Two-day tour of Tenglong Cave in Lichuan, Enshi Grand Canyon, Chongqing

The Lichuan Tenglong Cave in the Enshi Grand Canyon in Chongqing is unfamiliar to many people, but it is a place worth visiting. You will have a fantastic trip, and you can see the charm of nature and humanistic spirit along the way. Let's share the two-day tour guide of Lichuan Tenglong Cave in Enshi Grand Canyon, Chongqing.

Transportation: It is recommended to take the bullet train, because both ordinary trains and buses take a long time. There are many trains from Chongqing to Enshi Lichuan, starting at 6 o'clock at the earliest and ending at 4 o'clock at the latest. You can buy according to your own needs.

First stop: Enshi

We took the train on the afternoon of June 30th and arrived in Enshi at about eight o'clock. As soon as we got off the train, we felt the enthusiasm of Enshi.

It's really convenient to go out since Didi took a taxi. When we got off the train, we asked Didi to take a taxi to our daughter's city.

Daughter City is located in Qiliping, the center of the city. It is no more than 30 yuan by taxi.

On the way, I heard from the driver that there are many people coming to my daughter's city every day. There was a traffic jam on the way to Daughter City. Eat, drink and have fun, and there are Tujia folk performances to watch, but the price level inside is similar to that outside. Housing and meals are not too expensive, so there is no need for tickets.

We booked the Daughter City Art Hotel online in advance at the price of 175 yuan for two. There is a balcony in the room. You can see the whole daughter city by opening the window. Although the beds marked on the Internet are 1.2m wide, they are almost all 1.5m wide. The three of us were going to book another single room. Seeing the bed in the room, our affection for our daughter city suddenly rose to a higher level.

We cleaned it up briefly. At about nine o'clock, we began to go out to eat. There are many bars in Daughter City, which makes my heart itch. However, considering that I was in a hurry the next morning, I went to find a snack shop. Their specialties are grilled fish and braised prawns (crayfish). The three of us ordered a grilled fish and some vegetarian dishes. The grilled fish is really delicious and the boss is very nice. We said he sounded like a Chongqing native, and he showed us his ID card, which showed that he was a native of Enshi. It's almost ten o'clock after eating and drinking, and there are fewer people in the city.

We visited the daughter city in the moonlight. The architectural style is a combination of antique and Tujia diaojiao building, and the commercial format is very rich, including bars, ordinary restaurants, small supermarkets, literary model coffee shops and so on. Back to the hotel, it was almost eleven o'clock. I stood on the balcony and looked at the night view of my daughter's city.

On July 1 day, we got up at 7: 30 in the morning and went to a breakfast shop to eat some jiaozi and wonton. We booked a bus to Enshi Grand Canyon online.

It is almost 40 kilometers from Daughter City to Enshi Grand Canyon, and there is also a shuttle bus to the Grand Canyon in Enshi City, but we chose Didi taxi because the price is different. Carpool one person 30 yuan, chartered car 150.

There are many people running this line in the name of Didi outside the daughter city. The price tag of Didi Ride is about 90 yuan. Usually someone will take the order soon. After receiving the order, they will call you to ask if you accept carpooling and negotiate the price with you.

At about 8: 30, we started from Daughter City to Enshi Grand Canyon. The traffic in the city is very good. Out of the city, I finally understand why I have to run for more than an hour and more than 40 kilometers. If you get carsick, you must throw up when you get to the Grand Canyon.

Fortunately, none of us get carsick, and the master's driving level is online.

At about ten o'clock, we arrived at Enshi Grand Canyon Tourist Reception Center. We bought tickets online in advance, because Enshi Grand Canyon has the largest number of tourists. It is cheaper to buy tickets online and in sightseeing bus 190 yuan than in the tourist reception center 10 yuan. If you have any luggage, you can leave it on the first floor of the tourist reception center. 10 yuan has one piece, unlimited time.

There are many people selling crutches and hats near the reception center. If the physical strength is really not good, you can buy a crutch, about ten yuan.

It's very hot in summer, so be sure to wear sunscreen, an umbrella and sunglasses. It takes about 5 hours to walk the whole Grand Canyon. The first two hours will be particularly hard, and the more you get to the back, the more energetic you will be.

We went to the Yunlong River Rift Valley first. When you go in, you will sigh that nature is really amazing. It takes about 40 minutes to sew around Yunlong River, then go back to the scenic spot by car, and then go to Qixingzhai by car. In addition to the scenic bus, you can also choose to take the cableway. However, I personally suggest not to use the ropeway, because the ropeway only shortens the walking time by about 30 minutes. When the bus arrived at the gate of Qixingzhai Scenic Area, our mountaineering trip officially began. Along the way, you can enjoy the sky, cliff promenade, Longmen Stone Forest and so on. Personally, I especially like the feeling of climbing to the top of the mountain overlooking the mountains, so I am very excited on the way to climb the mountain. There will be a warm reminder board along the way to remind you how many steps you have taken and how many meters above sea level you are now, which is particularly warm.

