Escape the city with the kids! 2-day family trip to Songpinggou, Maoxian

Unlock hidden gems around Chengdu with the kids—this Maoxian + Songpinggou trip was totally worth it, save this guide~ 1. Transportation 🚗: Super convenient from Chengdu! Take the 11:16 AM high-speed train, arrive in Maoxian by 12:19 PM. The train station connects directly to the bus station, 10 RMB bus to the county government, 6 RMB taxi to the hotel—no hassle with kids~ 2. Accommodation 🏨: Stay at "Qiancheng Qiansu Red Rose Hotel"【Pic 3】, super cute! Friendly prices, rooms with views of green mountains and watchtowers. The kids said waking up felt like "living inside a painting." Breakfast included, no need to get up early hunting for food~ 3. Day 1 Attractions 🌇: First visit the China Qiang Ethnic Museum【Pic 4】, few people, not crowded, great for kids to learn about Qiang culture; then skip the faraway China Ancient Qiang City and go to Pingtou Qiang Village【Pic 5】~ The original village is very unique, the Nuo Opera square is stunning, roadside roses are beautiful, took lots of photos of the kids【Pic 6】~ 4. Dinner 🍱: "Taste of Farmhouse Copper Pot"【Pic 7】is a must! Very popular, lots of meat and great flavor, the kids ate a full bowl~ After dinner, stroll along the river back to the hotel, the breeze is so pleasant 🏃‍♂️ 5. Day 2 Early Morning 🌅: 9:00 AM China Ancient Qiang City opening ceremony【Pic 8】was a bit disappointing, only 10 minutes with pigeons and simple performances, left quickly~ Took a pre-booked taxi to Songpinggou, round trip 70 RMB/person, 1.5 hours to arrive~ 6. In-depth Songpinggou Tour 🌊: Tickets 70 RMB/person, sightseeing bus one-way 50 RMB/person (bus up the mountain, walk down, easy with kids)~ - Changhai Lake【Pic 9-11】: Blue sky, white clouds, green mountains, and clear water. The kids ran and played here, every photo is healing~ - Five-Color Pool【Pic 12】: Water so clear you can see the moss at the bottom, kids curiously squatted there saying "like a transparent magic pool"~ - Love Sea【Pic 13-14】: The lake looks like the blue sky fell into the mountains, sunlight makes the waves sparkle like diamonds, stunning~ - Pearl Waterfall【Pic 16】: Photos behind the pavilion are amazing! The lake and mountains create a great atmosphere~ - Baishi Lake【Pic 17】: Pine trees line the boardwalk, gentle breeze sways the branches, a slow walk with the kids is super relaxing~ About 3 hours of touring, return to the county at 3:00 PM, visit the farmers' market to buy cherries at 8-12 RMB per jin【Pic 18】, great bargaining deals, the kids were so happy holding the cherries~ 7. Return 🚅: Take a 10 RMB taxi from the market entrance to the train station, 6:46 PM high-speed train back to Chengdu, a perfect 2-day trip with the kids ends~
