Enshi is a city in the western part of Hubei province, and also a place where Tujia people gather. Enshi not only has many mysterious natural landscapes that are eye-opening, but also has unique cultural connotations and delicious food unique to various ethnic minorities. It is a good travel destination. Here are some detailed strategies for you.
In fact, the five-day trip is still in a hurry. Enshi Prefecture is a place where you should slow down and experience it. The love affair hidden in the diaojiao building, the simplicity of Tujia people's brothers and sisters, and the delicious snacks in the streets and lanes can all disturb the stagnant water in your heart.
The best route for a 5-day tour in Enshi Prefecture:
Daughter Town-Grand Canyon-Tenglong Cave-Shennongxi-Geocentric Valley
Looking back on the whole journey, I feel a little pity at heart, and every place deserves to be enjoyed for two or three days, so I think if you want to come, I really hope you can slow down and exchange with the mountains and rivers, listen to the birds and insects in the forest and follow the flowers and plants.
The first day: Children's City, food recommendation
The first thing I did when I went to Daughter's City was to have lunch. I found Zhang Guan's joint dregs, a well-known local cooking restaurant. The joint dregs are their characteristics, and the taste is really good, but they are not as good as the delicious taste buds left by sour pork and potato chips.
The small potatoes on Kang in Enshi are really unique. They are golden in color, and their appetite rises greatly when they look at them. The potatoes taste soft and sweet, and the memories at this moment are full of fragrance.
Enshi Prefecture is an autonomous prefecture of Tujia nationality. Daughter Town has a strong Tujia style here. Beautiful diaojiao buildings stand on both sides of the street, and all kinds of ethnic brands with Tujia style can be seen at a glance.
There is not much room in Daughter Town. It's almost enough to have dinner in the afternoon and then go to the market and have a cup of tea in the evening. The pace of life here is not fast, and the small life is also leisurely. Every time I come to the ethnic minority areas, I have some regrets. If I chose to stay in my hometown in those years, would I live a completely different life now?
the next day: Enshi Grand Canyon, cliff plank road
The Grand Canyon is divided into two parts, including "Qixingzhai" and "Yunlong Ground Fissure". The ground fissure of Yunlong River is 7.5 kilometers long and the deepest is 75 meters. The ground fissure is full of strange rocks, colorful, ancient trees are green and flowing. The walking plank road is dug in the middle of the mountain, so visitors can't go straight to the bottom of the valley.
Walking along the footpath, there are several waterfalls and flowing springs on both sides of the ground fissures, and the waterfalls flowing down are refreshing to look at. Yunlong Ground Fissure is only a scenic spot of Enshi Grand Canyon, and there are more beautiful scenery as it continues to go up the mountain, that is, "Qixingzhai Scenic Area".
the original name of Qixing village is "qijing village", which consists of seven thrilling village doors, namely, Xiaoloumen, Zhongloumen, Dalou, Shaliu Cave, Caopuqian, Jigongling and Dongyun Temple. Each village door is in the shape of ten thousand cannot force it in and while one man guards it, and was built by the former mountain emperor (Black Toast). Because it looks like the Big Dipper in plane distribution, it is named "Qixing Village".
You can travel all over the mountain area along a circular mountain step without going back. Visitors can walk all the way (about 3 hours), among which the main attractions are the sky, the cliff promenade and a wick incense.
Huangshan Mountain is famous for its strange pines and rocks, and Zhangjiajie is famous for its natural bonsai, but in my heart, Enshi Grand Canyon is unique, which has both strange rocks and mountains and various beautiful natural vegetation bonsai, and deserves to be called "Colorado in the East".
"a wick of incense" is a peak column with a height of about 15 meters and a minimum diameter of only 4 meters. It seems that the stigma is even thicker than the waist of the column. It has stood proudly among the peaks for thousands of years, and the wind cannot blow it down and the rain cannot beat it. In 213, Yixiexiang was also rated as one of the 4 most beautiful scenic spots in China by foreign media.
According to legend, this stone pillar is a peace incense given by the gods to the local people. If it is lit in case of disaster, the gods will come down to save it, so the local people call it "peace incense".
There are thousands of scenery in the Grand Canyon. Standing on a high place, looking around, the ups and downs of mountains, the overlapping of clouds and the light sprinkling make the whole Grand Canyon look like a landscape painting. The sea of clouds stretches for hundreds of miles, and the light and shadow are confused and bullied. The whole scene is beautiful. All the obstacles in life are actually evil influence in my heart. Standing on a high place and watching the myriad clouds, all the things that can't be overcome in an instant can be thrown out of my mind.
