Taking the kids to Xingyi! 5 days of fun until you don’t want to go home

Highly recommend to all moms! Xingyi is truly a treasure city for family trips! Especially the Xingyi Mushroom Hotel—when the kids see the colorful mushroom houses, their eyes light up, and they rush into the room saying, “This is the best hotel I’ve ever seen”~ ❌Family trip pitfalls to avoid! Don’t fall into these traps! ✅Want to take close-up photos at Huangguoshu Waterfall? Raincoat + waterproof cover for your phone/camera are a must! Otherwise, the mist will soak you and your equipment—don’t ask me how I know! ✅Never book a homestay in Wanfenglin at the last minute! During peak season, homestay owners raise prices a lot. Booking early is cheaper and lets you choose better rooms! ✅The pastoral scenery of Wanfenglin is stunning, but don’t come during rice harvest season! Only the lush green rice fields have that atmospheric vibe; bare fields really don’t look good~ ✅The mosquitoes in Xingyi are super fierce! When going out with kids, be sure to bring mosquito repellent lotion and spray, or the kids will get bitten all over their legs, itchy and painful! 🏨【Fairy-tale vibes at the Mushroom Hotel】 📍Xingyi Mushroom Luxury Wild Hotel The hotel is all mushroom🍄 shaped! As soon as you enter the hotel street, the huge mushroom houses on both sides catch your eye, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a cartoon~ The rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies with amazing views! There are also various cartoon-themed rooms that make kids super excited! Around the hotel is a children’s playground just like the Disney castle, where kids can play all day without getting bored, and parents can finally take a break! 🚘5-day family itinerary, fun and easy! D1: Gather in Guiyang~ After arrival, airport pickup and hotel check-in, rest well to recharge for the upcoming trip! D2: Guiyang → Huangguoshu Waterfall! Enter the park through the VIP channel, no queues, super easy to tour with kids! Stay overnight at Yaojia Wangpu Homestay, a cliffside homestay that’s absolutely amazing! The infinity pool faces mountain streams, the scenery is breathtaking! D3: Huangguoshu → Earth Core Exploration・Cave Zipline → Xingyi Mushroom Hotel! Before entering the cave, the coach teaches how to wear caving suits and cave knowledge, very professional~ The cave is cool, and you can touch huge stalagmites and stalactites🪨! Mountain climbing, ziplining, stepping through small rivers💦, plus “flat band rappelling,” the kids have a blast and are super happy the whole time! D4: Wanfenglin → Fenglin Bouyei! Climb high to overlook the panoramic view of Wanfenglin, cycling with the breeze is super comfortable~ Rent a set of Bouyei ethnic costumes to take photos in the tea fields📷, it’s really beautiful! You can also enjoy flower field afternoon tea, ride the rice field mini train, pick dragon fruit and pineapple, fish🐟, and pick tea~ Tie-dyeing, pounding glutinous rice cakes, and catching chickens🐓 are also super fun, and the kids feel a great sense of accomplishment from their tie-dye creations! D5: Jilong Fort → Wanfeng Lake boat tour → Airport/train station drop-off! See the dreamy fairy-tale castle🏰, take a boat tour on Wanfeng Lake, ending a perfect family trip~

Huangguoshu National Park

Huangguoshu National Park is a rare large-scale waterfall complex in China, the most famous is undoubtedly the Huangguoshu Great Falls, with a drop of up to 77 meters and a width of 101 meters, majestic, known as "Asia's first waterfall". There are several other waterfall attractions in the park, which are great for those who want to immerse themselves in the magnificent views of nature and breathe fresh air. Itinerary Recommendations: The day trip mainly focuses on the area around the Yellow Fruit Tree Falls. It is recommended to arrive at the scenic spot before 9am. You can start from the "Waterfall Front Observation Deck" and feel the shocking scene of the surging water. Then walk the "Shui Cave" - ​​through the cave you can hear the roar of water up close, super immersive. Along the way, you can also walk to "Douqing Waterfall", which is downstream of the yellow fruit tree. Along the way, the woods are dense, the air is fresh, and the view is very comfortable. At noon you can dine at a nearby rest stop and try Buyi-style snacks. Must-play items and photo spots: 1. Yellow Fruit Tree Falls Front Observation Deck: Photography "big water straight down" is inevitable first choice, usually more travelers, it is recommended to arrive early. 2. Shuichi Cave: Looking out from the back of the cave, fully experience the waterfall curtain effect, you can play in the water but pay attention to safety. 3. Steep Waterfall Nature Trail: Suitable for those who like nature and shooting close-ups, the forest along the way, the photo effect is particularly fresh. Attraction Tips: 1. Open all day year-round, it is recommended to avoid holiday and weekend peaks, with relatively little crowds on weekdays for easier photography. 2. Remember to bring a waterproof jacket or raincoat, near the waterfall photography easy to get wet, especially the water cave location. 3. Wear non-slip shoes, some trails are more wet and slippery, safety first. 4. Note the waterfall area mobile phone is prone to moisture, take pictures quickly, or prepare a waterproof case. 5. The park is wide, it is recommended to plan a good walking route to conserve physical strength, you can consider taking the park shuttle to save time. Notes: 1. Yellow Fruit Tree National Park is widely distributed, and some attractions require walking. 2. The park has the most water in summer and the most spectacular views, but some locations are relatively wet and slippery, walk carefully. 3. Pay attention to scenic spot announcements during the rainy season, and occasionally there will be temporary control of some trails. Personal experience: This time I went to Guanling Douqi Waterfall. The water mist of the waterfall is scattered under the sun. The whole waterfall is crystal clear. Every photo I took is a natural blockbuster. The tree-shaded trails are fresh and comfortable to walk around and feel cool even in the hot summer. The sound of the waterfall was shocking and the scene was truly more spectacular than imagined. If you like to be close to nature, this is definitely worth a visit! Today's sharing topic: #Yellow Fruit Tree Waterfall #Natural Landscape #Guanling Travel #Waterfall Photo #Outdoor Play
