Ctrip Family: A Family Outing This Weekend

    The weather in April is comfortable—not too cold and without the summer heat—making it a perfect time for weekend outings and enjoying the spring scenery. Of course, such beautiful spring days are best spent with family. Mobilizing the whole family for a spring trip not only allows you to enjoy the pleasant weather and lovely views but also gives the family more quality time together, making up for the lack of companionship that many working individuals experience. Since it’s a family outing, choosing a relatively relaxing and fun itinerary is naturally important, but so is selecting a suitable place to stay for the whole family. When traveling with family, you need more spacious accommodations, as well as facilities for cooking and laundry. Most importantly, it should be cost-effective. Vacation apartments, which are very popular nowadays, can perfectly meet the needs of family trips. Below, we introduce several travel combinations for families in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou that offer both great activities and comfortable stays.

    Around Beijing — Qinhuangdao

 

    Conghua has a long history and is one of the birthplaces of Lingnan culture. It also boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, with picturesque landscapes. Its mountain, water, forest, fruit, spring, and lake resources, characterized by distinctive landscapes, are very abundant. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it attracted many literati and poets who were enchanted by the hot springs amid the green mountains and waters of Qingyun Mountain, leaving behind numerous poems, paintings, and calligraphy works. Conghua is the “Kingdom of Lychees,” the place where the Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo wrote, “I could eat three hundred lychees a day and never tire of being a man of Lingnan.” Conghua also has many cultural and tourism attractions. Known as the “No. 1 Spring of Lingnan,” the Conghua Hot Springs are world-famous for their rare small amounts of baking soda and radon elements. The Liuxi River National Forest Park within its territory is known as the “Second Lushan Mountain.” The Guangzhou Pumped Storage Power Station Tourist Resort has been rated as a national 3A-level key scenic spot. Scenic spots such as Shimen National Forest Park, Liuxi Hot Spring Resort, Tianhu Waterfall, Xianmu Garden, Sanyatang Valley Adventure, and Qiangang Ancient Village attract more and more domestic and international tourists for leisure and vacation.
