Beautiful city of Jianshi,

The beautiful city of Jianshi is one of the most overlooked cities in China. This city is relatively isolated, mostly due to the mountainous landscape, that has limited the investment and development of this area. Which is more surprisingly, during epidemic in Hubei, most mountainous towns didn’t even presented a single case of COVID. It’s quite uncommon to see any tourists, transportation access is limited to railway. However, this also implies Jianshi county has an amazing area of virgin forests. This area is inhabited mostly by the Tujia and Miao minorities. Most common meal is hot pot, finding a coffee is almost impossible. This is due the very traditional lifestyle followed by the residents. However, once you reach you feel like jumping back in time, to traditional Chinese culture. The diversity of herbs available for tea 🍵 makes every drink a pleasant experience. 📍Jianshi county, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei province Fast train from Shanghai: 9 hours #china #chinatravel #jianshi #enshi #hubei #citylife #explorer #urbanexplorer #happylaborday #maydaytrip #historicculture #cityoverlook #ancientarchitecture#historicculture
