Summer vacation means it's water play season!  
When it comes to listing the best water and stream adventure spots near Nanjing,  
Jingxian Moon Bay is a must-visit 🔥  
Planning a weekend getaway with the kids? Here's a two-day, one-night itinerary for Jingxian!  
🚗 Transportation  
Public transport isn't very convenient, so driving is recommended—it's not far from Nanjing.  
But beware of traffic jams during peak summer weekends 😂  
💦 Itinerary  
**Day 1**  
Depart at noon on Saturday and check into the Wannan Courtyard Homestay, right next to the Fish Scale Dam.  
Splash around to your heart's content ✌🏻 For dinner, head to Lao Hu Local Cuisine—delicious and affordable! If the weather's nice, catch the "Meet Moon Bay" live performance right outside the homestay.  
**Day 2**  
After breakfast at the homestay, join the rubbing art activity—kids will love it 🤗  
Play in the water in the morning, then visit Xuan Paper Town. Explore the Xuan Paper Museum to see how traditional paper is made (and even try it yourself!). Bonus: the white-themed architecture is super photogenic❗ Have lunch in Jingxian town before heading back.  
Southern Anhui is a place you'll never tire of—its poetic landscapes delight both adults and kids! If you're still deciding where to go, this is the perfect pick!
