Many people remember Enshi as a somewhat mysterious place, where people mainly live in ethnic minorities, where mountains and rivers support people, and where residents are hardworking and intelligent. How much do you know about Enshi? Let Xiaobian introduce you to Enshi folk culture, regional cuisine and scenic spots worth visiting.

Impression of Enshi:

Ethnic minorities, food and Tujia folk customs

I prefer the folk customs of ethnic minorities. Enshi's mysterious Tujia customs, special food and beautiful scenery are fascinating. Only when I came into contact with Enshi, I felt that it was just a small city in a knot in one's heart, without the prosperity and vitality of a big city.

after contact, I found that it was ready to move. After four or five years' verification, my feelings have been proved. Nowadays, Enshi's tourism industry, specialty industry and real estate industry are gradually rising, becoming a new show in China's tourism market.

There are 29 ethnic groups in Enshi Autonomous Prefecture, including Tujia, Miao, Dong, Han, Hui, Mongolian, Yi, Naxi and Zhuang, which have governed and governed by themselves since ancient times, striving for self-reliance and development. Enshi's rapid development and strength can not be separated from their self-improvement, diligence and wisdom from ancient times to the present.

speaking of ethnic minorities, I have to talk about Tujia cuisine. In fact, there are many Tujia delicacies and snacks. Locals don't eat like Han people. They pay attention to several dishes and soups. They pay attention to several pots and side dishes. When you go to Enshi restaurant for dinner, you are often given a few small stoves and a variety of dry pots, which is the main course. The side chef will give it to you at will (you can also ask.

I suggest you have a taste of the oil tea soup after dinner. My mother-in-law has a great skill in oil tea soup, and my friends who have the opportunity can take you to have a taste. Enshi cuisine is mainly spicy and greasy. Friends who love to eat should not eat and drink at first. They can ask the chef to put less oil and let the stomach adapt first, otherwise there will be a premonition that it is not fragrant.

The industrious, intelligent, heroic and brave people of all ethnic groups in Enshi have an unobstructed view of their spiritual temperament and national character, which shows the polite and natural life attitude of Enshi people, and their living habits are unique. With the development of the times and the progress of society, there are more and more things in Enshi people's living habits, but fewer and fewer things with individuality, and some of them have become "treasures".

Tujia costumes: The earliest costumes of Tujia people in Enshi can be summarized in four sentences: "Men and women hang their temples, short clothes and feet, and they are full of joy and blue spots".

Tujia Diaojiaolou: All ethnic groups in Enshi are used to living by the mountain. The famous building is Diaojiaolou. People who used to live in Diaojiaolou were "local tyrants and big brothers" at that time. There are various forms of diaojiao building, and the main forms are single-hanging, double-hanging and four-in-one water type.

Tujia people's crying marriage: Generally, the crying marriage begins half a month or a month before the bride's wedding, and some even started crying and singing in the first three months. However, it started off and on. You can cry freely. Relatives and neighbors come to give gifts and visit, and whoever comes will cry as a courtesy to thank them. The night before the wedding ceremony, when I got into the sedan chair the next day, crying and getting married reached a climax. Crying and singing during this period must be carried out according to traditional etiquette, and you can't cry indiscriminately. Whoever can't cry will be laughed at and even discriminated against by others.

Enshi scenic spot

Luyuanping

Luyuanping may be unfamiliar to leisure players, but for outdoor lovers, Luyuanping is undoubtedly a paradise for hiking, and its original appearance preserved so far seems to come to the legendary utopia in an instant. Trapped in the canyon, surrounded by cliffs, overlooking the village and looking up at the blue sky and white clouds. Meditation on the ancient stone bridge is nothing more than a real paradise.

Four-level Waterfall

There is a famous four-level waterfall here. It is said that the first-level waterfall is named not only because it has the highest altitude, but also because it flows out of the hole of the cliff. In the sunshine, each level has its own merits. If there is anything worth looking forward to, the rainbow wonders may be more artistic after the rain, and maybe you will see the rainbow if you are not careful.

ground fissures

ground fissures, as the name suggests, are cracks in the earth. Its formation is related to the formation of the canyon and geological movement, and after thousands of years, it has also formed a strange landscape here. The cracks in the rock are the testimony of time. The sunlight falls from the cracks in the rock wall, and the traces of time are close at hand. The magic of nature is indeed unimaginable.

Enshi Grand Canyon

is 18km long and covers an area of 3km2. There are typical and rich karst landforms on both sides: sinkholes, ground fissures, natural bridges, karst caves (more than 2, with overlapping peaks and cliffs almost perpendicular to the Grand Canyon). In the 8-mile Qingjiang River, the Grand Canyon from Tunpu in Enshi to Mufu is amazing in the world with its majestic cliffs and dangerous peaks. The natural scenic spots are mainly composed of the scenery of the great river, the precipice in front of the mountain, the Longmen peak forests in large, medium and small areas, the Banqiao Cave Group, the Longqiao Underground River, the Yunlong River Ground Fissure, the single mountain in the back mountain, the Yulongshan precipice, the Chaoyong Cliff, the Tongpenshui Forest Park, and the Tunbao Qingjiang River Gallery.

a wick of incense

According to legend, this stone pillar is a hard incense given by the gods to the local people. In case of disaster, when the gods light it, they will come down to the earth to save the suffering, so the local people call it "hard incense", which is long and thin. When Wan Li is clear, a white cloud is stacked on the top of the mountain, which looks like incense in the sky from a distance; In rainy weather, a layer of mist rises, just like a wisp of green yarn, which makes it looming and charming.