In the Grand Canyon, there are many places where you can take photos and punch in. The mountain breeze is Xu Lai, the fragrance of plants and trees is mixed with the smell of earth, and the hormones of nature are so refreshing ~ I must admit here that hiking in Enshi Grand Canyon makes me a little exhausted.
During the journey, you can take the sightseeing bus and the cable car, and you can overlook the Grand Canyon from God's perspective. You can see the scenery that you can't see on the flat ground from the sky.
It's my first time to walk on the cliff plank road, and people who are afraid of heights still have a lingering fear when they walk through it. Walking along the plank road with people, the breeze between the canyons swept away the heat, and I dared to stick my head out to see the valley below while holding the railing.
In the evening, I will go to see Dragon Boat Tune, a Tujia folk song with local characteristics, which is impressive. The lyrics have accumulated the long-term life experience and wisdom of the local working people, revealing a strong flavor of life between the lines, the shyness and charm of Tujia girls, and the amorous feelings of Tujia brothers and sisters are vividly displayed on the stage.
The whole performance of Dragon Boat Tune lasted for more than an hour. The toast's daughter and the punter were moved by their attachment to love. The story of dying for love made me burst into tears. I know that as the rings grow longer, the longer I spend in the dye vat of society, the less I expect feelings. Fortunately, I have never chosen to believe in love, and I have finally been cherished by love.
Day 3: Tenglong Cave in Lichuan, hot air balloon
The Qingjiang River plunged more than 3 meters from the entrance of Tenglong Cave. The mighty river plunged vertically, the waves rolled and the acoustic shock was nine deep, forming an extremely rare giant karst cave landscape in the world. From then on, it turned from light to dark and sneaked into the underground for 16.8 kilometers. The geological landscape in the cave was widely distributed, which was called "a".
There was no hot air balloon before coming here, so you can take a romantic hot air balloon here this time! You don't need to travel across the ocean to Turkey, which is not romantic. You only need to come to Tenglong Cave, and we can feel the fun of flying with a hot air balloon at the least cost. However, this hot air balloon can only rise to the ceiling height of about 4m, and it won't fly too high, and it is safer.
The Qingjiang River valley around Tenglongdong is the birthplace of human beings. By the time of the Shang Dynasty, Tenglongdong was the place where Ba people founded their country. Later, Tujia people, descendants of Ba people, lived and multiplied here, and Ba people were good at singing and dancing. The hometown of Dragon Boat Tune, an excellent Tujia folk song in the world, was Lichuan, and the rich Tujia customs also added a lot of color to Tenglongdong tourism.
With the natural dome-shaped hall in the cave, Tenglong Cave has built the largest original ecological cave theater in the world at present, and staged large-scale Tujia original ecological situational songs and dances "Yishui Lichuan" and "Yishui Lichuan" every day. As the first large-scale real-life drama in Hubei Province, "Yishui Lichuan" has been staged for more than 6, times, and has become a symbol and brand of Tujia national culture. The background of mobile diaojiao building, covered bridge, dragon boat in the water, etc., makes me can't help but blend into the primitive and quaint Tujia culture and ethnic customs.
"Yishui Lichuan" deeply excavates and inherits the local national culture, the legendary story of the Ba ancestor Linjun and Tujia totem White Tiger, the folk customs of Tujia people such as crying, wedding ceremony, funeral dance and hunting, the beautiful dragon boat tune, Liukou tea and other mountain folk songs, which make tourists crazy.
In the background of the stage, Tujia representative buildings, such as Tujia Diaojiao Building and Fengyu Bridge, and real life props, such as waterwheel, Xilankapu, Quewo and Old Buffalo, let tourists be there. The duet of folk songs, the selection of grooms, the worship of the bride and the throwing of sachets make tourists excited. The folk songs and dances in the program are all national intangible cultural heritage, which not only maintains the authenticity of national culture, but also creates an artistic carrier of "harmony between man and nature" for the transformation of national cultural elements into popular tourism products.
Note:
I saw a little brother who looks like Show Lo among more than 1 stage performers! The side face is particularly similar, of course, the front face is also good-looking. He took a lot of pictures after chasing the stage with 7-2.
In addition to "Yi Shui Li Chuan", Tenglongdong Scenic Area has also created the only comprehensive laser performance show in China, with carefully choreographed modern songs and dances, which combines various elements such as laser, ball curtain, water curtain, fountain, flame, fog and so on, presenting a beautiful stage picture. Tickets for 18 yuan can see two performances, which is not expensive.
