Family Travel Guide | This Border Town in Baise, Guangxi, Is Perfect for Avoiding Crowds with Kids!

Off-the-Beaten-Path Destination
When visiting Guangxi, don’t just stick to Guilin~ For National Day family trips, we chose Baise, a lesser-known small town! It’s not overly commercialized, the natural scenery is well preserved, and there are fewer people, making it a perfect family experience~ Some roads are still national or rural roads, so allow extra driving time, but the kids won’t get bored with the beautiful mountains and rivers along the way!

🏨 Accommodation Recommendation: Guangxi Chongzuo Secret Realm Lishi Resort

📍 Located on the China-Vietnam border, surrounded by banana groves and karst peaks, it feels like living inside a landscape painting! Kids love the rice fields and riverside right outside the door, and every photo is a perfect family shot📸

◾️ Must-Stay for Families: 1466 Cliff Tent Camp

The kids are super excited! Waking up to a sea of clouds in the morning, with cliffs outside the tent, but the room amenities rival a hotel—private bathroom, air conditioning, hand-brewed coffee tools, plus family meals included, making it comfortable and novel for kids!
