Enshi is so beautiful, are you sure you don't want to come and see?

After visiting Enshi, I realized that May in Enshi is like a "weather mystery box"! The daytime sun is scorching 🌞, with UV rays so strong they can peel your skin in minutes; by evening, it might suddenly rain 🌧️, leaving you scrambling for shelter if you didn't bring rain gear! Plus, the attractions are scattered, and the mountain roads are winding—without proper planning, you'll end up in a "journey of mishaps"! Luckily, I came prepared. Here's your ultimate guide 👇! Getting to Enshi 🚇 ✈️ Enshi Xujiaping Airport: Flights connect to multiple cities! After landing, take the airport shuttle bus 🚌 (¥10/person) for a 30-minute ride to downtown, or a taxi 🚕 for about 20 minutes. 🚄 Enshi Station / Enshi Grand Canyon Station: Enshi Station is downtown, with convenient buses or taxis; Grand Canyon Station serves the scenic area, where you can share a ride to attractions 🚗. 🚗 For drivers: Mountain roads are twisty! Set your GPS to "prioritize main roads," as some sections have a 30km/h speed limit—newbies, beware! Parking at attractions costs ¥10 - ¥20/day 🅿️.
