🗺️ Anjihai Grand Canyon travel guide
📍 Navigation: Just search for "Anjihai Grand Canyon"

⏰ Recommended visiting time: June to October, when the canyon's colors are rich and layered, perfect for photography.

📸 Must-visit spots:
1️⃣ Eagle Beak Cliff: Standing here, you can overlook the entire canyon with its deep ravines and winding river at the bottom. The colorful mountain walls on the opposite side are incredibly stunning. But be careful not to get too close to the cliff edge when taking photos!
2️⃣ About 6KM from the scenic area on National Highway G312: There is a fork with a white house. The dirt road on the left leads to the mining area. Following it reveals a unique viewing angle that captures the canyon’s vast depth and breadth.

🏨 Accommodation experience
🏠 Room facilities: As soon as you enter the room, it’s full of childlike fun with cartoon bedding and cute decorations that kids love! There’s also a delightful children's night light with soft lighting that gives the little ones a strong sense of security. The room is equipped with a Xiaodu smart control system—lights, curtains, TV can all be controlled by simply calling Xiaodu, super convenient.

🤵🏻‍♀️ The staff are very enthusiastic and check-in was quick. The hotel also has a dedicated tea bar where you can relax and enjoy tea. A pleasant surprise is the free ice cream, which made the kids very happy.

🍳 Breakfast experience: The breakfast selection is quite rich, and the layered pancakes are amazing—crispy on the outside and tender inside. My child and I enjoyed several pieces. However, there was a mistake in the morning staff’s headcount, so breakfast portions were not replenished promptly. Hopefully, this will improve in the future.

👫 Holding my child’s hand at the edge of Anjihai Grand Canyon, hearing him exclaim “It’s like a colorful oil painting!”—at that moment, I suddenly understood the meaning of travel. The wind blows away the city’s noise, and the magnificent mountains and rivers before us are nature’s best classroom for children. Although I always worry about him running off, seeing the curiosity and excitement sparkling in his eyes makes it all worthwhile. This trip is a romantic memory we will cherish together✨
