Autumn Family Trip Around Changsha: Yichun Mingyue Mountain! Pitfall Avoidance Guide + Kid-Friendly Tips

Sharing my experience of avoiding pitfalls while visiting Mingyue Mountain with kids in autumn to help everyone steer clear of trouble💣! (Launched Jiangxi Local Donkey One-Code Tour, covering most family-friendly attractions and entertainment in Jiangxi. Remember to book one day in advance) - 🌟Day 1: Rest and Adaptation Day 1️⃣🚄 After arriving in Yichun, take a taxi to Wentang Town. In the afternoon, let the kids experience the local foot-washing culture! Wentang Ancient Town focuses on health and elderly care, perfect for family relaxation. 2️⃣For dinner, choose a local specialty restaurant🍲 (Ximi Restaurant)💡tips: When ordering, ask for mild dishes for the kids and avoid spicy food. 3️⃣Stay at Naxi Homestay in Wentang Town🏨 (Family Tip: When choosing a room, prioritize those with the shower and toilet in the same area for easier care of kids!) 4️⃣Take a walk to the Gongliao Hot Spring to soak in the special selenium-rich hot spring♨️ (Bring kids’ swim trunks and caps; the water temperature is suitable, making it very comfortable for family bathing) - 🌟Day 2: Mingyue Mountain Family Hiking Day After breakfast, head straight to Mingyue Mountain⛰️. For kids, take the cable car🚠 up the mountain to save energy. 1️⃣Have breakfast in Wentang Town and find a bakery with coffee☕️, where you can buy bread and milk for the kids to recharge. 2️⃣Book a ride to Mingyue Mountain💡tips: If the driver tries to overcharge, firmly refuse, get off, and complain to customer service for a 10 yuan compensation. 3️⃣Exchange tickets at the Mingyue Mountain Visitor Center window🪟. 💡tips: The visitor center offers free lockers🗄️ to store belongings, so you can travel light with kids. 4️⃣Mingyue Mountain summit has 6,381 steps🪜, with an elevation of 1,556 meters. For kids, it’s recommended to take the cable car to the top🚠: uphill cable car costs 80 yuan💰, downhill 70 yuan💰, about 20 minutes (stops once midway, where kids can see a waterfall). 5️⃣At the summit, there is a high-altitude camping base⛺️. To the right are Moon Lake and Qingyun Boardwalk: 🚶A 30-minute walk (the scenic shuttle bus costs 15 yuan💰, recommended for families with kids) First stop of the shuttle bus: 🚞High-altitude mini train (round trip 100 yuan💰), kids love it. Next stop: shuttle bus terminal, a circular route⭕️: enter from the left rockery, passing Xingyue Cave🌟 - Qingyun Boardwalk (1.5 km long, stunning autumn scenery) - Moon Lake🌲 (1-hour walk, can be leisurely explored with kids) 6️⃣Return trip: Cable car closes at 5 PM, so plan ahead when traveling with kids. 💡Family Tip: To visit all attractions and activities, take the cable car🚠 up, first stop at Qingyun Boardwalk for photos, start descending by 3 PM⌚️, hike down⛰️ to visit the Five-Tier Waterfalls (Yungu Waterfall, Linglong Waterfall, Fish Scale Waterfall, Feilian Waterfall, Yulong Waterfall), arriving at the foot of the mountain around 5 PM. - 🏨Accommodation Guide Yichun Weijing International Hot Spring Hotel: A high-end family-friendly hotel nearby, offering hot springs and children’s play facilities, ideal for families with kids. - This is a summary of the autumn family trip guide after hitting pitfalls twice😢! Hope it helps everyone enjoy Mingyue Mountain with their kids~
