Originally a backup plan, we went to Wudieshui instead because Longjinxi in the Three Gorges Family Scenic Area was closed, and it turned out to be the right choice. It was great with the kids; there was a shuttle bus in and out, a magic carpet ride up the mountain, and a slide down, so the whole trip wasn't too tiring. There were waterfalls, a glass bridge, and a "sky mirror" for taking beautiful photos (an extra fee of 10 yuan per person). When we got tired, we could rest at the Cloud Cafe to recharge; the snacks and drinks were delicious and inexpensive. We entered the scenic area around 3 pm, and there were very few tourists, making for a great experience. We also went rafting at the end; the rafting point is outside the Wudieshui scenic area and is where the staff stay, so it's perfectly fine to go later. The shuttle bus costs 15 yuan per person one way. Overall, it was more fun than purely sightseeing-based attractions, with more activities and better suited for children.
