I won't allow you to visit Enshi without knowing these essentials

Enshi is absolutely Hubei's top summer retreat
Here's my personally crafted ultra-detailed travel guide
Must bookmark this🔥
·
⛰️ First Stop: Enshi Grand Canyon
·
Walking on the plank road with hundred-meter vertical cliffs above and bottomless canyons below creates an incredible "floating in mid-air" sensation!
✨Must-visit spots:
▪️ Qixingzhai: Climb the "Incense Stick" solitary peak where mountain clusters rise like bamboo shoots amidst swirling clouds - like an immortal cultivation scene!
▪️ Yunlong Ground Fissure: Walk along this earth's crust crack where waterfalls crash down from cliffs, creating refreshing mist that gently kisses your face～
·
⚠️ Tips
▪️ The plank road is quite steep - wear anti-slip sports shoes! Those with weaker stamina can take sightseeing cars
▪️ Cloud seas appear more frequently after rain clears - check weather forecasts～
·
🏮 Second Stop: Tujia Daughter City & Tusi Fortress
·
For authentic Tujia ethnic culture experience, this is the place! Like stepping back into an ancient town～
✨Must-do:
▪️ Immersive performances daily (except Monday) - check the schedule
▪️ Tusi King's Palace: Dress in ethnic costumes for stunning "Tujia Princess" photoshoots
🥟Must-eat:
▪️ Pan-fried Potatoes: Crispy outside, tender inside - perfection with chili powder
▪️ Tujia Smoked Bacon: Rich smoky flavor balanced with pickled radish
▪️ Oil Tea Soup: Savory and aromatic - one sip warms your soul
·
🏞️ Third Stop: Suobuya Stone Forest
·
Unbelievable! This stone forest was actually formed from ancient marine fossils!
An oceanic world from billions of years ago transformed into this bizarre stone forest - utterly primal～
✨Highlights
▪️ Lotus Village: Most densely packed stone area - wear bright colors for awesome photos!
▪️ Millstone Gully: A deep canyon trail with crystal-clear streams - perfect for kids to catch fish and collect stones

🌊 Fourth Stop: Pingshan Canyon
·
Pingshan is Enshi's must-visit! I call it "Hubei's Little Erhai" - like flowing jade!
✨Must-experience
▪️ Take a floating boat ride - boatmen will help capture perfect shots (wear light-colored dresses)
▪️ Walk the "Thread of Sky" trail where the canyon narrows to just 1 meter - cinematic views!
▪️ Catch sunset (best 4-5pm) when water turns golden - even the breeze carries gentle warmth～
