The ultimate kid-friendly trip in Chongzuo! 6-day itinerary staying in a mushroom house, watching dolphins and feeding tortoises is pure joy

Taking the kids to Chongzuo during summer vacation was truly a delightful surprise! Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and so comfortable—more suitable for family trips than Guilin or Xishuangbanna. This border town enjoys spring-like weather all year round🍃, with stunning landscapes praised by the People’s Daily, delivering a full sense of awe!

Staying at [Zai Ye Su Ji] is amazing! A standalone mushroom villa in a banana grove, with 180° arched floor-to-ceiling windows offering unobstructed views, perfect for photos, and very quiet～

✅ Marine mammal expert education, super fun to go out to sea looking for pink dolphins
✅ Deep visit to the white-headed langur conservation area🐒, learn about their living habits
✅ Watch Chinese horseshoe crabs with a guide, get to know the blue-blooded “living fossil”
✅ Explore Beihai mangroves, learn about marine ecology
