Yangshuo Homestay with Kids Was a Nightmare! These 3 Pitfalls Made Me Want to Flee Back to the City

Hi~ I'm a mom braving the countryside with my 5-year-old👩👦! Just checked out from Wanxiang Qinggu Homestay - the mountain views were picturesque, but the kid-friendly traps made me want to jump into the river! Read this before you go👇 💡【Copy This 3-Day 2-Night Itinerary】 Day1: Shoot the 20 Yuan Bill at Xingping Ancient Town → Chase sunset at Laozhai Mountain → Try beer fish at West Street Day2: Get soaked on Yulong River bamboo rafts → Rock climbing in Ten-Mile Gallery → Watch sea of clouds at Xianggong Mountain Day3: Scooter ride to Longji Terraces → Play in water at Hongtan Waterfall → Pose at Zhuangyuan Bridge 🌈【Attractions Kids Love-Hate】 ✅ Wanxiang Qinggu Homestay (Watch your kids!) The glass house in rice fields is breathtaking🌾! BUT! The homestay's cows chased my kid for carrots, terrifying him into climbing a tree screaming "Mom the Bull Demon King is coming!"🐂 The chickens and ducks running everywhere turned into my kid chasing poultry and falling into puddles... ✅ Yulong River Bamboo Raft (Bring spare clothes!) The leisurely hand-rowed raft was so relaxing🛶! But my brat insisted on playing with water guns and sprayed a girl on another raft - I apologized until my lips cramped😅 We all returned soaked like drowned rats... ✅ Ten-Mile Gallery Rock Climbing (Choose beginner routes!) My 5-year-old insisted on intermediate routes🧗♂️, got stuck halfway and cried so loud the whole village came to watch! The coach carried him down like a little turtle - so embarrassing I wanted to disappear... ⚠️【Bloody Lessons Learned】 1️⃣ Never book "Field View Room"! Floor-to-ceiling windows face rice fields - we were woken at 5am by frog concerts🐸, kid cried "The toads are having a music festival!" 2️⃣ Skip strollers at Laozhai Mountain! Stone steps are like climbing to heaven - almost rolled down carrying my kid 3️⃣ Choose powerful scooters for Longji Terraces! Ours died halfway - pushed 3km while kid yelled "Giddy up!" from the seat😤 🚗【Transport & Stay Tips】 ✔️ At Yangshuo Station, only take taxis with "Gui C" plates! Scammers charged 50 yuan extra and my kid got carsick🍃 ✔️ Homestay breakfast rice noodles with tea eggs are perfect! But my kid used eggs as marbles - spent ages finding them in rice fields🥚 ✔️ Leash pets! The landlord's dog chased our cat everywhere - kid cried "We must protect the space cat!"🐱 🍜【Foodie Survival Guide】 ✔️ Shred bamboo chicken for kids! Mine couldn't chew drumsticks and threw them to the homestay dog🍗 ✔️ West Street beer fish is spicy even at mild! Kid downed 3 AD Calcium milks to cool down🔥 ✔️ Avoid scenic spot bamboo rice! Hard rice almost broke kid's baby tooth - his wails echoed through Li River... Biggest surprise was Hongtan Waterfall💦! Kid skipped stones in shallow water and actually hit a swimming grass carp🐟~ Though I washed my mud-monster 8 times daily, when he hugged a duckling at checkout saying "Let's take it home", suddenly even the cow chases felt worth it!
