Want to have fun with the kids during National Day without the hassle? I've scouted Haining Yanguan Ancient City - the City of Tide Music for you! Tide watching, music festival, and unique hotels all in one place, especially during National Day, the experience is absolutely top-notch!
🌊 National Day Tide Watching: Watch the "most powerful tide of the year" with the kids, plus exclusive little surprises
Every year, the Mid-Autumn and National Day period is the "golden viewing time" for the Qiantang River tide. This National Day is even more special—the tide is stronger than usual. Standing safely behind the guardrails with the kids, you can clearly see the "frontline tide" crossing the river like a white dragon. During National Day, small red flags hang along the riverbank, and the kids wave flags while shouting "The tide is coming!" The atmosphere is amazing~ I personally tested that watching the tide with kids once is more effective than reading 10 nature picture books. Older kids can even write a "National Day Tide Watching Diary," combining learning and fun perfectly!
🎶 National Day Grand Tide Music Carnival: 65 music shows + parent-child interactions, the kids are even more excited than me
During National Day, the "Grand Tide Music Carnival" (10.1-10.13) truly integrates "family-friendly" into the event! The main stage hosts 65 music shows covering rock, folk, and electronic music. When the whole crowd sings along, the kids clap their hands, and this mom almost got teary! Besides music, don’t miss the "Tide Music Battle" live-action game, where kids run around with NPCs searching for clues, completely draining their energy~ Feeling the breeze from the Qiantang River, listening to music, and watching the kids have fun—that’s what a National Day family trip should be like!
🏨 Yanguan City of Tide Music Lead Singer Music Resort Hotel: Music theme + prime tide-watching spot, full family benefits
Staying here with kids really saves a lot of trouble! First, the location is perfect—just a 5-minute walk to Tide Watching Park, no need to carry the kids and rush early to queue; also, as a music-themed hotel, it houses Asia’s only music home museum authorized by Austria, definitely worth a visit.
