Five-Day Tour in Enshi, a Real Experience of a Summer Resort Secret

I've found a natural air-conditioned room at 25°C! Enshi is simply a dreamland to escape the heat! Mountain streams and waterfalls, cliff faces, ancient villages over a thousand years old... every snapshot looks like a scene from a fantasy drama! I've painstakingly compiled a 5-day travel guide, quickly save it!

📍Attraction addresses: Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province, with attractions scattered across Enshi City, Jianshi County, Xuan'en County, and other places

🚗Transportation to attractions:
✈️Flight: Direct flight to Enshi Xujiaping Airport, very close to the city center;
🚗Self-driving: Suitable for experienced drivers, be careful of many mountain curves;
🚌Public transport: Attractions are far apart, bus frequency is low and slow, it is recommended to charter a car (100-150 RMB per person per day) or join a local small group tour, which is more convenient and time-saving!

👍Must-visit attractions:
✅Luyuanping: A paradise for hikers! The crevice waterfall is stunning, and you can check in at a century-old Tujia village. Few people and beautiful scenery make every photo perfect! Remember to wear non-slip shoes, some sections are a bit wild~
✅Fuer Mountain: Feel like you're in Xinjiang! Grasslands, fir forests, and flocks of sheep all in one place, photos come with a cinematic filter naturally. Recommended to visit in the afternoon for amazing light and shadow effects!
✅Jigongling Via Ferrata: Adrenaline-pumping cliff climbing! Beginners can also try it, but be sure to wear long pants! Safe and thrilling, not recommended for those afraid of heights!
✅Pengjia Village: The Tujia stilted buildings are incredibly photogenic! Rent ethnic costumes (30-50 RMB) and instantly get heritage-style photos!

🎟️Ticket information:
Luyuanping 80 RMB, Fuer Mountain free, Jigongling Via Ferrata 200+ RMB, Pengjia Village 90 RMB, student discounts available! It is recommended to buy the Enshi Tourism Annual Pass (around 200 RMB), which is valid for multiple attractions and more cost-effective!

💗Other tips:
1️⃣Never visit Pingshan Canyon on rainy days! The water becomes turbid, check the weather in advance before going;
2️⃣Enshi Grand Canyon is very tiring! Split the visit into two days and bring trekking poles, or you’ll be exhausted the next day;
3️⃣Choose the left side seats on the Qingjiang River cruise! The bow is the best spot to photograph Butterfly Rock;
4️⃣Signal is weak in the mountains, bring some cash as backup; bright-colored jackets and non-slip shoes are essential for both photography and warmth;
5️⃣If you have enough time, stay overnight at Luyuanping! Watch the Milky Way and listen to birdsong, the healing power is maximized!

The beauty of Enshi is hidden in every breath of the mountains and wilderness! This summer, quickly invite your friends to become “mountain youth” together!
