Live Your Best Lives
The countdown to winter vacation has begun, so how will the children plan their "winter vacation + Spring Festival" vacation? With people's living conditions improving, and perhaps because more and more people born in the 1980s and even the 1990s have become parents, holiday travel has long become a must-do for every family.
I once read an article that roughly said:
Assuming you take your children on trips three times a year, from the time your children are born until they are 12 years old, you only have 36 opportunities to travel with them.
When your children reach the age of 12, they will basically go to summer camp or winter camp during the summer and winter vacations. They may prefer to be with their friends, or because of the heavy workload, their parents have fewer and fewer opportunities to travel.
It’s terrifying to think about it carefully. Don’t you suddenly feel that every trip with your children is very precious, because every time you play, you miss one more time...
Note 1: According to relevant data surveys, less than 70% of families can take 1-3 family trips a year, which means that most Chinese families will not travel more than three times a year.
Perhaps I am more popular with children. I have led many parent-child tours and there are also some young parents around me. I have also had some discussions about parent-child travel:
@小汤圆妈妈 said:
It is too troublesome to take children out. There are so many bags and I have to take care of them all, so they are not fun at all.
@Li Zi's father said:
My children are too young to remember the places we visited when we traveled. It would be a waste of time and energy. I'll wait until they are older...
@Coco's mom said:
Kids these days are so overloaded with schoolwork, and they're stuck in all sorts of cram schools and interest classes on weekends, during winter and summer vacations. They have no time to go out and play. We'd love to take them out, but when they get home, they'll be faced with a mountain of unfinished homework.
@笑笑妈妈 said:
I often take my children out to play, but every time I choose a route, it is for the children. That is simply the ultimate test of my emotions and physical strength. When the children are playing, I can only play with my mobile phone on the side. Over time, I still choose to go to the mall and enjoy the air conditioning.
…
, after summarizing, it can be roughly divided into the following points:
1. Trouble
At home, there are grandparents or aunts at the grandparents' house to help take care of the children. When traveling, only the father or mother can take care of the children and have to carry a lot of things that the children need. Changing hotels during the trip is probably the most painful time for mothers, packing.
2. “It’s a waste of time to go”
This is a common misconception, as most people assume their children are too young to know anything about the places they've been to, the stories they've heard, and the sights they've seen. This is a typical example of Chinese parents acting from their own perspective, "for the good of the child," rather than from the child's perspective.
3. Heavy workload
In traditional Chinese concepts, "play" is ultimately associated with idleness and the loss of ambition. "Studying is the primary task of a student; when you grow up, you can play" is a saying I've heard since I was a child.
4. Danger
Children are prone to getting sick and suffering from acclimatization when they go out. They may not be able to eat or sleep well in unfamiliar places. There is no better place than your own doghouse.
Among them, the first and second points are the most common. However, more and more reports about "hot mom taking 1-year-old baby to travel" and "parents taking 8-month-old baby on a wild adventure" will always plant the seeds of expectation in the hearts of parents born in the 80s and 90s, waiting for the right time to "germinate".
If you don't take your children out to see the world from a young age, how can you cultivate their worldview? The ancients said, "Read ten thousand books, and travel ten thousand miles." Today's inspirational quotes often say, "One of the body and soul must always be on the road."
I once led a group and met a child named Niu Niu. Her first activity was a rafting trip. The itinerary was relaxing, and there were many other children in the group. However, Niu Niu was very shy. Although she came up to introduce herself, she did so quietly. Niu Niu's mother said that she was actually quite boisterous, but she just wasn't familiar with the group yet. After that, my weekend friends circle would always see Niu Niu's mother bringing her to our various activities. I saw her again by chance at the Huanglong Sports Center, almost a year after that first meeting. I noticed she had completely changed. She greeted strangers with ease and confidence, no longer shy. Afterward, another group leader told me that she was very good at introducing herself and performing her own routines.
Later, whenever I thought about this, I always felt that Niu Niu's changes were what many parents wanted to see, or that frequently taking children to establish their own children's social circles would definitely have a positive effect on their future growth.
Of course, learning is also important. After all, traveling thousands of miles begins with reading thousands of books (the ancients always have a point). I once read an article titled "Sorry, Mom and Dad Can't Give You an 800,000 RMB School District Apartment." The parents in the article took their children on a global tour. While other children were attending cram schools or begging their children to attend early childhood education programs, they chose to take their children on a global tour. I strongly support this, as they didn't force their children to give up their studies; they simply took them to see the world when they had time (assuming they had a dad who could take photos).
