Record it now Lately, many moms have been asking me how to travel in Guilin with kids, so I’ve put together a three-day, two-night family itinerary plus practical tips! If your little ones also love natural landscapes, be sure to save this~ ✅ ​Three-Day Family Itinerary​ 🔹DAY1: Arrive in Guilin → Elephant Trunk Hill Park (kids love watching the stone elephant drinking water) → Stroll and snack at Dongxi Alley with ancient-style snacks → Climb Xiaoyao Tower for a panoramic view → Shop for small souvenirs at Zhengyang Pedestrian Street → Night cruise on Two Rivers and Four Lakes (the boat ride with lights is super dreamy) 🔹DAY2: Explore Silver Cave (kids amazed by the stalactite wonders) → Take a multi-person bamboo raft on Yulong River for a water fight → Check in at Xingping on the Li River with the famous 20-yuan background → Evening free stroll and dinner on West Street, try Yangshuo beer fish 🔹DAY3: Bike ride through the Ten-Mile Gallery (renting a family electric bike is super convenient) → Visit a minority village to experience handicrafts → Row a small boat in the Peach Blossom Land → Return home fully satisfied 👶🏻 ​Exclusive Packing List for Kids​ ▪️Documents: ID card + student ID (discounts at attractions) ▪️Clothing: Lightweight down jacket, windproof hat, scarf (big temperature difference in the mountains) ▪️Daily essentials: Kids’ thermos cup, wet wipes, sunscreen, lip balm ▪️Medicines: Children’s cold medicine, stomach medicine, motion sickness patches, band-aids ▪️Others: Power bank, picture books and toys (to pass time on the road), small amount of cash (weak signal in villages) 🚄 ​Transportation Tips​ ▫️Fly directly to Guilin Liangjiang Airport, choose daytime flights so kids won’t be tired ▫️For high-speed rail, prioritize “Guilin Station,” closer to attractions to reduce travel hassle 🍜 ​Kid-Friendly Food Recommendations​ ▪️Guilin rice noodles (choose non-spicy broth) ▪️Osmanthus cake, soft and sweet ▪️Bamboo tube rice, fun to eat ▪️Gongcheng oil tea with sticky rice cake, warm and comforting 🎁 ​Family Souvenirs Worth Bringing Back​ Osmanthus tea, handmade nougat, mini chili sauce (cute and lightweight) — Follow this guide and your kids will be excited all the way, enjoying both nature lessons and food adventures!✨
