🏨 Enshi Grand Canyon ❤Recommended reason: I have longed to visit the Enshi Grand Canyon, and finally, I made it. As a 5A tourist attraction, it's a great place for outdoor climbing and a natural oxygen bar. Those who love natural landscapes really shouldn't miss it! 🌟Highlights: The Grand Canyon is divided into two main scenic areas: Qixingzhai (on the mountain) and Yunlong Rift (below the mountain) Purchase a combo ticket in advance, which includes the Grand Canyon entrance ticket, ground cable car, Yunlong Rift, Qixingzhai, scenic shuttle bus, cableway ascent, vertical ladder, and escalator 🗓Itinerary: Day 1 Wuhan to Enshi takes about 4 hours. After arriving at Enshi station, exit the station, cross the road to the bus station, and buy a ticket to the Enshi Grand Canyon (depart when full), which takes about 1.5 hours. The scenery along the way is also nice! After arriving, call the hostel owner to pick you up, have dinner, check in, and rest up! Day 2 The hostel provides breakfast. After eating, start climbing. Enter the scenic area and first take the ground cable car (a must-ride section), then choose to go to Qixingzhai or the rift. You can start with climbing the mountain, take the cable car up, enjoy the beautiful view below, and have a great experience. Next is touring the mountain, which takes about 2 hours in total. There are cliff corridors, stone forests, and the famous 'One Incense Stick', where every shot is stunningly beautiful. The last part of the descent is by escalator (this is very necessary, as it saves energy), and then a scenic shuttle bus takes you to the entrance of the scenic area. If you come down early, go directly to the rift, which takes about 2 hours in total. It's very cool, with waterfalls cascading down, rapid streams, and even a Rainbow Waterfall. It's truly beautiful, contrasting with the scenery on the mountain, another kind of beauty, finishing two scenic areas in one day! 📝Note tips: If you have enough time, you can stroll slowly. It is recommended to visit one scenic area per day, so your legs won't be too sore the next day, making it a bit more relaxed. You can also finish both in one day, but it's a bit tiring for the legs!

"The Classic of Tea" once said that tea originated from Ba-Shu. We do not know. The Enshi region, shrouded in clouds and mist, has an annual oxygen ion count off the charts, with humidity estimated over 70, and selenium-rich acidic soil, nurturing tender green tea gardens, somewhat literal to the meaning of a green fairyland. On the road from Enshi city to the Grand Canyon, one passes through a tunnel called the Dream Fulfilling Tunnel, and the exit is the tea garden, whose name we never know, but it's a must-visit spot every time. In the early morning, the dawn light penetrates through the cliffs, and the mist wanders over the tea fields, with the tea appearing and disappearing in the swirling clouds. The imagined scenery has never come so early By the time I arrived, it was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the tender green tea leaves had been picked, leaving rows of glossy green tea bushes. The tea garden has added tents, equipped with tea houses, offering hot pot meals, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to taste them, or it would have been delightful. No entrance fee, no restrictions, a leisurely visit like the carefree clouds and wild cranes.