One day in the future, I hope I can travel around the world with my own children and make their childhood full of color.
I often hear friends with children complain about the challenges of traveling with them. "Kids have fun while parents watch" has become the defining characteristic of most parent-child trips. Parent-child travel has gradually evolved into "parent-accompanying children," with parents following wherever the children go. Parents often find little other entertainment or leisure during travel besides playing with their phones, leaving them feeling exhausted and uninspired.
Six years ago, the first season of Mango TV's "Where Are We Going, Dad?" debuted, opening the door to parent-child variety shows in China and spurring the rapid development of parent-child travel. Online travel agencies and offline travel agencies have launched their own parent-child travel products. However, parent-child travel does not equal family travel; many parent-child tours are just "travel" without the parent-child relationship.
First of all, parents and children must participate together (even if only the father or mother is accompanying). Intergenerational parent-child travel cannot be regarded as a true parent-child travel (grandparents or grandparents and other older generations). After all, the parent-child relationship refers to the relationship between parents and children.
Parents and children are the closest blood relatives and form an integral part of the family. A healthy parent-child relationship and a harmonious family atmosphere are the foundation of education and the underlying code that determines a child's lifelong happiness.
Secondly, travel in the form of play is more than just play. Beyond play, children and parents must gain something. Even if it's just a child making a good friend, learning a life skill, or even making some progress this time. No matter how many experiences and attractions are incorporated into the itinerary, the ultimate goal is for children to gain gratitude, friends, skills, and knowledge from this trip.
On the show "Where Are We Going, Dad?", actor Jordan Chan took his son Jasper on the show. In one episode, the hot-tempered "Young and Dangerous" character, Jordan Chan, was overly impatient with Jasper. Jasper raised a megaphone and, in a soft, sweet voice, said, "Can you stop being angry now?" With his adorable yet stubborn face, Jordan Chan said in an interview that he hadn't expected Jasper to act this way. This independent trip with his son had revealed many valuable qualities in Jasper.
If possible, give your child a chance to travel independently after he or she starts elementary school. You will find that when you are not around, your child's performance will be beyond your expectations.
Lately, many parents have been asking me about winter break travel plans and tips. There's a wide variety of options, from short one- or two-day trips around the city, to week-long domestic trips, and even international trips. With the winter break just around the corner, I've compiled a partial guide for winter break travel. If you find any incomplete suggestions, please send me a private message or leave a comment. I'm striving to share some ideas for various family travel options.
Every child deserves a winter trip to play in the snow. Especially for those of us in the south, places with falling snow are our absolute dream. Even years later, even with my own children, I still miss the snow in winter and yearn for places with snow. For us, not playing in the snow is like a fake winter.
ski
If you want to take your children to see what the winter fairy tale world of ice and snow looks like, many people’s first reaction may be: Snow Town.
The TV series "Where Are We Going, Dad?" made Xuexiang a nationwide sensation, instantly attracting so many tourists that rooms were hard to come by. Yes, Xuexiang's snow mushrooms may satisfy our winter fantasies, but did you know that this winter fairytale world isn't limited to Xuexiang?
Kanas loses its autumnal charm in winter, and the towering birch trees along the roadside are unrestrained in the heavy snow. Kanas' winter also boasts classic winter features, including snow mushrooms, rime, snowy forests, and snow-capped mountains. Most importantly, flights to Xinjiang are incredibly affordable. Compared to summer fares that often cost over 3,000 yuan, these are truly incredible deals. Flights from Urumqi to Altay, Kanas, Yining, Kashgar, and other destinations are all around 300 yuan. Isn't that tempting? Take the kids on a snowy vacation!
On October 17, 2019, with the arrival of the first snow in many places in the Altay region of northern Xinjiang, winter tourism in Kanas Scenic Area officially kicked off. Various distinctive activities such as the rime corridor, ice lake crossing, skiing experience, and folk home visits have become the most anticipated experiences in Kanas this winter.
