✨Rainforest hiking is so fun🌳, with sunlight filtering through leaves creating “Tyndall light,” it’s stunning💗 You might see blue fairy flycatchers, short-tailed babblers... and you can also take the kids rafting
✔️In the evening, stroll through Taiping Ancient Town with the kids, dress them in Hanfu, carry lanterns🏮, and wander the streets—it feels like stepping into a historical drama~

DAY4: White-headed Leaf Monkeys—Chasing Pink Dolphins
✨Go see the super cute white-headed leaf monkeys! The little monkeys are lively, swinging through the trees, and the babies’ golden heads are adorably irresistible🥰
✔️Take a boat out to sea to watch dolphins! When the first dolphin🐬 leaps out of the water, the kids jump up and scream with joy! The captain was super nice and stopped for an extra ten minutes so we could take plenty of photos📸

DAY5: Mangrove Beachcombing—Return Trip
✨Beachcombing with the kids is so much fun! Carrying little buckets🪣 and shovels, digging together—little crabs🦀, clams, mussels hiding in shells...

Guangxi’s attractions are spread out, transportation isn’t very convenient, and hotel prices rise during peak season, making bookings difficult❗️For families, you can join a parent-child tour like ours, which includes attraction tickets + hotel stays + family activities + private transportation, making it worry-free and easy!
