It's super healing for a family vacation with kids, so start planning now~ Chenzhou’s hidden gem attractions, check them off one by one with your kids: ✅ Dongjiang Lake: The misty Xiao Dongjiang lives up to its reputation. From April to October every year, early mornings see the lake shrouded in clouds and mist, with fishermen casting nets creating a "fairyland" scene. Wake the kids early to enjoy the tranquility and snap a photo "in a fairyland"—super photogenic. ✅ Yangtianhu Grassland: Known as the "Southern Hulunbuir," it truly deserves the name. Summer average temperature is 20°C. Let the kids chase butterflies and set up tents on the grassland (rentals available in the park). At night, stargazing is a joy, bringing the family closer to nature. ✅ Gaoyiling: A pristine Danxia landform scenic area, the dark green "Heavenly Pool" is breathtaking. Walk the gentle trails with your kids, let them pick up small stones (outside protected areas) to feel the texture of Danxia rock and cultivate their interest in nature. ✅ Feitian Mountain: Where Danxia landforms coexist with karst caves. While exploring the caves with your kids, tell them "stalactites are formed by dripping water," let them touch it to feel the wonder of nature—very educational. ✅ Yuhou Street: The oldest street in Chenzhou, full of historical charm from southern Hunan. When the lights come on at night, it feels like "traveling back to ancient times." Take your kids to see the intangible cultural heritage wall and listen to elders tell stories of old Chenzhou, enriching their knowledge. ✅ Chenzhou Paradise Hot Spring Resort Hotel: The top choice for a vacation! The guest rooms and villas are nestled in a bamboo forest halfway up the mountain.
