Hubei Enshi Suobuya Stone Forest | Nature's handiwork.

🌈 Suobuya Stone Forest is one of the three geological wonders featured in CCTV's "Geography China" program. It is also the filming location of Hunan TV's "A Journey with Children". The formation of Suobuya Stone Forest is similar to that of Enshi Grand Canyon and Tenglong Cave. They are all karst landforms developed in the Qingjiang River basin. After complex geological movements, the mysterious dragon scale stones, ancient stone chimes, and 400 million-year-old beast fossils were formed, becoming geological wonders that CCTV's "Geography China" and archaeological experts have focused on. 💗 Opening hours: 8:00-18:00 (opening hours are not affected by heavy rain) 💗 Location: Suobuya Scenic Area, Taiyanghe Township, Enshi City 💗 Transportation: About 1 hour by car from Enshi City or by bus from Enshi Passenger Transport Station (CNY25 per person) 💗 Tickets: We have a Hubei annual pass, see the previous article for a guide! There are also online packages, tickets CNY78 + scenic area transfer CNY30 💗 Accommodation: Stay in Enshi City, which is very convenient to travel back and forth ⚠️ There are two routes in the guide, divided into easy or advanced: The scenic area includes Qinglongtai, Lianhuazhai (including Xiniu Ditch), Mozigou, and Jiulong Hui 1. Easy: Lianhuazhai (ancient fossils on the rocks, impressive!) - Xiniu Ditch (the main check-in point) - Mozigou - Shan Hai Jing (free with Hubei Hui Min Card, 5D light show, recommended for children). This route is a must-go: This is where you must drive the 318 in your lifetime, a whole new world, takes 3-4 hours in total 2. Advanced: Qinglongtai - Lianhuazhai - Xiniu Ditch - Mozigou - Shan Hai Jing - Jiulong Hui (Qinglongtai, 1.4 km in total, about 1 hour to visit, the scenery is relatively average, not as special as the previous few scenic areas, those with average physical strength or limited time can skip it, there are fewer people going) 🍃 Tips: · With the elderly and children, the first route is enough! After visiting this attraction, go to Tusi City in the afternoon, a whole day is very ample · Remember to wear comfortable shoes, as the scenic area is mostly mountain roads and requires walking · There are farmhouses and snacks nearby, which I personally feel are average. You can bring some snacks · It's very photogenic, feels like a jungle adventure, worth a visit · The latest bus back to Enshi is at 17:30, don't miss it · Children remember to do sun protection and bring mosquito repellent! There are a lot of mosquitoes
