Cross the Greater Khingan Range, open windows in the carriage for super healing photos 📎 Mom’s Anti-Pitfall Guide 1️⃣ Beware of "low-price tours": remote areas have inconvenient transport, choose pure-play small groups (Trip.com self-operated family tours are reliable) 2️⃣ Must-have Items: Light down jacket (big temperature difference in mountain mornings and evenings) Children’s mosquito repellent patches + physical sun protection hats Foldable toilet seat (some dry toilets are less hygienic) 3️⃣ Safety First: Avoid geological disaster-prone areas during rainy season Wear anti-slip stream trekking shoes when playing in streams
