Taking my four-year-old to Qingyuan, I found this relaxing, no-rush itinerary itinerary—one that's fun and effortless! Moms should definitely copy my homework! On the first day, we headed straight to the Lianzhou Underground River. As a national 5A-level scenic spot, it's a natural geology classroom. The temperature inside the cave is a constant 18°C, making it a perfect place to visit with kids in the summer. Following our guide, we saw wondrous stalactite formations like "Immortal Field" and "Flying Elephant Crossing the River." My child kept pointing at the stalactites and asking questions, incredibly curious. The most fun part was the underground river boat ride. Sitting on the boat, we watched the stalactites on both sides transform under the lights. He excitedly reached out to touch the water, saying it felt like an "exploration." Just remember to wear non-slip shoes; the cave floor can be slippery. For lunch, we enjoyed authentic Qingyuan cuisine near the scenic area. I highly recommend trying the Beijiang River seafood. The steamed fish was so tender and juicy that he even ate an extra half bowl of rice. In the afternoon, we went to the Huangteng Gorge Ecological Tourism Area. Considering our child's young age, we opted for the Warrior Rafting. The 2-kilometer river course has a gentle current and takes about 1.5 hours, making it a perfect family experience. Sitting in a kayak, enjoying the canyon scenery while playing water fights with the child was a blast. Be sure to wear a life jacket for your child when rafting, and you can also bring a waterproof phone bag to capture these joyful moments. That night, we stayed in the Family Slide Room at the Xile Valley Hot Spring Resort. The room was a duplex with three beds, very spacious for our family of four. The balcony had its own private hot spring pool. After filling the water, the child couldn't wait to slide down and rush into the room, screaming with excitement. I even prepared a duck toy for him while he soaked in the hot springs, and he had a blast playing with it. The Phoenix Hot Springs area has many unique hot spring pools, and we chose one with a slightly cooler water temperature to soak with him for a while, relaxing after a long day. The next morning, we had a buffet breakfast at the hotel. The selection was incredibly diverse, with freshly steamed rice dumplings, wozai noodles, and handmade knife-cut glutinous rice cakes. My picky kid ate two big bowls. After dinner, we headed to the Planet Park, a massive non-powered playground with trampolines, jumping clouds, swings, and a meteor slide, where the kids had a blast. My husband and I also took the opportunity to relax, sitting on a nearby bench in the sun while watching the kids play with other children. It was a peaceful and peaceful time. For lunch, we headed to the Castle Restaurant at the Chimelong Giraffe Castle Hotel in Qingyuan. The moment we walked in, we were stunned! Section A specializes in Qingyuan specialties. The roast meat for dinner was glistening and fragrant, and the cloud-like soufflé was incredibly sweet. Section B is close to the restrooms, making it easy to leave the table mid-meal. What captivated my child most was the animated sculpture theater on the small stage. There were five to six 10-minute performances at breakfast and dinner, each featuring animated puppets and captivating storytelling. My child was transfixed the entire time, clapping as they ate. Before returning in the afternoon, we also visited the Qingyuan Public Picture Book Theme Museum, which houses over 3,500 picture books, including those that have won top global awards like the Hans Christian Andersen Award and the Caldecott Medal. My child selected a few of her favorites, and we settled into the comfortable reading area for some quiet family reading time. The library offers convenient self-service check-in and check-out services from all public libraries in the city. Finally, I'd like to share a few tips to avoid pitfalls: When hiking in Nanxiashan Forest Park, be sure to secure parking in advance. There's no large parking lot at the entrance, and there are no convenience stores or restrooms along the way, so bring plenty of water and supplies. The Qingyuan Cultural Tourism Card is a great value; for just 200 yuan, you can enjoy a year's worth of fun, including viewing flower fields in spring, rafting in summer, hot springs in autumn, and snowy winters. At less than 60 cents per day, it's perfect for traveling with children, dates, or families. The essence of family travel lies in these little joys hidden in the details. I hope this guide will help more mothers enjoy a wonderful family time in Qingyuan!
