Family Trip to Yuntai Mountain, Henan: 2-3 Days Unlocking the Secret Mountain and Water Wonderland with Kids!

Regretting only spending one day at Yuntai Mountain with the kids! At least 2-3 days are needed to fully enjoy it~ Combining the dreamlike Jiuzhaigou, the magical Red Stone Canyon, and winter ice waterfalls, the kids are amazed by the wonders of nature throughout the trip! Indigenous village homestays, cliff glass walkways, cable cars, yachts, ancient temples—rich and varied activities. 🎫Tickets: 120 RMB/person, including scenic area transportation; children under 1.2 meters are free. One-stop for food, drink, and fun, with excellent value! ❣️Family travel time and accommodation: Recommended to spend 2-3 days, stay at the riverside service area. Homestays are affordable, food and drinks are reasonably priced. Recommended: "Yuntai Mountain Riverside Boutique Homestay," which has family rooms and many nearby dining options. 🔥🔥🔥2-3 Day Family Itinerary🚏Must-visit spots: Day 1⃣️: Red Stone Canyon (take kids to see the Red Stone Grand Canyon, explain rock knowledge) → Zifang Lake (yacht ride is stunning, the water is emerald green, kids love it) → Zhuyu Peak (have lunch to recharge, moderate hiking exercise) → Glass Walkway (challenge kids’ courage, provide psychological support) → Phoenix Ridge → Cable Car (watch the sunset, breathtaking scenery) → Return to riverside service area for accommodation and dinner. Day 2⃣️: Wanshan Temple (let kids experience ancient temple culture, pray quietly) → Xiaozhai Valley (hike to see waterfalls, kids chase water splashes) → Macaque Valley (see wild macaques, remind kids not to feed or provoke monkeys) → Tanpu Canyon → Quanpu Canyon → Rest at the service area at night (summer visitors can enjoy Yuntai Mountain night tour). Day 3⃣️: If time allows, revisit Red Stone Canyon and Zifang Lake, these two spots are worth savoring with kids, then head back. 🚞Family transportation: Try to take the high-speed train from Zhengzhou to Xiuwu County; after getting off, there are direct shuttle buses or taxis to the scenic area, convenient and fast. There are more trains from Zhengzhou to Jiaozuo but they take a detour, adding about 1 hour; for kids, choose the time-saving route. Scenic area transportation: included in the ticket price, shuttle buses inside the park can be used freely within 3 days by scanning the ticket. Drivers are locals and can provide travel advice, no forced purchases. 🔥🔥🔥Family Scenic Experience: 💯💯💯💯 Convenient transportation, affordable food and lodging, attentive service, high ticket value, stress-free travel with kids. Shuttle buses connect the attractions, no need to walk long distances, kids can enjoy easily, and parents can relax.
