Aizhai Wonders Tourist Area

4.0/5

Excellent

The Aizhai Bridge scenic area, Dehang Miao Village, and the Grand Canyon are included in a package ticket. The Aizhai Bridge is definitely worth a visit; it's a world wonder. The high-altitude swing and bungee jumping activities inside the bridge are relatively expensive. After visiting the Aizhai Bridge, drive to Dehang Miao Village at the bottom of the Grand Canyon and the Liusha Waterfall within the canyon. The Aizhai Highway is also known as one of China's top ten must-drive highways. A leisurely 20-minute drive will take you to the bottom of the canyon, where there are many farmhouses and restaurants. After lunch, continue a few kilometers to Dehang Miao Village. During the National Day holiday, parking inside the Miao Village is limited; vehicles can be parked in the outdoor parking lot, and a free shuttle bus is available. The scenery of Dehang Miao Village isn't particularly stunning, but it does have the Liusha Waterfall. It's about 4 kilometers from the village entrance. If you don't want to walk, you can take an electric cart for 18 yuan per person. After getting off the cart, walk about 700 meters along the stream to the waterfall. The most distinctive feature of Dehang Miao Village is its drum performance, which is held twice a day, around 7 PM and 3 PM. After visiting the scenic area, you can return to Jishou city or Fenghuang Ancient Town without taking a long route (Aizhai Mountain Road). Just follow the valley floor out of the canyon; it's all flat with no uphill sections. It takes about 40 minutes to get to Jishou city and about 1.5 hours to get to Fenghuang Ancient Town.
