The main dish is Tujia cuisine from Changyang, Enshi. There is a membership price. The taste is really good. The location is also very close to Wanda. The service is OK. The main thing is that the taste is good and the consumption is cheap. There are also private rooms that can be booked in advance.
🚗[Transportation Guide] The Lazy Man's Guide to Avoiding Mistakes
▪️Flying: Enshi Xujiaping Airport ✈️ Direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Hangzhou, and Chongqing are all convenient! A taxi to the city center is 15r (closer than the high-speed rail station!)
▪️High-speed Rail: Enshi Station 🚄 Best for nearby cities (4 hours for Wuhan, 3.5 hours for Chongqing). Take bus No. 2 directly from the station to Fenghuang Mountain (for an incredible night view!)
▪️Driving: Navigate to "Enshi Grand Canyon Visitor Center" or "Pingshan Canyon Parking Lot" (The roads are hilly but the scenery is beautiful, so new drivers should be careful!)
🌟[48-Hour Itinerary] Soak up the best of it all
⚠️Key Point: Enshi's attractions are scattered! We recommend staying in the city center or near the Grand Canyon to avoid traveling back and forth!
Day 1: Fairytale Mountain and Water Route (Downtown → Pingshan Canyon → Shiziguan Pass)
▪️Depart for Pingshan Canyon at 8 AM (Entrance fee + boat ticket 120 RMB! Be sure to arrive early!)
👉🏻The boat is paddled by a wooden boat. When the morning mist still lingers, it feels like you're in the Milky Way! Wear a light-colored long skirt (white/cream-yellow) for stunning photos! The boatman will help you take a "floating photo" (with a 20 RMB tip).
👉🏻After disembarking, walk along the wooden boardwalk. Remember to play in the stream! The water is so clear that you can even see tiny crabs 🦀 lurking in the cracks between the stones (don't try to catch them!)
▪️Lunch in Hefeng County! Highly recommend the "Old Place Tujia Bacon" (the bacon and tofu skin are so delicious you'll lick the plate! 40r per person).
▪️ In the afternoon, head to the "Shiziguan Floating Bridge" (entrance fee 120r, plus an additional 20r for driving across the bridge!)
👉🏻 Driving or taking the scenic area bus over the floating bridge creates ripples on the water, which is so relaxing! Remember to roll down the windows; the breeze is filled with the scent of mountain mist~
👉🏻 There's a free small waterfall downstream (wear your hiking shoes to play in the water! The kids won't want to leave! 😭)
▪️ Return to the city for the night and stay near "Selenium City Tea City"! We recommend the "Daughter Village Resort Hotel" (large rooms with terraces offering mountain views, 200+ per person).
DAY 2: Center of the Earth Exploration Route (Grand Canyon → Qixingzhai → Yunlong Earth Fissure)
▪️ Depart at 7 AM! The Enshi Grand Canyon is truly enormous (entrance fee + scenic pass: 170 RMB, a must!)
👉🏻 First, take the cable car up the mountain (105 RMB one way! Saves 2 hours of walking). The view of the mountains is simply stunning!
👉🏻 Highlights: Qixingzhai: A 3-hour hike (those with less stamina should take the western route!)
▪️Must-see spots:
▫️"One Line of Sky": Cross sideways, leaving only a thin sliver of skylight overhead. ✨
▫️"Cliff Plank Road": Hanging over a 300-meter cliff! Caution if you're afraid of heights, but it's a fantastic photo opportunity (wear non-slip shoes!)
▫️"One Incense Stick": A stone pillar that hasn't been blown down in 400 years! Your guide will share legends (it's even more captivating!)
▪️Enjoy "Hezha Hotpot" at the entrance to the scenic area for lunch! Recommended: "Shuai Ba Ren" (sour and fragrant He Zha + soft and glutinous cured pig's trotter, 50 ren per person, enough to fill you up)
▪️ In the afternoon, head to "Yunlong Ground Crack" (entrance fee 50 ren, get a combined ticket with Qixingzhai for a great deal!)
👉🏻 The ground crack is filled with waterfalls! Super cool in the summer! There's a rainbow near the waterfall (best light between 3-4 pm).
👉🏻 Wild kiwis are sold at the exit (10 ren per pound, incredibly sweet!)
🍜 [Enshi Food Map] A Local's Guide
▪️ Breakfast: Youxiang (oil-flavored) + He Zha at "Zhao Ji Lawei Restaurant" (they're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and a little chili paste is perfect!)
▪️ Late-night snack: "Xidu Tea City Night Market"! Must-Try:
▫️ Baked Potatoes (Sprinkled with Chili Peppers and Zhe Er Gen, 3r each)
▫️ Baked Potatoes (Flourier than baked potatoes, served with pickled radish to relieve the greasiness)
▫️ Rice Tofu (Smooth with chili oil and vinegar, super appetizing)
▪️ Dessert: "Zhangguan Hezha" corn rice with soft-boiled egg (Hezha is fermented, so it might be a little strange the first time you try it, but the more you drink it, the more addictive it gets!)
❗️ [Tips to Avoid Pitfalls]
1️⃣ Arrive early at Pingshan Canyon/Shiziguan! After 8 PM, the lines can be as long as 2 hours (6 PM is recommended during peak season!)
2️⃣ Wear non-slip sneakers when hiking in the Grand Canyon! The steps are steep and slippery (slippers or high heels are a no-no).
3️⃣ Don't buy souvenirs in the scenic area! The specialty shops in the city's "Selenium City Tea City" are even cheaper (bacon, dried tofu, and wild honey are available without a care).
4️⃣ Enshi is rainy! Bring an umbrella (sunshowers are common in the afternoons of August, and the mountain scenery is even more picturesque after the rain).