On the day we went, we went in the direction of the sea of clouds. Unfortunately, the weather was not very good and we didn't see the sea of clouds, but the weather was fine, and it was cool and comfortable all day. During the whole journey, we formed a circle around several mountains and returned to the tourist reception center of the scenic spot. When we arrived at the tourist reception center, there was an escalator and 30 yuan was alone. We have a great sense of accomplishment in our hearts, so we insist on not taking the escalator and walking all by ourselves. That section of the road was all downhill, and I finally realized what "going up the mountain is easy, but going down the mountain is difficult". My calf muscles are stiff, and I feel dull pain every time I get off the ladder. So I suggest you sit down and rub your calves on the way to climb the mountain to relax your muscles.

Back on the bus in the scenic spot, the whole person relaxed. We started to climb the mountain around 10 in the morning and returned to the tourist reception center at the gate of the scenic spot at 4 pm. It happens that the reception center has the last bus to Lichuan at 4: 30, and it costs 20 yuan a person. Lichuan is nearly 30 kilometers away from the Grand Canyon, and the driving time is about 1 hour.

Second stop: Tenglong Cave in Lichuan

Enshi Grand Canyon has a direct bus to Tenglong Cave in Lichuan. We originally planned to stay here in the Grand Canyon, but considering that the performance of Tenglong Cave will be after 10 am the next day, we decided to stay in Lichuan. On the way from Enshi Grand Canyon to Lichuan, I slept all the way, woke up and turned on the navigation, and saw that I had passed the hotel we booked. We let the master park in the most convenient parking place and then took a taxi to the hotel. The starting price of Lichuan is very cheap, only four yuan. We booked the Lichuan Haojing Hotel, which is located in the new district, and the surrounding area is not particularly prosperous, but the hotel staff is very enthusiastic and let us store our luggage for free. The hotel has its own restaurant, the price of vegetables is civilian, and it tastes good. We eat almost all breakfast, lunch and dinner in their restaurant. We had beef noodles, porridge and fried noodles for breakfast. I like his cabbage and pickles very much. After dinner, we walked along their Qingjiang River. After returning to the hotel, we began to book tickets to Tenglong Cave. Book online 170 yuan, including laser performance and song and dance performance.

The temperature in Tenglong Cave is low. If you are really afraid of the cold, you need to take a coat. It's no problem for young people to wear short sleeves and shorts. I wore a short-sleeved skirt that day. Although I felt a little cold after watching half of the dance performance, I didn't feel anything walking around. But if it is winter, it is estimated that more warm babies need to be posted. When you come to Tenglong Cave, you must calculate his performance time. Light show 10: 20- 10: 40 in the morning and 15: 20- 15: 40 in the afternoon. Tujia Dance Performances11:10-12: 00 and16: 20-17:/0 in the afternoon.

On July 2nd, we set off from the hotel at 9 am and took a taxi to the scenic spot, 12 yuan, which took about ten minutes. Tenglong Cave has five peaks, 10 halls and 10 underground waterfalls. There are mountains in the cave, there are holes in the mountain, the water hole is connected with the main hole, and the main hole is connected with the branch hole. No poisonous gas, snakes and scorpions, no pollution, constant temperature 14- 18℃ all year round in the cave, and smooth air.

The whole tour took us about two hours. There is sightseeing bus in the cave, and the round trip is only 10 yuan. We chose to walk, and it took us about half an hour to walk to the laser show performance venue, marveling at the wonders of nature all the way. Because I didn't go to Baidu Laser Show, the laser show I understand is to show various forms in caves with lights. Only after reading it did I know that this is a love story with lights. People left one after another before the end of the light show, and we followed the big troops to the song and dance performance venue. Song and dance performances mainly show the customs and habits of Tujia funeral and marriage. This director is the director of Legend of Song Dynasty, but in contrast, Legend of Song Dynasty is much more grand. This is more grounded. After watching the song and dance performance, it's almost past twelve o'clock. Let's go out and wait for the bus to return to the hotel. It's five yuan each. There are fewer taxis in the scenic spot, so you can only make an appointment. The fare back to the city is estimated to be around 25.

We went back to the Grand View Hotel and ordered some special dishes. Lichuan's eating habits are not much different from those in Sichuan, so there is not much that surprises me about food.

While eating, it suddenly rained heavily, and we were glad that we had come back. After dinner, we visited Lichuan, a very suitable place to live.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, we took the bullet train back to Chongqing. As soon as I got off the train, I especially missed the coolness of Tenglong Cave. The two-day trip ended here, and I lamented the wonders of nature countless times along the way.

Our per capita consumption: round-trip train fare 170 Other transportation: 70 catering: 150 accommodation: 100 (two nights) Admission: 350 (Enshi Grand Canyon 180 Tenglong Cave 170). Total: 840 yuan
