Decisively give up Sanya, this place makes kids not want to go home

Between Sanya and Chongzuo, decisively choose Chongzuo, it's really fun❗️ ✨Itinerary 🛬 Day 1: Arrive in Chongzuo and head to "Zai Ye Su Ji" Resort. The entire resort is a collection of homestays from multiple brands, with mushroom-shaped thatched villas scattered among banana groves and mango trees, full of tropical rainforest atmosphere. 🔥Rich family-friendly facilities and activities: · PAPAYA Park allows feeding Sulcata tortoises, goats, and other small animals. · Free bicycle rentals (including children's bikes) are available in the park for leisurely rides. · There are private pools and rooftop infinity pools for kids to play. · Evening activities include outdoor movies and releasing Kongming lanterns. · You can also experience bamboo rafting, kayaking, and paddleboarding on the Black Water River. 🌊 Day 2: Detian Transnational Waterfall Wonder · Morning: After breakfast, head to Detian Transnational Waterfall (about 1.5-2 hours by car). Detian Waterfall is the largest transnational waterfall in Asia and the fourth largest in the world. It is recommended to depart between 8-9 AM and arrive by 10-11 AM to avoid peak queues. Be sure to take a bamboo raft for a close-up view of the waterfall (about 30 RMB/person) to feel the majestic power and mist of the waterfall. Remember to prepare quick-dry clothes and waterproof shoe covers/crocs for the kids, as the waterfall mist is heavy and can soak you in minutes. · Afternoon: Visit the waterfall viewing platform to overlook the Sino-Vietnam border river scenery. Then explore the Sino-Vietnam border market, where you can buy Vietnamese specialties like coffee and White Tiger balm. Teach the kids simple Vietnamese phrases like "Xin chào" (hello) to enjoy the fun of cross-border trading. · Evening: Stay overnight in Daxin County or the Mingshi Tianyuan area. If the weather is good, bring telescopes for stargazing with the kids and experience the peaceful and beautiful border night. 🏨 Accommodation suggestions: Various options near Detian Waterfall or Mingshi Tianyuan area: · Laomumian Hotel: Window views of the Sino-Vietnam border river, with lights from Vietnam visible at night · Chongzuo Secret Realm Lishi Resort: A fairyland hotel surrounded by karst landforms, featuring a children's playground and swimming pool 🏞️ Day 3: Mingshi Tianyuan Ink Painting Landscape · Morning: After breakfast, enjoy cycling in Mingshi Tianyuan. You can rent parent-child electric scooters (about 15 RMB/hour) or bicycles to ride along rural paths, passing rice fields, bamboo forests, and Zhuang ethnic villages. Mingshi Tianyuan was a filming location for "The Journey of Flower," with karst peaks reflected in clear river water like a natural ink painting. · Afternoon: Experience bamboo rafting in Mingshi Tianyuan (ticket about 110-150 RMB). The raft moves slowly while the boatman explains local customs and legends. Afterwards, participate in rice field farming activities to teach kids the meaning of "every grain is hard-earned." · Evening: If staying at a resort or homestay in Mingshi Tianyuan, join a Zhuang ethnic bonfire party, enjoy ethnic singing and dancing performances, bamboo pole dancing, and taste Zhuang specialties like five-color glutinous rice and bamboo tube rice. 🐒 Day 4: Nature Exploration and Cave Wonders · Morning: After breakfast, head to Tongling Grand Canyon (about 1-1.5 hours by car). This is an excellent place for hiking to see canyons and waterfalls. You can trek through the primeval forest and admire picturesque canyons and waterfall clusters. The scenic area requires a lot of walking, so ensure kids wear non-slip sports shoes and bring plenty of drinking water. · Afternoon: Visit Dragon Palace Wonderland (about 30-40 minutes by car). This is a karst natural cave with a constant temperature of 18°C, spring-like all year round and very comfortable. The stalactites inside are stunning under the lights, making kids feel like they have entered a fairy tale world. · Evening: Return to Chongzuo city and enjoy local specialties such as Zhuang-style roast suckling pig and sour porridge duck. 🏯 Day 5: Ecological Wonders and Return · Morning: Visit the Guangxi Chongzuo White-headed Langur National Nature Reserve. The white-headed langur is one of the 25 endangered primates worldwide, with only about 1,000 left globally, even rarer than the giant panda and known as a "living fossil." Over 400 white-headed langurs live in the reserve. The best time to observe them is early morning or late afternoon when they are most active. · Afternoon: Depending on time and interest, visit the Huashan Rock Art Scenic Area. Take a boat tour on the Ming River to see red rock paintings over 2,000 years old. The guide will explain the meanings of various patterns and let children try rock painting rubbings, which is very interesting. · Evening: Depending on your return schedule, you can buy local specialties at the Chongzuo farmers' market, such as Vietnamese cashews and areca nut powder, then head to Nanning Wuxu Airport or the high-speed rail station to end your pleasant Chongzuo trip. 💡 Practical Tips for Family Travel 1. Best travel season: May to October is a good time to visit Chongzuo, with abundant waterfall water flow. Note that July and August can be hot, so prepare for sun protection and heat prevention. 2. Transportation suggestions: · Chongzuo attractions are scattered; self-driving or chartering a car is the most convenient way to travel. For charter, a 7-seat business vehicle costs about 300-600 RMB/day. · The Hena Expressway is known as "China's most beautiful highway," with excellent scenery along the way. 3. Family essentials: · Sun protection: Guangxi has strong sunlight, so bring sunscreen, sun hats, and sunglasses · Mosquito repellent: Essential for outdoor activities, as there are many mosquitoes in the mountains · Comfortable shoes: Lots of walking in scenic areas, especially non-slip sports shoes for canyon hiking · Light jacket: Temperature differences can be large inside and outside caves and in the early morning and evening · Rain gear: You may get wet when viewing Detian Waterfall, so prepare raincoats or quick-dry clothes
