Taking kids to Narat to efficiently explore 3 major areas in 1 day without tiring mom!

📒 You really need a plan when taking kids to Narat! Proper planning ensures you don’t miss the beautiful scenery～ 🗺️ The scenic area is divided into three main parts: Sky Grassland, Valley Grassland, and Panlong Valley Trail. This 1-day family itinerary is super hassle-free! 1️⃣ 9:00 Head to Sky Grassland! There will be traffic jams after 10, so get an early start straight to the Nomad Family. Get off and walk a few hundred meters to the popular bridge. If you don’t want to wait in line, walk upstream along the creek. Kids can chase the flowing water, and the lawn with distant mountains is amazing for photos 🍃 2️⃣ 11:00 Depending on the weather, choose to go to Snow Lotus Valley! If visibility is good, spend 60 RMB on the shuttle ticket to get close to the snow mountains with the kids. If the weather is bad, don’t go—there’s nothing to see and it will just tire the kids ⚠️ 3️⃣ 13:00 Return to the visitor center to rest and eat, then at 14:00 set off for Panlong Valley Trail. First pass through the Valley Grassland’s Tawusake, where vast fields of small yellow flowers are perfect for photos. If interested, you can make a short stop at the Wusun Ruins. 4️⃣ Pay attention when taking the shuttle! At the third stop, Yitigense, you must get off and transfer. Driving yourself is more flexible. The shuttle has many stops, so either option works well with kids. It’s less crowded and the scenery is beautiful and very comfortable here～ 5️⃣ Spend 2 hours at Panlong Valley Trail, then at 16:00 head to Valley Grassland. The green mountains stretch continuously along the way, and kids can enjoy the scenery quietly in the car. You can take the shuttle back to the visitor center and buy a Valley Grassland ticket again. 6️⃣ The Valley Grassland endpoint is super relaxing! If driving, you can leave from the East Gate. If you have energy, take the kids for a light hike to Tianying Platform; if tired, just rest on the grassland and watch the cattle and sheep 🐑 🎫 Book self-driving tickets 7 days in advance! If you miss out, keep refreshing and wait for standby. I successfully got standby at 6 AM, and you can enter and exit multiple times within 48 hours, which is very convenient. 🏨 Accommodation tip: Recommend the nearby "Yunyin Guanshan Courtyard," family-friendly and you can lie down and enjoy the beautiful grassland view.
