Where is the best place for family travel in winter?

The weather is always so cold in winter. Many people want to take advantage of the holidays to travel, but they have children at home and don’t know where to go. In fact, it is not difficult to take children out to play, so next, the editor will recommend some parent-child travel destinations to combat.

Island level

1. Sanya

Reason for recommendation: Mothers of babies under 1 year old ask me to recommend a destination, and Sanya has always been my first choice. Because Sanya is located in the tropics, it is summer all year round, so it is suitable for traveling at any time. It definitely has the most beautiful waters and beaches in China. Because of its early development, the hotel industry is very complete. From Yalong Bay, Dadonghai, Sanya Bay to Haitang Bay, there are countless hotels suitable for families with babies.

What to play:

Beach: What else can be done in Sanya? Of course, the first choice is the sea and the beach! Although Sanya has many scenic spots, such as Tianya Haijiao, it is really not suitable for bringing babies. Even if you don’t do anything, staying in the hotel for five or six days, facing the sea every day, with spring flowers blooming, is still a very happy thing!

Primitive forest: Due to the tropical monsoon climate, Sanya has the most complete virgin forest vegetation coverage. For slightly older children, going on a jungle adventure with their parents and enjoying the natural oxygen bar is another wonderful experience besides the beach. Yanoda Forest in Sanya and Wuzhishan Scenic Area in central Hainan are both very good choices!

Age: Babies over 6 months old can sit alone.

2. Phuket Island

Reason for recommendation: The second recommendation is Phuket Island, because it is a relatively mature tropical island in Southeast Asia. Thailand itself is economically underdeveloped, so prices are relatively low. Almost all Chinese people used to be very wealthy. Because many international brands are produced in Thailand, you can buy discounted products from many factories and stores while soaking in sea water and swimming pools.

What to do: Tropical beaches: The sea and beaches in Phuket are much better than those in Sanya. There are many choices of high-star hotels, and the services are more humane than those in Sanya. Phuket is a relatively large island with many beaches to choose from. There are bustling urban beaches like Patong, as well as quiet paradises like Karon and Bangtao.

Age: Because the flight time is not short, it is recommended to be over 1 year old.

3. Bali

Reason for recommendation: Bali’s hotels, beaches, and spas are definitely the three trump cards! If you take your baby to Bali, you don’t have to think about anything. You won't get bored playing in the hotel every day. Bali has many famous beaches, but it is highly recommended that you stay at Nusa Dua Beach where there are many five-star hotels. Choose one with your eyes closed and you won’t be disappointed. The service staff at the hotel are super nice and very attentive to babies.

What to do:

Humanity: Unlike the building-by-building meetings in Europe, Bali’s humanity is reflected in every detail. Whether you are choosing ethnic clothes and souvenirs for your baby in the ethnic shops in Kuta, or feeling the comfort of living in a villa between terraces and jungle in Ubud, you can feel that there is no news and no shoes in Bali. Comfortable.

Tropical beaches: Bali’s beaches have strong tropical characteristics. Choose a beach and a hotel, then stay in the hotel with your baby. Whether playing on the beach, riding waves, or swimming in the pool, your baby will be too excited to sleep. At least it was warm.

Age: A little further than Phuket, it is recommended to be at least 1 year old.

Amusement Park

4. Hong Kong

Highlights: Disney alone can make Hong Kong a paradise for thousands of children. Hong Kong is a small place with well-developed ground and underground transportation, so you don’t have to worry about traveling with children. Moreover, Hong Kong is China’s duty-free shopping paradise. Here you can buy yourself cheap and authentic cosmetics and luxury goods, and you can also buy many baby products that are cheaper than or not available in the mainland!

What to play:

Disneyland: Before Shanghai Disney opened, Hong Kong Disneyland was definitely the most convenient place to go! I have taken Nuannuan to Disney, Universal Studios, Chimelong, Happy Valley and other theme parks. Disney is definitely the conscience of the world. Whether it's the setup of the play equipment for babies under 3 years old or the level of care taken by all the staff, it gives a wonderful feeling. I have been to Nuannuan 5 or 6 times, and I still feel unsatisfied every time I come back.

Ocean Park: To be fair, many of the rides in Ocean Park Hong Kong are not suitable for babies under 3 years old, and are basically designed for older children. But the aquarium and the various animal performances inside are still worth looking forward to! Noah's Ark Theme Park: This is a newly opened theme park in Hong Kong. It is located near Tsing Ma Bridge on Lantau Island and has the theme of Noah's Ark. The area is not large, suitable for older children or babies to take pictures. You can participate in educational and entertaining activities in the Ark, or you can go to the quaint Mawan Village to remember the fishing village of the past.

