    "If you are not driving by yourself, it is recommended to report a group. There are meeting points at multiple points in Luoyang City. If you count the ticket cable car traffic, in fact, the group is more cost-effective. Some scenic spots are worth a visit. The first cable car is a must. This money can't save the second journey. You can't sit on the second journey. Good physical strength. I have walked around and saw more scenery. The trekking poles are bought on the mountain. When the tour guide goes to the entrance of the scenic spot to change tickets, there will be people selling various items on the car. The trekking pole is 30 yuan. The first cable car is 5 yuan. After the first cable car is down, there may be a difference in 5 yuan. But there is really no need to do wrong. The money for buying a set of hiking items in the big head car is not as good as taking the cable car escalator throughout the whole journey. The price of things in the scenic area is definitely more expensive than the outside, but it is acceptable (5 yuan of mineral water, 12 instant noodles, 20 pieces of noodles at this level) I took the first cable car up and down. Everything else was about 5 hours after walking to the top of the mountain. The scenic spot is worth a visit without excessive force."

    "Overall evaluation: Qixingzhai attractions are very amazing, the ground seam view is very good, and it feels normal to see the waterfall in the attraction. There is no way to go directly to the ticket office of the scenic spot by car. It takes a long way to go to the ticket office to play. Suggestion: first go to Qixingzhai and then go to the ground seam to see the small waterfall."
    Enshi City.Enshi Grand Canyon/Luyuanping
    >100km from Xingshan
    Highlights: Enshi Grand Canyon National 5A Scenic Area and National Geopark is a world-renowned "natural museum" of composite karst landforms with "ground fissures, cenotes and rock pillars" coexisting at the same time.

A stick of incense is a landmark of the Enshi Grand Canyon and a very rare landscape among similar karst landforms. A stick of incense is 150 meters high, with a diameter of 6 meters at the bottom and a minimum diameter of only 4 meters. Its rock type is Triassic limestone. Because the strata here are horizontal, and the rock has a high compressive strength (800 kg/cm3), and there is no tilt or slip, it cannot be moved by the wind or knocked down by the rain. It has stood proudly among the peaks for tens of millions of years, guarding this mysterious land, which is rare.Cliff plank roadThe Cliff Plank Road, also known as Buyuntian Plank Road and Cliff Corridor, was built in August 2006 and took 1 year and 8 months to complete. The plank road is located on the mountainside of the vertical cliff on the east side of the mountain, with an altitude of about 1,700 meters, a total length of 488 meters, a height difference of 300 meters, and 118 stone steps. It is integrated with the mountain cliffs. Because the plank road is built on the cliff, some people call it the Cliff Corridor, or the "Cliff Plank Road". The project is a combination of the manufacturing technology of the ancient Bashu plank road with modern reinforced concrete building materials and advanced construction technology. It is scientific, safe, and magnificent. Welcome SongThe Welcoming Pine, which is estimated to be nearly a thousand years old, grows proudly on the cliff, as if opening its arms to welcome tourists from all over the world.

    "The scenery is pleasant, the fairy spirit is very worth a visit! But you must take the cable car down the mountain, otherwise you will regret it unless you want to hike... From the Golden Summit down the mountain, passing through the 321-day gate, there are no special attractions and beautiful scenery, only the steps that can't see the head, so it is recommended that people with poor physical strength and who don't want to climb the mountain must take the cable car."

    "The price is cheaper than the official coach. And it is delivered directly to the entrance of the scenic spot. If you take the official coach, you have to take a taxi or charter a car. In addition, the whole process is more relaxed and soothing."
    Hefeng

    Highlights: Pingshan Grand Canyon beautifully combines both natural scenery and historical relics. The topography here is precipitous, and the scenery unique.

    "There is no ticket for the Three Gorges Dam Scenic Area, only the cost of transportation, which is very affordable. Self-driving passes are changed at the door, which is very convenient. The browsing route is also great, and watching the dam from multiple angles at close range is really a great project!"

    "The boat departed on time at 8:30 in the morning. From the Three Gorges Visitor Center Yichang Port, Gezhouba Lock and Xiling Gorge have beautiful scenery on both sides of the Straits. There are tea snacks for the card seat on the second floor. People with strong physical strength do not need to sit for the whole viewing process (I bought it and didn't sit for a few minutes). The tourists who have their own stools occupy the frontmost position of the bow of the third floor platform are too hilarious. It is so pleasant to watch the boat through the Gezhouba lock, and they are envious and jealous. The photo link of the Three Gorges Dam visit certificate is your own, the free photos are old-fashioned and can't be seen clearly 😅😅😅😅😅"

Only the two dams (the two dams and one gorge area) of the Xiling Gorge section maintain the original scenery of the Three Gorges Gorge. Therefore, the “two dams and one gorge” has become the only ecologically intact Three Gorges in the world, and it has great ornamental value.
