Its ecological environment is unique, and its natural scenery is primitive and simple, with a gallery of ten thousand meters of cliffs, a thousand-foot waterfall, hundreds of unique peaks, and ten miles of deep ravines. Yunlong Ground Fissure is called "the beautiful scar of the earth"; "One Incense Stick" was rated as one of the 40 famous scenic spots in China by foreign media.Yunlong ground seamYunlong Ground Fissure Scenic Area covers an area of ​​11.3 square kilometers and has an altitude of 600-800 meters. The main landforms in the scenic area include ground fissures, waterfalls, deep pools, karst caves, underground rivers, pictographic stones, and geological profiles. Yunlong Ground Fissure is zigzag-shaped in plane, extending nearly north-south, with a total length of 3.6 kilometers, an average depth of 75 meters, and an average width of 15 meters. The river valley is deep and the bank is steep. It is known as the "ten-mile and hundred-foot cliff". It is the main sightseeing area of ​​Yunlong Ground Fissure Scenic Area. 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. 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.

    "If you have good physical strength, you can play from the back. If you don’t want to go too much, it’s better to play from the back. The front scenery is better than the back. We took the car to the last attraction to play. I can’t walk to the back. The first attraction did not go."

    "The management of the scenic spot is a bit confusing, and the ticket exchange is very slow on holidays. The scenery of the scenic spot is very good. But I really want to complain about the traffic from Enshi City to this scenic spot! ! We bought a ticket at Enshi Bus Terminal for 40 yuan per person. That car is the kind of small bus that is very old and very old, about a dozen people! (I suspect that this car is older than my age) Then the mountain road is very narrow and very bumpy, the road is open for 3 hours! It takes 6 hours to go back and forth! Really have to fall apart! 10,000 times more tired than climbing! I suggest you charter a car or drive by yourself."

From Qiaowan Pass on the mountain to Qiaowan at the bottom of the valley, there is a vertical drop of more than 500 meters. Dozens of zigzag turns are used to cut the road down the cliff, so the locals call it "forty-two turns". There are a total of 1,528 steps in the mountain path. Due to this special terrain, the landscape, forest, field road and farmhouses in Luyuanping have remained original and have formed a unique culture and customs.

    "It is said that it is a boat at 8:30, but I don’t know what to wait for. It will open at 9:45. It will simply open later. The first people don’t need to get up so early. The scenery of the Daqing River is still beautiful. Even if it rains, there is no misty and rainy mood, but the boat journey is too long for more than 5 hours. Tourists (especially children) interfere with each other and are very uncomfortable. In addition, as a well-known attraction, there is no public transportation to reach, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get back by taxi. It is really inconvenient to either go with a group or charter a car! It is recommended to have a through train merged with Daqingjiang and Suobuya Stone Forest. It takes several times a day. The Daqingjiang Pier is closer to the Butterfly Cliff. It is more suitable within 3 hours of the boat journey."
