Three days and two nights with kids at Langshan, these 5 pitfalls made me want to jump off a cliff!

Just rolled back with my 6-year-old from the "Little Zhangjiajie of Hunan," legs shaking like a sieve and almost lost the kid😱! The promised "Danxia secret realm" turned into a "tribulation scene." Keep this blood-and-tears pitfall avoidance guide safe, don’t learn from me this National Day👇 ♦️ Three days and two nights tribulation itinerary Day 1⃣️ High-speed train to Dong’an East ➠ Bus ride making the kid puke ➠ Camel Peak scared the kid to wet his pants Day 2⃣️ Bajiaozhai chasing the sea of clouds turned into a drenched mess ➠ Fuyi River bamboo raft got sunburned to peeling skin Day 3⃣️ Stuck in Tianyi Alley with the chubby kid ➠ Crying while packing blood plasma duck to go home ✅ Camel Peak’s deadly triple pitfalls 🐫 Steep ladder nightmare: Promised family-friendly, but the iron ladder is a vertical 70 degrees! Carried the kid by the collar the whole way up, palms sweaty and slipping 📸 Photo scam: The internet-famous "Chili Pepper Peak" sunset photo needs professional equipment + post-processing! Phone shots look like roasted sweet potatoes 🚌 Transport assassin: Scenic area shuttle bus interval is 40 minutes! Miss one and you wait crying ✅ Bajiaozhai sea of clouds trap ☁️ Weather forecast scam: Checked for lots of clouds in advance, but the mountaintop was foggy like Silent Hill! Suggest carrying a bottle of mineral water to check condensation on the bottle to judge humidity 🚡 Cable car nightmare: Cabin is like a steam box, kid said "Mom, I smell baked buns" (actually the sweat of the uncle in front) 🦯 Hiking stick mystery: Bamboo sticks 5 yuan each at the foot of the mountain, but found discarded ones all over the top ✅ Fuyi River bamboo raft blow 🦺 Moldy life jackets: The life jacket given to the kid had suspicious black spots! Strongly demanded a new one 🚤 "Guilin substitute" disillusionment: Both banks full of weeds and rocks, kid said "It’s worse than the community artificial lake" 🌞 Sunscreen loophole: Bamboo raft has no sunshade! Physical sunscreen + sunscreen cream still resulted in panda hands ✅ Tianyi Alley kid stuck nightmare 🧗♂️ One-line sky nightmare: 200-pound dad stuck in the rock crevice, unable to move forward or backward! Suggest kids over 1.2 meters measure chest circumference before entering 💦 Mossy slide: Water dripping inside the alley formed a natural slide, saw an auntie do a split fall and become a meme 🍜 Food red and black list 🔴 Blood plasma duck: Spicy level comparable to Flaming Mountain! When ordering for kids, say "baby level no spice" 🟡 Braised tofu: Crispy outside and tender inside, praised by the kid, but the price in the scenic area is twice that of the county town ⚫️ Bamboo tube rice: Rice grains so hard they hurt the teeth, suspect using old glutinous rice 📸 Photo secrets (life-saving!) 1️⃣ Camel Peak side cliff: Let the kid pretend to "hold up Chili Pepper Peak" for a forced perspective shot 2️⃣ Bajiaozhai incense burner rock: Shoot silhouette against the backlight early in the morning 3️⃣ Fuyi River shoal: Capture natural smiles while playing barefoot in the water 4️⃣ Tianyi Alley entrance: Hold the phone high to shoot the "one-line sky" oppressive feeling ⚠️ Life-saving advice 1️⃣ Bring anti-slip chains for hiking! Danxia red sandstone is slipperier than soap when wet 2️⃣ Prepare 10 bottles of mineral water! Mountain mineral water is 8 yuan/bottle, painful on the wallet 3️⃣ Wear quick-dry clothes! Canyon humidity is 90%, like a steam sauna 4️⃣ Carry a folding toilet! It takes 1 hour to walk from Tianyi Alley to the exit with no toilets 5️⃣ Bring photocopies of all documents! If your ID falls into a mountain crevice, you won’t get it back On the way back, the kid said: "Mom, can we go to the real Zhangjiajie next time?" 😭 This is not a world heritage site, it’s a parent-child endurance training camp! Langshan scenery is indeed magnificent, but the facilities are as backward as a stubborn old man. Wait until the kid is 12 to come back for a second round!
