Explore Water Yadan with Kids! A 15-minute secret walking path to the Eye of Yadan with detailed guidance

🌟Water Yadan is actually a treasure trove for families! The natural wonder of the Eye of Yadan lets kids learn geography while having fun~ 🌟Say no to the 600 yuan off-road vehicle! Tested and proven: a free 15-minute walk with kids directly to the core scenic area, the route is simple and safe, with step-by-step instructions (see image 2), so kids can easily complete the whole journey! 🚶‍♀️Family-friendly hiking guide 🌟After getting off at the shuttle bus terminal, walk left along the lakeshore, bypass the small Yadan formations, and you’ll reach the Eye of Yadan. The entire route is flat with few slopes, suitable for children aged 5 and up. On the way back, you can take photos along the way to help ease the kids’ fatigue. ⚠️Be sure to avoid the off-road vehicle path (otherwise you’ll walk an extra 2 kilometers!). Water Yadan is at a relatively high altitude, so it’s recommended to give kids supplements like squalene before setting out to reduce the risk of altitude sickness. 📷Fun photo spots for kids: 1️⃣Top of the Eye of Yadan slope: capture moments of kids exploring the landforms from above (images 1/3) 2️⃣Lakeside Yadan formations: use the layered rocks as a backdrop for parent-child silhouettes (image 11) 3️⃣“Mars surface” area: guide kids to imitate astronaut poses (image 10) 4️⃣Camel caravan passing point: record natural interactions between kids and animals (image 12) 🌟If you bring a drone, you can capture a panoramic view of the “Fleet Yadan” (image 13), giving kids a direct understanding of the landforms. 📍Navigation: Wusute Water Yadan Geological Park, Haixi Prefecture, Qinghai 🎫Cost: Ticket 50 yuan + sightseeing bus 60 yuan (free for Zhejiang residents), off-road vehicle 600 yuan (this route saves you that) 💡Special tips for families: 1️⃣Follow the route in image 2 to avoid prolonged sun exposure for kids 2️⃣Children have weaker high-altitude adaptability; it’s recommended to start altitude sickness prevention supplements one week in advance 3️⃣Prepare lightweight long sleeves to prevent insect bites, paired with children’s sunscreen 4️⃣Bring small snacks to replenish energy and rest promptly after hiking 5️⃣Teach kids to recognize Yadan landform features for an educational and fun experience
