Hi~ I'm a mom braving the countryside with my 5-year-old👩👦! Just checked out from Wanxiang Qinggu Homestay - the mountain views were picturesque, but the kid-friendly traps made me want to jump into the river! Read this before you go👇 💡【Copy This 3-Day 2-Night Itinerary】 Day1: Shoot the 20 Yuan Bill at Xingping Ancient Town → Chase sunset at Laozhai Mountain → Try beer fish at West Street Day2: Get soaked on Yulong River bamboo rafts → Rock climbing in Ten-Mile Gallery → Watch sea of clouds at Xianggong Mountain Day3: Scooter ride to Longji Terraces → Play in water at Hongtan Waterfall → Pose at Zhuangyuan Bridge 🌈【Attractions Kids Love-Hate】 ✅ Wanxiang Qinggu Homestay (Watch your kids!) The glass house in rice fields is breathtaking🌾! BUT! The homestay's cows chased my kid for carrots, terrifying him into climbing a tree screaming "Mom the Bull Demon King is coming!"🐂 The chickens and ducks running everywhere turned into my kid chasing poultry and falling into puddles... ✅ Yulong River Bamboo Raft (Bring spare clothes!) The leisurely hand-rowed raft was so relaxing🛶! But my brat insisted on playing with water guns and sprayed a girl on another raft - I apologized until my lips cramped😅 We all returned soaked like drowned rats... ✅ Ten-Mile Gallery Rock Climbing (Choose beginner routes!) My 5-year-old insisted on intermediate routes🧗♂️, got stuck halfway and cried so loud the whole village came to watch! The coach carried him down like a little turtle - so embarrassing I wanted to disappear... ⚠️【Bloody Lessons Learned】 1️⃣ Never book "Field View Room"! Floor-to-ceiling windows face rice fields - we were woken at 5am by frog concerts🐸, kid cried "The toads are having a music festival!" 2️⃣ Skip strollers at Laozhai Mountain! Stone steps are like climbing to heaven - almost rolled down carrying my kid 3️⃣ Choose powerful scooters for Longji Terraces! Ours died halfway - pushed 3km while kid yelled "Giddy up!" from the seat😤 🚗【Transport & Stay Tips】 ✔️ At Yangshuo Station, only take taxis with "Gui C" plates! Scammers charged 50 yuan extra and my kid got carsick🍃 ✔️ Homestay breakfast rice noodles with tea eggs are perfect! But my kid used eggs as marbles - spent ages finding them in rice fields🥚 ✔️ Leash pets! The landlord's dog chased our cat everywhere - kid cried "We must protect the space cat!"🐱 🍜【Foodie Survival Guide】 ✔️ Shred bamboo chicken for kids! Mine couldn't chew drumsticks and threw them to the homestay dog🍗 ✔️ West Street beer fish is spicy even at mild! Kid downed 3 AD Calcium milks to cool down🔥 ✔️ Avoid scenic spot bamboo rice! Hard rice almost broke kid's baby tooth - his wails echoed through Li River... Biggest surprise was Hongtan Waterfall💦! Kid skipped stones in shallow water and actually hit a swimming grass carp🐟~ Though I washed my mud-monster 8 times daily, when he hugged a duckling at checkout saying "Let's take it home", suddenly even the cow chases felt worth it!

#discoverchina #guilin Visiting Guilin's Zhuangyuan Bridge is a delightful escape into the picturesque countryside. Just a 40-minute drive from downtown Guilin, you can park by the roadside and explore two ancient stone bridges, each offering slightly different views. The outer bridge is perfect for capturing stunning shots of the surrounding peaks from the roadside, while the left bridge frames a more open landscape, and the right one highlights the serene water and bridge itself. The area is a postcard-perfect scene of vast rice fields and rolling hills, occasionally animated by local farmers and water buffalo—great for adding rustic charm to your photos. For the best shots, wear light, airy outfits like a white sundress, and don’t miss the chance to photograph the buffalo and elderly locals (sometimes hired by other visitors). Bring sunscreen and bug spray, especially in summer, and consider a drone for breathtaking aerial views. Extend your trip with a visit to nearby Tianxin Village, and allow at least two hours to soak in the tranquil beauty of this idyllic spot.

Zhuangyuan Bridge: A place that offers stunning photo opportunities in every season. Visiting in March without experiencing the misty Zhuangyuan Bridge is like missing a glimpse of paradise. - Tianxin Village's Zhuangyuan Bridge. There are actually two bridges, also known as the Mandarin Duck Bridges. I wonder... Why is everyone crowding around the ancient bridge by the roadside? Doesn't anyone realize that the other ancient bridge is just as beautiful for photos? - Photo tip: Bring props. Oil-paper umbrellas, traditional Chinese clothing, white dresses... Transportation: The road is narrow and parking is limited. You can park in the village parking lot. After visiting Zhuangyuan Bridge, take the opportunity to explore this ancient village. A village known for its remarkable scholars: "Nine Jinshi from One Family, Father and Son, Both Hanlin Scholars."

Continue to explore the different Guilin landscapes: Huixian County is not well-known in Guilin, but its niche is more unique. The Zhuangyuan Bridge in the mountains, even though the rice fields have been harvested, the small bridges and flowing water, and the mountains and mountains, give it a sense of seclusion. Traveling from the mountain path all the way to the Huixian Glass Field, I climbed to the top of the mountain and looked down. I suddenly realized that it looked like a big piece of broken glass had broken into the field. The other green and yellow fields and the hills with lush bamboo shoots were all there. Blockbusters.
