    "The world is a beautiful fairyland, and there is also an atmosphere in the rain. Come with friends, the trip is more than 1,000 kilometers, it is worthwhile. It is recommended to swim the ground seam first, so as to save physical strength, and then swim the Qixing Village, you will not be tired. Many people swim the Qixing Village first, and they don't want to swim the ground when they are tired after going down the mountain."

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 roadThe 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.

It is scientific, safe, and magnificent. Welcome SongThe 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.

    "The ghosts and craftsmanship of nature are very magical. I came here during the eleventh period. Although it was a holiday, because it was near the end and the weather was a little rainy, there were not too many people and not too few. It was just right. It arrived at less than 3 o'clock. In order, I first saw the water hole and then visited the dry hole. In fact, I am a little afraid of the cave, but the dry hole is indeed very big, so the experience is good, the dry hole 10 yuan battery car round trip, the battery car at the innermost end of the battery car has to walk more than 2 kilometers to the back hole, and I gave up. The battery car can cover some shallow viewing tours, which is shocking enough. There are not many people performing songs and dances. I went to the neighborhood to eat something before I sat down to watch the performance. The performance for an hour was very fulfilling. Historical changes, Tujia instruments, traditional folk songs, acrobatics, began a drum music and ended music joy is still very infectious. The actors will also go down to the audience to simply interact in the middle of the performance. The overall feeling is still full of sincerity and worth enjoying. We chartered a car from Enshi. The scenery along the way was very beautiful and the clouds were lingering. The journey itself was particularly worth admiring."
