Having visited Moganshan for 3 consecutive years, here are 10 foolproof family travel tips

With its picturesque scenery and fresh air, I've been bringing my kids to Moganshan for three years now. Today, I'm sharing 10 tried-and-tested recommendations along with age-appropriate itineraries – save this guide now! 1⃣️ Moganshan's charm lies in its natural serenity. Let kids splash around freely to truly appreciate its beauty – this isn't the place for military-style sightseeing marathons. 2⃣️ Driving is the ideal way to explore Moganshan. Cruising through lush mountain roads is itself a delightful part of the journey. 3⃣️ Non-drivers can take high-speed rail to Deqing Station, then transfer to shuttle buses heading to Moganshan Tourist Distribution Center. 4⃣️ Perfect itinerary for under-5s: - Day1: Drive directly to Yiyuan Farm upon arrival. - Day2: Enjoy stream trekking and water play, explore Yucun Village, then head home. 5⃣️ Three fantastic water play spots: - Moganshan Fish Scale Dam: Shallow "fish scale" cascades perfect for kids to play and catch fish, with deeper sections for boating. Parking and dining available (can get crowded). - Xibei Village: Features deep pools and stone dams upstream, with expansive shallow streams ideal for toddlers. - Qianbai Line: Peaceful area with two water features – another fish scale dam and an S-shaped dam, both with parking. 6⃣️ Yiyuan Farm is kid-heaven! Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid midday heat. Friendly animals roam freely – expect cuddly goats and hands-on milking experiences. 7⃣️ Moganshan Scenic Area (with Sword Pond, Baiyun Villa, Reed Marsh, and Emerald Pool) requires considerable walking despite shuttle buses, making it less suitable for young children. 8⃣️ Yucun Village's retro Republic-era architecture makes a perfect midday or evening pitstop between attractions – stroll leisurely and savor local cuisine. 9⃣️ Don't miss Moganshan's culinary specialties: free-range chicken soup, wild mountain vegetables, fish hotpot, bamboo shoot dishes, and sun-dried bamboo shoots. 1⃣️0⃣️ Older kids will love these spots: - Naked Castle: Stunning mountain-top fortress - Dadouwu Reservoir: "Little Jiuzhaigou" of Zhejiang - 18-Bend Rafting: Thrilling rapids better suited for teens
