Hands-on experience! Don't want crowds when traveling with kids? These 4 hidden gems are super hassle-free!

Just returned from a healing journey from Southern Fujian to Jiangnan - visited 4 fairy-tale towns in 5 days, intoxicated by tea aromas and sea breezes 🌿 This reverse travel strategy is absolutely brilliant - fewer crowds, stunning views and budget-friendly!

🛤️Must-try routes:
"Southern Fujian Cultural Route" - Quanzhou Edition
📍West Street: Authentic Minnan flavors in red-brick ancient houses, must try Aunt Hou's Rice Dumplings (Address: 59 Dongjie, Licheng District)
📍Kaiyuan Temple: Romantic photo spot with cherry blossoms and ancient pagoda (best in late March)
📍Xunpu Village: Become a flower-crowned Xunpu woman for a day, ¥40 includes costume + hairstyling (best for sunset photos)

"Jiangnan Secret Route" - Liyang + Huzhou Edition
☁️Liyang No.1 Highway: Must-drive rainbow road (navigate to Shennv Lake Station)
🍵Tianmu Lake Visitor Center: Free viewing platform overlooking tea fields (secretly better views than paid areas)
🌿Huzhou Giraffe Manor: Breakfast with Kenyan-style giraffes (best interaction 7:30-10:00)

"Yunnan-Guizhou Fairyland Route" - Xingyi Edition
⛰️Wanfenglin: Sightseeing bus tour of Bagua Terraces (softest light at 4pm)
🌾Nahui Village: Stay in Buyi ethnic homestay and try rice cake pounding (recommend Rongsu Inn, ¥150/person including breakfast)

💡Real travel tips:
1. Quanzhou's mini buses are super convenient! ¥2 flag-down service covering ancient city
2. Liyang's Meijie Treehouse books out fast - reserve at least 1 month ahead
3. Bring a light jacket to Xingyi - big temperature difference in valleys

🍜Foodie guide:
✔️Quanzhou Shuimen Guozao Vermicelli (perfect with fried dough sticks)
✔️Liyang Millenium Fish Head (Tianmu Lake branch) must-order black sticky rice
✔️Xingyi Zouji Chicken Tangyuan (sweet-savory delight)

Tips: All cities accessible by high-speed rail, but Xingyi recommends car rental (HiRen has counter at train station). Get travel insurance for mountain roads~
