Took the kids to 22°C Xingyi – more breathtaking than Switzerland!✨

While others were sweating in the heat, my child and I escaped to 22°C Xingyi for a refreshing summer getaway! Hands down: this hidden gem is so cool and comfy you won’t want to leave. 📍Must-Visit Spots 1. **Wanfenglin Forest** (🌿Karst Wonderland) - Highlights: Praised by Xu Xiake as "peaks forming a forest," where idyllic fields, villages, and mountains blend like an ink painting. 3°C cooler than downtown. - Kid-Friendly Fun: ✅ Panoramic views from the sightseeing bus ✅ Bike along field ridges, touch rice ears, and spot cows/sheep (shady and breezy!) ✅ Hot air balloon rides (ages 3+), unlocking the "earth's fingerprints" from above - Must-Eat: 🔥Wanfenglin fried rice with eggs (paired with pickled radish is a must!) and five-color sticky rice 2. **Maling River Gorge** (💦Earth’s Most Beautiful Scar) - Highlights: Hundred-meter waterfalls cascading into the gorge, averaging 20°C with ultra-high negative oxygen ions. - Kid-Friendly Fun: ✅ Chase waterfalls along the gorge trail (wear non-slip shoes!) ✅ Brave kids can try rafting (ages 6+, screaming in the waves is super stress-relieving) - Must-Eat: Steamed "sweating chicken" (tender broth that’s insanely fresh) and sour-spicy fish (appetizing and tangy) 3. **Jilong Castle** (🏰Fairytale Lake Castle) - Highlights: Gothic castle + Wanfeng Lake, with breezy lakeside vibes—perfect for cooling off and photos. - Kid-Friendly Fun: ✅ Cross the long bridge into the castle and tell fairytales on the terrace ✅ Take a boat tour around the castle for epic photos (super breezy on board) - Must-Eat: Steamed lake fish (freshly caught, so tender it falls apart) 🏨Top Stays for Families - 🍄 **Mushroom Glamping Hotel**: Kids adore it! Mushroom-themed rooms + playground, barely need AC. - ♨️ **Muyun Hot Spring Hotel**: A cool forest retreat with family suites featuring slides—perfect for evening strolls. 🚗Easy Transport - Fly to Xingyi Airport (✈️direct flights from many cities) or take a 1.5h high-speed train from Guiyang. - Taxi/rental car in town (scenic spots are <30min apart; even cracked windows bring cool breezes). 💡 Tips: Summer temps ~22°C! Pack a light jacket for temp shifts + sunscreen. Just go—it’s the ultimate kid-friendly summer escape!
