Everyone has a different Enshi in their heart! For thrill-seekers, it's the Enshi Grand Canyon, known as the 'Oriental Colorado'; for foodies, it's the dream of Enshi's small potatoes🥔 and Tujia oil tea soup; for artistic souls, it's the experience of the ethnic minority's folk life... As the only ethnic minority autonomous prefecture in Hubei Province, Enshi is bordered by Jingchu to the east, Xiaoxiang to the south, Chongqing and Guizhou to the west, and Shennongjia to the north. Numerous mysterious and ancient legends originate from here. How to immerse yourself in Enshi, here's a guide: ♥️ Enshi Grand Canyon —— Home to the 'World Geological Wonder and Oriental Colorado,' the Enshi Grand Canyon is the only place in the world where 'earth fissures - sinkholes - rock pillar groups' coexist as a complex karst landform. The five geological wonders of Qingjiang rising to white clouds, sheer cliffs surrounding peaks, sky bridges connecting caves, dark rivers joining waterfalls, and sinkholes paired with earth fissures are all breathtaking. Nowadays, it's easy to play in the Enshi Grand Canyon with the ground cable car and the canyon ropeway, especially the canyon ropeway, which is 2266 meters long with a vertical drop of 792 meters between the upper and lower stations, offering a bird's-eye view of the ten-thousand-meter cliff gallery, waterfalls, peaks, and deep gorges, saving time and effort for a trip with parents, allowing you to fully enjoy the scenery. ♥️ Enshi Qingjiang —— Qingjiang is the mother river of the Enshi people, and it is also the river that the 'sister' in one of the 'World Folk Songs,' 'Dragon Boat Tune,' wants to cross. It is not only full of stories but also has a high 'face value'! Overlooking it is like a blue ribbon, flowing clearly for eight hundred li. Qingjiang has three wonders (mountain road, Butterfly Cliff, Shuibuzhi), three gorges (Qianpu Gorge, Butterfly Gorge, Bawang Gorge), three resemblances (Jingyang Bridge, Reclining Buddha, Linjun Mountain), and three legends (Linjun Salt Pool Goddess story, Picking Up Son story, Duan Gong story); you can take a cruise on the Enshi Qingjiang, with both antique boats and large cruise ships available for choice. ⛵️Currently, the main boarding points are Hunshui River Wharf Visitor Center and Shuibuya Wharf Visitor Center. ♥️ Honghua Gorge Forest Peak Scenic Area —— Located on the south bank of Qingjiang, it is one of the best observation points for Qingjiang's multi-level terraces. Taking the 'cross-river cableway,' you can look up at Hongyan Mouth and Honghua Stone Forest, overlook the Qingjiang River Valley, and also go ashore for a tour, immersing yourself in the beauty of Enshi. ♥️ Pingba Camp —— With the largest primeval forest in western Hubei, this area is full of winding mountains, composed of elements such as ancient, strange, beautiful, quiet, and wild, creating a naturally pristine atmosphere. Taking Asia's largest V-shaped aerial cableway - Jigongshan Cableway, you can glide through the lush ancient forest, experiencing the feeling of 'sliding on treetops.' Another core scenic area of Pingba Camp - Sidong Gorge, is a very rare tunnel cluster landscape, which also contains the mysterious and ancient history and culture of the Tujia people, hence Sidong Gorge is also known as the 'Tujia Holy Land'. 🏠 Accommodation recommendation: Pingba Camp's special forest treehouse, the country's first forest-style all-wood villa hotel. Drawing on the principle of the Tujia stilted building, each villa is built in succession against the ancient trees, with the villas weaving above the ancient trees, living in the treetops, and enjoying the freshness after the rain in the empty mountains. 🍜 Food recommendation: Tujia oil tea soup, Zhangguanhezha, Tujia cured meat, Baiyang dried tofu, Shefan, Zhangguangjiao, Gexian rice, Fengtou ginger, Fubao mountain cress, and New Year meat.

