Sisters! Bravely took my 6-year-old to explore the "Chinese Semporna", but was tortured by the endless steps of the Grand Canyon on the first day—felt like crawling forward 😭 Got completely drenched by the Luanyuanping Waterfall (3 outfit changes!), lost a sandal in the crowded plank walk of Earth Heart Valley... Here's my tearful 5-day-4-night survival guide that'll save you from climbing ten extra mountains‼️ 🌈 Hell-mode itinerary (Survival Edition) Day1⃣️: Enshi city → Sun-dried like cured meat at Pengjiazhai → Squished like a pancake at Daughter City Day2⃣️: Hair washed by Luanyuanping Waterfall → Picking "dinosaur eggs" at cliffside terraces Day3⃣️: 20,000 steps at Grand Canyon → Turned into a mud monkey at Yunlong Ground Fissure Day4⃣️: Seasick like a spinning top on Qingjiang cruise → Pants-wetting terror at Jigongling Via Ferrata Day5⃣️: Chasing sheep at Fu'er Mountain → Triple slip-and-fall combo at Earth Heart Valley ✅ Enshi Grand Canyon The cliffside plank walk is breathtakingly beautiful! 🌄 Bought kids' explorer binoculars that were only used to locate "where's the bathroom"...

Ended up koala-clinging to the instructor's back... 💣 Bloody lessons: 1️⃣ Never wear sandals at Yunlong Ground Fissure! Slippery moss made me do the splits 2️⃣ Take motion sickness meds before Qingjiang cruise! Waves made kid vomit all his Tujia pancakes 3️⃣ Avoid front rows at Daughter City shows! Got pulled up for hand-waving dance while kid ROFL 4️⃣ Don't chase sheep for photos at Fu'er Mountain!

(💡 Pro tip: Dress kids in neon! Our orange jackets became "human signal lights" 🚨 in mountain fog)

Sisters! Just survived 5 days trekking through Enshi with my 8-year-old - the canyons were heavenly, but the mishaps were hellish!

Four-tiered waterfalls so cold they'll make you shiver. My kid waved his water gun shouting: "I'll give the sun a bath!"🌈 Cliffside plank paths exhausted my legs, but the brat hopped like a mountain goat before collapsing at a farmhouse, revived by baked potatoes... ✅ Jigongling Via Ferrata Metamorphosis on cliffs! As the coach secured our harness, my wailed: "Mom I want to be a gecko!"🦎 Steel cables bruised our thighs, but when overlooking Qingjiang River, he suddenly whispered: "We're like ants flying in the sky..." ✅ Enshi Dixin Valley Natural water cave adventure! My sandals got swept away wading - barefoot on pebbles was torture😭 Kid chased fish with a broken net becoming a "human fishing rod", finally storing three tadpoles in a snack container... 💣Bloody Lessons: 1⃣️No dresses at Enshi Grand Canyon! Two-hour cable car queue + mountain wind = wardrobe malfunction 2⃣️Avoid window seats on Qingjiang boats! Camera got soaked, photos look like Loch Ness monster 3⃣️Skip silver jewelry at Daughter City! "Miao embroidery" bracelet dyed kid's wrist blue - claimed it was "Avatar genes awakening" 4⃣️Watch for sheep poop at Fu'er Mountain! Stepped on three "landmines" in 5 minutes - white shoes became abstract art 5⃣️Tenglong Cave needs winter gear!

Though we hit 20,000 steps daily, seeing his specimen box with Butterfly Rock fragments made it worthwhile! (💡Final tip: Pack kids' windbreakers! Mountain weather changes faster than a player's mood - sunburn AND downpour in 5 minutes... I mean, dual experience!)

🥰Hey everyone, winter is here! Are you looking for a different kind of thrilling experience? Today, I'm going to introduce you to the amazing winter activity of Jigongling Via Ferrata. But before you go, make sure to know these important tips👇. 🎈1. Gear Preparation🎈 🥾Shoes: Be sure to wear professional hiking boots or sports shoes. Anti-slip is key👟, otherwise, it's easy to slip during the climb. 🧤Gloves: A must-have! They protect your hands from abrasion and keep them warm. 🧗‍♀️Safety Harness and Helmet: These are crucial. Have them fitted by professionals to ensure your safety. 🎈2. Clothing Choices🎈 🧥Winter weather is cold, so wear enough warm clothing. A windbreaker or down jacket is a good choice🥼. But don't wear too much, as it can hinder your movement. 👖Choose durable, windproof pants. Sports pants or outdoor pants are ideal. 🧣Scarves and hats: They can block the cold wind and protect your head and neck. 🎈3. Physical Condition🎈 💪Make sure you are in good physical condition before going. If you have a cold, fever, or other discomfort, don't push yourself. Via Ferrata requires a certain level of physical strength. 🥰You can do some appropriate exercises in advance to enhance your strength and endurance. 🎈4. Weather Conditions🎈 🌤Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day to go.

Jigongling Feilada is located on the most beautiful cliff of the eight hundred li Qingjiang River, with magnificent scenery. It is adjacent to scenic spots such as Qingjiang Grand Canyon, Huanghe Bridge Peaks, and Butterfly Rock, providing tourists with a unique visual feast. Whether it's a sunny day or a rainy day, there are different styles here.

This May Day rock climbing is probably the craziest thing I've done this year. As a middle-aged fat man with no rock climbing foundation and lack of exercise, I actually played a game of cliff climbing, climbing on a rock wall 600 meters vertically off the ground, walking on a tightrope, and there are several places that are negative angles, and my feet are flashing all the way... Although I only walked the basic route, I tried my best, but I felt quite accomplished after climbing, a rare life experience. The kid is pretty good, because he has learned rock climbing, he walked the intermediate and advanced routes, and his wife accompanied his son to climb, and he was still a little bit unfinished after finishing. Friendly reminder, you must choose your shoes well, the soles of your shoes should not slip, many steel rings and wires that are stepped on are slippery, and bad shoes are easy to slip.
