Lesser-Known Attraction Wuxiakou | Where is the beauty now? The fragrance of Ganoderma lucidum exists in vain

Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture's Badong County Wuxiakou scenic area is a very niche attraction, so obscure that you can hardly find any detailed travel guides online before you go. But the first time I overlooked Wuxiakou from a high place, I was truly amazed, and instantly understood why so many poets are in love with the Three Gorges. Ticket🎫: 💰216, includes admission, round-trip cable car, glass bridge, and Ganoderma Terrace (it's cheaper to take the scenic shuttle bus instead of the cable car, 117 yuan). By the way, the ticket is really expensive, I understand that some equipment maintenance costs are high, but the facilities in the scenic area do not match this price. Travel Tips✏️: 1. There are two visitor centers in the Wuxiakou scenic area, the main one is in the county town, where you take the cable car up the mountain; the secondary visitor center is quite far, (from the main visitor center) it takes more than half an hour by car, suitable for self-driving tourists or those who take the sightseeing bus at the foot of the mountain. 2. We took the cable car up the mountain from the main visitor center. After exiting the cable car station at the top, turn left to the 'Stairway to Heaven' (you can either climb the stairs or take the elevator here), and then you reach the Cloud Summit of Wuxiakou. Then follow the signs towards Tianjie for about 1 kilometer to reach the glass bridge, and opposite the glass bridge is the Ganoderma Terrace. 3. Tianjie has accommodations and shops, but some are still under construction, the whole scenic area is still not fully formed, so I say the facilities do not match the price. 4. 'Once the sea was difficult for water, except Wushan is not a cloud', it's too normal to have fog here, without it, it would lose its charm. We had fog all the way from the cable car to the Cloud Summit of Wuxiakou, the kind that you can't see the situation below at all. But when we got to the Ganoderma Terrace, it cleared up. 5. Both the glass bridge and the Ganoderma Terrace charge an additional fee, which is included if you buy the full-price ticket. But if you want to save a bit, the scenery is also not bad on the roadside in front of the glass bridge ticket checkpoint. 6. This is the same location that was featured on the fourth series of the five yuan banknote. But now with the Three Gorges Dam, the water level has changed, and naturally, the scenery is different. 7. After returning to the cable car station, to the right, there is a Feijialing viewing platform facing Shennong Stream, with excellent views. Looking left, the Yangtze River has just made a 90-degree turn; looking right, you can see the whole Badong County. Accommodation🏠: Right next to the cable car station, the room package includes a Wuxiakou ticket, offering great value for money, highly recommended. Moreover, half of the rooms in the hotel face the Yangtze River, and sitting on the balcony to enjoy the view is also a very pleasant experience.
