Depart from Hankou Station on 10: 20 am and arrive at Enshi Station around 2: 00 pm. The train number is D2373 and the fare is 170 yuan.
Enshi railway station-convenience store
Enshi station is still quite big, because it belongs to the off-season of tourism, and there are not many people, and there are not many people in the square. About 50 meters to the left of the railway station is Enshi Tourism Distribution Center, where there is a scenic spot line that goes directly to Enshi Grand Canyon.
Because I am still interested in toast culture, I plan to put my luggage in the hotel first, and then go to Tusi City to have a look.
Ba Renju —— The first stop of Tujia customs
Enshi Barenju Folk Custom Boutique Hotel
The hotel is about 7 minutes drive from the station. The appearance of the hotel has local characteristics in Enshi. It is a two-story Tujia-style building with wooden structure, small blue tiles, lattice windows, cornices and corners.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do", the name of the hotel made me immediately know who the "Ba people" were-during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Ba people established the first Bazi country. In the first year of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Yang invited Qin, and Qin invaded Bazi, and some Ba people retreated to Wuling area. These Ba people are the origin of Tujia nationality.

Entering the gate, you can see the antique roof and the black and blue wooden beams. There are several white clouds floating in the middle of the roof, and the four corners are supported by a pillar, which stands high in the lobby and is full of ancient architectural charm. Go straight down the steps through the lobby and you will find a small leisure exhibition area. There are local specialty products to choose from, and you can also have a cup of the famous "Enshi Se-enriched Tea" at the leisure table nearby.
The guest rooms are all on the second floor. The corridor is transparent and bright, and the walls on both sides are painted with different landscape murals, which are full of local flavor.
The guest room is dominated by a large area of logs, and the vertical wooden screen separates the washing area from the rest area. This semi-open design makes the whole space look smooth and bright, especially with a sense of design.
I put down my things and sat for a while, ready to go to Tusi City. The receptionist greeted me warmly when she saw me go out and asked me where I was going. She also told me that there is a folk street nearby, and I can also go shopping.
Tusi City, the First Tujia City in China
I didn't know much about Tusi before I came here, and I also heard that Tusi City is equivalent to "Tusi Palace", which is a display area of Tujia culture and a museum of Tujia Miao Village customs. It is the largest tower in China, including the architectural art of Tujia, Miao and Dong people.
Every scenery in Tusi City is so pleasing to the eye. Whether it is natural scenery or Tujia attic, great humanistic buildings have their unique scenery and cultural heritage.

If I didn't really know about Tusi culture and Tusi City before, it might really be like visiting a park, but the scenery is quite good, except for a tour guide.
Tusi City is very big, with temples, halls, pavilions, buildings and bridges, which have a strong folk flavor. Therefore, cultural tourism still needs knowledge as the foundation, otherwise it can only be a simple experience of this atmosphere.
Folk Street-Tujia flavor gathering place
Tujia people smashed a bowl of wine, which was full of fragrance and heroism. Playing on the floor, perhaps this is the true nature of Enshi people.
There are countless delicious foods in Enshi. Because Enshi is close to Chongqing and Sichuan, the first feature of Enshi cuisine is spicy. Because Enshi is a minority autonomous region, the second characteristic is soil, which refers to the national characteristics of Tujia and Miao people. For example, Tujia bacon is fried in various ways.
After eating and drinking enough, I heard from the restaurant owner that there were folk performances here. I wanted to see them, but I had to get up early tomorrow, so I went back to the hotel to rest. The hotel is close to Folk Street, less than ten minutes' walk.
Grand Canyon-The Ultimate Enshi Tour
I feel that I can't get out of bed at home anyway, and I always feel sleepy when I come out to play. No matter how tired the day before, I still get up early and feel refreshed the next day.
After eating in the morning, I bought a special line to the Grand Canyon at 8: 30 in the tourist distribution center. The fare is 25 yuan, and the journey takes about one and a half hours.
Engshi Great Canyon
The scenery of the whole Qixingzhai is very good, but you need to climb a ladder if you want to go. The staff said that it takes less than five hours to walk and you can take the cableway decisively. The weather is fine. When you get on the cable car, you can look around, and the fog is very spectacular.
Qixingzhai scenic spot
A wick of incense is a treasure in the valley. The height of the rock exceeds150m, just like a Qing Xiang wick. After thousands of years of wind and rain, it still stands proudly among the peaks.

The 500-meter-long cliff plank road makes timid people tremble with fear. Feel Mao Mao, and courageous friends may be excited to go to the sky. Turning seven and eight bends, you can see that the magical and spectacular canyon stirs the vast sea of clouds, and the illusory "fairy spirit" renders the peaks that cover the valley.

As long as you spend 30 yuan, you can take the escalator down the mountain step by step. At the foot of the mountain, there was a traffic car waiting there, just for a few minutes, and soon it was pulled to Yunlong.

Cliffs on both sides of the rift valley are steep, waterfalls fly straight down, and the water quality of waterfalls is clear. Some people say that if I am lucky enough to see this rainbow, I will be very rich. It seems that I am destined to be ordinary and carefree.
