Scream! Jiangxi unearthed a living fossil from the dinosaur era! The parent-child adventure at Guiguishan is super, super addictive!

You guys get it! I just got back with my kid from this UN-certified Danxia secret realm in Jiangxi. My 5-year-old chased "moving stone turtles" all over the mountain, and 60 yuan brought the joy of a Universal Studios annual pass! Here's a fresh and hot 3-day, 2-night guide, quickly save it~ 📍【Three Routes for the Whole Family】 👉"Divine Turtle Route" is a must for chill moms: Gui Garden picking pine cones 🌰→General's Building playing "siege" battle 🏯→Haohan Slope taking family jumping photos 🤸→Crape Myrtle Garden being a flower thief 💐 💡Hidden tip: Bring kids' binoculars! The middle layer of the Three-Tiered Turtle, the "baby-carrying turtle," is so cute it melts your heart. Teach your kid to count how many "wrinkles" are on its shell (they're actually hundreds of millions of years of sedimentary rock layers!). 👉"Xiake Route" is a must for curious kids: Divine Turtle Welcome wearing Hanfu 👘→Hundred-Year Path touching thousand-year-old moss 📜→Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers looking for petal fossils 🌸→General's Building raising a flag and shouting "I'm here to defend the city" 🗡️ 🎁Easter egg: There are NPCs in the Wizard of Oz section! Sing folk songs to unlock turtle shell badges. 👉Challenge the "Full Route" for fitness fanatics: Gui Garden→Southern Sky Pillar counting rock caves 🔢→Glass Skywalk practicing "Qinggong" (lightness skill) 🏃→Camel Peak feeding squirrels 🐿️→Qingshui Pond having a water fight 💦 ⚠️Note: Rent mini hiking poles! They're so cute passersby will ask for the link, and you can also get limited edition turtle stickers and a check-in booklet at the foot of the mountain. 📸【6 Divine Photo Spots for Your Kid to Model】 1️⃣Old Man Peak Cliff: Give your kid a magnifying glass 🔍 to pretend to be an "archaeologist," with a 180-million-year-old Danxia fault in the background. 2️⃣Camel Peak Backlit Shot: Silhouettes instantly turn into martial arts drama protagonists, and the sunset gilding the red rocks is absolutely stunning. 3️⃣At the foot of the Three-Tiered Turtle: Wide-angle lens makes your kid look like a "turtle tamer," and everyone on WeChat Moments will ask if it's an AI effect. 4️⃣Qingshui Lake Raft: Rent a paper umbrella for 10 yuan to take fantasy martial arts blockbusters, the reflection on the lake comes with a built-in PS effect. 5️⃣Skywalk Corner: Red rocks + green trees create a natural oil painting frame, capturing your kid running makes for a super storytelling shot. 6️⃣Crape Myrtle Flower Bush: The light and shadow at 4 PM are breathtakingly beautiful, teach your kid to arrange petals into turtle shapes. 🏨【Secret to Staying in a Fairy Tale】 Highly recommend "Huajianling Bishui Danxin"! Its parent-child details make other hotels cry~ ✅Rooms come with a turtle tent ⛺ + Big Dipper projection lamp 🌌 ✅Breakfast features freshly stir-fried Yiyang rice cakes that make neighboring kids cry (you can also experience pounding glutinous rice!) ✅Free rental of children's ancient-style cloaks, instantly transporting you to the era of Xu Xiake's travels. ✅Includes a dinosaur adventure handbook 🦕 + rock layer sticker collection book, and you can stargaze on the rooftop at night to find "turtle stars" ✨ ⚠️【Lessons Learned to Avoid Pitfalls】 ❌Don't wear dark colors! White/goose yellow looks amazing against the reddish-brown rocks, and wearing Hanfu is even better for photos. ✅Have your kid wear shark-tooth anti-slip shoes! Mossy stone steps after rain are even slipperier than ice. ✅Bring self-heating rice! The three supply points on the mountain are 2 km apart, and a hungry kid will make you even more stressed. ✅Sunglasses with a lanyard! The pain of losing two pairs in three days 😭 (the scenic area's small shop sells them for 50 yuan, a huge loss). ✅Take the raft before 8:30 AM! The morning mist is MAX on fairy-tale value, after 9 AM, the backlight prevents reflections. 🌋【Top-tier Nature Classroom】 ▪️Do a "volcano eruption" experiment with pine cones + red rock fragments (safe small fragments!) ▪️Make rubbings of rock folds to tell the story of "Earth's wrinkles," 100 times more vivid than picture books. ▪️Find the Autumn Triangle constellation on the rooftop at night, and make up turtle constellation legends ✨ ▪️Experience intangible cultural heritage of pounding rice cakes at the foot of the mountain, your kid will laugh like a goose while swinging the wooden mallet. We played until the security guard used a loudspeaker to urge us down the mountain! On the way home, my kid was still humming a self-composed "Turtle Song"~ While few people know about this place, quickly save this guide and go! (🗺️Exclusive Easter Egg: Find the grandpa forest ranger wearing a straw hat to get a hand-drawn treasure map and unlock a hidden turtle stone!) ⏰Off-peak Secret Rush in at 7:00 AM when the park opens! Avoid tour groups at 9 AM. If you have kids, it's recommended to stay in the scenic area for two days and explore the outer secret trails on the second day. 👇🏻Want to know how to film "resurrection" videos of the stone turtles?
