My husband planned the perfect family trip to Chongzuo! The kids were so happy they didn't want to leave

🌴 Choosing the right destination for a family vacation is crucial! This hidden gem on the China-Vietnam border is a paradise for families - quieter than Yangshuo and more wild than Guilin. The moment we arrived, nature embraced us, and the kids' laughter never stopped 👉 The LUX* Chongzuo Resort packages the most beautiful scenery of Mingshi like a painting - friends asked if we'd gone abroad when I posted photos 🌍 📍LUX* Chongzuo Resort A treasure hidden deep in Mingshi countryside, close to Detian Transnational Waterfall. The room windows framed karst peaks like living paintings for the kids, with tropical jungle wrapping the resort - my child said it felt like living in a forest castle 🏰 📍Shexi All-Sea-View Boutique Hotel (Weizhou Island) Our family base by Weizhou Island's most beautiful beach. The 270° sea view rooms were amazing - kids could watch fishing boats for hours. With Instagram-worthy white and wood decor, we didn't worry about kids being messy. The infinity pool was so fun they never wanted to get out 📸 🎡 Must-do activities with kids: ✔ Detian Transnational Waterfall (kids ran wildly through the mist) ✔ Rice field coffee cabin (kids chased butterflies while I relaxed) ✔ LUX* bamboo raft afternoon tea (gentle floating with well-behaved snack time) ✔ Mingshi countryside cycling (leisurely family bike rides) ✔ Open-air cinema under stars (romantic movie nights on grass) ✔ Weizhou Island electric cart tour (breezy island exploration) 🗓 Itinerary: D1: Nanning airport pickup - hotel checkin ✨ 24h airport transfer was so thoughtful - kids slept in the car and continued napping at hotel. Night market snacks like sour fruits and rice noodles were hits D2: Nanning - Mingshi - countryside cycling - bamboo raft tea ✨ Family bikes through moving landscape paintings, bamboo rafting on Mingshi River with kids splashing water - too relaxing to leave D3: Mingshi - Detian Waterfall - stargazing cinema ✨ Breathtaking waterfall! Bamboo raft to base had kids laughing through the spray. Coffee by rice fields with waterfall views, then starry movie night with endless questions D4: Mingshi - Beihai Old Street - Silver Beach ✨ Historic street snacks kept kids munching. Barefoot runs on soft sand chasing waves made for endless photos D5: Beihai - Weizhou Island ✨ Boat to island with local guide. Electric cart tour had kids standing front, loving the sea breeze and scenic stops D6: Weizhou Island - departure ✨ Loaded up on seafood and shells - kids happily carried their souvenirs home, already asking to return next year
