Pingshan Canyon, Enshi: a New Dimension? 😱🤩
#2024wish
In 2023, one of my biggest travel dreams was to visit Enshi, China. I’d been dreaming of it for more than 3 years! 🏞️
When I finally got the chance to go in 2023, it was EVERYTHING I had dreamed of! The first place we visited was Pingshan Canyon: where the water is invisible! 😶🌫️
Well it’s not REALLY invisible…but it’s so clear, that boats on the river surface appear to be floating on thin air! 🛶
The waters are naturally a vivid turquoise color. Stone structures take on shapes unlike anything you’ve seen before! 🦋🩵
It really feels as if you’re in another dimension; everything is so colorful and otherworldly. It will take your breath away! 🫣
Enshi should definitely be on EVERY China traveler’s 2024 bucket list!!

Mu'er Mountain Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Muer Mountain Sightseeing Tea Garden: The white mist is like a light gauze, and the tea mountains are like a jade sea
After a spring rain, the mist rises in the Muer Mountain Sightseeing Tea Garden in Zouma Town, Hefeng County, Hubei Province, located in the western mountains of Hubei. The white mist is like a light gauze, and the tea mountains are like a jade sea, presenting a beautiful tea countryside scroll. Muer Mountain is named after the wood ear mushrooms that grow on the white chestnut trees in the mountains. The beauty of Muer Mountain lies in its tea gardens, in the grandeur of the tea gardens, in the sunrise and sunset of the tea gardens, in the 'silver snake' dance of the mountains in the tea gardens, and in the freshness and etherealness of the tea gardens throughout the four seasons. No one can resist its beauty, and no one can avoid being captivated by it. This place cleanses the soul. This place also brings heartless joy.