Kanascheck the details
Kanas Scenic Area is located in the central Altai Mountains of Xinjiang, nestled in the golden zone bordering China, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Mongolia. Kanas means "beautiful, rich, and mysterious" in Mongolian, making the name "Kanas" a fitting choice for this area. Renowned for its breathtaking scenery encompassing Kanas Lake and the surrounding snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and birch forests, it is known as the "Switzerland of the East" and a photographer's paradise. Kanas is a comprehensive scenic area encompassing glaciers, lakes, forests, grasslands, pastures, rivers, ethnic customs, and rare flora and fauna. Here, majestic glaciers contrast with tranquil lakes, vast grasslands embrace deep primeval forests. The mysterious lake monster, the quaint Tuwa people, the shifting waters, and the breathtaking scenery will captivate you.

Another winter must-do is soaking in a hot spring. Imagine experiencing the thrill of "ice and fire" in the depths of winter. Winter hot springs offer numerous benefits, especially for mothers, where they offer incredible beauty and nourishment. For children, water is also a beloved commodity.
Many people may think of Japan and Hokkaido when they think of hot springs. However, my country is also well-developed in hot spring resources. The country's main hot spring resources are concentrated in Southwest China (Yunnan, Tibet, and Sichuan), South China (Guangdong and Hunan), East China (Shandong and Minnan), and Taiwan.
A while ago, a documentary rivaling the BBC's, "Chinese Plants That Influence the World," was released on a video website. I subscribed to a subscription just to see it. Filming took three years, through thick and thin, across 27 provinces and municipalities across China, and it earned a Douban rating of 8.8. Every frame is breathtakingly beautiful.
Plants
It was this documentary that made me realize that there are about 300,000 species of plants on Earth, and nearly 1/10 of them grow in China, and many of them are species unique to our country.
In China, there's a hidden gem, lesser-known than most, yet boasting numerous titles: "World Gene Bank," "World Natural Museum," "Refuge of Life," "Wildlife Paradise," "Birthplace of Mammal Ancestral Genes," "Cradle of East Asian Flora," and "Humanity's Double-Sided Bookshelf." This is Gaoligong Mountain in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, nestled in the southern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It forms the suture zone where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide and subduct, creating a world-renowned deep fault valley and one of the richest areas of biodiversity. It serves as a global model for ecotourism.
It is said that in 2002, a joint scientific expedition to Gaoligong Mountain, consisting of China, the United States, Britain, and France, discovered over 100 new species. Today, the number of new species discovered in Gaoligong Mountain continues to grow, earning the nickname "Biological Cornucopia" from the Chinese scientific community.
In this quiet mountain, there is a tent camp that combines outdoor, parent-child and light adventure features - Kangteng Gaoligong Tent Camp (average altitude of about 2,300 meters). The camp includes 15 nature adventure-style guest rooms and 5 distinctive public spaces. It is close to the ancient Southern Silk Road in the dense forest. It took 8 years to unveil and is one of the most representative works of "Kangteng Vinetree".
Here, you can bring your children to experience the "four seasons in one mountain, a different sky every ten miles," feel the growth of flowers and trees, and listen to the sounds of nature. While children make unique floral paper, parents can brew a cup of local small-grain coffee, surrounded by the forest, and watch the sunset amidst the aroma of coffee. As night falls, surrounded by the chirping of insects and birds, take your children and gaze up at the brilliant starry sky. This is a romantic night just for you.
Animals
Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are all paradises for animals, the paradises they depend on for survival. Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
According to relevant news, yesterday (December 9th), an Oriental white stork, a nationally protected species, was released back into the wild in Poyang Lake National Wetland Park. Nearly 300 migratory birds, including swan geese, black-bellied whistling ducks, and whooper swans, were also released. As my country's largest freshwater lake and an internationally important wetland, Poyang Lake serves as a wintering habitat for waterbirds in Asia. The peak migration period for wintering birds in Poyang Lake is from mid-December to early January each year, with peak numbers reaching 600,000 to 700,000 in recent years.
Great Dunhuang, a prosperous era
From ancient times to the present, Dunhuang has been a favorite of documents and classics. "Han Shu" says "Dun means big. Huang means prosperous." Later, some people said: "Dun means big. It is famous because it opened up the Western Regions." In March 1986, the master of Chinese studies Ji Xianlin published an article on "Dunhuang and Turpan Studies" in the magazine "Red Flag". In the article, he wrote: "There are only four cultural systems in the world with a long history, a vast territory, self-contained systems, and far-reaching influence: China, India, Greece, and Islam. There is no fifth, and there is only one place where these four cultural systems converge, that is, Dunhuang and Xinjiang in China. There is no second one." This is enough to show the weight of the two words "Dunhuang".
