Enshi | Rated as the most beautiful place by *Chinese National Geographic*.

‼️‼️If time allows, be sure to visit during the off-season to avoid the crowds and enjoy the scenery! Enshi Grand Canyon is rightly called the most beautiful scar on Earth! Although people who have been there have mixed reviews, regardless of the evaluation, you still have to go there yourself. Before the summer vacation is over, arrange a trip quickly. 📍Enshi Grand Canyon, 60 km from Enshi city. 🚘Buses depart daily from Enshi Folk Custom Street, Passenger Transport Station, and Railway Station. The fare is 25, and the journey takes 1.5 hrs. Folk Custom Street departures: 7:30am, 8:30am, 9:30am, 11:00am, 2:30pm Passenger Transport Station departures: 6:30am–6:30pm Railway Station departures: 7:40am, 9:40am Return buses from the Grand Canyon to the city also run from 6:30am–6:30pm . ⛰The scenic area is divided into two parts: Qixingzhai and Yunlong Ground Seam. Qixingzhai features cliff walkways, strangely shaped pines and rocks, and the Pillar of Incense. The Ground Seam features waterfalls and underground rivers. You can see it all in one day. 🎫Tickets Qixingzhai 105 (required), Yunlong Ground Seam 50 (required), cable car uphill 105 (optional), ground cable car round trip 30 (required), sightseeing bus 20 (required), Qixingzhai exit down escalator 30 (optional), Ground Seam exit up elevator 30 (optional) ⭐️It is recommended to choose the 370 package, which includes all transportation, and is also required for my route. . 🌀Tour route Arrive early at the visitor center > take the ground cable car > take the Qixingzhai cable car up the mountain > hike [Entrance Stone → One Line Sky → Cliff Walkway → Echo Valley → Stone Elephant Ridge → Auspicious Cloud Torch → Canyon Crocodile → Daloumen Peak + Welcoming Pine → Pillar of Incense → Twin Towers → Mother and Child → Jade Brush Peak] > take the escalator down to the Qixingzhai exit > take the sightseeing bus to the transfer center > have lunch > walk to the Yunlong Ground Seam entrance > walk along the valley floor to the end > take the elevator up to the ground > walk back to the transfer center > take the ground cable car > return to the visitor center. . 🍃Summary ✔️The Qixingzhai hiking section is mostly downhill, and the Ground Seam hiking section is mostly flat. Hiking poles are not necessary in my opinion. ✔️The best parts of Qixingzhai are: Pillar of Incense, Daloumen Peak, Auspicious Cloud Torch. ✔️The best parts of the Ground Seam are: Misty Space, the last large viewing platform. ✔️I don't think the prices on the mountain are too high, so you don't need to carry too much water. Pack light. ✔️Depart early from the city. If you are on a day trip, you can catch the last bus back at 6:30pm. .
