This hidden niche in Zunyi offers both stunning landscapes and ethnic cultural experiences, making it a perfect spot for family outings~ 🌟 Highlights ✅ Experiences that make kids scream with joy - Rowboat ride through stilt house clusters (most beautiful in the early morning mist, with boatmen singing mountain songs) - Rice field fish-catching contest (farming experience area on the edge of the scenic spot, with baskets and fishing nets provided) - Intangible cultural heritage workshop family challenge: traditional papermaking + herbal lantern making (recommended "Wu Paper Workshop") - 8:00 PM drone show + terraced field fireworks (Fridays and Saturdays only, comparable to Disneyland) 📸 Top photo spots 1. "Huilong Island" night view platform (take a Miao family portrait when thousands of lanterns light up) 2. "Zhilanjie" tie-dye fabric hanging area (best light and shadow at 4 PM) 3. "Fish Market Pier" morning mist boat shadows (shoot with telephoto lens from 7:00 to 8:00 AM) 🍜 Must-eat family food list 🔸 Food: Northern Guizhou rice noodles, brown sugar glutinous rice balls with ice jelly, bamboo tube rice 🔸 Recommended shops: Soup stall (waterside stall), Yanhuang Teahouse, Terraced Field Farmhouse Restaurant 🔸 Kid-friendly level: 🌶️ mild spiciness can be avoided ✅ sweet tooth favorites, pairs well with sour soup for an appetizing taste 🏡 Worry-free accommodation choices 👉 Premium: Mushan Hotel (includes scenic area tickets + shuttle, balcony faces fireworks show) 👉 Cost-effective: Miao King Hotel (family rooms with stilt house elements, includes intangible cultural heritage experience voucher) ⚠️ Note: Homestays inside the scenic area are expensive; you can stay in Zunyi city (40 minutes by car) but will miss the night view 🚗 Smart transportation tips 🔸 From Guiyang: 1.5-hour private car direct transfer (ideal for families with kids) 🔸 High-speed rail travelers: 30-minute taxi from Zunyi South Station (look for "Wujiangzhai East Visitor Center") 🔸 Hidden perk: Half-price admission after 4:00 PM (great for night tour lovers) 💡 Essential tips for parents 1. Bring water play gear: shallow streams inside the village for wading (prepare creek shoes + change of clothes) 2. Miao costume rental: choose "Miao Yi Clothing" for new styles (children’s costumes 30 RMB/hour) 3. Mosquito protection upgrade: many mosquitoes by the river at dusk, recommend Thai herbal balm 📅 Classic 2 Days 1 Night Itinerary DAY 1: Depart Zunyi → 2:00 PM check-in → tie-dye experience → 6:00 PM long table feast → 8:00 PM fireworks → night tour of lantern street DAY 2: 7:30 AM morning mist rowboat → 9:00 AM rice field fish-catching → 11:00 AM traditional papermaking → 1:00 PM return trip We stayed in a Miao stilt house homestay, falling asleep to the sound of frogs at night.
