Natural Gallery: 10-minute short hike! Metasequoia trees lined up neatly, sunlight filtering through leaves creating light spots, kids can play by chasing shadows

⚠️Red leaf season tips for traveling with kids🔸 Book rooms 60 days in advance! Peak season homestays triple in price, late bookings only available in the county town🔸 Dress in three layers: 20℃+ at the foot of the mountain, 10℃- at the summit, easy to put on and take off to avoid colds🔸 Bring snacks: snacks in scenic spots are expensive, bring beef jerky and small bread to feed kids anytime
📸Photo tip: dress kids in white jackets! They stand out beautifully among red and yellow leaves, use fallen leaves as props, let kids throw leaves for natural and lovely shots~
