📷 In a nutshell: Guangwu Mountain in Sichuan is amazing! Taking kids to see the red leaves is even more beautiful than expected～ 🍁 I've long heard the saying "Jiuzhai for water, Guangwu for mountains." Visiting Guangwu Mountain with kids from October to December truly amazed me! This is known as "China's Number One Red Leaf Mountain," with an elevation of 2,507.2 meters, covering 39 square kilometers, and a viewing area of 580 square kilometers. The scenic area is full of trees, with a forest coverage rate of 97%. Walking in feels like entering a "natural oxygen bar," with over 30,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter. Bringing kids here means breathing fresh air and escaping city smog～ The annual average temperature is 16.2℃. When visiting from October to December, wearing a sweater plus a light jacket is just right—not too cold or hot—so kids can play comfortably. Once autumn arrives, the entire mountain is dyed red by the leaves, layer upon layer of red leaves like flames, called "Asia’s longest natural red carpet." Kids can’t help but grab my hand and run, saying they want to play on the "red carpet"～ 💟 Scenic Area Tickets: Know the ticket policies in advance for a smoother trip with kids～ ✅ Guangwu Mountain Tourist Scenic Area: Ticket 80 RMB/person, sightseeing bus ticket 40 RMB/person (children under 1.2 meters free, 1.2-1.4 meters half price, remember to bring ID) ✅ Micang Mountain Tourist Scenic Area: Ticket 90 RMB/person, sightseeing bus ticket 60 RMB/person (the sightseeing bus runs a loop, so no need to backtrack with kids, very convenient) ✅ Shibayue Pool Scenic Area: Ticket 55 RMB/person, shuttle bus ticket 10 RMB/person (the roads inside are narrow, self-driving is inconvenient, taking the shuttle bus is safer) 🏡 Accommodation Guide: Good lodging means a happy trip with kids! Choose top nearby luxury wilderness hotels for sure～ Recommended is Guangwu Mountain Forest Luxury Resort Hotel, only a 5-minute drive from Guangwu Mountain Scenic Area, super convenient location. The hotel is built in the forest, with rooms as standalone wooden cabins. Open the window and you see dense woods and red leaves; at night you can hear insects and birds singing. Kids say it feels like living in a "fairy tale house"～ The family rooms have children’s slides and small toys, kids can’t stop playing once inside. The hotel has a dedicated children’s play area with picture books, building blocks, and toy trains. After daytime outings, kids can still play there in the evening. The hotel breakfast is rich, with porridge, buns, fruit, and kids’ favorite small cakes. Dinner features local specialties like Guangwu Mountain cured meat and stir-fried bamboo shoots with pork, which kids love～ 🍂 Pure Play Route Recommendation: A relaxed three-day trip, kids can have fun without getting tired～ 📍 Day 1: Chengdu - Enyang Ancient Town - Guangwu Mountain Depart from Chengdu at 8:30 AM, about a 4-hour drive.

Chaka Salt Lake is a must-visit family spot on the Qinghai-Gansu Grand Loop! Known as the "Mirror of the Sky" in China, it was also listed by National Geographic as one of the 55 places to visit in a lifetime. Bring your kids to experience the lake’s dreamlike scenery—perfect for photos! 🌤 Weather Tips for Viewing the "Mirror of the Sky" with Kids ✅ Best in summer on sunny days: less precipitation, light wind, complete salt crystals, and super clear reflections ✅ Always choose cloudless sunny days with plenty of light, so the lake surface shines like a mirror ❌ On cloudy or overcast days, the lake surface looks dull and murky, greatly reducing the mirror effect ✅ Try to pick calm or light wind days; a still lake surface is key for perfect reflections ❌ Strong winds cause ripples on the water, ruining the mirror effect 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Suggested Family Itinerary 🌞 If the weather is good: take the small train directly to the last stop at the "Mirror of the Sky" area for photos, then explore outward slowly 🌥 If the weather is average but might clear up: start near the entrance with the salt sculptures and walk while waiting for the weather to improve 🚂 Small Train Station Guide Chaka Salt Station: the world’s largest outdoor salt sculpture group, spectacular and impressive Chaka Xia Station: beautiful lake sunset views in the evening Chaka Wind Station: photo spots including the crystallized love viewing platform, Mirror of the Sky stones, swings, and more Chaka Snow Station (key stop): Water train like in Spirited Away Old railway industrial relics Various photo props like the Mirror of the Sky sign, hot air balloon, piano, etc. Great spot to capture Gangshika Snow Mountain and the salt lake together 💡 Practical Tips for Family Trips Tickets: 60 RMB in peak season, 30 RMB in off-season Opening hours: 7:30 AM - 9:30 PM in peak season Recommended visit time: 2-4 hours Small train: 50 RMB one way (can get on and off midway), runs every 10-15 minutes Electric cart: 5 RMB one way, but only covers 1 km so not necessary Shoe cover rental: 10 RMB (50 RMB deposit), a must if the weather is good Altitude: about 3059 meters, watch for altitude sickness in kids 👟 Should you rent shoe covers? If the weather is good and you plan to step into the water for reflections, definitely rent! The shoe covers are thick and waterproof. If you only walk on the shore or the weather is bad, no need. 🚂 Is the small train recommended? Highly recommended with kids! The stations are far apart, the salt ground is rough and hard to walk on, and the train saves energy by taking you directly to the best spots. 🧂 Free salt souvenirs available outside the park (with ticket package purchase over 108 RMB) 🚗 For self-driving, park in Zone E for closest access, parking fee 10 RMB 🏡 Accommodation recommended in Chaka Town for convenient dining and proximity to the park
