Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai moms taking their kids to cool off in the summer—once the kids are let loose, they don’t want to go home! Lishui Nayun~

Who understands! Visiting Lishui Nayun Resort for the second time, I actually discovered an even more amazing way to enjoy it than the first time—Miyazaki-style cliff castle 🏰 + 24-hour parent-child fun, the kids played wildly for 3 days and didn’t want to leave, and this tired mom could finally relax on vacation! Here’s a detailed, nanny-level relaxation guide—just bring your kids and go for it 👇 🚂 Day 1: Enter the cloud castle and start the fairy tale mode Check-in Tips: It’s recommended to choose a room in Area A! It’s super close to Yunxian Street, the splash pool, and the coffee bar, so less walking with kids = more energy 🔋! • Little train arrival ceremony: Ride the pink little train “toot toot toot” into the lobby, and the kids instantly become “fairy tale protagonists,” shouting all the way, “It’s like entering a magic school!” 🧙‍♀️ (Missed the on-time train? Just scan the shuttle code anytime, wave your hand and it stops—super thoughtful~) • Inner Earth Jurassic → kids’ scream zone: As soon as you enter the cave, dinosaur roars explode! The kids cling to my leg, scared but curious, and finally dared to touch the dinosaur’s tail (the interactive mechanism is amazing, sound effects + lighting make the dinosaurs “come alive” 🦖)! In the challenge game, the kids tiptoe to press buttons, crawl through caves, shouting “Mom, I want to save the dinosaurs!” and played until they were sweating~ • Cloud Mirror Sky Splash Pool → wild fun at high altitude: A transparent pool on the cliff edge! In the afternoon, sunlight pours down, the water is as blue as a gem 💎, the kids splash around in swimsuits while I lounge at the coffee bar watching the view (coffee + high-altitude view, full healing vibes ☕). • Sandpit → cool surprise: There’s a sandpit hidden deep inside the cave! It’s super cool at 25°C inside, kids walk barefoot on the sand, digging all over and not afraid to get sandy (finally, this tired mom doesn’t have to play in the sun, so touching 😭)~ 🛀 Day 2: Cold springs + arcade games, covering the kids’ “water and fun” Area B Cold Springs → summer water play mastery: • The cold spring pools are super private! Each pool has its own curtain, so while the kids play in the water, I can hide behind the curtain and scroll on my phone (social anxiety mom’s joy 🙊). The water temperature is just right, leaving you refreshed after soaking, and kids who fear sunburn can enjoy “water play freedom” here~ • Play area → energy outlet: After soaking, head straight to the indoor playground! Climbing nets, slides to play wildly, and even better, the arcade + VR experience: kids hold game controllers fighting monsters, wear VR glasses shouting “The dinosaur is going to eat me!” 👾, while I film videos on the side, directly saving them into the “embarrassing history” album hhh~ • Cloud Sea Sunbathing Area → bubble battle: At 7 pm, the bath area instantly turns into a “bubble universe”! Kids chase bubbles, I follow taking photos, and when the flash goes off, it feels like stepping into the magical night of “Spirited Away” ✨ (remember to bring a bathrobe, wrapping up after playing is super warm~) 🐰 Day 3: Cute pets + market, packing the fairy tale to take home • Cute Pet Park → can’t stop petting: Get up early to feed alpacas and bunnies! Kids hold out carrots, alpacas come over to lick hands, the soft touch makes kids laugh like geese 🐇 (remember to bring disinfectant wipes, wiping hands after touching is safer~). • Inner Earth Secret Market → full of artistic vibes: ◦ Moutai Coffee → tipsy happiness: Have a cup of “Moutai coffee,” the coffee aroma mixed with liquor scent, one sip is super relaxing (kids draw She ethnic sachets nearby, a peaceful happiness ☕). ◦ T-shirt Graffiti → exclusive souvenirs: Pick a white T-shirt and draw patterns with the kids, take it home as a “Nayun limited edition,” a huge sense of accomplishment 🎨! ◦ Mineral Museum → niche surprise: The museum at the exit holds various minerals, kids squat down to look at “glowing stones,” suddenly asking “Mom, is this a gem?” curiosity fully sparked 💎~ 🍴 Eating and relaxing guide: worry-free and delicious • Area A Cloud Nourishing Buffet → breakfast feast: Freshly made rice noodles, desserts, fruits… kids run around with plates saying “The breakfast here is magical, it has everything!” 🍳 • Yunfu Chinese Restaurant → local flavors: Must order Lishui tofu and creek fish, fresh and flavorful, kids eat two bowls of rice 🍚~ • Area B Buffet → crayfish freedom: Summer-only crayfish buffet! Spicy, garlic-flavored… kids can’t stop peeling 🦞 (secret tip: go at night when fewer people, you can enjoy the food alone~) • Yuncheng Craft Beer → nightlife surprise: Have a craft beer for a late-night snack, listen to the resident singer playing, kids yawn at the table, and this tired mom finally feels the “vacation vibe” 🍻~ 💡 Must-see tips for bringing kids: 1. Shuttle bus = life-saving tool: The resort is huge, just scan the “call car code” anytime, wave and it stops, so no sore legs after a day of walking with kids! 2. Choose a room in Area A: Close to the core area, kids can rest anytime, saving energy 💪! 3. Must-bring gear: Change of clothes (splash pool and soaking will get you wet), sun hat (still need sun protection outdoors), sand toys (can be used in the inner earth sandpit!), disinfectant wipes (wipe hands after touching pets and playing in sand). 4. Photo spots: Cliff train (aerial shots of the resort are stunning), Cloud Mirror Pool (high-altitude portraits are amazing), Inner Earth Cave (dinosaurs as background, full atmosphere)~ Lishui Nayun is simply a “cheat code” for parent-child vacations 🎠: kids run wild in a fairy tale, moms relax in the coffee aroma, three days and two nights are never enough! Next time, I’ll bring the kids for a third visit and check off all the projects we didn’t finish~ Quickly save this guide, and this summer break, take your kids into Miyazaki’s world!
