I thought Guilin was perfect for family trips, until I visited Guizhou...

📍I thought Guilin was already great for family trips, until I took my kids to Guizhou...

✈️ Itinerary Overview｜5 Days 4 Nights, Kid-Friendly & Hassle-Free

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family: 2 adults + 1 child (4.5 years old)

💰 Total cost: ~2.5k per person (off-season flights + hotels + car rental + tickets)

🚗 Transport: Rented a car at Guiyang Airport, highways straight to scenic spots—kids slept safely in car seats!

📸 Day1 Guiyang City Walk｜Starting with a Bowl of Sour Fish Soup

🌈 Highlights:
- Guizhou Provincial Museum: Dinosaur fossils + ethnic costumes exhibition—kids ran wild for 2 hours! (Free, booking required)

🍜 Food:

🌊 Day2-3 Libo Xiaoqikong｜Real-Life "Jelly Sea"

💡 Pro Tip: Must buy the sightseeing bus ticket! 7km total—kids can’t walk it all…

📷 Photo Spots:

🚂 Day4 Huangguoshu Waterfall｜Kids’ "Geography Lesson"

🎒 Packing List:
- Kids’ raincoats + anti-slip sandals (quality in scenic areas is poor!)
- Foldable stroller (many steep slopes, but staff help carry—super thoughtful!)

🌟 Hidden Gems:

💡 Final Tips

1️⃣ Scenic spots in Guizhou are far apart—renting a car saves time vs. trains + taxis!

2️⃣ Waterfall areas require "raincoat + water shoes"—pack 2 extra outfits for kids!

3️⃣ Eat at "Dazhong Dianping Must-Try" spots—kids love sour soup beef + Siwawa!

🌈 Why Guizhou > Guilin?

✅ More adventurous waterfalls: Kids can splash and catch fish (Guilin’s bamboo rafts are just for viewing)

✅ Kid-friendly food: Sour soup, sticky rice, tofu balls—plenty of non-spicy options

✅ Fewer crowds: Xiaoqikong feels private even on weekdays—no photo-bombing strangers!
