Enshi Chapter: Tujia Daughter City Guide | Practical Guide for Visiting ||| Eat, Drink, Play, and Enjoy in Daughter City
Daughter City can be considered a business card of Enshi. If you want to experience Tujia culture, coming to Daughter City is definitely the right choice. Friends from other places, take note, the most fun days in Daughter City are during the Daughter Festival from the 7th to the 12th of the seventh lunar month every year. In addition to the regular Tujia cultural performances, during the Daughter Festival, there will be even more Tujia folk performances, such as walking on knife ladders and through fire, Tujia grass dragon, Tujia Splashing Dragon Festival, Daughter Festival matchmaking, sending off brides, Tujia antiphonal singing, blocking the door with wine, Ten Sisters, and so on. The annual Tujia Daughter Festival is not to be missed!
For tourists from other places, the best way to enjoy Daughter City is to stay overnight, as the regular performances are mainly in the afternoon and evening, which are especially lively. The public buses in Enshi stop running quite early, and the buses near Daughter City stop around 7 pm, while the most attractive event for tourists, 'Market Matchmaking. Daughter Festival,' starts at 8 pm. After the performance, if you want to leave by taxi, it usually gets very congested, so it's better to stay in the city for the night. In the morning, there are fewer visitors in Daughter City, and it's also very comfortable to stroll around the city. In addition to folk experiences such as sitting in a sedan chair and watching performances, there are naturally plenty of delicious snacks. Apart from the various snacks on the main street, there is also a dedicated snack street to the south of the city, with fragrant oil, Tujia corn cakes, Enshi tofu skin, Jianshi pancakes, roasted potatoes, steamed cakes, roasted glutinous rice cakes... everything you could want, and you're sure to find something to your taste. I especially recommend the roasted glutinous rice cakes in front of the Tujia Folk Customs Museum; the handmade cakes are grilled and then filled with brown sugar, white sugar, and soybean flour, which is incredibly fragrant, and only costs two yuan. Compared to the eight yuan I spent on a plain cake in Ciqikou, this is both delicious and affordable. Daughter City also has sugar paintings that children love, and when leaving, don't forget to take a few boxes of peach slice cakes that both the elderly and children love to eat. For regular meals, you can choose Zhang Guan Hezha or Honghu Yijue to experience Enshi-style hot pot, and I particularly want to recommend the lotus root soup from Honghu Yijue. If you want to experience the 'bowl-throwing wine,' you can choose Baren Hall, where you can watch performances while eating.

Enshi daughter city set eating and drinking, happy to play, from the city center taxi cost less than 20 yuan, here can eat a lot of specialties, so cute rich potato must taste. This is the commercial street of the newly built antique building complex in recent years, which enriches the amusement life of the city. It has not been completely completed. It has joined a lot of Tujia folk culture. The surrounding sanitary environment really needs to be improved.
Men in the world are the first city of the world's daughter. Enshi Tujia Daughter City, China, is located in Qiliping, Enshi City, Hubei Province. It is a national Tujia culture gathering place, and also a city entertainment consumption center and tourism distribution center in Wuling area. As the eighth person in the country to build an ancient town, Tujia Daughter City reasonably and carefully planned the overall architectural style, antique and Tujia hanging foot building combined, reflecting the folk customs of the Tujia family.
In fact, it is a commercial street, full of antique buildings, here are all selling food and renting clothes to take pictures. Tourists are hustle and bustle, basically tourists from tour groups, the ground is not very clean, and there are few trash cans. There are also performances here, but all people are surrounded and can't see clearly. It's okay to eat snacks casually, the price is slightly more expensive, and the scenery is nothing to see!
Just eat a simple meal place, no charge for parking on the side of the road
20220807 afternoon: 1. The bus is directly accessible. The parking lot is not small but it may not be able to stop. During the daughter meeting (Tujia Valentine's Day), the daughter is crowded in the city. It is super blocked at night. It is easy to take a taxi or call a taxi to take a intersection on the street. Because the car can't drive in at night. The scenic spot is a Tujia style commercial street. The red lanterns sway with the wind. There are photo spots everywhere. The photo shops and beautiful women wearing Tujia costumes can be seen everywhere. The Tujia buildings throughout the park become a beautiful scenery. During the daughter's meeting, it will be upgraded to a temple fair and admission is free. 2. In terms of amusement facilities, it is mainly concentrated in the "Daughter City Amusement Park" in the south, the adjacent "Daughter City Love Sea" (there are large amusement facilities. The broadcast said that there was a program in the evening, but it was not confirmed) and the "Daughter City Ocean Park" in the northeast corner, but I only looked at the door at all three places and didn't go in. There are many folk craftsmen on the main street, the sugar blowers and the face people attract many tourists to stop, the latter is the most amazing, the works are tourists themselves, the clothes and appearance are very impressive. 3. In terms of catering, restaurants are all over the city, the decoration is Tujia style, there are generally performance stations in the lobby, many of which are in cooperation with travel agencies; The two east-west streets on the north side of the parking lot are quiet and elegant compared to the mess around the stalls. I tasted the bean curd (5 yuan a small bowl, the taste is OK), ice powder (the taste is OK, the main purpose is to enter the store to escape the heat) and "fat intestines bagged onion" (fat intestines taste good, but the bite is not moving), the rest of the snacks are night market traditional projects have no special features. In addition, the price limit measures in the scenic spot are I have never seen before, and I am quite sincere. 4. In terms of accommodation, the homestays are all over the scenic spot. 5. Landscape, the daughter city signboard at the entrance of Gate 1 in the west, the small lake waterwheel landscape next to it, the "Bronze Statue of the Salt Water Goddess" in the center (in the hearts of the Tujia family, the salt water goddess is the goddess of the status after the goddess of the king), "Tujia Folk Museum" (Introduce all aspects of the customs of the Tujia and the furnishings of the home) and "The most Chufei Cultural Street" (the customs of the Tujia people of all ages are displayed in the form of bronze statues on the street. The "Yuyou Cultural Museum" on the street is not open) are photo spots. Various small landscapes are scattered throughout the park, such as the banana tree in the south, which makes people feel like they are in Hainan. Many merchants in the city have set up Tujia customs and furnishings in the store, so they can't figure out which are the official attractions and which are the shops. 6. In terms of the program, there is a singing and dancing performance at the bronze statue of the goddess of saltwater around 19:00, and at 19:20 there is a lion dance performance on the wooden stake next to it (the lion dance is a child, you can stuff the banknotes into the lion's head to pray, the lion dance will last for a long time). The main drama is the "daughter meeting" (blind date meeting) on the northernmost side of "sheba street", similar to the model of "if you are not disturbed", the three layers of the audience under the stage are particularly lively, the guests are very real and not childcare, the first four male guests to see only the first pair of hands successfully held hands. 7. During the festival, the daughter city will increase bus shifts. The commercial atmosphere of the scenic spot is slightly stronger. When I left, I met the grandmother who sold lotus root on the bamboo raft. Her smile made me feel the simplicity and sincerity of the Tujia family. At this time, the tour ended and it took4.5 hours.
