The most heartwarming parent-child hiking route so far!

While the city is trapped in a scorching heatwave,

Chongzuo, Guangxi secretly hides a parent-child hiking paradise with cool mountain breezes.

Sharp mountain ridges like blades, paired with emerald-colored lakes at the foot of the mountains,

Hiking with kids here feels like stepping into a Studio Ghibli animation.

The best part is: few people, free, and uncrowded.

This summer,

why not bring your children and explore "Little Scandinavia of Guangxi" on foot together?

Start a romantic summer hiking time between parents and children.

πŸŽ’ Parent-Child Gear Checklist

❢ Non-slip hiking shoes: needed for both kids and adults, some stone surfaces are wet and slippery

❷ Gloves: protect little hands during climbing, avoid scratches

❸ Hiking poles: assist going up and down slopes, save energy

❹ Sun hat, sufficient water (recommended over 2L), snacks: timely hydration and energy replenishment, essential for heat prevention

❺ Children's sunscreen: strong UV rays in the mountains, pay attention to protection

❻ Emergency care supplies: such as mupirocin ointment

When hiking with kids, minor scrapes or insect bites are inevitable. If knees or elbows get scraped and are not treated promptly, infections may occur. We always carry a tube of mupirocin ointment on trips, which helps prevent infection when applied to wounds. It has a refreshing, non-sticky texture. Recently, I saw this ointment featured in the show "Wild Planet," which made me even more convinced that outdoor safety preparations must be thorough. When traveling with children, having emergency supplies ready ensures a safer exploration of nature.

𝑇𝑖𝑝𝑠:

❢ Navigate to "Dengta, Tiandeng County, Chongzuo, Guangxi." There is a parking lot and route signs at the foot of the mountain.

❷ Transportation: About 3 hours driving from Nanning; if taking the high-speed train to Chongzuo South Station, a taxi ride takes about 1.5 hours.

❸ Bring your own food: There are no shops on the mountain, so bring enough drinking water and food.

❹ Leave no trace hiking: Please take your trash with you to protect the natural environment.
