Departing from Guangzhou! Super worry-free family trip guide to Chenzhou

Bring the kids for a weekend getaway, we specially chose Chenzhou~ You can explore everything in just two days! Our family had a great time this trip~

🚄 Transportation Guide
From Guangzhou South to Chenzhou West, there are plenty of high-speed trains, taking only 1.5 hours direct. Upon arrival, it’s recommended to rent a car or take a taxi for more freedom and convenience when heading to scenic spots and homestays!

🌟 Must-Visit Attractions
1. Misty Xiaodong River: A must-see fairyland morning mist, the kids found the fishermen casting nets super magical!
2. Yangtian Lake Grassland: A rare highland grassland in the south where you can feed alpacas, ride horses, and let the kids run freely for a full experience.
(If time allows, cycling around Bailang Lake or visiting the Danxia landform at Gaoyiling are also worth it!)

🏡 Hidden Gem Accommodation: Lanting Courtyard Boutique Homestay
Highly recommend this homestay, it’s super family-friendly!
✔️ Only about a 10-minute walk to Dongjiang Lake Scenic Area! No need to rush for transport, you can leisurely walk back after watching the morning mist and take a nap.
✔️ Less than 100 RMB per person, rooms are clean and tidy, some with floor-to-ceiling windows offering great views, unbeatable value for money!
✔️ The host is very nice and proactively provides travel tips. Most importantly, you can book a business car in advance, solving travel problems for families or small groups in the scenic area, super hassle-free!

🍽️ Food
• Lunch | Xiaozhiwei: Just a 5-minute drive from the homestay, quiet environment, home-style delicious dishes, great value, and kids can find food they love.
• Dinner | Slow Fire · One Fish One BBQ: The signature stone pot fish is incredibly fresh! Can be made mildly spicy so kids can try some. Order some skewers and chilled rice wine for adults to perfectly end the day!

Still unsure where to go this summer vacation? You can directly copy this Chenzhou guide!
