Life Advice: Take Your Kids to Guizhou During Summer Vacation

What's it like to bring your child into a real-life version of National Geographic? Chasing sunsets across Wanfenglin, exploring caves in sinkholes as "junior geologists," sleeping in forest treehouses counting stars... This **Xingyi Family Travel Guide**, raved by 200+ families, is your perfect summer homework to copy and go! 🌟 Why Choose Xingyi? ✔️ China’s Colorado + Watery Guilin: Majestic waterfalls at Maling River, endless peaks and rice fields in Wanfenglin, and the fairy-tale castle on Wanfeng Lake—every step is a natural geology lesson! ✔️ Kid-Focused Adventures: Digging up 240-million-year-old Guizhou dinosaur fossils, catching fish barehanded in rice paddies, cave exploring and ziplining—kids won’t want to leave! ✔️ Cool Summer + Glamping Bliss: 23°C breezy days, staying in B&Bs under the peaks or stargazing in forest treehouses—parents get to relax while the kids play! 📅 Daily Itinerary **Day 1: Step into a Peak-Filled Fairy Tale** ✈️ Fly to Guiyang, then head straight to Xingyi—get charmed by Wanfenglin’s "bun-shaped hills" the moment you arrive! 🌾 Stay at **Fengxi Inn** with rice fields right outside your window. Explore the ancient Buyi village of Nahui, watch grandma weave cloth, and chase golden hour light across the fields—every photo looks like a Studio Ghibli scene! **Day 2: Be a Water Warrior for a Day** 🏰 Visit the lakeside "Swan Castle" (Jilong Fort) 🌾 Afternoon fun in Wanfenglin: Ride a mini-train through geometric rice fields, jump barefoot into paddies to catch fish, and laugh rolling in the mud! **Day 3: Earth’s Scar Adventure vs. Fossil Hunter** 🌊 Hike through Maling River Gorge—get splashed by waterfalls and marvel at travertine cliffs like natural carvings! 🔍 Fossil Digging: Hunt for crinoid fossils with experts at the geology museum. **Day 4: Cave Explorer or Forest Detective** 🕳️ Heart-pounding caving! Gear up for via ferrata climbing and ziplining over underground rivers—stalactites glow under headlamps, like stepping into *Avatar*! 🌳 (Another group chose forest trekking, foraging wild mushrooms and identifying herbs.) **Day 5: Goodbye in the Morning Mist** 🌫️ Wake early to see misty peaks like ink paintings! Breakfast on the treehouse balcony—your kid will beg, "Mom, let’s stay here again next time!" 🏨 Accommodation Picks • **Fengxi Inn (Wanfenglin)**: A white hideaway in the scenic area, peaks visible from your balcony, 5 mins to rice fields, plus cozy tents in family rooms! • **Yuntun Starry Glamping Hotel**: Must-stay treehouses! Private terraces, stargazing on hammocks with your kid, and waking up to birdsong—pure forest magic! 🧾 Costs & Pro Tips 💰 ~¥5k/person (includes 4 nights, tickets, activities, private car). Flights/trains to Xingyi not included. 📌 Pack: Grippy shoes (for caving), light jacket (cool evenings), bug spray (forest areas). ⚠️ Key note: Choose between paddleboarding/fossil digging *or* caving/trekking—tailor to your child’s age! **[Private Car Tours] [Custom Trips] [Family-Only Groups]** available!