In 25, Tenglong Cave was rated as "the most beautiful place in China" and "the six most beautiful tourist caves in China-shocking Tenglong Cave" by chinese national geography. As one of the "Top Ten Tourist Business Cards" in Hubei Province, Tenglongdong National Geopark is really worth seeing.
the fourth day: Shennong creek, the traveler pulls the fiber
It is no exaggeration to say that Shennong creek is the place I am most looking forward to this Enshi trip. In the movie "Crossing the Ocean to Love You", I saw the simplicity and primitiveness of this land, the crying marriage culture, the funeral culture, the singer's song and the mourning for the dead. These hazy pictures in my memory are urging me to leave quickly, see for myself and listen with my own ears.
the beauty of Shennongxi lies in its primitive, simple, wild and pollution-free. There is no artificial carving here, it depends entirely on the nature. Shennongxi is full of greenery everywhere. The mountains are green, and the water is green. Sitting on a small wooden boat and touching the water along the side of the boat, the water surface is glittering and dazzling. My memory suddenly returns to the picture of playing with water to catch fish by the river when I was a child. Time always comes and goes in a hurry, but some good things never return.
There are two ways of rafting in Shenlong Creek: kayaking and wooden boat. I took the primitive pea-horn boat, but I still wanted to watch the boatmen pull the fiber and listen to them sing the chant "Hey Zuo Hey Zuo Zuo Zuo". In fact, the chant has no specific lyrics, that is, boatmen used to go to grandma's house by boat when they were young. During the dry season, there will be pictures of boatmen pulling the fiber. They are familiar with water and are agile and fast on the water and shore.
It's certain that we can't see the original picture now, and all these people in front of us are over 6 years old! The actual age of this tracker in front of the camera is 75. I really can't see that people of this age can still be so energetic, probably because the mountains and rivers support people ~
Day 5: Journey to the geocentric valley, a secret place in the mountains < P > The geocentric valley is the biggest surprise of this trip. If I hadn't taken a trip in the canyon myself, I wouldn't have believed that Enshi would have so many magical places. The center of the earth valley is like a stunning beauty hidden in a boudoir. Her beauty, elegance, serenity and beauty can only be realized by one footprint at a time.
The starry room in the center of the earth valley is worth mentioning. After sunset, the twilight rises. After 23 o'clock, the world is quiet only with insects. At this moment, I close my eyes as if I can still hear cricket singing, the breeze in the forest caresses the leaves, and the stars keep blinking overhead.
after turning off all the lights, I put a big letter on the bed and looked up at the stars, as if I had returned to the yuan at once.
The playability of the geocentric valley is too high. The first one is the 9D suspended cable glass bridge. People who are afraid of heights are naturally worried, but people like me who like excitement can cross without blinking ~ there are more than 1 meters under their feet, and the flowers, trees and canyons are clearly visible. There will be music after the last paragraph, which is similar to playing games to clear customs. It's very interesting.
The valley of Enshi Geocentric Valley is divided into three sections, Shuxin Valley is famous for its risks, Qingxin Valley is famous for its seclusion, and Wenxin Valley is famous for its strangeness. The plank road in Shuxin Valley is built on a cliff in the air, winding in the middle of the mountain, standing on the plank road and looking at it, the trees in the valley are lush and flourishing. The flowing water at the bottom of the valley is gurgling, and the sound of water is pleasant to listen to.
Pass by Jiayin Pavilion, cross the Sun Moon Gate, and admire the head of the great ape and the elephant trunk stone, and you will arrive at Xixin Valley.
The total length of Xixin Valley is 1.8 kilometers, which is considered as the most brilliant part of the three river valleys. Some beautiful words are not gorgeous enough to compile its beauty, but I know that as long as you come, you will be moved by it.
This is the name of the geocentric valley. The heart-shaped valley, like a heart door, connects the girls and boys next to it. The beauty of this valley lies in its depth. The reach of the river is impacted by the current, giving it a strong sense of three-dimensional space, like writing a stone book with a pen.
There is a stone not far from it that looks like a turtle. It is obvious to the naked eye. You don't need to imagine that it is a turtle. The clear water in the center of the earth makes people want to play in the water, so there is really a water play area here, and how to play so happily.
The last section is the Heart Valley. Go all the way up along Bayan Ancient Road, go through Bayan Cave and walk not far to the "magic carpet in the air". It sounds very magical, but it is actually an aerial sightseeing elevator. This magic carpet has its own foot massage effect, which is especially suitable for tourists who climb the slope and climb the ridge.
There are many aerial projects and water entertainment projects in the center of the earth valley. Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful that day, and none of them were completed. And I know that all the regrets are for the next meeting.