The world is full of wonders and breathtaking landscapes near the magical latitude of 30°N, and when it crosses Hubei, it creates a fairyland called Enshi! Everyone has a different Enshi in their heart! For thrill-seekers, it's the Enshi Grand Canyon, known as the 'Oriental Colorado'; for foodies, it's the dream of Enshi's small potatoes🥔 and Tujia oil tea soup; for artistic souls, it's the experience of the ethnic minority's folk life... As the only ethnic minority autonomous prefecture in Hubei Province, Enshi is bordered by Jingchu to the east, Xiaoxiang to the south, Chongqing and Guizhou to the west, and Shennongjia to the north. Numerous mysterious and ancient legends originate from here. How to immerse yourself in Enshi, here's a guide: ♥️ Enshi Grand Canyon —— Home to the 'World Geological Wonder and Oriental Colorado,' the Enshi Grand Canyon is the only place in the world where 'earth fissures - sinkholes - rock pillar groups' coexist as a complex karst landform. The five geological wonders of Qingjiang rising to white clouds, sheer cliffs surrounding peaks, sky bridges connecting caves, dark rivers joining waterfalls, and sinkholes paired with earth fissures are all breathtaking. Nowadays, it's easy to play in the Enshi Grand Canyon with the ground cable car and the canyon ropeway, especially the canyon ropeway, which is 2266 meters long with a vertical drop of 792 meters between the upper and lower stations, offering a bird's-eye view of the ten-thousand-meter cliff gallery, waterfalls, peaks, and deep gorges, saving time and effort for a trip with parents, allowing you to fully enjoy the scenery. ♥️ Enshi Qingjiang —— Qingjiang is the mother river of the Enshi people, and it is also the river that the 'sister' in one of the 'World Folk Songs,' 'Dragon Boat Tune,' wants to cross. It is not only full of stories but also has a high 'face value'! Overlooking it is like a blue ribbon, flowing clearly for eight hundred li. Qingjiang has three wonders (mountain road, Butterfly Cliff, Shuibuzhi), three gorges (Qianpu Gorge, Butterfly Gorge, Bawang Gorge), three resemblances (Jingyang Bridge, Reclining Buddha, Linjun Mountain), and three legends (Linjun Salt Pool Goddess story, Picking Up Son story, Duan Gong story); you can take a cruise on the Enshi Qingjiang, with both antique boats and large cruise ships available for choice. ⛵️Currently, the main boarding points are Hunshui River Wharf Visitor Center and Shuibuya Wharf Visitor Center. ♥️ Honghua Gorge Forest Peak Scenic Area —— Located on the south bank of Qingjiang, it is one of the best observation points for Qingjiang's multi-level terraces. Taking the 'cross-river cableway,' you can look up at Hongyan Mouth and Honghua Stone Forest, overlook the Qingjiang River Valley, and also go ashore for a tour, immersing yourself in the beauty of Enshi. ♥️ Pingba Camp —— With the largest primeval forest in western Hubei, this area is full of winding mountains, composed of elements such as ancient, strange, beautiful, quiet, and wild, creating a naturally pristine atmosphere. Taking Asia's largest V-shaped aerial cableway - Jigongshan Cableway, you can glide through the lush ancient forest, experiencing the feeling of 'sliding on treetops.' Another core scenic area of Pingba Camp - Sidong Gorge, is a very rare tunnel cluster landscape, which also contains the mysterious and ancient history and culture of the Tujia people, hence Sidong Gorge is also known as the 'Tujia Holy Land'. 🏠 Accommodation recommendation: Pingba Camp's special forest treehouse, the country's first forest-style all-wood villa hotel. Drawing on the principle of the Tujia stilted building, each villa is built in succession against the ancient trees, with the villas weaving above the ancient trees, living in the treetops, and enjoying the freshness after the rain in the empty mountains. 🍜 Food recommendation: Tujia oil tea soup, Zhangguanhezha, Tujia cured meat, Baiyang dried tofu, Shefan, Zhangguangjiao, Gexian rice, Fengtou ginger, Fubao mountain cress, and New Year meat.