Today, Dunhuang, etched with over a thousand years of dust and sand, has witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties and the passage of time. If there's anything in the world that defies expectation, it's Dunhuang. Like the Palace Museum, the Dunhuang Academy is also entering the public eye with a style that appeals to both the elite and the masses, poised to become a future "culturally trendy check-in destination."
Dunhuangcheck the details
Dunhuang City, under the jurisdiction of Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, lies at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, at the intersection of Gansu, Qinghai, and Xinjiang provinces. It lies between longitude 92°13′–95°30′ east and latitude 39°40′–41°40′ north, covering a total area of 31,200 square kilometers. A hub city on the Silk Road, Dunhuang is renowned for its Dunhuang Grottoes and murals. It is home to the World Heritage Mogao Grottoes and the border crossings of the Han Dynasty Great Wall, including Yumen Pass and Yangguan Pass. In 2012, it was selected as one of the "Top 200 Chinese Cities with Distinctive Charm" and is designated a National Historic and Cultural City.

Why go to Dunhuang in winter?
After National Day, Dunhuang gradually loses its tourist crowds and returns to a quietude. This is the time when the cultural heritage of this ancient city seems even richer. If you're lucky enough to see snow, when Mingsha Mountain and Sanwei Mountain, the desert and Gobi, beacon towers and caves are adorned with snow, Dunhuang becomes even more Dunhuang.
Compared with the crowded Mogao Grottoes scenic area in the off-season, the 4/8 caves seem unable to satisfy our inner desire for Dunhuang culture. In the off-season of autumn and winter, you can enjoy 12 open caves at only half the price of the peak season ticket.
China-TravelNote, in collaboration with the Dunhuang Academy, will offer an in-depth cultural experience of Dunhuang. Visitors can attend a private lecture by a Dunhuang Academy professor and personally copy ancient murals. Visitors can also enter the cave restoration site, come face to face with the murals, and feel the breath of the thousand-year-old caves. Dressed in mid-Tang Dynasty costumes, they can recreate the ancient Dunhuang of "swaying Tang style, colorful Buddhist kingdom," bringing the murals to life.
Xi'an Year, the most Chinese
Xi'an, a historic city that served as the capital of 13 dynasties, is a must-see destination for both adults and children. This is especially true for children aged 5-8, who are in a culturally sensitive period and have a strong understanding and acceptance of culture.
Take your children to Xi'an this winter vacation to experience the most Chinese New Year atmosphere.
Xi'ancheck the details
Xi'an is located in the central Guanzhong Plain, bordered by the Wei River to the north and the Qinling Mountains to the south. Eight rivers flow through Chang'an, making it a premier tourist destination in China. The Xi'an region boasts a wealth of cultural and tourism resources. The legacy of the brilliant Chinese culture has left a wealth of cultural relics and historical sites in the ancient city, earning it the nickname "a three-dimensional history museum." Xi'an's cultural relics and historical sites are not only rich and unique, but also systematic and complete, representing a microcosm of Chinese history. Their number, density, and quality rank among the highest in the country. Over ten thousand cultural relics and historical sites have been identified. Sites such as the Banpo Clan Society Ruins, the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Huaqing Hot Spring, the Forest of Steles, and the Ming City Wall all hold great value for tourism and research, renowned both domestically and internationally. The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor to the north of Xi'an, and the Maoling Mausoleum, Zhaoling Mausoleum, Qianling Mausoleum, and Famen Temple to the west are also must-see destinations for both domestic and international tourists.

Since the rapid popularity of "Tik Tok" in the south and "Kuaishou" in the north, Xi'an has become a completely internet-famous city. This year, Xi'an launched the "Xi'an Year, the Most Chinese" theme festival activities.
As the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, Xi'an boasts a rich history and culture. It's said that the museums around Xi'an are enough to keep you occupied for more than a week. Museums are your best bet for understanding Chang'an culture. If you're short on time, the Shaanxi History Museum (Shaanxi Museum), the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of Qin Shi Huang, and the Banpo Museum are three top choices.

