The scenic area has fairly complete facilities, with rest benches and small shops along the way, so you can stop and rest whenever you get tired. Food and drinks are reasonably priced, making the trip quite hassle-free. It's a great short trip for those from the surrounding area, offering views of canyons and rivers, as well as caves to visit.

Taoxi Valley in the Bashan Grand Canyon is a highly recommended summer retreat in eastern Sichuan. The entire canyon is lush with trees, and walking along the wooden boardwalk by the water, you're enveloped in the cool mountain air. Even in the height of summer, the temperature feels only around 22-23 degrees Celsius – a natural oxygen bar.
Walk slowly along the stream, taking in the Mandarin Duck Corridor Bridge, the Pearl Curtain Waterfall, and the Fish Spring Cave Waterfall. The 50-meter-high waterfall cascades down, its mist instantly dispelling the heat. If you're lucky, you might even spot wild monkeys in the distance. The stream is crystal clear, with shallow pools perfect for wading and cooling off, ideal for children. The Huajiagou sightseeing elevator and the Yuntiandu viewing platform offer panoramic views of the entire Taoxi Valley, providing excellent photo opportunities.
The overall trail has a gentle slope, making it easy for leisurely hiking, suitable for all ages. The only thing to remind everyone is that the boardwalk is damp and covered in moss year-round, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes. Remember to bring a change of clothes if you're going to play in the water. There aren't many shops inside the scenic area, so it's advisable to bring your own drinking water and snacks.
Taoxi Valley is a very comfortable choice for a short weekend road trip to relax, escape the heat, and enjoy water activities.

The Two Rivers Ferry is absolutely fantastic! The 15 yuan ticket is incredibly cost-effective! Here's a great route for families with kids: After visiting Jiefangbei and Kuixinglou, see Hongyadong during the day. If you're traveling with a 6-year-old and don't want to brave the crowds at Hongyadong at night, the stilted buildings during the day are just as beautiful. Afterward, take the Two Rivers Ferry to Danzishi, disembark, and explore Danzishi Old Street, Nanbin Road, and Xiahaoli. Then, take the light rail/bus or taxi back. The whole route is smooth and relaxing. The boat ride is novel and fun, and the kids especially loved it, remaining enthusiastic about exploring the shopping streets afterwards. At the pier, there's a large bowl of freshly cut watermelon for 10 yuan – watch it being cut right in front of you! It's sweet and refreshing. I highly recommend this route for families!

The service here was excellent! My travel companion lost their phone on the transfer bus, we called the service center, and they found it in no time and even brought it to the entrance of the scenic area. A huge thumbs up! The scenery is also fantastic; my favorite spot was Tianfuguan Post Station—it was so beautiful! I highly recommend it!

Enshi Grand Canyon comprises two scenic areas. A full ticket cost 370 yuan, and a day was plenty of time to explore. We entered the park at 8:30 am, visited Qixingzhai in the morning, and Yunlong Ground Fissure at 1 pm. We took the "Little Waist" elevator up at 3 pm. However, after reaching the top, we had to take an escalator and a mini-train to the parking lot, which took an hour. For someone almost 60 years old, visiting both scenic areas was quite manageable.
