Enshi Prefecture Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Enshi Grand Canyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
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 Grand Canyon, National Geographic didn't lie to me, it's super beautiful~
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).

Enshi, Hubei, is the best place to experience outdoor mountain climbing and natural oxygen bars
🏨 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 ancient salt-salt road was formed at the end of the Neolithic Age. It is more than 4,000 years old. Its origins can be traced back to prehistoric times. It is the old road to the south bank of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and the first road for ancient humans to go to the world from the heart of Enshi. The husband is the most important role in the economic and trade exchanges on the salt roads of Bagu. Nowadays, the scenes have also recreated the performance of the back salt, giving visitors a chance to peep into the history of the old days.

The biggest feature of the scenic spot in the Enshi Dixin Valley is the odd. The mountains, rocks, valleys and waters here are amazing. At the same time, this is also a good place for taking pictures and concave shapes...

Enshi Tusi City - Decide whether to visit after reading this
Overall, Enshi Tusi City is a modern newly constructed complex of ancient-style buildings, which feels more like a park than a scenic spot. First, there is the grand ancient-style gate of the scenic area, where you can check in and take photos. Unfortunately, not only is the gate crowded with people coming and going, but there are also many cars parked, which is a pity. Next, there are small bridges over flowing water, similar to those in ordinary parks, and a theater is under construction on the road (there should be song and dance performances in the future, perhaps the scenic area also realizes that there is too little content). Then you will pass by the Linjun Temple - a temple for worshipping the ancient leaders of the Tujia people (climbing many stairs only to find it's exactly the same as in the Enshi State Museum). Finally, you arrive at the core part of the scenic area - the Jiujin Hall.
The exterior of Jiujin Hall is surrounded by red walls and black tiles in the style of ancestral halls, with a magnificent design and two fierce-looking statues on each side. There are also sculptures commonly seen in ancient tombs called 'women opening doors,' the meaning of which is unclear. Inside Jiujin Hall is a wooden Tujia stilt house, resembling a castle, with a grand scale and a height of dozens of meters. From the highest point, you can overlook the entire Jiujin Hall. The architectural structure here is exquisite, with white walls and black tiles arranged in a harmonious pattern. It is a replica of an ancient Tusi mansion and is the only part of the scenic area that I think is worth the price of admission.

4A level scenic spot, a must-visit attraction in the Enshi urban area, I think it's more distinctive than the Daughter City, with all the buildings being antique replicas.
⭐️How to play: You can choose to rent ethnic costumes inside, 20 yuan with no time limit. You can also hire a photographer for about 200 yuan.
The wind and rain bridge, city wall, and Jiujin Hall are all worth visiting.

Enshi Suobuya Stone Forest Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
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.

Enshi Suobuya Stone Forest Self-Driving Camping Guide
Suobuya Stone Forest includes four major scenic areas: Qinglongtai, Lianhuazhai, Mozigou, and Jiulonghui, each with its own characteristics. The entire stone forest is like an underwater maze, very beautiful. The natural environment within the scenic area is beautiful and ecological. Online introductions suggest a playtime of three to four hours, but if you have the time, it's worth bringing snacks and immersing yourself for a whole day.
🗓 Itinerary:
For friends who, like me, are self-driving on a budget, I suggest driving directly to the Suobuya Stone Forest parking lot after coming down from other scenic areas or the highway the day before. Look for the highest position, where there is a mountain spring water pipe. Self-driving friends have conducted water quality tests, and it's even better than the water at home, so you can drink it with confidence. The next morning at 8 am, you can avoid the crowd peak, buy a ticket to enter the mountain, and take beautiful photos.
⏳ Playtime:
Normally 3-4 hours, but if you like, wandering around for a whole day won't be boring.
📝 Tips:
The parking lot I recommend for overnight stays usually has other self-driving vehicles, so it won't be too lonely, but it's not a dedicated self-driving campsite. The restroom requires a trip to the entrance of the scenic area, about a 10-minute walk back and forth.