[Environment] The restaurant is built on the mountain, and the environment is very good
[Service] The service attitude is very good
[Taste] Sanyou Shenxian Chicken: a whole chicken, large portion, the chicken is fresh and not dry, just right!
Fried potato chips with Litsea cubeba: very delicious, friends who like Litsea cubeba should not miss it.
Environment: The restaurant built in the original cave is very unique, giving people a very novel experience. It is very cool in the summer. The rock walls are wet and covered with moss, which is very beautiful. The top of the cave is decorated with ancient oil-paper umbrellas, which is particularly beautiful. Service: There are too many people and the service is not up to par. The cashier is even more unprofessional. I won't go into too much detail.

We are both old and have traveled to so many places. This is the second time I have eaten such fresh fish. Fatty fish is worthy of being a specialty of Yichang. The boss is very nice. It was raining heavily, so he asked us to take a rest in the store and leave after the rain stopped. He also talked to us about some of the past of Yichang Three Gorges. I was deeply touched. Thank you boss!!!
[Taste] The taste is very good, very suitable for our Henan people's taste
[Environment] Very clean. The environment is very good.
[Service] The waiter service is very good, I will definitely come again

On August 2 this year, my family of three went to Yichang for fun. The weather was very hot and we were very tired. We searched for this restaurant on the Internet. The food was very delicious. The wife was a beautiful woman. Her service attitude made people feel very close. The food was not expensive. We played in Yichang for two days and had dinner here. It was great!

This hot pot experience was great! The set meal for two was only 195 yuan, which was very cost-effective. The condiment area was complete, and there were fruit snacks, which was very considerate. The soy milk pot in the middle was drinkable and had a mellow taste, and the spicy pots on both sides were also very satisfying. The service was even more patient and thoughtful. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I highly recommend it to friends who like hot pot.
The soy milk fish soup is very unique and fresh. We chose the duckbill fish, which weighed 2.8 catties for two people, and some vegetables. It was very satisfying and worth the trip. The service was also very good.

I came to Yichang to take a boat trip to the Three Gorges. I accidentally encountered a store clerk who was handing out a leaflet. I wanted to say that Yichang fish is good, so I came to try it. The store clerk saw that it was inconvenient for us, three elderly people, and he was very considerate and took us upstairs. , the service is very good, and the dishes introduced are also very satisfactory, especially the fish in Yichang, which is very delicious, the soup is delicious, very suitable for the elderly.

