Enshi Prefecture Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Enshi Grand Canyon Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
we started from cable car down to up station and did 6k on the top of the ridge until escalators. followed by few kilometers bus ride from escalator down station to cable car down station back. then walked down the stairs to follow the green path on the bottom of the valley. all together 15 km GPS measured was gold. highly recommended for hiking lovers !
The Grand Canyon is approximately 2 hours by car from Enshi. The total trek is around 10 kilometres and takes around 4-5 hours. Do take the cable car as it covers a lo of grounds over a not very scenic part of the mountains. There are plenty of food stalls along the way for u to fuel up

Enshi five-day tour self-driving route recommended!
Enshi is located at the intersection of Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou provinces. It is cold in winter and cold in summer. It has abundant rainfall and abundant four seasons. The most famous one is Enshi Grand Canyon, but there are many small attractions. Shaojingmei, hurry to Mark
Itinerary recommendation:
D1 Arrival, live in Enshi Grand Canyon
D2 Enshi Grand Canyon Qixingzhai, Yunlong Ground, "Dragon Boat Tune" live performance
D3 Golden Cave, Tangya Toast City, Live Tree House
D4 Enshiping Dam Camp, Sidongxia
D5 Return
Transportation:
1 There are not many flights directly to Enshi. If there is no direct flight to Enshi in your city, you can consider going to Wuhan and then taking a train to Enshi.
2 After you get to Enshi, you can pick up your car and drive. Since there are many mountain roads, it is recommended to purchase the whole car insurance at the same time.
3 If you encounter thunderstorms in summer, you should pay attention to the road conditions in time, there may be mudslides or landslides leading to road closures.
:
1 Enshi Grand Canyon is divided into two main scenic spots: Yunlong and Qixingzhai. The upper seven-star village can take the cable car, and there are also hand-held elevators to go down the mountain. The entire scenic area is very large. There are no attractions in the two sections of the mountain and the downhill. It is recommended to take the cable car to save energy and time.
2 "Dragon Boat Tune" is a folk song of Lichuan. The real performance is based on the love story of a pair of Tujia boys and girls in the Tusi era, describing their touching stories of breaking away from feudal ties and pursuing free love. The scene is spectacular and you can better understand the local culture.
3Tangya Tusi City is a late Ming Dynasty ruins. If you just think of yourself as a hillside, it is recommended to find a explanation.
4 The number of tree house hotels in Lupingbaying is limited. It is often full in the peak season during the summer vacation. It is recommended to book in advance.
Hotel recommendation:
Enshi Grand Canyon Daughter Village Hotel. Very close to the Grand Canyon, the rooms are large in size, with balconies facing the mountain and elegantly furnished. The hotel has breakfast available and is cost effective.
pingbaying tree house. As if living in a Nordic cabin, the air in the virgin forest is exceptionally good. The detached chalet is quiet and romantic, but the facilities are not luxurious, but clean and comfortable.
Sisters planning to visit Enshi for the May Day holiday, heed this advice! You must read this guide
May Day holiday lasts 4-5 days, and during this time, you can explore the culture and natural scenery here, which is absolutely stunning! The gorges, waterfalls⛰️, forests, streams🌳, and Tujia culture🏂 are truly worth the visit, as even National Geographic has recommended this less-traveled destination❗❗
Here's a 5-day, 4-night guide for you, sisters, rush for it this May Day❗
🚘Regarding transportation
🚄Enshi Station
✈️Xujiaping Airport
💥Tips: Both the train station and airport are located in Enshi city, making transportation very convenient.
🌈On the first afternoon, you can take a taxi directly to the Daughter City, where there are plenty of snacks and continuous ethnic performances, making it a perfect place for strolling and eating🤤
🌈On the second day, head straight to Pingshan Gorge to take a boat ride and take photos, experiencing the coolness of 'China's Semporna', and in the evening, go to see the night view of Xuanen, with Wenlan Bridge and Moda Tower offering great photo opportunities📷
🌈On the third day, set off for the Earth's Valley, where the valley floor is like a natural oxygen bar, and a walk around leaves you feeling refreshed and invigorated😎. In the afternoon, visit Suobuya Stone Forest, and be sure to wear a camisole with cargo pants, and bring sunglasses! I can only say I'm the coolest in the world🕶️
🌈On the fourth day, head to Enshi Grand Canyon, which is rightfully listed as a World Heritage site by the United Nations, truly spectacular! It does require a good level of fitness though, as the journey is mostly on foot🥾
🌈On the fifth day, you can visit the Tusi City, rent a set of ethnic clothing, and take amazing photos here! In the afternoon, you can take a car back home.
The scenery in Enshi is truly beautiful and worth it👍!! Here are some little 💥Tips:
1️⃣ The Enshi Grand Canyon requires a good level of fitness, so if you're not in a hurry, you can split the visit over two days, first visiting the Qixingzhai scenic area, and then the Yunlong Rift on the second day, which is more relaxing and can be completed in one morning.
2️⃣🌻If you're not big on photography, you can skip Tusi City. If you're interested in cultural stories, this spot might disappoint you.
3️⃣It's recommended to charter a car, carpool, or drive yourself when visiting Enshi, as the attractions are quite far apart. It's advisable to book a car in advance, as prices rise closer to May Day, and remember to shop around for a good deal.
Consider group tours carefully; although they save trouble, they're not as free as traveling on your own.
4️⃣Although Enshi's attractions are crowded, they're still better than other popular cities.‼️Be sure to go early to avoid peak times! Like us, we arrived at the entrance of the scenic area at seven or eight in the morning, try to avoid the travel groups' schedule, otherwise, you might queue for an hour at the entrance, which can be frustrating...
5️⃣Daughter City is just a commercial hub with snacks from all over the country.
Highly recommend renting a set of ethnic costumes for a photo shoot, there are plenty of rental shops, be sure to walk further inside‼️The deeper you go, the cheaper it gets, and there are fewer people in the shops! You can rent together with a few people, remember to bargain with the shop owner.
6️⃣It's best to book tickets in advance to avoid the situation of running out of tickets. For example, when we were planning to visit Pingshan Grand Canyon, the scenic area announced the day before that the reservation was full and no more tickets would be sold. However, we still went to the site and bought student tickets, and since we arrived early, we actually got the tickets. The online notice is probably to limit the number of visitors, but to be safe, it's best to buy in advance~

