As a native of Hubei, it's a pity that Bian Xiao hasn't been to many places in Hubei. He kept talking about how nice it would be to go out of town. In fact, Enshi, Hubei Province is really a very good place with many scenic spots and low consumption.

About photography

The natural scenery in Enshi, Hubei Province is absolutely beautiful, but because of the climate here, it is not a paradise for photographers.

No matter what season, it's cloudy here, and there is a lot of water vapor in the air, so the visibility is poor. Even if there is a sun, it is very weak light. Taking photos in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia can produce gorgeous photos, but no matter how you take photos here, the scenery photos are foggy and don't please me.

Now the camera performance of mobile phones is getting stronger and stronger. Most of the pictures in this article were taken by commanders with iPhone7plus.

in many scenes, such as food, close-up people, low light environment and moving objects, the pictures taken by the mobile phone will be better than my micro-SonyNEX5T, and I can send them to my friends immediately. The mobile phone is very light, has a small carrying burden and supports the selfie stick. These characteristics have all killed the micro-single. If it weren't for professional photography, I think we would have eliminated the micro-single.

day 1

Comrade Zhang Dage of Enshi Shuaiba Hotel gave us a welcome and invited us to the Shuaiba people's flavor building to taste Enshi's special food.

the meat here is mainly bacon, and the main course must be a pot of soup, that is, black chicken soup. Heat it with solid alcohol. You can eat meat, drink soup or rinse all kinds of vegetables.

The weather in Hubei is humid and cold, and people like spicy food, which can promote sweating and expel moisture from the body.

Because children in Beijing can't eat spicy food, this table tries not to eat Chili.

This is Tujia cake in Hubei.

The main ingredient in pickled pig's trotters soup, which tastes more mellow after pickled, is also called "abalone meat" by local people.

Brown sugar jiaozi

Locals call it "Gege", which seems to be steamed with rice flour wrapped in meat.

and black chicken soup with sweet potato, which looks very nourishing.

steamed fish. There are few marine fish in Enshi, and the local Qingjiang River flows to produce river fish.

The first meal in Enshi was very rich and had local characteristics. A good start indicates that there will be more delicious food in the future!

Enshi Hualong City Hotel is the most luxurious five-star hotel in the area. The lobby is luxurious, and the interior of the room is made of mahogany furniture, which is upscale and comfortable. The service is very good. I recommend this hotel. You can search for the location through Gaud navigation.

This trip took the form of self-driving. I borrowed my friend's Touareg SUV and went back to this hotel every day, so I booked a room for six days in a row.

General Ye Ting Memorial Hall, the former site of Ye Ting Prison, is located on Ye Ting Road, backed by Liangzi Mountain and facing Ximen River. Visiting here is free and there are few tourists. You can learn about local history and culture, worship heroes and heroes, and cherish the memory of revolutionary pioneers.

The legend in Batang is that at a certain time, there was a feud between two Tujia clan chiefs or brothers. For the survival and development of the country, the two decided to bury the hatchet, so they drank a bowl of wine to show their friendship and harmony in the future. After drinking, they broke the bowl to end their hostility, which also showed their generosity and heroism. In the evening, we came to our daughter's Citybus Club to experience the custom of throwing bowls of wine here.

In these vats, there is wine for drinking that bowl of wine: Myrica rubra wine. The taste is very sweet and sour, and the concentration is very high. Some of them are like syrup, and most people really don't like it.

There are wonderful Tujia song and dance performances every night, which are absolutely professional!

this kind of bowl can be thrown casually, and the crisper the better. You need to pay 1 yuan for each bowl, and the cost is only a few cents. The boss wants everyone to drop more.

I drank a bowl of wine with Brother Zhang, and my mouth was thirsty. I fell hard and was stirred!

bacon pot

Hezha is a local specialty, mainly made of soybean milk and minced meat. It tastes delicious.

There are even local shops specializing in mixing dregs, which shows the favor of this kind of food.

a dish that Enshi can't miss!

Meat, a dish only cooked during the New Year in China, is steamed with bacon and glutinous rice, and there is also yellow glutinous rice. We have been eating meat in Enshi for at least five years.

: day 2

Noodles with different thicknesses and tastes, and various whistles.

Wuhan bean skin looks delicious, but it tastes just so-so. There is dried bean curd in it, which tastes very salty. It's delicious if it's meat.

Pork sausage noodles, highly recommended, are very delicious!

Zhajiang noodles are very different from those in Beijing and Zhajiang, with different sauces and richer auxiliary materials.

after dinner, I saw a local tree in the street. Its leaves have two colors. Very nice!

Tucheng archway

Tucheng According to the local people, enshi tusi castle is a fake scenic spot, not a real historical relic, but a replica of the original site after changing its address according to the architectural style. However, it is worthwhile to imitate this magnificent and unique building, and so is the ticket to 5 yuan.

maybe it's because it's not the tourist season, and there are not many tourists here. On the pavilion on the other side of the river, tourists will play, all of which are local folk music.

it's made of pure silver, and it's hollow inside, but it's actually very light.

Tujia heavy building

Good food has just come out of Tusi City, and the weather is still wet and cold. Local friends invited us to dinner.

this kind of small electric stove is very common in the local area. Usually placed under the dining table, hot air comes out from around the table, which is very warm and comfortable.

