Although it is not often mentioned,
But it has many reputations:
"Little Tibet in Hubei"
"Shangri-La in Hubei"
"The legendary secret kingdom"
Also named as "the most beautiful fairyland in China" by CNN!
Chinese national geography named it "the most beautiful place in China"!
Yes, it is Enshi!
Go to Enshi, and walk carefully.
You will find that it is nothing like the earth,
This is obviously a fairyland, a paradise!
Spring in Enshi,
Distant mountains, such as Dai, near water, such as flowers!
In the summer of Enshi,
It's a natural air-conditioned room.
It is a veritable "cool capital of the world"!
Autumn in Enshi,
Both the maple forest and the fir forest are dyed,
The picture scroll is naturally beautiful!
Once known as "Kanas in the South"!
Winter in Enshi,
Snow-covered, symmetrical trees, and the scenery in the north,
It's like the Alps in China!
This secret border with Xiangxi and Chongqing,
It is the only minority autonomous prefecture in Hubei.
It has not only 29 simple ethnic minorities,
The beauty hidden in the depths of the secret realm is countless!
Because it is located in the middle of China,
Not as popular as Lijiang, Dali and Sanya.
But as beautiful as a girl hiding in a boudoir,
And so low-key, otherwise!
Enshi side,
There are two stoves in Wuhan and Chongqing.
But in the hot summer, it is as cool as spring!
The mountains and rivers of Enshi
Engshi Great Canyon
One of the most beautiful canyons in the world.
▼
Enshi Grand Canyon is known as "as close as Colorado Grand Canyon"! It is hidden in the magnificent mountains and is a section of the Qingjiang Grand Canyon, with a total length of about 108 km!
Enshi Grand Canyon contains almost all karst landforms: cliffs, peak columns, sinkholes, ground fissures, caves, natural bridges, underground rivers, shafts, stone forests, peak clusters and suspended valleys.
The scenery in the canyon is even more magnificent and shocking. Ten kilometers of ground fissures, hundreds of miles of cliffs, Zhang Qian Waterfalls, single mountains, virgin forests, ancient villages and other scenic spots are rare and beautiful.
▼ Cliff Promenade
In karst landforms, those with cliffs have no peaks, and those with peaks have no cliffs. It is a miracle to have both. Walking in the 300-meter-high cliff corridor, I was shaking shockingly.
▼ "A Incense"
One of the most striking signs of Enshi Grand Canyon is the "one wick of incense" as high as 100 meters, which stands proudly among the surrounding peaks and is very rare.
▼ Ground fissure sightseeing ladder
The Yunlong ground fissure sightseeing elevator in Enshi Grand Canyon, with a height of 130. 1 m, extends from the narrow ground fissure to the surface, like a ladder! You can see the mountains, water and scenery of the Grand Canyon.
▼ "The longest tourist elevator in China"
In addition to the ground fissure sightseeing elevator, there is also the "longest sightseeing elevator in China". The 688-meter-long sightseeing elevator was built according to the mountain situation and arranged in the shape of "Sigma". From a distance, it looks like Shan Ye lying in the black dragon, and its momentum is like a rainbow.
▼ Waterfalls and underground rivers
Waterfalls and underground rivers coexist in Enshi Grand Canyon. Waterfalls vary in size and height, forming a beautiful picture. In 2004, the Sino-French expedition announced that the underground river from Longqiao River in fengjie county to Enshi Grand Canyon in Chongqing was 50 kilometers long, the highest in the world.
Enshi has a complex terrain, and is known as the proverb "low mountains form valleys, high mountains surround furnaces" and "ten miles are different from the sky, and a hundred miles are different from customs". The temperature here is generally low, and it is cool even in summer.
▼ Cliff Ring Peak Group
Qiyueshan
The largest mountain grassland in southern China.
▼
Qiyue Mountain is the largest mountain grassland in southern China, and National Highway 3 18 passes through it. The most shocking thing about it is the beauty of walking on clouds. From a distance, you can't see its real panorama, only the top of the mountain where "Xiao He just shows its sharp corners". The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and then the graceful figure slowly emerged!
In summer, Qiyue Mountain is a natural summer resort, with green grass and flocks of cattle and sheep, as if you were in the pastoral scenery of Tuscany. Windmills, sea of clouds, sunset clouds and sunsets ... make up a charming picture!
Qiyue Mountain in winter, covered with a white coat, has become another beautiful scenery!
Location: West of Lichuan City, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province

Enshi's water
Pingshan gorge
A fairyland on earth as clear as a mirror.
▼
Many people know Enshi for the first time, perhaps because of Pingshan Canyon! The river as clear as a mirror, like jasper jade, like a picture scroll in the mirror, is breathtaking and beautiful without friends! Boating on the river, there will be the illusion of floating in the air, just like coming to a mysterious and quiet paradise! It was once known as "Semporna" in China!
Pingshan Canyon is located in Hefeng County, Enshi, adjacent to Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, and is one of the birthplaces of Ba culture. The air is fresh, the river is clear, and the forest coverage rate is high. It is definitely a natural oxygen bar for leisure and health.
Wang Yue Bridge is the most beautiful place in Pingshan Canyon, where the water is crystal clear and the mirror is clear, and the whole water surface is green and bright as jade. Because the water is too clear, it is difficult to observe the depth of the river directly. Don't go into the water if you have no experience of wading upstream.
Enshi Daqingjiang River
The 800-mile Qingjiang River is picturesque.
▼
Qingjiang River, called Yishui in ancient times, is 800 miles long, roaring and rushing, flying beads and splashing jade, lurking in the center of the earth, or stirring in the clear cliff. It runs through Enshi from west to east, feeding generations of Tujia children, and is called the mother river of Tujia. The magical Shuibuya, the beautiful Butterfly Gorge, the ingenious Five Brothers Peak and the 800-mile Qingjiang River are really picturesque …
Location: North bank of Fenshui River, Sancha Township, Enshi City
Shennongxi
Tracker's love
▼
The boatman's song and the porter's belt have been extinct in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River for many years, but the porter's belt on the Shennong River is still preserved to this day, which is the best preserved "living fossil" of the porter in the Three Gorges area. It once sang all over the country and went to the world with the folk song "Love of Travelers".
The mountains on both sides of Shennong River are majestic and winding. Deep pools and clear waters, waterfalls, hanging coffins, primitive boats, Tujia customs and stalagmite caves are all breathtaking.
Venue: Xinling Town, Badong County, Enshi Prefecture

