After getting off, there are direct shuttle buses or taxis to the scenic area, which is convenient and time-saving, avoiding detours. Inside the scenic area, there are shuttle buses that you can ride freely within 3 days by scanning your ticket. The drivers are locals and can provide travel route advice with no forced purchases, so you don’t have to walk long distances with kids. 🏡 Accommodation Suggestions: Stay at the riverside service area, where homestays offer great value, affordable food and drinks. We recommend "Yuntai Mountain Riverside Family Homestay," which has family rooms, plenty of nearby dining options, and convenient transportation. 🔥🔥🔥 2-3 Day Family Travel Itinerary: Day 1: Red Stone Canyon (show kids the red rocks and emerald lakes, explain geological knowledge) → Zifang Lake (take a yacht to experience the vast lake) → Zhuyu Peak (have lunch to recharge, moderate hiking) → Glass Plank Road (challenge kids’ courage, prepare them mentally) → Phoenix Ridge (watch the sunset) → Cable car back → Return to riverside service area for accommodation and dinner.

Dress kids in comfortable, non-slip sports shoes as there are many steps in the scenic area for easy walking. 2. Bring sunscreen, umbrellas, and jackets as mountain weather is changeable, so be prepared. 3. Food prices inside the scenic area are moderate; bring some snacks to keep kids energized. 4. The glass plank road may scare kids, so parents should accompany and encourage them to ensure safety.
