Summer vacation paradise for family trips!

Hey everyone! I’ve discovered a hidden gem! Just got back from a two-day, one-night stay at the Yu Biboyuan Hotel in Liyang with my kids, and we didn’t want to leave! The hotel’s environment is so stunning it feels like stepping into a painting, and there are endless family-friendly activities to enjoy. Plus, I saved hundreds by booking a package on Ctrip! This guide will show you how to make the most of your trip while keeping it budget-friendly 💸 🌟 Highlights of the must-book hotel on Ctrip ✅ Prime location: Right at the entrance of Tianmu Lake Scenic Area! Search for "Yu Biboyuan Hotel" on Ctrip—only a 1.5-hour drive from Nanjing and 2.5 hours from Shanghai. No long journeys needed when traveling with kids! ✅ Stunning Chinese aesthetics: White walls, flying eaves, and Suzhou-style gardens—every photo looks like a classic Chinese painting! The lobby features landscape paintings and a Zen garden courtyard, even my picky kids exclaimed, "It’s like a place where immortals live!" ✅ Perfect family-friendly rooms: Highly recommend the "Lake View Family Room" on Ctrip! The room is super spacious, overlooking the lake, and soaking in the bathtub while watching the sunset is incredibly soothing. 📅 2-day, 1-night itinerary for families Day 1: Check-in and water fun 12:00 👉 Check-in: Make sure to book a package that includes tickets!
