Xianshan Gongshui
Enshi City, the capital of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hubei Province, is the political, economic, cultural center and transportation hub. Without going to Hubei Enshi, one would not know there is a little-known small town called Xuanen. The Gongshui River, the first major tributary of the eight hundred li Qingjiang River, runs through the town. The city is on the water, people are in the painting, the city itself is a landscape, and the landscape is the city. The picturesque geographical landscape and the ingenious cultural tourism activities attract tourists from all over the country to check in.
From Enshi to Xuanen is more than forty kilometers, there are buses at Enshi Bus Station, about an eighty-minute journey, with convenient transportation. Wenlan Bridge

This place is known as the 'Hubei version of the small Hongya Cave', a poetic and picturesque secret realm. This is Xuanen, the small county hidden around Enshi.
On the banks of the Gongshui River, take a leisurely stroll in the gentle evening breeze; on the Wenlan Bridge, groups of people chat and laugh; the food street is full of famous snacks from all over the place; Xinglong Old Street still exudes the charm of its thousand-year-old intangible cultural heritage.

Xuanen, a place you want to visit again after your first trip!
The first time I came to Xuanen was because of the 'water floating bridge'.
After visiting, you will find the surprises and happiness this small city brings.
This time I took the elderly from my family to Xuanen, and everyone was very satisfied with the accommodation, entertainment, and food.
The night view of Xuanen is really beautiful! There's Moda Tower, Longyou Gongshui, and also fountains~ It is also the only county-level city that is a 4A tourist attraction, the urban construction is well in place, and the locals are very enthusiastic and civilized. Welcome everyone to visit~
