Buy a sightseeing bus ticket to take the kids to the mountaintop, overlooking layers of mountains. Kids will curiously ask, “Why are there so many mountains?”—a perfect chance to teach them some nature facts. 🔸 Renting a kid-friendly electric scooter at the foot of the mountain is awesome!

Walk the gentle boardwalk with kids to feel the waterfall’s power up close. The water splashing on you feels great, and kids will happily take photos with the waterfall~ ✅ Wanfeng Lake There’s a beautiful Gothic-style castle in the lake! Navigate to Fuyao Coffee, sit by the lake with kids, enjoy snacks while watching the lake view. The red castle reflected in the water makes kids say it looks like a “princess’s home”~ ✅ Yuhuangding Super convenient to drive right to the mountaintop! Take kids to Yuhuangding Cloud House, order a hot drink at the cliffside café, wait for the sunset together, and watch the mountains slowly turn red—so healing~ ✅ Sunshine Valley The red maples in autumn and winter are stunning! Play with kids under the maple trees, collect different shaped leaves as souvenirs, and every casual family photo looks like an oil painting. Kids will even pose on their own~ ✅ Huajiang Canyon Bridge The “world’s highest bridge” is impressively imposing! Check in with kids at the Yundu Service Area. Kids will point at the high bridge in awe, looking forward to trying bungee jumping (for older kids) and the skywalk after it opens—super fun~ - 📍 Location: Guizhou · Qianxinan ✈️ Transportation: Fly to Xingyi Wanfenglin Airport.