Located in the old city of Yichang, on Fusui Road, opposite the Construction Bank and next to the former Nanhu Hotel, the location is very good, with hospitals and residents nearby, a large flow of people, rich and delicious dishes, shrimp balls are the signature dish
How can you go to Yichang without seeing the Three Gorges Dam, how can you not take a boat tour of the Three Gorges, how can you not experience the Qingjiang Gallery, how can you not see the Three Gorges Waterfall during the flood season! Each one is beautiful and worth it! ! ! There are fresh scenery all the way, and the self-driving experience is directly maximized!

Yichang scenic spots are widely distributed. It is recommended to plan a 3-day itinerary. The first choice for accommodation is Wujiagang District in the urban area. Recommend two prime locations:
✅Around the Three Gorges Visitor Center: adjacent to Yichang Wanda Plaza, it is very convenient for boat tours of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River or shopping and leisure;
✅Xingfa Plaza Business District: surrounded by four comprehensive shopping malls, with everything from food, drink and entertainment, only 3-4 kilometers away from the Three Gorges Visitor Center

Chuxiang Chef, the beef three fresh hotpot, bacon fried bean curd, and pickled pepper chicken offal taste good.
This is just my personal experience.
👉🏻Chuxiang Chef
Maybe because I sat on the train for a whole day, I had no appetite when I ate at night, and I didn't feel anything obvious. But the rice grains were clearly what I liked. The cold bean curd was the specialty, which was OK. The chicken offal I ordered casually was just OK (no toilet paper)
👉🏻Dasanyuan Restaurant (cbd store)
Great value for money, the taste was also good, the dry pot chicken was delicious (rice was free, no toilet paper)
👉🏻Yazi Noodle House
Very close to the hotel, near the residential building, I ate there for two mornings, there were a lot of people, the kimchi was delicious, the noodles tasted good, the taste was heavy, heavy oil and spicy, I personally liked it more (there was toilet paper)
👉🏻Pepper, Spicy, and Spicy Hot Pot
I don't like to eat the same thing again, so I searched online🔍 and went to this place to buy a meal for two people, pig's trotters and shrimps, it felt just OK, spicy (rice was 5 yuan per serving, a small bowl There are toilet paper and free melon seeds and snacks) 👉🏻Yipianxiang (Wanda branch)
There are only small dishes during meal time. At other times, there are set meals of casserole rice or rice noodles. It is cost-effective and tastes OK. The taste is light (rice is 2 yuan a bowl. There is toilet paper. There are free kimchi and millet porridge)
👉🏻Laoma wonton (I think)
It should be this name. It is very close to the hotel. It sells wontons, steamed buns, soy milk, porridge, and rice rolls. I didn’t eat wontons. The steamed buns and soy milk are just okay. I tried the rice rolls with spicy taste once and it was not bad (there is toilet paper)
👉🏻cbd snack street
Cold shrimp: I have tried both Wang’s and Peng’s. I feel that the brown sugar cold shrimp Wang’s is stronger and sweeter than Peng’s. I personally prefer Wang’s cold shrimp. I like the brown sugar cold shrimp more than the osmanthus rock sugar cold shrimp
I also tried radish dumplings, roasted pig’s trotters, iron plate potatoes, etc. I personally don’t think it’s particularly amazing But you can try it
🏨Accommodation: Yun 7 Hotel (cbd store)
·It is in a large community, there are many breakfast shops nearby, Cainiao Station is very close, next to Meiyijia, very close to cbd snack street
·The service is very good, especially the front desk, they will say greetings when entering and leaving the door. The cleaning staff also gave greeting cards and snacks on the last day. There is a water dispenser, tea and other things in the lobby

A must-visit for those who like to eat lotus root. The lotus root soup is really fragrant and rich. Good reviews
Unscrupulous business, defrauding customers. The menu said fatty fish was 39 yuan per catty, but the checkout cost 88 per catty, saying the fish was different, and I didn’t tell you.
