【Hunan Yueyang Parent-Child Tour】Take the kids to check in at Dongting Lake from the Chinese textbook! One-day tour guide essentials


The mood of "Once heard of Dongting waters, now climbing Yueyang Tower" is finally experienced firsthand with the kids!✨

The kids were super excited to see Yueyang Tower from their textbook in person💖

📍【Must-Visit Attractions】
1️⃣ Yueyang Tower

One of the Three Great Towers of Jiangnan, truly well-deserved! Recommended to enter after 4 PM to catch both sunset and night views at once🌅

Kids love touching the bronze dragon pillars at the entrance (locals say it brings good luck🐲)

2️⃣ Junshan Island

The round-trip boat ride is super fun! The reed marshes are stunning in spring🌾

The Xiangfei bamboo on the island is perfect for parent-child Hanfu photos📸

3️⃣ Baling Square

The night view is gorgeous! The Houyi shooting snake statue is very impressive🗿

The lakeside night market has lots of snacks at affordable prices~

🍜【Food List】

✅ Yueyang BBQ

Dongdan Brother BBQ is legendary!🍢

Kids love the beef skewers and grilled crucian carp

✅ Dongting Lake Fresh Fish

“Return Fish” hotpot is incredibly fresh🐟

Ximao Restaurant is very authentic, don’t forget to add rice noodles

✅ Yueyang Tower Milk Tea

A must-have cup at the scenic spot entrance🧋

Holding it while taking photos with Yueyang Tower feels very ceremonial

📅 One-day itinerary:

Morning at Junshan Island → Lunch with lake fresh fish → Afternoon at Yueyang Tower → Evening at Baling Square

📌【Practical Tips】

Direct bus from high-speed rail station to the scenic area

Buying a combo ticket is more cost-effective

Check sunset time and arrive early

Weekends are crowded, recommend off-peak visits