Age: Nuannuan was one and a half years old when she went there for the first time, and she already likes Disney. However, it is still recommended for ages 2 and above.

5. Guangzhou

Highlights: As one of the largest transportation hubs in the south, Guangzhou has very convenient transportation. In addition, as a first-tier city in the south, it has a relatively high level of development and prices are cheaper than the other three first-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Third, transportation is convenient. Whether it’s taking a taxi or taking the subway, it’s very convenient in Guangzhou! Fourth, Guangzhou has a subtropical climate with high green vegetation coverage and good climate, making it suitable for traveling with babies.

What to do:

Theme: The biggest purpose of going to Guangzhou must be Chimelong! Nuannuan has been to zoos and theme parks in more than a dozen cities in China, as well as wildlife parks in Singapore, Bali and other countries. Chimelong will definitely kill them all! I also recommended Chimelong Xiangjiang Wildlife Park, which was more than 5 times warm-up!

Aquarium: Guangzhou Aquarium is in Guangzhou Zoo. Because in cities that are not close to the sea, the aquarium in Guangzhou may not be as famous as the Ocean Kingdom in Zhuhai. However, it is the largest inland aquarium in the world, housing more than 200 species of fish and other unique and rare marine life. It is definitely a good choice for babies who want to visit a safari park, theme park, and sea world in one city at the same time!

Age: 1 year old or above!

6. Zhuhai

Highlights: Zhuhai is a highly developed city in southern China because of its proximity to Macau. Because it is close to the seaside, the transportation and climate are very comfortable! Nuannuan and I have been to Zhuhai twice. My dad and I both spoke very well of this city! After visiting Zhuhai, it’s also good to go to Macau for a stroll!

What to play:

Chimelong Ocean Park: This is the second theme park gathering place of Chimelong Group after Guangzhou. In addition to numerous amusement facilities, the First Ocean Kingdom also has more exciting exhibition halls and performances. Among them, the whale shark pavilion has the largest glass curtain wall in the world. The beluga whales blowing bubbles in the beluga whale pavilion are simply overwhelming!

Suitable age: 2 years old and above.

7. Singapore

Highlights: Singapore is a famous baby-friendly country in Asia. The personal qualities of Singaporeans are very high, and the entire country is particularly suitable for traveling with babies, regardless of its cultural environment or geographical environment. On the other hand, Singapore is located near the equator and has a tropical maritime climate. The comfortable climate makes it a destination for families with babies and children in any season.

What to do:

Zoo: Singapore’s tropical climate makes it a paradise for animals. Although its land area is small, it has four major theme zoos: the National Wildlife Park, Night Safari, River Ecological Park, and Jurong Bird Park.

Sentosa: I have to say that Sentosa Island is really Singapore’s entertainment paradise. There are many playgrounds that babies like, such as Universal Studios, S.E.A Aquarium and Water World, as well as several hotels that are famous for their vacations. The light rail transportation on the island is also free. You can achieve a "one-stop" travel experience without taking the bus here.

Age: I went there when I was 11 and a half years old. Both the zoo and the aquarium were okay. If you want to have fun at Universal Studios and Water World at the same time, it is recommended to be after 3 years old.

Nature

8. Xishuangbanna

Reason for recommendation: Many mothers know Chiang Mai recommended above, but Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China also has beautiful tropical rainforests, but there are many Mom was not included in the plan. The annual average temperature in Xishuangbanna is above 25 degrees, making it very suitable for tourism. Moreover, many original tropical rainforests are preserved, and the relationship between animals, plants and people is very friendly. It is a good opportunity for babies to get close to nature.

What to do:

Wild Elephant Valley: Xishuangbanna has always been short of elephants. Wild Elephant Valley is one of the few places in China where you can get close to elephants and other animals. In addition to feeding the elephants, you can also ride an elephant and touch a python, which is really a good experience for children.

Botanical Garden: Although there is a botanical garden in Beijing, the Tropical Botanical Garden in Xishuangbanna still has a different experience. The natural tropical vegetation is so dense that it is jaw-dropping for those of us who seem to come from the "cold zone". The giant water lily can lie down and give birth to a baby! If you are lucky, you may even see fireflies!

Age: Recommended for ages 3 and above.
