Buying 370 tickets is still less. The whole journey is less than 2w steps. Most of the stairs are flat. It is much easier to go up and down the mountain than many places. There is a hotel in Qixingzhai. It is a good choice to stay at the hotel for one night. You can also watch the sunrise.
MoreEnshi Grand Canyon National 5A Scenic Area and National Geopark is a world-renowned "natural museum" of composite karst landforms with "ground fissures, cenotes and rock pillars" coexisting at the same time. Its ecological environment is unique, and its natural scenery is primitive and simple, with a gallery of ten thousand meters of cliffs, a thousand-foot waterfall, hundreds of unique peaks, and ten miles of deep ravines. Yunlong Ground Fissure is called "the beautiful scar of the earth"; "One Incense Stick" was rated as one of the 40 famous scenic spots in China by foreign media.
Yunlong ground seam
Yunlong Ground Fissure Scenic Area covers an area of 11.3 square kilometers and has an altitude of 600-800 meters. The main landforms in the scenic area include ground fissures, waterfalls, deep pools, karst caves, underground rivers, pictographic stones, and geological profiles. Yunlong Ground Fissure is zigzag-shaped in plane, extending nearly north-south, with a total length of 3.6 kilometers, an average depth of 75 meters, and an average width of 15 meters. The river valley is deep and the bank is steep. It is known as the "ten-mile and hundred-foot cliff". It is the main sightseeing area of Yunlong Ground Fissure Scenic Area. The two walls of Yunlong Ground Fissure are steep and nearly parallel, and the width is basically the same from top to bottom. The cross section is "U"-shaped, which is extremely rare and unique.
A stick of incense
Karst stone pillars. A stick of incense is a landmark of the Enshi Grand Canyon and a very rare landscape among similar karst landforms. A stick of incense is 150 meters high, with a diameter of 6 meters at the bottom and a minimum diameter of only 4 meters. Its rock type is Triassic limestone. Because the strata here are horizontal, and the rock has a high compressive strength (800 kg/cm3), and there is no tilt or slip, it cannot be moved by the wind or knocked down by the rain. It has stood proudly among the peaks for tens of millions of years, guarding this mysterious land, which is rare.
Cliff plank road
The Cliff Plank Road, also known as Buyuntian Plank Road and Cliff Corridor, was built in August 2006 and took 1 year and 8 months to complete. The plank road is located on the mountainside of the vertical cliff on the east side of the mountain, with an altitude of about 1,700 meters, a total length of 488 meters, a height difference of 300 meters, and 118 stone steps. It is integrated with the mountain cliffs. Because the plank road is built on the cliff, some people call it the Cliff Corridor, or the "Cliff Plank Road". The project is a combination of the manufacturing technology of the ancient Bashu plank road with modern reinforced concrete building materials and advanced construction technology. It is scientific, safe, and magnificent.
Welcome Song
The Welcoming Pine, which is estimated to be nearly a thousand years old, grows proudly on the cliff, as if opening its arms to welcome tourists from all over the world.

Decided to come to a walk-and-go trip, so set off on a self-driving trip to Hubei. Every trip was at least half a month in advance, and this time it was arranged during the trip. I saw the pleasant scenery of Enshi on TV earlier and decided to go. Arriving at the Luxi Hotel near the Enshi Grand Canyon Scenic Area is about 8 pm. The boss and his family are very simple and enthusiastic. They guide a shortcut to enter the scenic spot behind the hotel. You don't need to drive to the parking lot and put the car in the hotel, so that we can play smoothly and quickly the next day. I read the online reviews before and said that Qixingzhai and Yunlong Ground Seam two attractions need 7-8 hours, which is very time-consuming and physical, so we are ready to play for a day. Book a ticket for 370 on Trip.com, including all traffic in the scenic spot, reducing walking time. At 8 o'clock the next morning, we reached the ground cable car along the route guided by the boss. As the first tourists, we took the cable car up the mountain and then took the cableway to continue up. After getting off the cableway, you need to walk. There are signs all the way, the cliff plank road is a bit afraid of heights, but the scenery all the way is good. At 9:50, I arrived at a musk, and started to go down the mountain after taking pictures and punching in. After walking for a while, I reached the Qixingzhai hand-held elevator. Take the 9 escalators and then transfer to the scenic bus to the bottom of the mountain. Walking to the entrance of Yunlong ground seam is 11:20. Continue to play the Yunlong ground seam. There are not many tourists, and it took about an hour to reach the ground seam vertical elevator back to the ground. Then walk to the ground cable car and take the cable car back to the visitor center. Returning to the hotel along the original road is 13:30, the whole journey is 5 hours.
