As a guesthouse for families, it’s truly a delightful surprise~Entering the three-courtyard Qing Dynasty-style ancient residence replica, there’s no musty smell of old buildings, the rooms are new and fully equipped, meeting all the little needs of kids~The garden offers a scenic view at every step, sipping tea while watching koi fish is super cozy, and the wood carvings and mortise-and-tenon designs are full of Chinese aesthetic charm. The kids even asked me, “How are these wooden pieces put together so beautifully?”~ Jianshui itself is also perfect for kids! Away from the hustle and bustle, with over 1,200 years of city history full of historical atmosphere, the lively street scenes are very authentic, making it comfortable to stroll with kids without any rush~ 🚗 Here comes the super worry-free 5-day family itinerary in southeastern Yunnan! 🔹DAY 1: Kunming → Mile Meet the tour leader upon arrival, no need to find your own way, super convenient! Head straight to Mile Dongfengyun Farm, truly living up to the name "Oriental Kaleidoscope"~The red brick castle was built by the owner over 8 years, showing kids masterful architectural art, and they watched very attentively~ 🔹DAY 2: Mile → Jianshui The morning at Ant Workshop is just perfect for kids! Colorful buildings + imaginative designs create a full visual impact, plus you can experience purple pottery culture, and the kids were super happy making small pottery by hand~ In the afternoon, explore Jianshui Ancient Town! First see the ethnically characteristic Chaoyang Tower, then visit the "Grand View Garden of Southern Yunnan," Zhu Family Garden, with its beautiful gardens perfect for photos~After getting tired from walking, enjoy Jianshui tofu, steam pot chicken, crossing-the-bridge rice noodles, and sweet pomegranate juice, the kids were very satisfied~ 🔹DAY 3: Jianshui → Honghe / Yuanyang The morning ride on the Yunnan-Vietnam Scenic Railway is very special!
