Check in at the National Geographic recommended fairy mountain with kids! Sanqing Mountain sea of clouds + super complete parent-child route guide

Who understands! After climbing Sanqing Mountain with the kids, I was totally won over😭
The sea of clouds in the rain meets strange peaks and rocks, and the kid points at the "Eastern Goddess" and asks, "Is she a fairy sister?"～
Su Shi’s saying "Admiring the beauty of all five sacred mountains, the best view is at Sanqing" really isn’t an exaggeration!
From May to June, the rhododendrons bloom brilliantly all over the mountain, and the photos the kid takes look like screenshots from a fantasy drama, my social circle is flooded with questions❗️

🚗Self-driving: Navigate to "Sanqing Mountain Jinsha Parking Lot" or "Waishuangxi Parking Lot," both parking lots have baby care rooms, very thoughtful

🏡How to choose parent-child accommodation
✅Stay at Rishang Mountain Villa on the mountain: prime spot for sunrise! 40 minutes walk, kids can walk slowly～ Also has tent⛺️ camping, super cool for kids to experience camping on the mountaintop once
✅Choose Jinsha Bay Holiday Hotel at the foot of the mountain: cost-effective, close to the cableway, many snacks nearby, kids can eat anytime when hungry

👏Fairy mountain survival guide for kids:
✅Must bring: sunscreen (very sunny on the mountaintop), windbreaker (strong wind on the mountaintop), children’s trekking poles (reduce kids’ burden), don’t bring too much stuff, lots of steps will tire kids
✅Safety first! The plank roads are slippery, always hold kids tight when taking photos, don’t let them run around
✅Cableway hours 7:30-17:30, don’t rush when climbing with kids, missing the last ride will be troublesome
✅Choose the right cableway to save energy: Jinsha Cableway has beautiful scenery and saves effort, if you want to avoid crowds, choose Waishuangxi Cableway
✅Sanqing Palace is super interesting! During morning bell and evening drum, take kids to learn "fairy etiquette" with the Taoist priest, kids have a great time, like traveling to a cultivation world～
