Taking kids to Liupanshui! 3 days to explore the Cool City with ease

Where to take the kids? Liupanshui, Guizhou is a must! 💦
The only "Cool City" in the country, around 20℃ during the day, kids stay comfortable and happy 😜
We’ve planned a 3-day, 2-night itinerary for you, making it easy and fulfilling to travel with kids~

🚗【About Transportation】
✈️ Flight: Liupanshui Yuezhao Airport is close to the city. It takes about 20 minutes by taxi to the city center after landing, so no long trips with kids.
🚄 High-speed rail: Transfer from Guiyang North/Kunming South to Liupanshui Station by high-speed train. There are direct shuttle buses from the station to scenic spots, so kids walk less.
🚗 Self-driving: Attractions are scattered, so driving is more flexible. The trunk can hold kids’ toys and snacks, and you can rest anytime~

🏨【About Accommodation】
🏡 Recommendation 1: Zangke River Scenic Area - Yelang Palace Hotel, rooms by the river are amazing, you can watch the river sunrise with kids in the morning.
🏡 Recommendation 2: Liupanshui City - Fengchiyuan Resort Hotel, close to dining spots, with a small garden where kids can play~

🍲【About Food】
No worries about meals with kids! Shuicheng mutton noodles with an egg, kids can finish a big bowl; choose non-spicy sauce for the griddle pot, vegetables and meat are grilled deliciously. The local corn rice is soft and sticky, kids love it, and it pairs well with light mushroom soup~
