8.7 Just returned from Pingtan with kids - sharing my personal takeaways

Our family just came back from Beihai with our little one! Before the trip, we thought packing enough diapers would suffice, but realized family travel requires so much more preparation! Stayed up late compiling this ultimate parenting travel guide - moms, save this now! 🌊 Must-know Beihai tips for traveling with kids ✅ SPF50+++ sunscreen is a must! Baby's delicate skin needs protection - we packed sun-protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and baby sunscreen ✅ Tanmen Bay is least crowded at 8am! Perfect for stress-free family photos. Bring sand toys - kids can play happily for 2 hours ✅ Be cautious when buying seafood with kids! Only choose places with clear price tags to avoid scams ✅ Xianrenjing is stroller-friendly! The mountaintop viewing platform offers panoramic views while baby naps comfortably in a carrier ✅ Shell Beach is a kid's paradise! Bring small buckets for shell collecting - our 3-year-old didn't want to leave ✅ Longwangtou sunrise requires early rising! We left at 5am with a small blanket for baby, then returned to hotel for naptime ✅ Changjiang'ao is most pleasant at dusk!