May Day holiday lasts 4-5 days, and during this time, you can explore the culture and natural scenery here, which is absolutely stunning! The gorges, waterfalls⛰️, forests, streams🌳, and Tujia culture🏂 are truly worth the visit, as even National Geographic has recommended this less-traveled destination❗❗ Here's a 5-day, 4-night guide for you, sisters, rush for it this May Day❗ 🚘Regarding transportation 🚄Enshi Station ✈️Xujiaping Airport 💥Tips: Both the train station and airport are located in Enshi city, making transportation very convenient. 🌈On the first afternoon, you can take a taxi directly to the Daughter City, where there are plenty of snacks and continuous ethnic performances, making it a perfect place for strolling and eating🤤 🌈On the second day, head straight to Pingshan Gorge to take a boat ride and take photos, experiencing the coolness of 'China's Semporna', and in the evening, go to see the night view of Xuanen, with Wenlan Bridge and Moda Tower offering great photo opportunities📷 🌈On the third day, set off for the Earth's Valley, where the valley floor is like a natural oxygen bar, and a walk around leaves you feeling refreshed and invigorated😎. In the afternoon, visit Suobuya Stone Forest, and be sure to wear a camisole with cargo pants, and bring sunglasses! I can only say I'm the coolest in the world🕶️ 🌈On the fourth day, head to Enshi Grand Canyon, which is rightfully listed as a World Heritage site by the United Nations, truly spectacular! It does require a good level of fitness though, as the journey is mostly on foot🥾 🌈On the fifth day, you can visit the Tusi City, rent a set of ethnic clothing, and take amazing photos here! In the afternoon, you can take a car back home. The scenery in Enshi is truly beautiful and worth it👍!! Here are some little 💥Tips: 1️⃣ The Enshi Grand Canyon requires a good level of fitness, so if you're not in a hurry, you can split the visit over two days, first visiting the Qixingzhai scenic area, and then the Yunlong Rift on the second day, which is more relaxing and can be completed in one morning. 2️⃣🌻If you're not big on photography, you can skip Tusi City. If you're interested in cultural stories, this spot might disappoint you. 3️⃣It's recommended to charter a car, carpool, or drive yourself when visiting Enshi, as the attractions are quite far apart. It's advisable to book a car in advance, as prices rise closer to May Day, and remember to shop around for a good deal. Consider group tours carefully; although they save trouble, they're not as free as traveling on your own. 4️⃣Although Enshi's attractions are crowded, they're still better than other popular cities.‼️Be sure to go early to avoid peak times! Like us, we arrived at the entrance of the scenic area at seven or eight in the morning, try to avoid the travel groups' schedule, otherwise, you might queue for an hour at the entrance, which can be frustrating... 5️⃣Daughter City is just a commercial hub with snacks from all over the country. Highly recommend renting a set of ethnic costumes for a photo shoot, there are plenty of rental shops, be sure to walk further inside‼️The deeper you go, the cheaper it gets, and there are fewer people in the shops! You can rent together with a few people, remember to bargain with the shop owner. 6️⃣It's best to book tickets in advance to avoid the situation of running out of tickets. For example, when we were planning to visit Pingshan Grand Canyon, the scenic area announced the day before that the reservation was full and no more tickets would be sold. However, we still went to the site and bought student tickets, and since we arrived early, we actually got the tickets. The online notice is probably to limit the number of visitors, but to be safe, it's best to buy in advance～

Enshi Grand Canyon, as the most famous scenic spot in Enshi, has always been the representative of Enshi. Its Yunlong Rift has been praised by National Geographic as the most beautiful scar on China's land, with sheer cliffs surrounding peaks, rifts matching sinkholes, and all kinds of extreme landscapes of karst topography are included here. Friends who travel to Enshi must go and experience it. Enshi Grand Canyon was developed relatively late (the overall development of Enshi was also late, and the history with highways is very short), it has learned a lot from the development ideas of many famous mountains and rivers in China. After visiting, I feel that the scenery is indeed very beautiful and worth a visit, 💕💕💕Tips: 1️⃣ The distance from Enshi High-speed Train Station to the Grand Canyon is very far, and the road conditions are not good (all are national and provincial roads), which is very bumpy. Those who get carsick can consider taking a car from Lichuan High-speed Train Station, which is closer and the road conditions are better. 