Don't worry, I have personally walked 25,000 steps, covering every corner, and carefully compiled a comprehensive Enshi Grand Canyon travel guide to help you avoid all potential "traps" and fully enjoy the beauty of the canyon. Grab it now to safeguard your next trip! Transportation hub💨: From the center of Enshi city, it only takes about two hours by car to reach the fairyland on earth—Enshi Grand Canyon. 🎟️ Ticket information: An adult all-inclusive ticket is only 345 yuan, which includes tickets to the Qixingzhai scenic area, Yunlong Difeng scenic area, round-trip tickets for the ground cable car, shuttle bus tickets within the scenic area, uphill cableway tickets, Qixingzhai escalator tickets, and the vertical sightseeing elevator tickets for Difeng, offering a one-stop experience that's incredibly cost-effective! ⏰ Opening hours and visit recommendations: The scenic area is open daily from 8:00 to 16:00. It is strongly recommended to arrive as early as possible, especially if you want to witness the dreamy rainbow waterfall🌈 at Yunlong Difeng in the morning when the light is most ideal. 🎯 Recommended tour route: 1. Visitor Center - Ground Cable Car - Entrance to Yunlong Difeng - Tour Yunlong Difeng Scenic Area - Vertical Sightseeing Elevator to Yunlong Difeng Exit (Cableway Plaza) - Transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus to the Qixingzhai walking entrance - Tour Qixingzhai Scenic Area - Downhill Escalator - Return to Visitor Center - Take the shuttle bus back to Cableway Plaza - Ground Cable Car - Visitor Center. ❗️ Important notes: Remember! Although you can choose to climb on foot during the ascent, considering the height of 1700 meters from the valley bottom to the highest point, along with the subsequent cliff plank road, it is strongly advised to take the cable car🚡 up the mountain, otherwise, you may regret it for life. 🌍 Scenic spot highlights: After reaching the mountaintop, follow the signs, and you will encounter in succession the One-Line Sky, Cliff Corridor, Auspicious Cloud Torch, Welcoming Pine, and the iconic landmark Incense Stick, enjoying the magnificent panorama of the towering stone forest, like reading a living geological textbook. Descending the gentle slope, after touring the Lovers' Peak, the last challenge of the descent awaits you—9 sections of escalators. At this point, even after trekking nearly 15 kilometers, considering the huge physical exertion, especially for the elderly👨🦳 and children👶, it is recommended to take the escalator down the mountain. Personal experience tells me that after this trip, your legs will inevitably feel muscle soreness. ⭕️After descending the mountain, take the scenic area shuttle bus back to the Visitor Center, thus perfectly completing the magical journey of Enshi Grand Canyon. 🍲 Food supply: Due to the complex terrain of the canyon, it is advisable to travel light and carry a moderate amount of drinking water🥛 and energy snacks🍞. If you prefer not to carry them, there are shops on the mountain that sell basic supplies and also offer authentic Enshi snacks, although the prices are slightly higher because all goods are carried up the mountain by manpower. The choice depends on personal preference and needs. 💡 Practical tips: - Wear light and comfortable shoes with good anti-slip properties👟 to reduce the burden and travel easily. - If you have insufficient physical strength, prepare a walking stick🪄 in advance to assist walking and save energy. - Replenish your strength fully to maintain ample energy for the uphill journey. - Pay attention to the weather forecast☀️ and choose a clear day for your outing to showcase the grandeur of the canyon to the fullest. The must-visit Enshi Grand Canyon in this lifetime, follow my steps, and easily read all the wonders of the world, making every step a splendid footnote in life. Experience with heart, enjoy the awe-inspiring beauty bestowed by nature, and let your trip to Enshi Grand Canyon become an unforgettable adventure in your life!