￥2550 from 2873 people have registered Register nowAccording to the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, “intangible cultural heritage” includes the following aspects:
1. Oral traditions and expressions, including languages, as vehicles of intangible cultural heritage;
2. Performing Arts;
3. Social practices, rituals, and festivals;
4. Knowledge and practice concerning nature and the universe;
5. Traditional handicrafts.
Currently, China has 39 internationally recognized intangible cultural heritage items. At the 7th China Chengdu International Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival held this year in Chengdu, the city announced 10 "Intangible Cultural Heritage Tour" routes and 40 intangible cultural heritage experience bases.
Chengdu, another internet-famous city, is a land of abundance in Sichuan, renowned for its food. However, the intangible cultural heritage of Bashu should not be underestimated. Examples include Sichuan cuisine, the birdcage traditions of the ancient city of Pidu, and the craftsmanship of Pengzhou white porcelain. Furthermore, Chengdu's "Five Golden Flowers" of intangible cultural heritage include Shu embroidery, lacquerware, bamboo weaving with porcelain, silver thread flowers, and Shu brocade.
If you have the opportunity, it is recommended to bring children aged 6-12 who have certain hands-on skills to have close contact with intangible cultural heritage, feel the ancient traditions and skills with their fingertips, and experience the charm of intangible cultural heritage with their heart.
For a one-stop family getaway, theme parks are undoubtedly the top choice. Integrated resorts like Chimelong, which offer a comprehensive dining, accommodation, and entertainment experience, are increasingly popular with young parents. After all, parents born in the 1980s and 1990s were also a generation that loved to play. With the opening of the two-child policy, such vacation destinations are also well-suited to families with two children. Regardless of age, there's always room for a theme park experience.
According to the "2019 China Theme Park Competitiveness Index" report, among the 42 theme parks in 23 provinces, municipalities and districts across China (including four super-large theme parks: Shanghai Disneyland, Overseas Chinese Town East, Chimelong Paradise, and Chongqing Lehe Ledu), taking the comprehensive evaluation ranking as an example, "Shanghai Disneyland leads the way with a score of 75.99, taking first place, followed by Overseas Chinese Town East and Window of the World in second and third place. Shenzhen Happy Valley, Shenzhen Splendid China Folk Village, Chimelong Paradise, Beijing Happy Valley, Shanghai Happy Valley, Wuhan Happy Valley, and Changzhou China Dinosaur Park rounded out the top ten. Happy Valley brand theme parks occupy four of the top ten spots, demonstrating their strong overall competitiveness."

RV travel
I couldn't contain my urge to go wild, but my child was so young, and there was so much to pack: formula, diapers, utensils, small toys, and more. If I changed accommodations every day, packing would be a chore for a new mom! With a baby's unusual sleep schedule, irregular meals, multiple naps, and unique dining options, the hassle of pulling and carrying around all the sights was overwhelming.
Don't give up! RV travel can solve all your problems, especially for families with two children:
1. It has a large space, so you can bring whatever you want.
2. Stop and go as you please, close the door and sleep when you are tired, open the door and have fun when you wake up.
3. When moving, it is a mobile castle; when stopping, it is an outdoor starry sky room.

My first trip to Guizhou was in 2014. It was my first time to visit the remote villages of southeastern Guizhou. The children there were simple and honest, their eyes full of light, eager to escape the mountains and see the outside world. For city kids, the opportunity to visit these ancient villages, experience farm life, soak in the ethnic culture, and connect with nature, could be the most unique vacation experience.
Of the eighteen ecological and cultural conservation zones worldwide, only two exist in Asia: the celestial realm of Tibet and the mysterious Qiandongnan region. Here, we can help rural children establish reading corners, enrich their extracurricular activities, and offer them a heartwarming experience of rural life. They can immerse themselves in rural life, raising the national flag, attending classes, playing games, and doing farm work alongside local children, experiencing the simple joys of rural life.
Parents can take their taste buds on a culinary journey, savoring authentic Guizhou delicacies—sour soup fish, long table banquets, and sour soup beef. Dads may have to pass the local Guizhou gate-blocking wine test before entering the village, while moms can dress in traditional costume and dance with the children. They can also listen to the Dong ethnic group's grand song, an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. This educational and entertaining journey into ethnic minority culture will etch a deep impression on children's childhood memories.
Take your children on a trip. The farther you go, the bigger your children’s world will be!
