This summer vacation, I'm only taking my kids to one place: Huizhou!

This summer, lock in Huizhou for your family trip! Who would've thought? This place is absolutely the ultimate paradise for kids🤩

Tired of kids glued to their phones at home but want to avoid crowded tourist spots? Huizhou is the perfect choice—where you can immerse in the misty rain of Jiangnan🌧️, let kids go wild catching fish and chasing fireflies, while secretly weaving traditional culture into the journey—making brushes, painting with Hui ink, carving She inkstones… This guide has all the fun activities that’ll make your kids never want to leave!

🌿 A 5-day, 4-night treasure itinerary that’s easy on moms—bookmark this now!

🔸Day 1: Land in Huangshan and feast on local delicacies!

✔️ Stay at "Anchi Huafu Hotel" downtown—wake up to river views and step out for food adventures~
Huizhou cuisine wins you over instantly: stinky mandarin fish so fresh you’ll lick the plate, Fangxinyu hairy tofu crispy outside and tender inside, Wang Yitiao wontons bursting with flavor, even Huangshan sesame cakes are fought over by the kids🌮 Day 1 alone will spoil their taste buds!

🔸Day 2: Intangible heritage in rice paper + the poetry of Taohua Tan

✨ Xuan Paper Cultural Park is perfect for kids! Watch masters demonstrate papermaking—they’ll be mesmerized by bamboo-screen paper-pulling~
✨ Drifting on a bamboo raft at Taohua Tan, when you murmur "Taohua Pond’s waters a thousand feet deep," your kid might suddenly ask, "Mom, is this where Li Bai wrote that?" Priceless moment🛶

🔸Day 3: Deep dive into the "Four Treasures of the Study"

This day hits all the traditional culture notes! Kids gild Hui ink sticks, hand-tie brushes, and carve personal inkstones—then proudly show off their creations~
Afternoon farm fun: picking veggies, rice-paddy fish-catching🐟, chasing dragonflies by the stream. Stay at "Guanlu Tent Hotel" with floor-to-ceiling windows for stargazing✨ Kids will say, "Even prettier than the stars in our picture books!"

🔸Day 4: Hike Huangshan + mountaintop BBQ bliss

Who says hiking Huangshan with kids is hard? After the initial steep climb, it’s smooth trails—they’ll skip along singing~
Sip cloud-level afternoon tea🍵 watching peaks pierce the clouds. At dusk, set up a BBQ under the stars—kids grab the mic for nursery rhymes during outdoor karaoke🎬 Laughter fills the night breeze~

🔸Day 5: Wrap up with ancient village photos—take Huizhou home in your album

Final day at "Xiuli Ancient Village"—quiet and cinematic with water bridges, stone paths, and artsy shops… Rent Hanfu for family portraits against Huizhou’s white walls and black tiles📷

Only in Huizhou with kids do you realize: Travel doesn’t need rushed itineraries. Watching them chase butterflies in rice fields, count steps in ancient lanes, or light up during cultural workshops—that’s the best summer vacation~
