Just finished a family trip in Pingxiang and have to share this hidden gem family guide I've been keeping for half a year! Spend about 800 RMB per person for a Disney-level experience, from cloud grasslands to magical caves, then to a fairy tale manor. The whole trip is easy for moms and perfect for capturing viral moments on social media. Save it now!

🌟【Day 1-2: Wild fun on the cloud grassland】

📍Wugong Mountain Starry Sky RV Campground
🚗 1 hour drive from downtown, navigate to "Starry Sky RV Campground"
💰 About 150 RMB per person including accommodation + breakfast + non-motorized playground

✨Must-try:

1. RV panoramic skylight to watch the Milky Way 🌌
Choose an east-facing RV so the first morning sunlight shines on your face. At midnight, wrap up in sleeping bags with your kid on the roof, point at the Big Dipper and tell the story of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl. The little one clapped excitedly!

2. Jinding Cableway + hiking challenge 🚠
Take the Zhong’an cableway up the mountain with kids over 3 years old (one way 65 RMB). After the cableway, walk the Fuxing Valley wooden plank road where squirrels appear along the way. At the Hanging Horse Stake plank road, the kid ran 2 kilometers by himself and counted all 1,188 steps to earn a chilled watermelon 🍉

3. Alpine grass sledding + ATV off-road 🎢
The kid screamed with excitement sliding down the rainbow slide, and ATV off-roading is super thrilling with parents driving on the meadow! (Grass sledding 80 RMB/2 hours, ATV 150 RMB/lap)

🍜Top mountain eats:

• Spicy stir-fried pork on a wood stove at Wufa Inn (can be made mild)

⏰ 8:30-17:00, recommended to arrive before 9 to avoid crowds

✨Must-try:

1. Underground river boat exploration 🚣
Ride a small boat through the "Dragon Gate," where stalactites under colored lights turn into dragons and lotus thrones. The boatman suddenly speeds up for a surprise, and the kid held my arm tightly, so cute!

2. VR fantasy rafting 🎮
Put on the device and feel like you’re in the Dragon Palace. The kid reached out to catch virtual little fish and got scared by a sudden electric eel, hiding in my arms~

3. Karst cave science class 📖
Pick up the "Karst Cave Adventure Manual" at the entrance, find "stone grapes" and "stone waterfalls" with your kid, and answer 5 questions to get a small badge!
