Almost cried climbing Tianzhu Mountain with the kid! These 3 traps are even more dangerous than the Magpie Bridge

Girls! Took my 7-year-old on a hardcore challenge of the East Gate route of Tianzhu Mountain during summer vacation. The scenery was so beautiful I ran out of words, and the breakdowns were so many I almost called the police! The kid shouted on the Magpie Bridge, "The Cowherd stole my snacks," and this exhausted mom carried the kid up the ladder stairs until my knees were wrecked... Stayed up all night to organize a 3-day blood and tears guide, read it and you can save your family’s legs and feet! 👣

🔥Deadly itinerary
Day 1⃣️: Qianshan Station - Seven Fairies Guesthouse to gnaw on stinky mandarin fish - Tea House Visitor Center scouting
Day 2⃣️: Dalongwo Cableway screaming up the mountain - Liandan Lake feeding fish - Magpie Bridge acting as magpies - Glass plank road legs trembling
Day 3⃣️: Tianchi Peak chasing the sea of clouds - Longtan River cableway floating down the mountain - Lost water bottle at high-speed rail station

🌄Soul spots:
✅Liandan Lake koi touching
A high mountain lake at 1100 meters altitude, like jade! Bought two bags of fish food for the kid, who ended up scattering it like "Heavenly Maiden scattering flowers" 🐟 When the koi leapt out of the water, the kid was so excited she almost fed the phone to the fish...

✅Magpie Bridge playing magpie
The 40-meter natural stone bridge made my legs weak! Told the kid the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but she insisted the bridge hole was "Queen Mother’s earring hole" 💎 Holding rhododendron flowers, she wanted to be a magpie courier but ended up scattering petals halfway down the cliff...

✅Glass plank road adventure
The 60-meter suspended transparent bridge scared us to tears! The kid lay on the ground imitating a gecko crawling, with snot and tears smudging the glass into frosted glass 😂 The uncle opposite laughed so hard he dropped his phone off the cliff, and the kid cried out: "My Want Want crushed ice snack fell down too!"

💥Deadly pitfalls:
1⃣️ Don’t miss the Dalongwo cableway schedule! Arrived at 17:10 and was told it was closed, had to carry the kid down in the dark and scraped my knees
2⃣️ Don’t trust the "gentle" health trail! 300 continuous steps turned the kid into a koala hanging on my neck
3⃣️ Don’t let the kid run wild on Tianshi Peak! Granite cracks can fit three kids, ten minutes of searching made my heart stop
4⃣️ Don’t buy the grilled sausage in the scenic area lightly! The 10-yuan starch sausage was so hard it could be used as a hiking stick
5⃣️ Don’t pick rhododendrons randomly! The kid stole "fairy flowers" and was chased and lectured by security for half an hour

🍜Foodie hits and misses:
✔️Bamboo shoot and braised pork at Seven Fairies Guesthouse, so fragrant the kid mixed three bowls of rice with the sauce
✔️Tea eggs at Liandan Lake rest stop, so flavorful the kid ate five nonstop
✔️Tianzhu Mountain fried rice with wild celery, so fresh the kid wanted to bite the chopsticks in half
✖️"Welcoming Pine" instant noodles on the summit: 15 yuan for only half a pot of hot water, noodles as hard as stone
✖️Internet-famous kudzu jelly cake: so sticky the kid’s teeth clashed, said it was like eating a spider spirit’s web

📸Photo spots:
1⃣️Tianchi Peak sea of clouds (holding the kid like the Pagoda Holding Heavenly King)
2⃣️Magpie Bridge flower bushes (scattering rhododendron petals for a fantasy drama shot)
3⃣️End of the glass plank road (hugging the pillar for a "survival photo")
4⃣️Zhenyigang ancient pine (wearing a bamboo hat for a martial arts blockbuster)

🏠Accommodation survival guide:
✔️Seven Fairies Guesthouse: gives kids fairy wands, and at night firefly hunting is super dreamy
✔️Tianzhu Mountain International Hotel: kids’ playground saves lives, parents lie down and watch the mountain view
✖️A certain starry sky tent: the night wind on the summit blew my face numb, the kid said it felt like "living in the wind grandma’s pocket"

⚠️Life-saving gear:
✔️Baby carrier backpack (used as a human suitcase on steep parts)
✔️Non-slip rubber shoes (stones by the waterfall were so slippery I doubted life)
✔️Anti-lost wristbands (the plank road crowds were like Spring Festival travel rush)
✔️Folding toilet (waiting in line at the summit toilet almost made the kid cry)

On the return high-speed train, the kid suddenly said: "Let’s steal the fish from Liandan Lake and raise them at home!" Although I kept carrying and searching for the kid every day, seeing her crooked "flying koi" drawing in her sketchbook made all the suffering worth it!

(❗️Final warning: Dress your kid in fluorescent colors! Finding pink clothes in the green mountains is harder than finding Tianzhu Peak...)
