Travel through the mountains and rivers of Enshi and encounter a romantic human adventure

✅✅Recommended attractions • Enshi Grand Canyon: A national 5A-level tourist attraction, it is known as the most beautiful scar on the earth at 30° north latitude. It has hundreds of miles of cliffs, thousands of feet of waterfalls, primeval forests and other landscapes. Among them, the Yunlong fissure has a group of waterfalls and rainbow rock walls. "One Stick of Incense" is a "National Geographic China" certified wonder. • Enshi Tusi City: The largest and most complete existing Tujia ancient building complex in my country, with magnificent royal city buildings and complete city walls, where you can appreciate the rich Tujia culture. • Suobuya Stone Forest: One of the oldest Ordovician stone forests in the world, it is famous for its karst landforms of various shapes, shaded by green trees, lush vegetation, and towering stone peaks, making it seem like you are in an underwater maze. • Xuan’en Lion Pass: It is named after the mountain shape that resembles a lion. The floating bridge here is a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities. You can drive to experience it, and there are also the mysterious Lion Cave Hanging Coffins. • Enshi Earth's Core Valley: It has the reputation of "the first ancient man, the first ancient river in China, the first ancient road in Bachu, and the most beautiful place in Shinan". The canyon is lined with green peaks and the streams are clear and blue. You can also experience kayaking through the underground river in the center of the earth. 🍽️🛍️Food recommendations • Zhangguan Hezha: The name card of Enshi cuisine, Hezha hotpot is its representative dish. It uses soybeans as the main ingredient and is cooked with vegetables. The soup is rich and nutritious. • Enshi baked potatoes: Boil the potatoes and bake them until the surface is golden brown, with a crispy skin and soft and glutinous inside. Sprinkle with chili powder, chopped green onions and other seasonings according to personal taste. • Xuan’en Grilled Live Fish: We use fresh live fish, which are grilled to make the skin crispy and fragrant, and the fish meat tender, paired with a variety of seasonings and side dishes, spicy and delicious. • Cured meat hotpot: A Tujia specialty. Cured meat is pickled and smoked, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry. Cooked with vegetables into hotpot, it has a fragrant aroma. • Oil tea soup: It is made by frying tea leaves, walnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds and other ingredients, then boiling them with water, and then adding fried rice. It has a rich taste and a strong Tujia flavor. 🏠Accommodation suggestions • Enshi City: There are various accommodation options, and transportation, shopping, and dining are very convenient. We recommend the Movenpick International Hotel Enshi and the Jiuzhou International Hotel Enshi. • Around scenic spots: For example, near the Enshi Grand Canyon, it is convenient to visit scenic spots. You can choose characteristic homestays, such as the Grand Canyon Nv'erzhai Resort Hotel, where you can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery. Trip Planning • Four days and three nights: On the first day, you can arrive in Enshi city, visit Tusi City, and go to Daughter City in the evening to experience folk performances and food. The next day we visited Enshi Grand Canyon. On the third day, we went to Qingjiang Butterfly Cliff and went to Suobuya Stone Forest in the afternoon. Day 4: Visit the Earth's Core Valley. • Five days and four nights: Based on the four days and three nights, one day is added to visit Xuanen Lion Pass to experience the floating bridge and enjoy the Gongshui River Music Fountain and the night view of Moda Tower in Xuanen County at night.
