    Lianhuazhai Square is the core tourist area of ​​the Suobuya Stone Forest Scenic Area. Most tour groups only visit the two sub-attractions within Lianhuazhai before stopping. Unlike independent travelers, who have more time to explore Qinglongzhai at the innermost part of the scenic area and Jiulongtan (near the visitor center) together, Lianhuazhai offers a different experience. The most photogenic spot in Lianhuazhai is undoubtedly Rhinoceros Gully, which is truly picturesque. Taking photos during the off-season when there are fewer crowds will undoubtedly result in even better photos.

    The boat trip to Daqingjiao is highly recommended; the five-hour journey offers beautiful, picturesque riverside scenery. The weather was great the day we went, and since it was off-season, it wasn't crowded. You can order food or bring your own.

    Many areas were under renovation and inaccessible, but overall it was still a nice place to stroll around. The area isn't large, and the city tower offers a panoramic view of the entire Tusi City. The ticket price was also reasonable.

    The scenery is absolutely stunning. I went at the end of November, and the 66 hairpin turns from Aokou took less than two and a half hours, including rest stops. The slope is quite steep, so it's a bit of a challenge for your heart, lungs, and stamina. If you don't have your own car, I recommend starting from Baidi City. It's only a few kilometers more, because it's very inconvenient to get a taxi from the city center to Aokou (except for those who take the scenic area bus directly from the high-speed rail station).

    I departed Baidi City amidst colorful clouds at dawn, A thousand miles to Jiangling in a single day. The cries of monkeys on both banks never ceased, My light boat had already passed countless mountains. Baidi City boasts beautiful scenery, and the overall hiking difficulty is not high. The occasional orange grove added a touch of charm.

    I went to Pingshan Grand Canyon that day, but I couldn't buy a ticket. It was very popular. When I arrived at Luyuanping, I found that it was really an underestimated market paradise. The people were very simple. It has not been overdeveloped and still retains some of the atmosphere of the original village. I will definitely come again.

    Autumn is not a continuation of the full glory of summer, but rather a halfway point of inward growth. The autumn in Enshi Grand Canyon perfectly unfolds the concept of "half"—the cliffs are half-hidden in the clouds and mist, the autumn leaves are half-yellow and half-green, and the mountain fruits are half-ripe and hanging from the branches. Everything is calm and orderly, unhurried and unhurried.

    The water in the Wushan Gorge is greener than the Yangtze River, and the bridges of various shapes leave a particularly deep impression. The mountains on both sides are lush and green (turning red or yellow in winter), and you can also see hanging coffins.

    You can drive into the scenic area. The speed limit is 20 km/h throughout. The famous "Instagrammable" bridge has been renovated. We went through it twice. Then we took some photos on the mountain. After crossing the "Instagrammable" bridge, the subsequent water crossing felt even more thrilling and interesting.

    Tenglong Cave is one of the earlier scenic spots, with rich and varied landscapes and well-developed facilities. The most recommended attraction is the large-scale song and dance performance "Yishui Lichuan," which allows you to understand the migration and changes of the Tujia people in 40 minutes and provides you with rich cultural insights.
