📢 Tips for traveling with kids:
Holiday travel is really crazy! Be sure to book all tickets in advance when traveling with kids
High-speed train tickets, hotels, electric scooters (prices for scooters multiply during holidays, can’t do without them with kids)
🏨 Hotel recommendation near Lianchi’ao Beach, not only beautiful scenery but also central to tourist spots, convenient for taking kids around
🏍️ Don’t let the scooter rental owner pick you up at the pier during holidays! Rent directly at the pier and go to the homestay, homestays might hike prices if they pick you up, no hassle with kids
⏰ Always leave early with kids during holidays! Early! Early!
Go to attractions early, fewer people, better photos, more comfortable play, kids can nap when tired and won’t fuss
Popular spots have long lines, some people take photos for half an hour without considering others, frustrating when waiting with kids
🍽️ Don’t expect too much for meals, Meizhou Island is known as a food desert, bring plenty of snacks and baby food for kids

🏡 Kid-friendly hotels:
1. Putian Yifa Seaview Hotel
Choose this if driving with kids! New hotel, spacious, plenty of room for kids to move around
Has shuttle service to the pier, directly to the pier, no need to find shuttle buses yourself (private cars can’t reach the pier during holidays, must park far away and take shuttle, shuttle service is very convenient)
2. Haitian Yisu
Near Lianchi’ao Beach, very close to the beach for kids, no long walks
The homestay is very new and clean, kids feel safe staying here
The landlord is awesome! After we refused the doubled-price scooters, he lent us his own vehicle, super convenient for going out with kids

The sea at Meizhou Island is really beautiful, watching the sea with kids is very healing
Ewei Shenshi Park is great for photos, all our family shots came from here
Besides popular spots, you can take great photos for kids anywhere
Coming to Meizhou Island during non-holidays really lives up to National Geographic’s recommendation as the most beautiful island, you won’t regret bringing kids here!
