We took the kids to the place in China with the strongest Chinese New Year atmosphere! The aftereffects were amazing!

I always thought "Chaoshan" was one city, but it turns out it hides three treasure troves of small towns—Chaozhou, Shantou, and Jieyang. My husband and I spontaneously decided to bring the kids here for a 6-day trip, and the whole family was completely "intoxicated" 😂 I really regret not coming sooner! Here's a brief record of our itinerary 👇 ✨: We headed straight to Chaozhou after landing, and a pot of tea in a teahouse soothed our souls. In the evening, we strolled through the ancient city, waiting for the lights to come on at Guangji Bridge. At that moment, my child tugged at my hand and whispered, "Mommy, the bridge lights up!"—In that instant, all the fatigue from the journey vanished. ✨: After watching Yingge dance, I finally understood what "living intangible cultural heritage" truly means. When the drums started, my child danced along, eyes sparkling as they watched the performers. The father whispered, "This trip was worth it." ✨: Growing up inland, this was the first time our child had seen the sea at Nan'ao Island. He took off his shoes and ran to the beach 🏖️. We collected seashells and splashed in the waves at Qing'ao Bay. In the evening, the whole family gathered around a bonfire for a barbecue. Looking at his smiling face, I suddenly realized: some joys can only be truly understood by watching him grow up. ✨: Going out to sea on a boat, harvesting oysters and catching crabs, the excitement he showed when he caught the seafood was even greater than receiving a toy! In the afternoon, at the AI ​​base, we assembled an English-style dancing robot. He said, "Mom, let's make one when we get home!" ✨: We made oil-paper lanterns and sculpted red peach cakes together, listening to the teacher tell the story of "Leaving the Garden." In the evening, the eight-immortal table was filled with special dishes, and fireworks illuminated everyone's faces—isn't this the New Year's atmosphere of our childhood? ✨: On the last day, we relaxed and strolled around, buying his favorite beef balls and mung bean cakes. Before boarding, my child suddenly asked, "When are we coming back?" My husband and I exchanged a smile—looks like we've got another destination for our next vacation. 🥳This trip made me realize that the best companionship is taking your child to experience the world.✨ Chaoshan is truly an underrated gem for families with children; I highly recommend it to any family planning a trip with their kids!