Pingbaying
Known as "Daxinganling in Hubei"
▼
Pingba camp in Enshi is famous for its original ecological forest, and the forest coverage rate here reaches 96%! ! Therefore, it is known as "Daxinganling in Hubei"! With winding mountains, criss-crossing ravines, complicated caves and high content of negative oxygen ions, it is one of the best summer resorts in China.
There is also a unique cabin with hanging feet in the forest. Living here is like living in a forest fairy tale …
Venue: Pingbaying Village, Pingbaying Town, Xianfeng County, Enshi Prefecture
Cave in Enshi
Qingjiang ancient riverbed
One of the classic outdoor hiking routes in China.
▼
The ancient riverbed of Qingjiang River is the place where Home Far Away was explored, and it is also one of the shooting places of the movie Nie Yinniang the Assassin starring Shu Qi and Zhang zhen. This is a typical karst landform. Fiona Fang has been deserted for ten miles, and the scenery is beautiful. There are only a few families in the middle of Shilihe Road, and most of them are uninhabited. This valley has always maintained a very primitive style.
Hundred-mile cliffs, waterfalls, single mountains, virgin forests, ancient villages and other scenic spots are beautiful, which is the most beautiful outdoor hiking route in Lichuan and a more classic outdoor hiking route in China. It is called Qingjiang ancient riverbed. As the name implies, a long time ago, this was the place where the river flowed. Later, the river was diverted and the riverbed was exposed.
Venue: Fenshui Village, Tuanbao Township, Lichuan City, Enshi Prefecture, Hubei Province
Lichuan Tenglongdong
The largest arid cave in Asia

Xuanen tiankeng
An unattainable natural miracle.
▼
In Xuanen County, Enshi, there is a karst sinkhole with a depth of more than 290 meters. The bottom of the sinkhole covers an area of nearly 100 mu, and it is impossible to enter except the rope drop. Few people have set foot in it for decades, and the cliff in the sinkhole looms, hiding an unknown and vibrant "animal and plant kingdom".
Because it is inaccessible, the climate in the sinkhole is humid, the oxygen is abundant, the flowers and plants are fragrant, and dozens of plants such as vines, mosses and palm trees grow alternately, and swallows, butterflies and insects thrive here ... The unique landform and climate characteristics have created this great natural miracle.
Venue: Luoquanyan Village, Xuanen County, Enshi Prefecture
Enshi Detian Road
Enshi wall-hung highway
Known as "Hubei Tianlu"
One of the eight Panshan highways in China.
▼
In Enshi Mountain Area, Hubei Province, a expressway winds among the mountains. Seen from a distance, it is like a jade belt wrapped around a vertical mountain. Expressway is like suspended in the air, known as the "wall-hung expressway", which is extremely shocking!
This 4.4-kilometer-long "wall-hung highway" was once a "dead highway". Old local drivers are very careful and must slow down. Long ago, the fence was not hardened and installed, and car accidents often occurred. In the event of an accident, the car will be destroyed and people will die. Now that a fence is installed outside, this section of the road has become a pleasing "landscape road"!
At first, this "heavenly road" was just a road in the mountains. Few people know about it except the locals. Later, after being photographed and sent online, it spread like wildfire, and many self-driving teams gathered to "explore". Vehicles and people passing by here often stop to take out their mobile phones or cameras to take pictures and see this steep and spectacular fairyland!
Location: Shuanghe Village to Muliyuan Village, Xintang Township, Enshi City
Shiziguan water plank road
The most beautiful water plank road in Hubei.
▼
In the deep mountain canyon of Xuanen County, Enshi Prefecture, there is a beautiful place called Lion Pass, where there is a 500-meter-long "water plank road" winding through the green water. It has a poetic name called Bridges of Madison County, which instantly reminds people of the famous American movie of the same name.
Walking on this wooden bridge is like walking between mountains and rivers, which sway leisurely. It's really an honor!
Location: Shiziguan Scenic Area, Xuanen County, Enshi Prefecture
Enshi siduhe bridge
The scariest Gao Qiao in the world.
▼
Siduhe Bridge, once known as the first Gao Qiao in the world, is located at the junction of Yichang and Enshi, Hubei Province, with a total length of 1.365 meters. It is the longest suspension bridge in the world built by China in a deep mountain canyon, and it is also the first large suspension bridge in a mountainous area with a span of over 900 meters in the world! The deck of Siduhe Bridge is 560 meters away from the bottom of the valley, which is equivalent to 200 stories high! Burj Dubai has only 162 floors! This is a suspension bridge!
Overlooking the Siduhe Bridge, I saw two towers 100 meters standing on both sides of Siduhe Canyon, reaching into the sky and overlooking the endless Qian Shan. At the foot is a cliff-like abyss split by an axe. At the bottom is the Sidu River, which is rushing because of rising water, with blue sky overhead, "trying to compete with God". Because the bridge is very high, sometimes the sea of clouds will cover it, and the traffic is like shuttling in a fairyland, so it is also called "air overpass"!
