enshi tusi castle is built on the mountain, covering an area of more than 3 mu, only 5 meters away from Enshi city center. It is divided into four functional areas, namely, square business area, national culture exhibition area, leisure and entertainment area and hotel reception area.

the main landscapes are the gatehouse, the wind and rain bridge, the Linjun Temple, the Tujia folk houses, the Tusi Palace (Jiujin Hall), the city wall, the beacon tower, the bell tower, the drum tower, the hexagonal pavilion, the Baihua Garden, the white tiger statue, and the Wolong Cable Bridge.

Tusi City, also known as Mowei Building.

it is 1.5km away from the center of Enshi, the state capital, and belongs to the landscape folk scenic spot of historic sites and architecture. It is an antique Tusi manor complex in Tujia area, which was designed by Suzhou Garden Design Institute and built by local folk artists, and implemented the development strategy of "eco-tourism state and ethnic customs garden" put forward by Enshi State Committee and State People's Government. It is the only landmark project with the largest scale, the most magnificent project, the most unique style and the most beautiful landscape in Tujia area in China. It was named and inscribed as "enshi tusi castle" by Mr Fei Xiaotong, vice chairman of the National People's Congress and a famous sociologist.

enshi tusi castle, facing a towering tower is the Tusi Gate Tower.

The Tusi City Gate Tower, also known as the Tusi Chaomen or Kanlou, is a memorial building that shows the prestige and merits of the Tusi. Great attention is paid to the solemn and gorgeous appearance, while the architectural content embodies the Tujia people's humanistic and ideological space concept and technical intelligence.

In front of the gatehouse, there are two statues of gods holding dragons, which are called "The Heavenly King sends his son away", which shows that the Tujia people generally have the mentality of "wishing their son to become a dragon".

Of the three murals on the right wall, except the one in the middle shows national unity, the one on the right reflects the life of Tujia ancestors.

"Maugus" is called the rice god. Food is the most important thing for people, and rice is closely related to people's survival. The worship of rice god reflects the strong consciousness of Tujia ancestors to the existence of life in the early stage of farming.

In the picture on the left, two big men are staring at each passer-by. They are called "Nuri Baga" and "Kedou Maoren" in Tujia language, and they are the patrons of the Tusi Gate Tower.

Antique wind and rain bridge, two bridge pavilions stand on the bridge gallery, with cornices and carved beams, which are very exquisite and beautiful. Wind and rain bridges are mostly built at river crossings, and railings and long sitting boards are specially set on both sides of the bridge corridor for business travelers who carry their backs on their shoulders to relax and enjoy the cool and shade from the rain, so they are called "wind and rain bridges." This storm bridge, although there are no pedestrians carrying loads, is an excellent place for tourists to rest, relax, enjoy the cool, chat, have a dragon gate array or have a tryst with lovers.

enshi tusi castle is located in the northwest of Enshi, on the west bank of Qingjiang River. Enshi tusi castle is a newly-built national architectural complex that imitates the era of toast in Rongmei. It is mainly composed of Tusi's bedroom and ancestral temple. The real Rongmei Tusi site is located in Enshi, but it has been ruined with only a yellow mound left. From the architectural structure and style, enshi tusi castle has copied the style of Tusi City as it was. Especially in the bedroom, the luxury increases the gas, and there is no trace of imitation at all. There are walls and turrets behind Tusi City, which is also a good restoration of the defensive structure of Tusi City at that time. There are some archaeological relics and the introduction of Rongmei Tusi on display in Tusi City, which has the nature of a museum. The only fly in the ointment is that the river water in Tusi City is very heavy and the environment is very polluted. I hope it can be treated as soon as possible. The road outside the gate of Tusi City is narrow, and the parking space inside is limited, so go on road trip should go early, otherwise there will be traffic jams and no parking. Tickets to 5 yuan, the price/performance ratio is ok. The tour is mainly about the main palace, which lasts about an hour.