It's the first time to eat this kind of silver carp hot pot. It's very hot. After drinking a small bowl of soup, it made me sweat, and I didn't feel cold at all.

Enshi Tujia Daughter City Daughter City is a famous commercial street in Enshi. Very lively, all kinds of commercial facilities and performances are worth recommending.

One corner of my daughter's city has been opened as a children's activity area, which is a good place to relax.

blow bubbles, I caught them.

Just in time for the lion and dragon dances, it's very lively!

In the evening, there are singing and dancing performances here. With love stories as the theme, the actors are all handsome boys and girls, wearing beautiful national costumes.

day 3

Visiting Enshi

Enshi is also called "Selenium Capital", because the soil here is rich in selenium, so all kinds of agricultural products planted here are rich in selenium.

The feed eaten by livestock itself is rich in selenium, so the livestock, poultry and eggs produced are also rich in selenium.

Selenium-containing food is very beneficial to human body and has anticancer effect.

Chatting with the grandfathers and grandmothers working in the fields, they enthusiastically asked us to pull out radishes. Tu family is famous for its hospitality. They think that having guests here is welcome and can bring good luck.

Please drink this honey water and send us oranges and walnuts for the New Year. Although the language is not very good, my uncles and aunts are still very enthusiastic!

Changling farmhouse cuisine

Visiting Huazhong Medicinal Botanical Garden

Entering the special breeding base, you need to go through a spray disinfection room for overall disinfection. After that, entering and leaving any door requires strict disinfection of the soles. Ensure that bacteria are not brought into or out of the workshop.

this is a feed storage area, clean and tidy, and in good order.

finally entered the henhouse. A henhouse has 3, chickens, which are managed and raised automatically.

The feed that chickens eat contains Chinese herbal medicines, but does not contain hormones and antibiotics. The quality is very good and sold all over the world.

Brother Zhang is the national distributor of these eggs.

Go to Xingtang Hangtian Road. The national highway passes through Xintang County, and the road leading to Aerospace Road enters from a small intersection. There are obvious road signs. Be careful not to miss it.

Hanging Sky Road

The top of Fengtian Road is the best place to take photos. I think there are two unique places here. One day, the road turned like a jade belt on a cliff, turning 2 times in one turn. Extremely dangerous. However, many peaks are arranged at a uniform angle, and each peak presents different colors due to different distances, which is amazing. It is difficult for the camera to take a particularly good effect. You have to see it on the spot to catch up with the fine weather.

I'm a little excited to see this beautiful scenery. I made up a song:

Wenmiao Mountain is like a cloud,

Today, I am in the fog.

How dare thousands of feet, the precipice?

I'm going to be twenty years old.

Challenge the road, fearless woman, let's go!

don't stop in places with many springs, because it's easier to drop stones.

take a selfie with the mirror in the corner. I think I'm a driver, right? Actually, I

drive down from the wall-hung road for about 3 minutes. In order not to detour back to Enshi, find a place to turn around and drive back. Come up, completely conquer, awesome!

day 4

Enshi Grand Canyon

If you don't go to Enshi Grand Canyon, it's basically for nothing. Enshi Grand Canyon combines Enshi's natural scenery with great beauty, fully demonstrating the infinite beauty here.

Enshi Grand Canyon tickets are not cheap, but they are still worth it.

The scenic spot is divided into two stages:

The first stage is to see the landscape of the fissure waterfall, which is the Grand Canyon. The ground joints are all wooden plank roads with a vertical height of several hundred meters, which does not require much physical strength.

The second stage is to climb the plank road to the top of the mountain to see all kinds of strange peaks and rocks. The plank road leading to the top of the mountain has to climb tens of thousands of stone steps. Even if there is a cable car on the slide bar, you can't get on it casually. If you are physically weak or elderly, I suggest you go back the same way after watching "Rift". Don't try to be brave to avoid danger.

after buying the ticket, you need to take the scenic sightseeing bus to the entrance of the ground fissure.

we will climb from this place. The vertical sightseeing ladder was not open that day, so we had to climb the plank road to the top of the mountain.

the steps in this section are steep and difficult to walk. But for the rest of the journey, it can only be regarded as rain in Mao Mao!

this is the slider. People who are physically weak can take this, and the price is awesome. But I didn't see the porter at all.

day 5

Enshi Hualong City Hotel

Locals call this noodle "bean skin"

Pork floss preserved egg porridge

Dong people's house in Fengxiangpo, Enshi

lush bamboo forest

Every open space is effectively used to grow various vegetables.

the largest planting area is tea tree.

day 6

the scenery of Yangmei ancient village

just happened to catch up with the local villagers to get together and watch the performance together.

the expenses of the party will be raised by the villagers themselves. Pay more and pay less on a voluntary basis. Let's chip in.

recording accompaniment is not required. They are all self-painted and self-sung. The tune of folk songs is fixed, but the lyrics can be arranged at will, and you can come with your mouth open.

Xiang' eqing Bridge

This is the famous Xiang' eqing Bridge, with laifeng county in Hubei Province on one side and Longshan County in Hunan Province on the other. The two counties are separated by a bridge, which is unique in China.

Mountain scenery and delicious food

Crossing the bridge to Longshan to try Hunan cuisine, the method and taste are similar, but the food quantity is obviously not as good as that of Hubei.
