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.
