Finally found the perfect city for family trips with kids! Xingyi is truly a hidden gem! Especially the Xingyi Mushroom Hotel, the moment the kids saw it, they were instantly enchanted, pulling me straight into the mushroom house, saying this is "baby’s fairy tale home"～ 💡Family travel tips! Save this and don’t forget! ✅Huangguoshu Waterfall is stunning for photos, but be sure to bring raincoats and waterproof covers when getting close to the falls! Otherwise, your phone or camera might get soaked, trust me, the mist is really heavy! ✅Book your Wanfenglin homestay in advance! In advance! In advance! Important things said three times! Booking last minute during peak season is not only expensive but might mean no rooms available, which can really mess up your plans! ✅For those wanting to shoot beautiful Wanfenglin countryside photos, avoid the rice harvest season! Only lush green rice fields make great shots; bare fields are not photogenic at all～ ✅Xingyi has lots of mosquitoes, especially for kids! Always carry mosquito repellent and spray in your bag, spray the kids anytime, or they’ll get bitten and cry nonstop～ 🏨【Kids’ Favorite: Mushroom Hotel】 📍Xingyi Mushroom Luxury Wild Hotel Who can resist a mushroom-shaped hotel! 🍄 As soon as you enter, it feels like stepping into a fairy tale world, with giant mushroom houses lining the streets, perfect for photos!
