😎 I’ve finally figured out how to enjoy summer in Qiandao Lake—this might just be the most perfect summer vibe 💚

🌊 Day 1: Rafting × Stream Trekking × Starlight Adventure
1. 🚣‍♂️ Prince Valley Rafting
✅ A shaded, cool watercourse with alternating rapids and calm sections over 1.5 hours—kids 4+ will love it!
✅ Must-pack: Long-sleeve quick-dry shirts + enclosed water shoes (to prevent cuts from rocks), waterproof phone pouch worn on the chest 📱

2. 🏡 Hidden Fun at the Mountain Lodge
➤ Must-order dinner: Clay pot free-range chicken + Qiandao Lake chopped chili fish head, with freshly picked veggies
➤ After dark, grab a bucket and hunt for fish/shrimp along the stream—the lodge provides headlamps and nets (bring spare clothes!)
➤ Watch a movie under the stars with fireflies flickering in the grass—pure childhood nostalgia

🌿 Day 2: Oxygen Hike × Instagrammable Spots
1. 🥾 Qiandao Lake Forest Oxygen Bar (20min drive from the lodge)
🎫 Latest ticket prices: Adult ¥60 | Child (1.2-1.5m) ¥35 (+¥30 for grass sliding)
✅ Tested route: Stream plank path → Rope bridge swing → Grass sliding downhill (kids 3+ can ride with adults)
🌡️ 5°C cooler than the city! 60,000 negative oxygen ions per cm³—every breath feels sweet

2. 📸 Efficient Sightseeing
