Just got back from Enshi and immediately writing this guide
Although my legs are sore from walking every day
My eyes and stomach were greatly satisfied~
Truly breathtakingly beautiful (but also really tough on the legs😭)!
The "Fairyland Hiking" and "Glass Sea Boating" that went viral on Xiaohongshu were all on the list
Also tried the local specialty foods! Quick tips!

⛰️【Must-Visit Attractions】
1️⃣ Wujia Tai Village Tea Mountain: Wujia Tai Tea Garden was once the tea garden of Emperor Qianlong, and Wujia Tai "Tribute Tea" became famous worldwide because of it
2️⃣ Luyuanping: A fairyland left by the gods, shrouded in mist after rain, like a wonderland
3️⃣ Qingjiang Butterfly Cliff: A 5-hour round trip by boat, featuring a huge naturally formed cliff shaped like a butterfly resting on the river surface
4️⃣ Pingshan Canyon: China's version of "Semporna" with a transparent glass sea! You must take the floating boat! The water is deep, emerald, and crystal clear. It gets murky on rainy days, so check the weather forecast in advance!
5️⃣ Shiziguan: Driving over the blue waves, feeling like traveling inside a painting; driving on the suspension bridge and car surfing are worth trying
6️⃣ Enshi Grand Canyon: A world geological wonder, a natural museum of karst landforms, starting with a 5-hour hike but totally worth it! A must-take photo spot

🍲【Food Highlights】
Zhangguan Hezha: A must-eat in Enshi, main dish is native chicken soup, with unlimited side dish refills!
Enshi Grilled Live Fish: Garlic grilled live fish: suitable for those who prefer original flavors or can't handle spicy food. Spicy grilled live fish: a must for spicy lovers

💡Tips:
✅ Attractions are scattered, so car rental or carpooling is recommended
✅ Mountain weather is changeable, bring umbrella + raincoat
✅ Enshi Grand Canyon: The most leg-taxing attraction, walked over 20,000 steps, so plan it for the last day. It’s recommended not to buy the uphill cable car ticket; walking uphill (45 minutes) offers beautiful scenery
✅ Tickets for each attraction are relatively expensive, you can choose to skip some spots
✅ Wear comfortable shoes! Wear comfortable shoes! Wear comfortable shoes!
