Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture has a monsoon mountain climate, with no heat in summer, cold and little fog in winter and abundant rainfall.

Due to the complex terrain and great disparity in altitude, the average altitude in Enshi Prefecture is about 1000m, with the highest above 3,000m and the lowest above 60 m. There is a folk proverb that "low mountains are called valleys, while high mountains surround furnaces" and "a hundred miles are different from the sky and a hundred miles are different from customs". The temperature decreases with the elevation, with the lowest in 1 month and the highest in July.

Special reminder: Because Enshi Prefecture is rainy and foggy, and it is rainy and hot at the same time, traveling here is often affected by bad weather for several days. So it's best to avoid the rainy season and learn more about the local weather in advance.
