As a Hubei native, the editor has not been to many places in Hubei, which is a pity. I keep talking about how great it is to go to other places.
In fact, Enshi, Hubei is really a very nice place with many tourist attractions and the consumption is not particularly high.
Regarding photography, the natural scenery in Enshi, Hubei is extremely beautiful, but it is not a paradise for photographers. The reason is the climate here.
No matter what season it is, it is always cloudy and foggy, with a lot of water vapor in the air, poor visibility, and even if there is sunlight, the light is very weak.
When I take photos in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, I can get very gorgeous photos, but no matter how I take photos here, the landscape photos are all hazy and not pleasing to the eyes.
Nowadays, the camera performance of mobile phones is getting better and better. Most of the pictures in this article were taken by the military commander with iPhone7plus.
In many scenes, such as: food, close-up people, low-light environments, and moving objects, the pictures taken with a mobile phone are better than my mirrorless camera SonyNEX5T, and they can be posted to Moments immediately.
The phone is very light, has little carrying burden, and supports a selfie stick. These features make it an instant winner over mirrorless cameras.
If it were not for professional photography, I think mirrorless cameras could be eliminated.
day1 Zhang’s comrade from Enshi Shuaiba Ren Hotel welcomed us and invited us to taste Enshi’s special delicacies at Shuaiba Ren Flavor Restaurant.
The meat here is mainly bacon, and the main dish must be a pot of soup. This pot is black-bone chicken soup.
Use solid alcohol to heat it below, and you can eat meat, drink soup, and rinse various vegetables.
The weather in Hubei is humid and cold, so people like hot and spicy food, which can promote sweating and expel moisture from the body.
Because children in Beijing are not very intolerant of spicy food, this dish avoids chili peppers as much as possible.
This is the main ingredient in Hubei's Tujia Pancake Cured Pig's Trotter Soup. The pig's trotters taste more mellow after being cured, and the locals also call it "abalone meat".
Brown sugar glutinous rice balls are called "gege" by the locals. They seem to be steamed with meat wrapped in rice flour.
There is also potato in the black chicken soup, which looks very nourishing.
steamed fish.
There are almost no marine fish in Enshi. The local Qingjiang River flows through and produces river fish.
The first meal in Enshi was very sumptuous and very local.
A good start indicates that the rest of the trip will be full of delicious food! Enshi Hualongcheng Hotel is the most luxurious five-star hotel in the area. The lobby is luxurious and the interior of the room is full of mahogany furniture, which is high-end and comfortable.
Excellent service, recommend this hotel.
The location can be searched through Amap navigation.
This trip was by self-driving, borrowing a friend's Touareg SUV, and returning to this hotel to check in every day, so I booked a room for 6 consecutive days.
The Former Site of Ye Ting’s Prison and the Memorial Hall of General Ye Ting’s Prison is located on Ye Ting Road, backed by Liangzi Mountain and facing the Ximen River.
It is free to visit here and there are few tourists. You can learn about the local history and culture, pay homage to the heroes and remember the revolutionary pioneers.
The legend of Ba Rentang is that in a certain era, two patriarchs or brothers of the Tujia nationality had a grudge. For the survival and development of the nation, the two decided to clear up their past grudges, so they drank a bowl of wine together to show their future.
After drinking, they smashed the bowl to clear away their grudges, which also showed their magnanimity and heroism.
In the evening we came to Ba Rentang in Daughter City to experience the custom of throwing bowls and drinking wine.
In these large vats is the wine used for drinking wine: bayberry wine.
The taste is extremely sweet and sour, with a strong concentration, a bit like syrup, and most people really can't get used to it.
There is also a wonderful Tujia song and dance performance every night, absolutely professional! This kind of bowl can be thrown casually, and the crisper it is, the better.
Each bowl costs 1 yuan, and the cost is only a few cents, so the boss hopes everyone will drop more.
Drink a bowl of wine with Brother Zhang. I am very thirsty and drink hard. It is a local specialty. The main raw materials are soy milk and meat filling. It is delicious and very delicious.
There are even local shops specializing in Hezha, which shows the popularity of this food.
A dish you must not miss when you come to Enshi! New Year Pork is a dish only made during the Chinese New Year. It is steamed with bacon and glutinous rice, and yellow sticky rice is also used.
It was a satisfying meal to satisfy our cravings. We ate New Year’s meat at least 5 times in Enshi.
day2 Breakfast in Wuhan The breakfast here is mostly pasta, with rich varieties, cheap prices and very delicious.
Noodles of different thicknesses and textures, paired with various whistles.
Wuhan bean curd looks delicious, but actually tastes average.
The inside is stuffed with dried tofu, which tastes salty.
If it were replaced with meat filling, it would probably be better to eat fat intestine noodles. Highly recommended, very fragrant! The local fried noodles are very different from Beijing fried noodles. The sauce taste is different and the accessories are richer.
After dinner, I saw a local tree on the street. The leaves have two colors. It’s very beautiful! Tusi City Archway. According to the locals, Enshi Tusi City is a fake attraction. It is not a real historical site, but based on the original site.
The architectural style is changed and the address is imitated.
Please, thank you.
