Looking for autumn scenery with the kids? Come to this "Little Hemu" in Jilin! Not Xinjiang, but Xianren Valley (Lijiadian Grassland) in Baishan City. No one knows about it, so there's no entrance fee, yet the scenery amazes the entire Northeast. Bringing kids here is definitely worth it!
Xianren Valley is now stunning beyond belief! Cattle and horses roam freely on the alpine grasslands, wooden cabins are surrounded by colorful trees, like a scene from a fairy tale~ In a few days during the National Day holiday, the whole mountain forest will turn red. Walking with kids on the forest trails, fallen leaves underfoot, beautiful views overhead, every snapshot is a perfect family photo, so photogenic!
Transportation is super convenient, no stress driving with kids! It’s close to Huashan Creek Valley Scenic Area, just down the mountain is National Highway 222. Even on gravel roads, sedans can drive up, so no worries about road conditions. If you don’t want to be stuck in crowded popular spots during National Day with the kids, Xianren Valley is the perfect choice. The scenery is even better than Huashan Creek Valley, and kids can play freely and get close to nature~
Family travel tips to save📚: Navigate to “Toudaoyangcha x219, Jiangyuan District, Baishan City.” When you arrive, don’t turn, just keep going straight until you reach the fire prevention registration. After registering, continue on until you meet an elderly man managing the barrier. Explain that you’re driving with kids, not camping, and will take your trash with you. The elderly man will then let your car in (make sure to set a good example for the kids by protecting the environment)~
3-day off-the-beaten-path family route: Changchun (or Shenyang) → Baishan → Xianren Valley (let the kids have a blast) → Balipo Cultural Park (educational for kids) → Huashan Creek Valley (optional) → Linjiang → Ji’an → Qinghe Maple Valley (enjoy the maple scenery) → Guosong → Tonghua → Changchun (or Shenyang). Beautiful scenery all along the way, making it easy and fun to travel with kids.
