National Geographic wasn't lying. I'm going back this year…

My encounter with Enshi began with a chance look through a National Geographic magazine. In that instant, I knew this was the faraway place I'd been dreaming of. After some quick planning, I set foot on this magical land during the off-season last year. As the saying goes, "If the mountain will not come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain." Although this trip nearly wore my legs out, every scene was unique, making me sigh: National Geographic really didn't lie! I'm going back again this year! 🌍 The "Semporna of China"—Enshi Grand Canyon, truly a jewel left behind by nature. - Opening hours: 08:00 - 16:00. Remember to plan your trip accordingly and don't miss the entry time. - Ticket details: Includes admission, cable car, mini-train, and downhill escalator. One ticket covers everything, worry-free fun. - Important reminder: Don't forget your ID card! All activities inside the scenic area require ID card verification, so don't let carelessness ruin your trip. Enshi Grand Canyon consists of two main parts: 1. Qixingzhai (Up to the sky): This is a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. The entire route is uphill, long, and with many steps, requiring a certain level of physical strength and endurance. But when you climb step by step and take in the stunning scenery along the way, you'll find it all worthwhile. 2. Yunlong Ground Seam (Into the earth): Stroll through it, surrounded by mist, with waterfalls hanging high. It's mainly downhill steps, relatively easier, but there are very few supply points, so be sure to prepare water and necessary food in advance. 🚩 Best travel route: Start from the visitor center and take the mini-train. Be sure to grab the front glass seat on the right-hand side of the train, as this is the best viewing angle for the scenery along the way! Then take the cable car uphill to begin your exploration of Qixingzhai. After your visit, take the downhill escalator to Yunlong Ground Seam. Finally, take the sightseeing elevator back to the visitor center. This route allows you to fully appreciate the magnificence of the Grand Canyon while saving your energy. 📸 Must-see attractions: 1. Stone Bud Labyrinth: Jagged rocks in various shapes, like a mysterious maze carefully arranged by nature. 2. Cliff Corridor: A passage carved out of the cliffs. Walking along it, with a bottomless abyss below and steep rock walls beside you, is both thrilling and exciting. 3. One Incense Stick: An isolated stone pillar soaring into the sky, standing tall despite the wind and rain. It's a landmark of Enshi Grand Canyon, truly awe-inspiring. 4. Earth Landscape: The unique karst landforms are on full display here, with peaks and valleys crisscrossing, making one marvel at the wonders of nature. 🎒 Travel tips: 1. The entire Qixingzhai scenic area is uphill, so try not to carry too much food and water. Traveling light will make it easier to enjoy the journey. 2. Trekking poles and comfortable hiking shoes are essential! They can help reduce the pressure on your legs, making every step more stable, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the picturesque scenery. The beauty of Enshi Grand Canyon can only be experienced firsthand. Trust me, once you set foot on this land, you'll fall in love with it just like I did, and can't wait to return!
