Grit your teeth and take your kids to Guizhou during the May Day holiday! These 3 pits almost made me cry and come back

Sisters! Take my advice - don't be fooled by Guizhou's "secret places"! We agreed to take the kids on a lie-down trip, but it almost turned into a wilderness survival trip... (but it smelled so good) 🔥Pit 1: The promised "worry-free parent-child tour" almost made me go crazy! The tour guide said it only takes 2 hours to get from Guiyang Amber Hotel to Huangguoshu, but it turned out to be extremely congested during the May Day holiday! My 4-year-old kid was crying in trio in the back seat, and I almost tore the seat belt...but! When we saw the mist from Huangguoshu Waterfall coming towards us, the whole family automatically turned off the noise! Standing under the Silver Chain Falling Pond Waterfall, the baby suddenly shouted: "Mom, is this the Water Curtain Cave of Sun Wukong?" (The old mother burst into tears, who knows 😭) ✅Tips to avoid pitfalls: When traveling with a tour group, you must choose a tour group that includes airport transfers! The swimming pool of Guiyang Amber Hotel saved my life - I threw my baby in there for half an hour at night and he turned into an angel baby in seconds👼 🔥Pit 2: Afternoon tea in the cave is romantic? It’s all mother’s blood and tears! The entrance to the cave for exploring the center of the earth looks like a rabbit hole, and the two kids were scared to tears after entering! The coach said "rappel 5 meters easily", I almost performed a vertical fall while holding my baby who was shaking like a sieve 😱 But! When the flashlight illuminated the trilobite fossil wall, the coach took out hot cocoa and cave-baked sweet potatoes - the human cub suddenly switched to archaeologist mode, holding up the stone and insisting that it was "dinosaur poop" 💩 ✅Life-saving guide: Let your child wear non-slip river trekking shoes! Remember to bring a golden reflector when taking photos in the cave. The Milky Way cave ceiling captured by the photographer is so stunning that it makes you want to cry😍 🔥Pit 3: Sour Soup Fish almost turned into "Family Splatoon"! While paddling a bamboo raft to watch the floating market at Xiaojing and Dajing in Luodian, an old lady on the shore enthusiastically gave me a bowl of red sour soup... The moment I drank it, my whole family's facial expressions collapsed! but! I met a grandma selling dragon fruit glutinous rice balls on the corner. 5 dollars saved the world! Key point 👉 Be sure to choose the evening session for Tiankeng paddle boarding! The emerald green river water was dyed into dragon fruit color by the sunset, and my kid announced on the spot that he wanted to be a "rowing pirate"🏴‍☠️ ✅ Foodie defense line: carry children’s probiotics with you! The starry sky theme meal at the Light Years Away Hotel is amazing. The steak is cut into the shape of a little astronaut, and the picky eater will take the initiative to clean the plate🪐 💥Shocking Easter Eggs: There are 789 steps to climb to the China Sky Eye Observation Deck! Just when I was about to curse, the staff took out the "climb the stairs to exchange for meteorites" activity - the kids held real space meteorite fragments and jumped down the mountain ✨ The braised pork feet in Qingyan Ancient Town are ridiculously delicious! Hide in the corner of the century-old city wall and eat it, it’s 100 times more delicious than the Internet celebrity restaurant! To be honest, after this trip my kids will be able to recite "Suspected Milky Way Falling from the Sky", it's worth it! Finally, a roaring reminder: you must wear wading shoes when going to the big and small wells! The pebbles at the bottom of the river are so slippery that you can dance a waltz, and the splash my husband made when he fell was higher than the splash of the bamboo raft... (The video has been saved in the black history collection 🤫) Sisters, hurry up! Next article reveals the secret 👉 30 minutes of losing a baby in a karst tiankeng... (The ending is so heartwarming!)
