Enshi Prefecture Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Enshi Grand Canyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
we started from cable car down to up station and did 6k on the top of the ridge until escalators. followed by few kilometers bus ride from escalator down station to cable car down station back. then walked down the stairs to follow the green path on the bottom of the valley. all together 15 km GPS measured was gold. highly recommended for hiking lovers !
The Grand Canyon is approximately 2 hours by car from Enshi. The total trek is around 10 kilometres and takes around 4-5 hours. Do take the cable car as it covers a lo of grounds over a not very scenic part of the mountains. There are plenty of food stalls along the way for u to fuel up

Enshi five-day tour self-driving route recommended!
Enshi is located at the intersection of Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou provinces. It is cold in winter and cold in summer. It has abundant rainfall and abundant four seasons. The most famous one is Enshi Grand Canyon, but there are many small attractions. Shaojingmei, hurry to Mark
Itinerary recommendation:
D1 Arrival, live in Enshi Grand Canyon
D2 Enshi Grand Canyon Qixingzhai, Yunlong Ground, "Dragon Boat Tune" live performance
D3 Golden Cave, Tangya Toast City, Live Tree House
D4 Enshiping Dam Camp, Sidongxia
D5 Return
Transportation:
1 There are not many flights directly to Enshi. If there is no direct flight to Enshi in your city, you can consider going to Wuhan and then taking a train to Enshi.
2 After you get to Enshi, you can pick up your car and drive. Since there are many mountain roads, it is recommended to purchase the whole car insurance at the same time.
3 If you encounter thunderstorms in summer, you should pay attention to the road conditions in time, there may be mudslides or landslides leading to road closures.
:
1 Enshi Grand Canyon is divided into two main scenic spots: Yunlong and Qixingzhai. The upper seven-star village can take the cable car, and there are also hand-held elevators to go down the mountain. The entire scenic area is very large. There are no attractions in the two sections of the mountain and the downhill. It is recommended to take the cable car to save energy and time.
2 "Dragon Boat Tune" is a folk song of Lichuan. The real performance is based on the love story of a pair of Tujia boys and girls in the Tusi era, describing their touching stories of breaking away from feudal ties and pursuing free love. The scene is spectacular and you can better understand the local culture.
3Tangya Tusi City is a late Ming Dynasty ruins. If you just think of yourself as a hillside, it is recommended to find a explanation.
4 The number of tree house hotels in Lupingbaying is limited. It is often full in the peak season during the summer vacation. It is recommended to book in advance.
Hotel recommendation:
Enshi Grand Canyon Daughter Village Hotel. Very close to the Grand Canyon, the rooms are large in size, with balconies facing the mountain and elegantly furnished. The hotel has breakfast available and is cost effective.
pingbaying tree house. As if living in a Nordic cabin, the air in the virgin forest is exceptionally good. The detached chalet is quiet and romantic, but the facilities are not luxurious, but clean and comfortable.

Enshi, a Mysterious Land at the Magical Latitude of 30°N
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.

Enshi Suobuya Stone Forest Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
There was an interesting story about how the place got its name. Legend goes in ancient time, the King of Xiang united five different tribes of Ba people and became their captain. One day he came across a place with three strategically significant mountain passes in a row. So the captain named this place “Suobuya”, because in Ba language, “sobu” means“three”and“ya” means “mountain pass”.
Suobuya stone forest, its limestone sediments formed more than 460 million years ago, corded by water, gradually developed into different layers with horizontal textures.
#hiking#nationalpark#roadtrip#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
Brief Introduction. Suobuya stone forest is the world's first Ordovician stone forest and is an AAAA grade China national tourist attraction. It is located 54km north to Enshi City, Hubei province in central China. ... And this is what distinguishes itself outside the other karst formations in southwest China.
There are more than 100 classic natural scenes in the Suobuya Stone Forest. The Orsun Co. which is the operator and developer of Suobuya would invest 15 billion Yuan to upgrade the Suobuya Stone Forest scenic area. At present, there are four main scenic spots open to the public. They are Qinglong temple, Lianhua village, Mozi Gully and Jiulonghui. Each scenic spot has its own characteristics and fossils were often found here, it is truly an amazing natural ancient geological landscape museum. Besides, many attractions centered on sports and adventure will also be available. Tourists will get a chance to explore the stone forest and the river valley. In addition, scientific educational attractions like the 4D cinema and fossil museum will be built. Suobuya offers both beautiful natural scenery and fascinating folk custom. Twenty nine ethnic groups including the Tujia, Miao and Dong have created a colorful and splendid ethnic culture around this area.

Enshi Travel Guide: Suobuya Stone Forest
Suobuya Stone Forest, known as the skirt of nature! Worth a visit! The key point is that it's not hot even in the scorching summer! Due to the dense layers of stone forest, there are many crevices where you can feel the cool and breathable air. The wind carries a hint of coolness, making it incredibly refreshing amidst the heat, just like having the air conditioning set to 19 degrees Celsius! TIPS:
1. It is advised not to bring a walking stick, as the terrain is quite uneven, and walking sticks are not very convenient.
2. Some places are really narrow, just enough for one person to pass through, but it's not so exaggerated that you can't carry a bag; a backpack is still OK.
3. Avoid long skirts, leather shoes, and holey shoes, they are not suitable. You'll understand how difficult it is once you go, speaking from experience...
4. There are places in the stone forest where you can buy cucumbers and drinks, so don't worry if you didn't bring enough water.
5. There are local dishes at the entrance, which are quite spicy. The smoked meat noodles are good, and the prices are all similar, as you would expect in a tourist area....
TranscontinentalTales*123 Shilin of Suobuya
Shilin of Suobuya is located in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province, and is a natural scenic area dominated by the karst stone forest landscape.
