    "During the day, the ancient town of Phoenix is ​​covered with a silvery green of trees, green rivers, and mist. At night, the ancient town puts on a strange, shimmering beauty. Ancient bridges crossing the river, ancient roofs hundreds of years old,... are all covered with bright lights. The surface of the Da Giang River is quiet during the day, but at night, the water surface reflects the bright and bustling scene of the nightlife here, as beautiful as a dream."

    "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."

The two walls of Yunlong Ground Fissure are steep and nearly parallel, and the width is basically the same from top to bottom. The cross section is "U"-shaped, which is extremely rare and unique.A stick of incenseKarst stone pillars. 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.

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.
