I'd say this is the ultimate one-stop destination for family fun near Wuhan.
Last week, my friends and I took our kids to Lumingu Valley Resort in Jiangxi. It has everything: hot springs ♨️, a water park, an ice and snow world, a zoo, an amusement park, and dining options – a true one-stop shop for family fun. Plus, it's not crowded, so no long queues! Both the kids and adults had a blast and didn't want to leave 😆. It's perfect for a weekend getaway to let the kids run wild, relax, and recharge for the working day and school week 🎒.
✅Things to do
🔥Lumingu Valley
After breakfast, we headed straight to Lumingu Valley. You could easily spend the whole day there.
✔️Zoo
What kid doesn't love adorable animals?! Goats, alpacas 🦙, peacocks 🦚, capybaras, squirrels, red pandas… You can get up close and personal with these little creatures. My little one kept squealing "So cute!" and chasing after the goats 😂.
✔️Ice and Snow World
The mini train, ice skating, snow tubing, and balance bikes were a hit with both kids and adults.
✔️Amusement Park
Glass slides, zip lines, rope courses, a rotating tower, bumper cars, a pirate ship, a roller coaster 🎢, a carousel 🎠… Fun and exciting! When it's not busy, you can go on your favorite rides again and again.
✔️Lumingu Theater
There are clown 🤡 shows and animal star performances. Visitors can even go on stage and interact!
✔️Molten Iron Fireworks Show
Watch the spectacular intangible cultural heritage performance of molten iron fireworks at 8pm.
⚠️Lumingu Valley also has a magic house and craft workshops.
🔥Hot Springs + Water Park
✔️Open-air Hot Springs
Milk pools, red wine pools, herbal pools, metasilicic acid pools, ginseng pools, an infinity-edge heated pool 🏊… Take your pick! After a day of fun, a soak in the hot springs makes for a great night's sleep 😌.
✔️Indoor Water Park
A paradise for kids! Wave pool, massage pool, rainbow slides 🛝, hot spring pools, fish spa… The kids 🧒 had so much fun they didn't want to leave.
🔥Mountaintop Park
A large outdoor playground with slides 🛝, swings, trampolines, climbing frames… Perfect for letting the kids burn off some energy.
✅Food
The hotel offers a breakfast buffet. Kids who finish their plates get a gift 🎁! For lunch and dinner, there are options for every budget. The hotel banquet hall, Xiushui farmhouse restaurant, and Lumingu Valley Waterside Restaurant are all pretty good. You can choose what suits you best. There are also late-night snacks available.
✅Accommodation
Staying at the hot spring hotel 🏨 or a hotel inside Lumingu Valley is very convenient. From the first floor of the hot spring hotel, you can see sika deer strolling leisurely outside the window – super cute!
✅Tips
✔️Bring your own swimwear 🩱, swimming rings 🛟, and kids' slippers.
✔️The resort is quite large. To get from the hotel to Lumingu Valley or the mountaintop park, you can contact the front desk to arrange a shuttle bus. If you don't want to wait, driving is quicker and more convenient.