Enshi Suobuya Stone Forest Scenic Area Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
There was an interesting story about how the place got its name. Legend goes in ancient time, the King of Xiang united five different tribes of Ba people and became their captain. One day he came across a place with three strategically significant mountain passes in a row. So the captain named this place “Suobuya”, because in Ba language, “sobu” means“three”and“ya” means “mountain pass”.
Suobuya stone forest, its limestone sediments formed more than 460 million years ago, corded by water, gradually developed into different layers with horizontal textures.
#hiking#nationalpark#roadtrip#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
Brief Introduction. Suobuya stone forest is the world's first Ordovician stone forest and is an AAAA grade China national tourist attraction. It is located 54km north to Enshi City, Hubei province in central China. ... And this is what distinguishes itself outside the other karst formations in southwest China.
There are more than 100 classic natural scenes in the Suobuya Stone Forest. The Orsun Co. which is the operator and developer of Suobuya would invest 15 billion Yuan to upgrade the Suobuya Stone Forest scenic area. At present, there are four main scenic spots open to the public. They are Qinglong temple, Lianhua village, Mozi Gully and Jiulonghui. Each scenic spot has its own characteristics and fossils were often found here, it is truly an amazing natural ancient geological landscape museum. Besides, many attractions centered on sports and adventure will also be available. Tourists will get a chance to explore the stone forest and the river valley. In addition, scientific educational attractions like the 4D cinema and fossil museum will be built. Suobuya offers both beautiful natural scenery and fascinating folk custom. Twenty nine ethnic groups including the Tujia, Miao and Dong have created a colorful and splendid ethnic culture around this area.
#hiking#nationalpark#loveflowers#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer
A natural wonder worth seeing
After arriving in Enshi, the Suobuya Stone Forest was not a planned must-see attraction for us, it was just that we had a day of free time, so we decided to check it out. After several days of tiring mountain climbing and wading, we thought we'd just take a casual stroll through the stone forest. Little did we expect the stone forest to be so stunning.

Enshi Travel Guide: Suobuya Stone Forest
Suobuya Stone Forest, known as the skirt of nature! Worth a visit! The key point is that it's not hot even in the scorching summer! Due to the dense layers of stone forest, there are many crevices where you can feel the cool and breathable air. The wind carries a hint of coolness, making it incredibly refreshing amidst the heat, just like having the air conditioning set to 19 degrees Celsius! TIPS:
1. It is advised not to bring a walking stick, as the terrain is quite uneven, and walking sticks are not very convenient.
2. Some places are really narrow, just enough for one person to pass through, but it's not so exaggerated that you can't carry a bag; a backpack is still OK.
3. Avoid long skirts, leather shoes, and holey shoes, they are not suitable. You'll understand how difficult it is once you go, speaking from experience...
4. There are places in the stone forest where you can buy cucumbers and drinks, so don't worry if you didn't bring enough water.
5. There are local dishes at the entrance, which are quite spicy. The smoked meat noodles are good, and the prices are all similar, as you would expect in a tourist area....
