✅Guide to avoid pitfalls in accommodation
When traveling to Enshi, it is strongly recommended to choose a high-star hotel in the city! As a popular tourist destination and located in a mountainous area, the quality of B&Bs and hotels varies greatly. Don’t trust any accommodation that solicits customers near the train station. Although the prices may seem attractive, the actual environment is worse than you can imagine! Accommodation is tight during the May Day holiday, so be sure to book in advance!

🔥Tips for visiting Enshi
1⃣ Weather: Be sure to check the weather forecast before departure🌦, don’t go to Pingshan Canyon on rainy days! Rain will make the river water turbid, and the beautiful scenery of the "floating boat" will be greatly reduced.
2⃣ Outfit: There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Enshi, so be sure to carry a thick coat with you❄🔥; the sun is strong during the day, so sun protection clothing, sun hats, and sunscreen are essential☀.
3⃣ Equipment: Comfortable sports shoes are a must👟. Walking more than 20,000 steps a day is the norm. If you go to scenic spots such as canyons and stone forests, bringing trekking poles can make your trip a lot easier⛑!

💡 Core Tip: The scenic spots in Enshi are far apart and very scattered🚗. If you want to have fun and save time, self-driving or chartering a car is definitely the best choice!
