A must-see for family trips in September! Simply the pinnacle of parent-child travel!

Zhejiang · Songyang Ancient Village Cluster Misty tea fields, century-old earthen houses, intangible cultural heritage crafts Highlights: The last secret ancient village in Jiangnan, original ecological rammed earth houses scattered among the mountains, perfect for photo check-ins. Parent-child experiences: tea picking and frying, traditional papermaking, bamboo weaving classes; kids have fun while learning culture. September temperature around 25°C, gentle hiking routes, no pressure for elderly walking. Avoid pitfalls: recommended to stay in Chenjiapu Village to watch the sea of clouds in the early morning and avoid the heavily commercialized Yangjiatang Village. Fujian · Pingtan Island Blue tears aftermath, island cycling, fishing village life Highlights: September is the off-season for tourism in "Little Kenting" Pingtan, with homestay prices plummeting but sea views unchanged. Rent an electric bike to circle the island, passing Changjiang’ao windmill fields and Beibu Gulf glass plank road, kids love it. Experience net fishing, beach clam digging, and bring your catch back to the homestay for cooking. Note: Beigang Village is heavily commercialized; recommended to stay near Tannan Bay in the south. Hubei · Enshi Pingshan Canyon China’s Semporna, glass water, Tujia culture Highlights: September has moderate canyon water flow; the "floating boat" offers the best photo effect, and elderly can comfortably tour the canyon by wooden boat. Gentle hiking routes pass through Yixiantian and Qianzhang Waterfall, with air rich in negative oxygen ions. Sichuan · Litang Sky city, Tibetan-style homestays, plateau cute pets Highlights: September grasslands turn yellow; Litang town is at 4000m altitude, but nearby Maoya grassland is adapted to the height, less prone to altitude sickness. Visit Tibetan families, learn to make butter tea and weave Tibetan carpets; kids can interact with marmots. Classic driving section of National Highway 318, passing Sisters Lake and Haizi Mountain, with stunning scenery. Reminder: bring oxygen tanks, avoid strenuous exercise, recommended to stay in Tibetan-style inns on Renkang Ancient Street. Guangxi · Chongzuo China-Vietnam border, Detian Waterfall, karst countryside Highlights: September is the high water period for Detian Waterfall; bamboo raft rides allow close-up experience of "Asia’s largest transnational waterfall." Cycle through Mingshi Countryside, passing rice fields and sugarcane forests, like entering an ink painting. Experience Zhuang bamboo pole dance and making five-color glutinous rice; kids can fish in rice paddies. Travel advice: 2-hour drive from Nanning or join local small group day tours. Yunnan · Tengchong Ginkgo Village Golden fairy tale, hot spring therapy, border cuisine Highlights: September marks the early yellowing of ginkgo leaves; over 3,000 ancient ginkgo trees in the village reach peak viewing, perfect for family photos. Soak in natural sulfur hot springs to relieve travel fatigue, suitable for elderly and children. Experience Dai hand-grabbed rice and xidoufen; kids can participate in making pine flower cakes. Travel tips: Kunming to Tengchong flight only 1 hour; car rentals between scenic spots offer more flexibility. Gansu · Dunhuang Yadan Devil City Interstellar landforms, stargazing camping, Silk Road culture Highlights: September sunsets are late, ideal for capturing the magical scenes of Yadan landforms intertwined with dusk glow. Parent-child activities: camel riding across the Gobi, mud painting, overnight desert stargazing. Avoid summer heat; daytime temperature around 25°C but bring windproof jackets. Hidden experience: contact local guides to stake out the "mirage" phenomenon at 4 a.m. Liaoning · Benxi Red Leaf Valley Northeast’s Little Sichuan route, Guanmen Mountain red leaves, Anti-Japanese Union sites Highlights: Late September sees maple leaves turning red; Benhuan Highway, known as the "Chinese Maple Leaf Road," reaches peak viewing, driving feels like traveling through a painting. Hike Guanmen Mountain with babbling streams; elderly can take sightseeing buses, kids enjoy water guns without boredom. Experience iron pot stew, sauerkraut pork, and hear Anti-Japanese Union stories, perfect for parent-child red education. Gear tips: large temperature difference in mountains, bring light down jackets; recommended to stay at Benxi Hot Spring Hotel.