The booking package was so unclear that it was thought to be included, and the ticket was still filled. The introduction of the scenic spot is not humane enough, especially the three small fashions up the mountain, but the mountain thinks that you can use transportation. As a result, there is still a long way to go down the mountain to the transportation, so that in the end, the staff waited for the off-duty, before going down to the sightseeing car. That delayed all staff's work.
Traveled during May Day. The parking lot was blocked during the holidays and it took more than half an hour. It’s okay to not buy the ropeway in Qixingzhai. My physical strength is particularly poor for about an hour, and others have climbed up in basically 40 minutes. On rainy days, the mountains are foggy and you can't see anything. Holiday travel must arrive early, there are a lot of people in the afternoon.
Yesterday, I bought 2 Enshi Grand Canyon 187 yuan packages on Trip.com, a total of 374 yuan. I didn’t carefully understand the content of the package. The first time I went to Enshi Grand Canyon, I thought that the package included the cost of all the projects such as two attractions and cable cars. When I queued up to the ropeway, I only knew that the cost of the ropeway was not included, and I bought 2 ropeway tickets for 210 yuan on the spot. The experience of visiting Enshi Grand Canyon is: 1. Enshi Grand Canyon, known as the Chinese version of the "Grand Canyon of Colorado", the valley is deep and quiet, cliffs, waterfalls and lagoons, marveling at the magical work of nature! A worthwhile trip. 2. Unless your physical strength and endurance are super, you can walk to the bottom of the 75-meter Yunlong ground seam valley, and you can crawl to the ground, crawl from Qixingzhai to the highest peak of 1700 meters - a musk, and then pick up the steps from a musk to the visitor center, so you are definitely Chu Qiao among tourists! Otherwise, the vertical elevator in the Yunlong ground seam will let you climb 700 steps less. The cable car and the scenic bus must take. The ropeway of Qixingzhai will help you relax a lot. The escalator with a full length of 688 meters and a height of 1642 meters is more worth experiencing. The premise is that you can walk down the mountain from a musk to experience the escalator. If you walk from a musk to the tourist service point, choose to take the ropeway down the mountain, you lose the opportunity to take the escalator.
Enshi Grand Canyon is still very spectacular, all kinds of traffic mixed, first take the rail car from the visitor center to the ropeway station, take the uplink cableway to the Qixingzhai scenic spot, walk for about 3 hours, go up and down the steps, then take the escalator down, take the Jingjiao bus to the visitor center. Walk to the entrance of Yunlong Ground Seam Canyon, walk for 2 hours to visit, then take the vertical sightseeing elevator out of the canyon, walk 20 minutes back to the visitor center. I have good leg and leg endurance and I spent 7 hours.
I made a strategy before, so I went to Tusi City and Daughter City on the first day of arrival in Enshi. The next day I went to Pingshan Grand Canyon. The third day I went to Enshi Grand Canyon. Although I bought a ropeway ticket, we still chose to climb up from the Qixingzhai cliff plank road on foot. I saw the beautiful sea of clouds. It took about six or seven hours to walk the whole journey. Although it was a bit of a leg, it was worth it.
