🚶‍♀️Family-friendly hiking guide

🌟After getting off at the shuttle bus terminal, walk left along the lakeshore, bypass the small Yadan formations, and you’ll reach the Eye of Yadan. The entire route is flat with few slopes, suitable for children aged 5 and up. On the way back, you can take photos along the way to help ease the kids’ fatigue.

⚠️Be sure to avoid the off-road vehicle path (otherwise you’ll walk an extra 2 kilometers!). Water Yadan is at a relatively high altitude, so it’s recommended to give kids supplements like squalene before setting out to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
