Forget about the Ice and Snow World, here's a seriously underrated place to take your kids
This winter vacation, I plan to take my kids to one place only, and that is Wulan Butong!
Once a royal hunting ground, it has now become a "snowy Disney" for families with kids aged 4 and above. The vast grasslands are covered with thick snow, and snowfields, rime, and snow mushrooms can be seen everywhere. Cute snow elves, alpacas, and deer stroll leisurely, as if you have entered Elsa's ice and snow world. You can also play in the snow in various ways, experience the thrill of snow tubing and snow banana boats, and kids from the south who have never seen snow will go crazy!
Flights from Guangzhou and Shenzhen to Wulan Butong are 60% off during New Year's Day, winter vacation, and Spring Festival. Flights from Shanghai and Hangzhou are even as low as 20%–30% off, making it a great value. Moms taking their kids can rest assured!
🌟Best time to visit: December to mid-February
✈︎Transportation: Fly or take a high-speed train to Beijing, with many flights available, and direct flights from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and other cities
