    Pingshan Canyon The canyon is so deep it seems to have no ground, steep cliffs reach for the sky. A plank road soars into the clouds, mist hangs over the canyon entrance. A winding stream with rushing waterfalls, a clear lake with blue waters. Willow-leaf boats float on the ferry, passenger boats travel on the green stream. Where the canyon narrows, it truly deserves the name "One Man's Pass." November 6, 2025

    Lianhuazhai Square is the core tourist area of ​​the Suobuya Stone Forest Scenic Area. Most tour groups only visit the two sub-attractions within Lianhuazhai before stopping. Unlike independent travelers, who have more time to explore Qinglongzhai at the innermost part of the scenic area and Jiulongtan (near the visitor center) together, Lianhuazhai offers a different experience. The most photogenic spot in Lianhuazhai is undoubtedly Rhinoceros Gully, which is truly picturesque. Taking photos during the off-season when there are fewer crowds will undoubtedly result in even better photos.

    A Dry Tour of Enshi Tusi City – Nine-Story Hall: Feel the Pulse of the "Tujia Palace"! ☆ Nine-Story Hall, a cluster of Tujia stilted buildings, has nine stories ("nine" being the extreme number, symbolizing the authority of the Tusi). It is the largest Tusi royal palace complex in the country, and the craftsmanship of its 333 wooden pillars joined without nails is a marvel. Walking through the Tulou cluster, sunlight streams through the carved wooden windows, casting dappled shadows on the bluestone slabs; from the top observation deck, overlooking the entire city's autumn colors, the red maples and black tiles complement each other, like a richly colored oil painting.

    Tenglong Cave is one of the earlier scenic spots, with rich and varied landscapes and well-developed facilities. The most recommended attraction is the large-scale song and dance performance "Yishui Lichuan," which allows you to understand the migration and changes of the Tujia people in 40 minutes and provides you with rich cultural insights.

    It's definitely worth visiting. Compared to the Grand Canyon, this is the least strenuous walking tour (the scenery in Enshi really does require some walking). Take the shuttle bus from Parking Lot 1 to the scenic area entrance. Inside, there's a glass walkway. After crossing it, you walk up and down the left side of the canyon cliff, mostly downwards. There are many interesting rock formations along the way – quite a few. At the bottom of the canyon, there's green water; the weather suddenly cleared, making the water look beautiful. Then you take a boat into the cave. After exiting, you climb over 300 steps to take an elevator, which leads to the scenic area exit. The exit is different from the entrance! The shuttle bus first goes to the train station, then to Parking Lot 2, and finally to Parking Lot 1. However, I bought all the magic carpet tickets but didn't ride them in the end; I don't know how to complete the route. This whole trip takes 2.5 hours. It's relatively easy compared to other places. If you walk the whole way, it would probably take at least an hour longer.

    I went there during the May Day holiday. There were relatively more people and cars, but the scenic area was well managed and everything was in good order. The floating bridge on the car was quite safe, not as exciting as I imagined. Instead, speeding across the stream made the adults and children in the car scream constantly. The scenery was nice👍