2️⃣ There are many homestays with great views next to the Enshi Grand Canyon in Mufu Village, which are very cost-effective. It is highly recommended to stay here for one night. If you are lucky, you can see the morning mist and sea of clouds in the morning. If you encounter the rapeseed flower season, it is as beautiful as an oil painting. 3️⃣ Friends who have difficulty walking must be mentally prepared. The Enshi Grand Canyon scenic area is designed to be very large. It's not that it's difficult to climb, but simply that the route design is very long. Under normal circumstances, it requires Qixingzhai (3h by cable car, 4h without cable car) + Yunlong Rift (1.5h by elevator, 2h without elevator)~ These do not include waiting time in line, and it takes twenty minutes to walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic area. 4️⃣ The most beautiful Mufu Waterfall of Yunlong Rift is near the vertical elevator at the end. If you go to the rift, be sure to walk to the end, and it's best to bring an umbrella, as there is a long exposed path to walk after the elevator. 5️⃣ There are supplies along the Qixingzhai scenic area, with reasonable prices. There are disposable walking sticks for sale in the parking lot, and there are no supplies inside Yunlong Rift, so remember to bring a bottle of water. 6️⃣ The uphill cable car of Qixingzhai is really not necessary to take (unless you are really in a hurry or have difficulty walking). The scenic bus can directly take you to the entrance halfway up the mountain. The actual extra climb is just a section of the cliff plank road, and you can pass by the Immortal Peak and South Heaven Gate, all with great views. The Qixingzhai downhill escalator is highly recommended, it's affordable and you can enjoy the scenery slowly. 7️⃣ You must take the elevator at the exit of Yunlong Rift, otherwise, you'll be exhausted. There is still a long way to go after taking the elevator. 8️⃣ Those who don't have a Hubei annual pass can find locals to buy tickets which can be cheaper (such as drivers). If you are in a hurry or have difficulty walking, you can consider only going to Yunlong Rift. Tickets can be purchased separately, and the peak forest of the Grand Canyon can be seen along the way... 9️⃣ There are automatic storage lockers at the parking lot skybridge, costing 10-20 per day depending on the size of the locker (the largest size suitcase can also fit).

Is Enshi Grand Canyon worth visiting? My answer is: Worth it! I have been to Enshi four times, and the one I like the most and recommend the most is Enshi Grand Canyon! Enshi Grand Canyon mainly has two major tourist areas: Qixingzhai and Yunlong Difeng. They each have their own beauty and should not be missed! 🌊Yunlong Difeng: Yunlong Difeng is known as "the most beautiful earth scar in the world". If you look down from the air, you can see a huge "U"-shaped crack across the canyon, which is the famous Yunlong Difeng. As a natural karst topography museum, pictographic stones, caves, dark rivers, sky bridges, peak clusters, rock pillars, etc. can all be appreciated in Yunlong Difeng. It is worth mentioning that the waterfall in Yunlong Difeng is also very spectacular! ⛰️Must visit in Qixingzhai: ①🔥Xiangyun Torch: Xiangyun Torch is named for its resemblance to a beacon, and is one of the iconic attractions of Enshi Grand Canyon. ②🌲Welcoming Pine: The welcoming pine in Huangshan is very famous, and the welcoming pine in Enshi Grand Canyon is also well-known far and near. Basically, every visitor to Enshi Grand Canyon will take pictures and check in here. ③One Incense Stick: The iconic landscape of Enshi Grand Canyon, and even the "treasure of the valley"! One Incense Stick is actually a suspended peak about 150 meters high. The magic is that despite its wide top and narrow bottom (the bottom diameter is 6 meters, the narrowest part is only 4 meters), it can withstand wind and rain, and stand for thousands of years without falling. Practical guide to Enshi Grand Canyon: ①📍Address: Mufu Village, Tunbao Township and Banqiao Town, Enshi City, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province. ②🚅Transportation: Enshi has an airport and a high-speed rail station, which is very convenient for travel. Next to Enshi Station is Enshi Bus Passenger Station. The passenger station has buses to Enshi Grand Canyon. The fare is 25 yuan/person, and the journey takes about 1.5 hours. ③💰Tickets: The online price of the all-inclusive ticket for the scenic area is 345 yuan/person, and the joint ticket for the scenic area excluding the cable car is 240 yuan/person. ④🗺️Tour route: The tour route of Enshi Grand Canyon is not complicated. You can play Yunlong Difeng and Qixingzhai first. It takes about 2 hours to visit Yunlong Difeng, and Qixingzhai takes a little longer. I took the cable car up and down the escalator, and it took more than 4 hours in total. ⑤✨Others: Recommended accommodation is Nu'erzhai Resort Hotel; Enshi Grand Canyon is quite leg-consuming, even if you take the cable car and escalator, you still need to walk a lot, be sure to wear a pair of comfortable shoes.

