Baizhangji in autumn has a unique charm! As China’s tallest waterfall, it has a moderate water flow with less mist, and the mountains are dotted with red leaves. Take your kids hiking to enjoy the waterfall and feel the autumn coolness. Fewer crowds and beautiful scenery—here’s a comprehensive guide, save it now～ - 📍 Address: Baizhangji, Wencheng County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province (Liu Bowen’s Hometown Scenic Area) - 🎫 Tickets and Transportation Ticket: 55 RMB/person + Shuttle bus 20 RMB/person (must buy inside the scenic area to save kids’ walking energy) 🚄 High-speed rail: Main arrival station is Wenzhou South Station 🚗 Transportation: Self-driving, taxi/ride-sharing, or bus are all options. It’s recommended to arrive at Wenzhou South Station in the afternoon, then take a taxi or rent a car to Baizhangji Town, about a 1-hour drive, and visit early the next morning. - 🏡 Accommodation Recommendations Homestays in Baizhangji Town cost about 100 RMB per person. Though the environment is simple, they are only 1.5 km from the scenic area, reachable by walking or a short drive, convenient for early starts with kids to avoid crowds. - ⏰ Family Visit Time Baizhangji Scenic Area (South Gate) opens at 8:30 AM. It’s recommended to arrive around 8:00 AM at the entrance. Autumn visitors are fewer than in summer, so you can enter easily and enjoy the waterfall off-peak. - 🚌 Scenic Area Transportation and Routes The South Gate is at the mountaintop; you need to take the 20 RMB shuttle bus down to the mountain base, then hike up, which suits family energy distribution. ▶️ Regular route: Start from the mountain base and visit the Third Waterfall, Second Waterfall, and First Waterfall in order. The autumn mountain air is fresh, accompanied by red leaves, making it fun for kids of all ages. ▶️ In-depth route: If your kids have good stamina, you can stay longer at the First Waterfall to enjoy the waterfall’s light and shadow under autumn sunlight, then visit the Second and Third Waterfalls on the way down, observing the autumn vegetation changes with your kids. - 💡 Family Trip Tips 1. Clothing: The temperature difference is large in the mountains during autumn mornings and evenings. Dress kids in light jackets and non-slip sports shoes. The paths near the waterfall still have some moisture, so watch out for slipping. 2. Items to bring: Bring drinking water and energy snacks for kids, as there are few sales points inside the scenic area; carry wet wipes and tissues for cleaning; a small binocular can help kids observe waterfall details more clearly. 3. Safety tips: Always hold your kids’ hands on viewing platforms and keep them away from railings; the hiking steps are gentle, but fallen leaves in autumn require reminding kids to watch their steps. 4. Autumn features: The waterfall has moderate water flow in autumn, still majestic, with less mist making photos clearer; red and yellow leaves in the mountains complement the waterfall, creating strong scenic layers. 5. Parent-child interaction: Observe the waterfall’s water flow with your kids and briefly explain how waterfalls form; look for autumn wild fruits and fallen leaves in the mountains to have a little nature class. - 【Accommodation Guide】 Besides town homestays, we recommend Wencheng Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel, with a wild luxury style and complete family facilities. It’s reasonably close to the scenic area by car, with comfortable rooms for the whole family to rest well.
