"Seeing the mist rising on the other peaks, I didn't know that I was among the clouds." Recently I calmed down and took my children to Yichang for summer vacation. I encountered this place that made me feel happy. I endured it for a long time and thought about how to share it with you in words. Because its beauty is elusive and difficult to describe with my poor literary talent. I would like to call it "Yichang's private place to watch the sea of ​​clouds, sunrise and summer vacation" Here you can see the sunrise, the sea of ​​clouds, and grass skiing. There is a powered amusement park, off-road vehicles, bonfire parties, fireworks, barbecues, tea picking, all kinds of seasonal fruits, rock climbing, jungle crossings for children and adults, and an open-air ktv. It’s so nice to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and be yourself freely for a day. About eating Includes breakfast After you move in, the staff will give you a piece of fruit and honey. I drank water for lunch and had stir-fry dishes for dinner (Yichang’s delicacies include pressed peppers, stir-fried bacon, firewood tofu, fried crispy fish, etc.) There is also a barbecue available during the bonfire party in the evening About accommodation There are double rooms and standard rooms suitable for a family of three, as well as suites suitable for a family of three generations. The house is built on a hundred acres of terraced tea gardens, and you can also brew your own high mountain tea on the large terrace. Enjoy the Milky Way starry sky at night In the early morning, open the gauze curtains and lie in bed to watch the sunrise. (When the sky is sunny) and the sea of ​​clouds (on rainy days, there will be a spectacular sea of ​​clouds) About playing 1 Sunrise (around 5:30 in the morning) Sea of ​​clouds (some cloudy days) Star air conditioner at night 2Take your children to experience tea picking and various seasonal fruits during the day 3. There is a children's unpowered playground next to the B&B, where you can climb rocks. There is also a climbing and play area for children in the woods. 4There is also a large grass skating ground inside Family mountain bike ride, a 5-kilometer loop Not many people know about this place, so it’s not over-exploited. Sisters who like to take pictures can just close their eyes and take pictures. If you don’t want to stay, you can go and play directly, no tickets are required! Tips for traveling with kids The altitude here is more than 1,000 meters, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is quite large. It is suitable for summer vacation. Remember to bring long sleeves and long pants for your baby. Wear comfortable clothes for your baby to play with The sunrise over the sea of ​​clouds is the most worth seeing. Don’t miss it. Remember to open the curtains in the morning and lie on the bed to watch it.
