Family trip to Qingyao Mountain in Luoyang! Take the kids to a summer resort straight out of the Classic of Mountains and Seas

✨A hidden family secret spot in Luoyang! Qingyao Mountain Grand Canyon is perfect for taking kids out to play🏞️ ▫️ "A fairyland inspired by the Classic of Mountains and Seas! Take the kids into a green wonderland, with emerald pools and strange stones underfoot, and flying waterfalls above. The Henan version of 'Little Jiuzhaigou' will have the kids not wanting to leave~" 🚗【Transportation Guide】 📍Navigation: Qingyao Mountain Scenic Area, Xin'an County, Luoyang ✔️About 2 hours by car from Zhengzhou, 1.5 hours direct from Luoyang city center. For kids, it’s recommended to buy a sightseeing bus ticket to save energy. 🏡【Accommodation Guide】 Nearby recommendation: "Qingyao Mountain Yunding Wild Luxury Homestay," close to the scenic area, where you can watch the starry sky over the mountains at night—perfect for families. 📸【Top Spots for Family Photos】 1️⃣ Fairy Pool: On sunny days, Tyndall light appears, perfect for taking stunning forest-style photos with kids. 2️⃣ Shuanglong Gorge: Red rocks and green streams. Dress the kids in light colors for great photos anytime. 3️⃣ Moon Bay: Ride a transparent boat, kids love it, and parents get super healing shots from the kid’s perspective. 🌿【Family Activities Recommendations】 ✅ Easy kid-friendly route: Scenic area entrance → Gallery Lake (watch fish with kids) → Wuluo Palace (listen to myths) → Tongtian Ladder (low difficulty), 3 hours with no stress. ✅ Summer exclusive: Take the kids for gentle canyon rafting (mild and not thrilling), then find some shade to enjoy chilled watermelon—super refreshing for summer. ✅ Small family interactions: Observe little mountain insects with the kids, collect pretty leaves, and tell stories from the Classic of Mountains and Seas. 🍃【Tips for Traveling with Kids】 ▪️ Best to visit from June to October. The mountain is about 10℃ cooler than the city, remember to bring a light jacket for the kids. ▪️ The acorn jelly at the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain is kid-friendly, soft and tender with no spice. ▪️ Hold the kids’ hands on the plank road; some sections are a bit slippery, don’t let them run too fast. 💬 "Only after taking the kids did I realize that phones can’t capture the freshness of the mountains! The kids chased butterflies while I enjoyed the mountain breeze—this is the kind of family time summer should have~"
