Jiaxing with kids is back, sisters planning to go, listen up

✨Jiaxing 3 days 2 nights with kids|Avoid crowded popular spots with niche activities|Includes pitfall avoidance guide✨ Family, who understands! Just got back from Jiaxing with the kids and can't wait to organize the guide! This time I discovered N treasure family-friendly spots, avoiding the crowds of Wuzhen and Xitang, having fun and peace of mind! 🔥 🚗 Travel preparation: ▫️Documents: ID card/household register (children) + student ID ▫️Gear: folding stroller (friendly for stone pavements), sun hat, kids' sunglasses, portable mini fan ▫️Medicine: mosquito repellent patches + anti-itch cream (summer essential), fever patches, band-aids ▫️Clothing: bright-colored family outfits (great for photos) + water shoes (for playing in water) 📸 Must-visit TOP 5: 1. Jiang Xiaoju Park (highly recommended for families) ✅ Magic maze + dinosaur archaeology + wetland adventure, 42 acres of large outdoor space ✅ Juice castle DIY experience, kids won’t want to leave 📍Tips: Best to go in the morning, too sunny in the afternoon! The park has light meals, remember to bring mosquito spray 2. Meihuazhou (ancient style photo spot) ✅ Thousand-year-old ginkgo + Shifo Ancient Temple, full of Zen atmosphere ✅ Free Hanfu experience (deposit required), perfect for family ancient style photos 📍Hidden gem: deep in the bamboo forest is a free kids’ playground with sandpit and slides, super healing 3. Yunlan Bay National Trend Lantern Festival (top night tour) ✅ July limited light and shadow show! Thousands of palace lanterns + intangible cultural heritage iron flower show ✅ Family DIY lantern experience, you can take your lantern home after making it 📍Transport: recommended to drive, 30 minutes from downtown 4. Three Peaches Adventure Park (energy burner) ✅ 5D cinema + kayaking + adventure magic web, very rich activities ✅ Coaches accompany the whole time, parents can sit nearby and drink milk tea 📍Note: some activities require advance booking 5. Donghu Lake Cruise (top choice for summer cooling) ✅ 1-hour cruise to enjoy lake views, passing by Li Shutong Memorial Hall ✅ Family ticket includes commentary, kids can learn while playing 📍Recommended to choose the 4 PM departure, the sunset glow is stunning! 🍜 Food recommendations and warnings: ❤️ Recommended: ▫️ Xiexi Street Shaomai (2 RMB each, juicy meat filling) ▫️ Zhenzhen Laolao Zongzi (must buy salted egg yolk meat zongzi, vacuum packed to take away) ▫️ Nanhu Water Chestnut (freshly picked and eaten, sweet and unique) 💔 Avoid: ▫️ Some internet-famous lamb noodles (30 RMB per bowl, low cost performance) ▫️ Handmade candy inside scenic spots (too sweet and expensive) ⚠️ Pitfall avoidance guide: 1. Buy Wuzhen West Gate tickets 1 day in advance, on-site queues take at least 1 hour 2. Book family hotels at least 3 days in advance on weekends, recommended "Luxihui Kaiyuan Guantang" 3. Don’t trust “discount tickets” sold by touts at scenic spot entrances, official channels are most reliable 4. Don’t wear holey shoes with kids! Stone pavements are slippery 📌 Three-day itinerary reference: DAY1: Jiang Xiaoju Park → Meihuazhou → Yuehe Street night view DAY2: Yunlan Bay Lantern Festival → Three Peaches Adventure Park → Nanhu Tiandi DAY3: Donghu Lake Cruise → Zicheng Ruins → Return trip Jiaxing is truly an underrated treasure city! It has the gentleness of Jiangnan water towns, many family-friendly facilities, and affordable prices! This summer, bring your kids to unlock it~✨