When traveling to Enshi, you must check in at the Pingba Camp National Forest Park in Xianfeng County. As a national 4A-level tourist attraction, it has beautiful scenery, a quiet environment, a forest coverage rate of 96%, and the highest annual temperature is only 22℃. It is known as the 'Western Hubei Forest Sea' and 'Natural Oxygen Bar'. The scenic area has currently opened two attractions: the primeval forest landscape at 30 degrees north latitude - Jigong Mountain, and the rare geological wonder in the world - Sidongxia. Jigong Mountain mainly highlights the original ecological features. Walking in the primeval forest, you can see huge ancient trees, sturdy vines, and fallen deadwood and moss scattered around for thousands of years... It's like a beautiful and mysterious natural painting. Tourists can also take the longest 'V'-shaped cable car in Asia - Jigong Mountain Cable Car, travel through the forest in the air, appreciate the forest sea and undulating peaks of the mountains, and feel the unique scenery of 30 degrees north latitude. The Sidongxia scenic area, which was formed about 140 million years ago, is a very rare cave community landscape and a rare geological structure landscape in the world. A canyon in the scenic area passes through the mountains of four mountains, forming four caves of different sizes and shapes, not only conveying the magic of natural creation, but also containing the mysterious and ancient history and culture of the Tujia, so it has been called the 'Tujia Holy Land' since ancient times. Walking through it, the scattered moss, the cool and delicious mountain spring water, the interlaced light and dark karst caves, the winding paths in the forest, everywhere reflect harmony, beauty and magic. 'A wonder in ten thousand hectares of forest, four big caves are closely connected', is a poem written by tourists after visiting the Pingba Camp National Forest Park, vividly depicting the beautiful scenery of the 'Sidongxia' scenic area. In addition, there is a glass plank road in the Sidongxia scenic area that is 88 meters long and has a drop of 300 meters from the bottom of the valley. The entire plank road is built along the cliff, with a bottomless cliff under your feet and a towering cliff above your head. Walking on the plank road, you can not only experience the thrilling excitement of standing in the air, but also watch the clouds rolling in the valley, as if walking in a dreamy fairyland.

The Tusi city of Tangya began to be built in the early Ming Dynasty. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, it witnessed the whole process of the Tusi system from its heyday to its demise, and is a gem of the Tujia ethnic group's historical culture. In the 1980s, a chance archaeological survey unveiled the mysterious veil of the Tusi city of Tangya. Through meticulous excavation and in-depth research of the site, experts revealed its profound historical background, and in 2015, they helped it successfully be listed on the World Cultural Heritage List, making the Tusi city of Tangya shine brilliantly again. The current site of the Tusi city of Tangya has been well protected and managed. The city walls, the site of the yamen, the group of tombs, and the majestic stone archway still stand tall, showing the world the appearance of the former Tusi dynasty. The slogan 'Jingnan Stronghold' engraved on the archway is majestic, demonstrating the authority and glory of the Tusi era, and also implies the important historical position of the Tusi city of Tangya in maintaining border stability and promoting ethnic integration.

What to do in Enshi when it rains! What about when it rains! This is simply a fairyland! Sunny days have their beauty, rainy days have their joy. During the National Day, it was raining in Enshi all the time. I originally wanted to go to the Enshi Grand Canyon, but I didn't go because of the bad weather.

The Golden Cave, known as the Black Hole, is located 60 kilometers from the provincial road between the 318 and 209 national highways. According to Chinese and foreign cave experts, the cave was formed before the Jurassic period and has been 150 million years old. The hole is embedded in the Millennium, which is mysterious. The giant waterfall flew down from the mouth of the cave, and the sunshine was red; the Tangyan River, which was injected into the Yangtze River via the Wujiang River, passed through the lower layer of the cave and passed through. The Golden Cave Scenic Area is the world's largest gunpowder workshop, and it is also the place where the ancient toast collectors were soldiers. In the huge cave, I dont know how many secrets are hidden here. Because it is far away, there are very few tourists, and tourists who don't like the lively can choose this place as a destination, which will definitely bring a different experience. Golden Hole has the longest hole in the world for sightseeing bridges. The last section of the golden hole feels like a labyrinth, but there are signs in the hole.
