happily on the grass, shouting, “Mom, there are stars dancing in the grass!” (Later we realized it was just the dew reflecting light, which made us laugh so hard). Six days and five nights immersed in the Lesser Khingan Mountains, with intangible cultural heritage crafts, deer cuddles, treasure hunting along the boundary river… Even I didn’t want to leave. This is what childhood should really be like✨ 📅【6-day super fun itinerary: Every day is a “Wow” moment】 🔸Day 1 Harbin → Yichun: Switching from “Madel ice cream cone” to “forest mode” After enjoying a Madel ice cream🍦 on Harbin’s Central Street, we took a bus to Yichun. The trees outside the window changed from “urban green” to “oil painting green,” and the kid suddenly pointed to the sky shouting “Rainbow!” — it turned out the clouds were dyed pink and purple by the sunset, breathtakingly beautiful🌇. We checked into a log cabin, and in the middle of the night, the kid suddenly sat up: “Mom, look! The ceiling is glowing!” Looking up, the Milky Way was pouring down through the skylight✨. 🔸Day 2 Intangible woodcraft + gentle drifting + deer cuddles🦌 • Woodcraft workshop: The kid held a carving knife making a “birdhouse,” with wood shavings all over his nose, then suddenly looked up and asked the teacher, “Will the bird like a pink roof?” Everyone burst out laughing, and although the final product was crooked, he treated it like a “family heirloom” and hugged it to sleep💤. • Parent-child drifting: I thought the kid would be scared, but he was holding a water gun and having a water fight with the neighboring boat. When the boat turned a corner, he shouted, “Mom, look! The trees are making way for us!” The calm river was super friendly, even a 3-year-old could have a blast the whole time🚣. • Jinshan Deer Park: When a deer’s tongue licked the back of his hand, the kid was both surprised and laughing: “It’s kissing me!” Holding the carrot tighter, he was surrounded by the deer while feeding them. The scene looked just like a live version of “Bambi,” and even the air felt sweet🥕. 🔸Day 3 Wetland crane watching + stone forest exploration🌿 • Xinqing Wetland: When the white-headed crane spread its wings, the kid immediately covered his mouth (to avoid scaring the bird), but his eyes were wide open. When the teacher showed how to feed, he arranged the dried fish into a heart shape: “Will the cranes be happy if they eat this?” Watching the cranes pecking, he suddenly understood the romance of “all things have spirits”🐦. • Tangwang River Stone Forest: Crawling into the “One-line Sky” crevice, the kid tiptoed to touch the rock wall: “Mom, the stones are growing wrinkles!” Climbing to the viewing platform, the whole forest looked like a green wave rolling in, and he spread his arms shouting, “I am the king of the forest!” Even the echo sounded like laughter~ 🔸Day 4 Dinosaur fossils + boundary river treasure hunting💎 • Jiayin Dinosaur Museum: Seeing the giant dinosaur skeleton, the kid jumped up: “Will it eat my ice cream?” Squatting in front of the dinosaur egg model counting “spots,” he kept telling me dinosaur stories every day after, even switching his bedtime book to **“Jurassic Diary”**🦖. • Boundary River cruise + agate hunting: The Sino-Russian boundary river breeze carried the scent of pine, and the kid suddenly screamed, “Mom! The stones are glowing!” He found a heart-shaped agate, ran half a mile holding it, saying he wanted to give me a **“magic gem”**💌. The riverbank was full of families bent over searching for treasures, the atmosphere felt like a giant “natural blind box” unboxing event! 🔸Day 5 Wild day in the primeval forest🌳 • Red pine hiking: The guide taught blowing pine needles as whistles, the kid’s cheeks puffed like little balloons, blowing “beep beep” sounds that attracted squirrels! When feeding the squirrels, just as he offered nuts, the little creatures dashed over, scaring the kid back a step but he couldn’t stop laughing, playing this over and over without getting tired🐿️. • Wild kitchen: Using pine cones as “bowls” and mushrooms picked to make soup, the kid used a twig as chopsticks, eating while shouting, “This is my forest feast!” At dusk, the camp BBQ sizzled with meat skewers dripping oil. He held roasted corn chasing fireflies, the scene was as beautiful as a Studio Ghibli animation🎇. 🔸Day 6 Blueberry freedom + Oroqen encounters🫐 • Blueberry picking: Diving into the blueberry patch, the kid buried his face in the bushes, picking and stuffing berries: “Mom! The blueberries are kissing my tongue!” His clothes pockets and hat were full of blue-purple “loot,” even his fingernails were dyed blue, looking like a little blueberry spirit~ • Oroqen experience: Following a hunter to learn building a “slanting pillar,” the kid stumbled carrying birch branches but seriously shouted, “This is our forest castle!” When learning to find directions, he compared the compass with tree shadows and suddenly realized, “So the sun is the best teacher!” 🍖【Northeast cuisine on the tip of the tongue: Eat up the “hearty” flavors】 • Iron pot stew: The moment the lid was lifted, the sauce aroma mixed with the sweet smell of corn cakes hit the face! The kid reached for a steamed bun, got burned and pulled back but didn’t want to let go, stomping his feet anxiously, finally hugging it and eating with sauce all over his face, saying “It’s ten thousand times better than a burger!” • Camp BBQ: Using honey they picked as dipping sauce, meat skewers sizzled under the starry sky. The kid held a grilled mushroom asking, “Did the mushroom absorb the taste of the stars?” That made the camping lights glow even softer✨. 💡【Must-see tips for traveling with kids: Pitfall-free version】 1. Clothing: Short sleeves + sun protection during the day, add a light jacket in the morning and evening (it’s chilly in the forest), sports shoes are a must! 2. Mosquito repellent: Don’t believe “no mosquitoes in the forest”! Use both mosquito repellent bracelets and sprays, or the kid will be bitten into a **“flower face”**😅. 3. Interaction: Encourage kids to ask questions during every experience! For example, when feeding deer ask “What do deer like to eat?” When picking agates chat about “How do stones become gems?” Nature education is hidden in the details~ 4. Photography: Woodcraft workshop, deer park, boundary river are super photogenic! Bring a light-colored dress or hanfu, with the forest as the background, every shot is a forest-style masterpiece📸. After coming back from Yichun, the kid wrote in his composition book: “I touched the shape of the wind, tasted the flavor of stars…” It turns out the best education is to throw kids into nature to run wild🌿. This summer, don’t let your kids be stuck in air-conditioned rooms—come to Yichun and be a “forest wild child” for a while—after all, a childhood where you cuddle deer, talk to dinosaurs, and sleep under the Milky Way is the real childhood!
