    September brings a respite from the crowds, replaced by cool mountain breezes, billowing clouds, and a tranquil peace just for you! Enshi Grand Canyon awaits you in its most poetic form. Here, there is no hustle and bustle, only breathtaking scenery; no haste, only a peaceful state of mind.

    Lianhuazhai Square is the core tourist area of ​​the Suobuya Stone Forest Scenic Area. Most tour groups only visit the two sub-attractions within Lianhuazhai before stopping. Unlike independent travelers, who have more time to explore Qinglongzhai at the innermost part of the scenic area and Jiulongtan (near the visitor center) together, Lianhuazhai offers a different experience. The most photogenic spot in Lianhuazhai is undoubtedly Rhinoceros Gully, which is truly picturesque. Taking photos during the off-season when there are fewer crowds will undoubtedly result in even better photos.

    A Dry Tour of Enshi Tusi City – Nine-Story Hall: Feel the Pulse of the "Tujia Palace"! ☆ Nine-Story Hall, a cluster of Tujia stilted buildings, has nine stories ("nine" being the extreme number, symbolizing the authority of the Tusi). It is the largest Tusi royal palace complex in the country, and the craftsmanship of its 333 wooden pillars joined without nails is a marvel. Walking through the Tulou cluster, sunlight streams through the carved wooden windows, casting dappled shadows on the bluestone slabs; from the top observation deck, overlooking the entire city's autumn colors, the red maples and black tiles complement each other, like a richly colored oil painting.

    The boat trip to Daqingjiao is highly recommended; the five-hour journey offers beautiful, picturesque riverside scenery. The weather was great the day we went, and since it was off-season, it wasn't crowded. You can order food or bring your own.

    I went to Pingshan Grand Canyon that day, but I couldn't buy a ticket. It was very popular. When I arrived at Luyuanping, I found that it was really an underestimated market paradise. The people were very simple. It has not been overdeveloped and still retains some of the atmosphere of the original village. I will definitely come again.

    Although the play time is not very long, we came out in a little over an hour. The scenery in the cave is good, but the temperature inside the cave is lower than outside, and there will be dripping water, so you should be careful when dressing. The projection in the cave is based on time periods, so if you want to watch it, pay attention to the time. There is no toilet in the cave, so please clean up the inventory before entering. It is a pity that although there is a voice reminder that smoking is prohibited, there are still uncivilized phenomena such as smoking and even throwing cigarette butts.

    A Travelogue of Enshi Daughter City: Encountering a Poetic Scroll of Tujia Elegance Upon first encountering Enshi Daughter City, one feels as if stepping into a richly colored scroll painting of Tujia culture. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the distinctive ethnic architectural complex is arranged in a harmonious and orderly fashion. The upturned eaves, carved doors and windows reveal the craftsmanship and romance of the Tujia people. Entering Daughter City, one is immediately drawn to the unique architecture of "Tusi Yupin" (Tusi Imperial Products). The orange-yellow walls paired with traditional wooden decorations seem to tell the long history of Tusi culture. In the nearby shops, modern brands such as "Bawang Chaji" (Overlord Tea Girl) and "Cai Lin Ji" (Cai Lin's Shop) blend seamlessly with Tujia style, creating a unique and vibrant atmosphere. Walking to the Ming Dynasty History Theater in Enshi's landscape, the building's exterior combines modern and traditional elements. The glass curtain wall reflects the blue sky, adorned with Tujia elements. Imagining the Tujia stories that have been performed here, one feels as if traveling through time to experience those moving legends. The most breathtaking sight is undoubtedly the core square of Daughter City, a Tujia-style pavilion that is a true work of art. The multi-story wooden building is intricately carved and painted, every detail exquisitely crafted. The blue-green roof gleams in the sunlight, and the towers on either side are even more imposing. The square is bustling with people, some strolling and admiring the scenery, others stopping to take photos; the atmosphere is lively yet not noisy, showcasing the vitality and charm of the scenic area. After a long walk, stepping into the "Ba Ren Tang" (Baren Hall) instantly captivates you. Traditional wooden partitions and antique furnishings exude a rustic elegance. The most stunning feature is the central courtyard, where countless red "smashing bowl wine" lanterns hang, their golden characters contrasting beautifully with the fairy patterns on the red silk, creating a rich atmosphere of Tujia wine culture. Large murals on the walls depict scenes of Tujia life, the figures vivid, the landscapes dynamic, as if telling ancient stories. Dining here, savoring Tujia specialties, and listening to Tujia folk songs, one's mind and body are completely immersed in this unique atmosphere. Enshi Daughter City is not only a scenic spot, but also a vivid embodiment of Tujia culture. Here, every step is a scene, and every glance is a cultural experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the poetic beauty of Tujia customs amidst the blend of modernity and tradition.