I stumbled upon this place in National Geographic and simply felt it was where I wanted to go. After making a simple travel plan, I visited Enshi during the off-season last year. If the mountains won't come to me, I'll go to the mountains. My legs were exhausted, but every scene was unique. National Geographic really didn't lie to me, and I'm going again this year.

🌈 Want to set foot in Enshi Grand Canyon, but worried about the many inconveniences and unknowns during the trip? Don't worry, I have personally walked 25,000 steps, covering every corner, and carefully compiled a comprehensive Enshi Grand Canyon travel guide to help you avoid all potential "traps" and fully enjoy the beauty of the canyon. Grab it now to safeguard your next trip! Transportation hub💨: From the center of Enshi city, it only takes about two hours by car to reach the fairyland on earth—Enshi Grand Canyon. 🎟️ Ticket information: An adult all-inclusive ticket is only 345 yuan, which includes tickets to the Qixingzhai scenic area, Yunlong Difeng scenic area, round-trip tickets for the ground cable car, shuttle bus tickets within the scenic area, uphill cableway tickets, Qixingzhai escalator tickets, and the vertical sightseeing elevator tickets for Difeng, offering a one-stop experience that's incredibly cost-effective! ⏰ Opening hours and visit recommendations: The scenic area is open daily from 8:00 to 16:00. It is strongly recommended to arrive as early as possible, especially if you want to witness the dreamy rainbow waterfall🌈 at Yunlong Difeng in the morning when the light is most ideal. 🎯 Recommended tour route: 1. Visitor Center - Ground Cable Car - Entrance to Yunlong Difeng - Tour Yunlong Difeng Scenic Area - Vertical Sightseeing Elevator to Yunlong Difeng Exit (Cableway Plaza) - Transfer to the scenic area shuttle bus to the Qixingzhai walking entrance - Tour Qixingzhai Scenic Area - Downhill Escalator - Return to Visitor Center - Take the shuttle bus back to Cableway Plaza - Ground Cable Car - Visitor Center. ❗️ Important notes: Remember! Although you can choose to climb on foot during the ascent, considering the height of 1700 meters from the valley bottom to the highest point, along with the subsequent cliff plank road, it is strongly advised to take the cable car🚡 up the mountain, otherwise, you may regret it for life. 🌍 Scenic spot highlights: After reaching the mountaintop, follow the signs, and you will encounter in succession the One-Line Sky, Cliff Corridor, Auspicious Cloud Torch, Welcoming Pine, and the iconic landmark Incense Stick, enjoying the magnificent panorama of the towering stone forest, like reading a living geological textbook. Descending the gentle slope, after touring the Lovers' Peak, the last challenge of the descent awaits you—9 sections of escalators. At this point, even after trekking nearly 15 kilometers, considering the huge physical exertion, especially for the elderly👨🦳 and children👶, it is recommended to take the escalator down the mountain. Personal experience tells me that after this trip, your legs will inevitably feel muscle soreness. ⭕️After descending the mountain, take the scenic area shuttle bus back to the Visitor Center, thus perfectly completing the magical journey of Enshi Grand Canyon. 🍲 Food supply: Due to the complex terrain of the canyon, it is advisable to travel light and carry a moderate amount of drinking water🥛 and energy snacks🍞. If you prefer not to carry them, there are shops on the mountain that sell basic supplies and also offer authentic Enshi snacks, although the prices are slightly higher because all goods are carried up the mountain by manpower. The choice depends on personal preference and needs. 💡 Practical tips: - Wear light and comfortable shoes with good anti-slip properties👟 to reduce the burden and travel easily. - If you have insufficient physical strength, prepare a walking stick🪄 in advance to assist walking and save energy. - Replenish your strength fully to maintain ample energy for the uphill journey. - Pay attention to the weather forecast☀️ and choose a clear day for your outing to showcase the grandeur of the canyon to the fullest. The must-visit Enshi Grand Canyon in this lifetime, follow my steps, and easily read all the wonders of the world, making every step a splendid footnote in life.
