Feeling suffocated by KPIs? You must hit the pause button on life this weekend!

Take the whole family and hide away in Yanguan Ancient Town for a slow-paced 2-day, 1-night vacation, finally living the life you want~

🚗 Just an hour and a half drive from Shanghai, no need to get up early or rush, and no need to stress over planning!
The morning when you turn off the alarm is so healing, gently awakened by the sound of the Qiantang River tides.
Open the window to an unobstructed river view, sunlight spilling over the ancient street, and even the air carries the gentle warmth of Jiangnan.

Here’s the itinerary:
Day 1: Check-in → Leisurely stroll around the ancient town → Watch the tide rise and fall at dusk
Day 2: After breakfast, try paddleboarding → Visit the House of Music Museum → Return after lunch

👶 Traveling with kids can be effortlessly relaxing too!
The kids went wild paddleboarding at "Zhou You Yi Xia," sweating buckets, while I sipped tea on the shore watching clouds drift by—a rare moment of peace~
The live-action game "Battle of Tides" from 2 PM to 7 PM is a total hit.
Kids follow NPCs to solve puzzles nonstop, finally letting this tired mom enjoy wandering and eating in the ancient town worry-free.

🏨 Staying at Xuande Gate Hotel is truly a hidden gem!
Kids under 1.2m get free admission, saving money right away.
Free rides on the scenic area’s electric carts, no worries about kids walking too much.
First minibar order free + welcome fruit, so thoughtful it touches your heart.
10% off restaurant coupons, saving enough for bubble tea in no time.
The family room is super spacious, kids can write and draw at the little desk before bed—detail lovers will be very satisfied.

🍲 Thought scenic area food would be a trap, but the Riverside Banquet won me over.
Haining jar-cooked pork is tender and sticky without being greasy, and the pickled vegetables carry that authentic old flavor.

A vacation without a special forces-style checklist is the real vacation.
In 24 hours at Yanguan, soak your work anxiety into tea and turn rushed moments into poetry.
Turns out happiness is so simple—
It’s the sound of kids chasing games, the gentle tide lapping the shore, the relaxed vibe of the whole family slowly wandering.
I’ll definitely come back here to steal some leisure time next time~
