Is Enshi really beautiful?

Enshi, the full name of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, is located at the southwest end of Hubei Province and is the youngest autonomous prefecture in China. There are 27 ethnic groups living here, including Tujia, Miao, Han and Dong. Enshi is surrounded by mountains, and its beautiful natural scenery and unique folk customs are well preserved.

The beauty of Enshi lies in its natural landscape and ethnic customs. Tourists don't have to stick to the route and go wherever they want, so they can often find good scenery at any time.

The scenery in Enshi is dominated by picturesque scenery and grotesque caves. The main scenic spots are Qingjiang River, Tenglong Cave, Yumuzhai, Dashuijing Ancient Buildings Ancient Architecture Ancestral Hall, Xingdou Mountain Primitive Forest, Tusi King City, Tujia Handicraft Hall and Sobuya Stone Forest. In addition, the diaojiao building of Tujia nationality, the wind and rain bridge in Dong township, the daughter's party in July, the mowing of grass and gongs and drums during farming, the Salo dance at the funeral and Qing Ji's waving dance all show rich and colorful Enshi customs.

With unique tourism resources, it is known as a "leisure resort". Qifeng grotesque rocks, karst caves and waterfalls, and famous flowers in Linhai abound, forming beautiful, majestic, unique and steep tourism resources. There are international tourist attractions-Shennongxi, Qingjiang River, the first drift in China, Tenglong Cave, the first village of Tujia nationality-Yumuzhai, the first stone forest in Jingchu-Sobuya Stone Forest and Comrade Xiaoping.

Enshi Prefecture is known as the "forest in western Hubei" and "Central China Botanical Garden", with many scenic spots, many nationalities and unique customs. It is one of the regions with the richest tourism resources, the best ecological environment and the most unique folk customs in Hubei Province.

There are countless beautiful scenery in Enshi: Enshi Grand Canyon is magnificent and rare at home and abroad; Lichuan Tenglongdong World Miracle, Wolong Yangtze River; The ancient trees in Pingbaying of Xianfeng are towering, and the cuckoo is like fire; Shennongxi and Qingjiang are famous for drifting overseas. There are also the first Chinese fir in the world, the first Tujia city in China and the first stone forest in Jingchu ... This is a generous gift from nature to Enshi people.

The folk customs interpreted by the simple and kind Enshi Tujia and Miao children are even more enduring. There is Oriental Valentine's Day here-Tujia "Daughter Club"; Tujia people's life and death song and dance-"Salho" in Badong; There is also the Dragon Boat Song, one of the 29 world folk songs ... which is an invaluable treasure left by the ancient Tujia and Miao ancestors.

The mountains, water, caves and feelings here are fascinating, and the magical and beautiful Enshi is worthy of its name. From "making tourism the leader of the tertiary industry in our state" to "China healthy tourism base-ecological Enshi Prefecture, Tujia and Miao customs garden", all reflect Enshi people's dream of building a big tourist state. "During the planning period, we will turn our prefecture into the most growing folk eco-tourism base in Central China, carefully cultivate a' green Enshi Tujia and Miao customs garden' with beautiful ecological environment, rich ethnic customs and distinctive image characteristics, and strive to build an Enshi Qingjiang eco-cultural tourism destination. Specifically, it is to interact with eight counties and cities in Quanzhou, integrate Quanzhou tourism resources, radiate surrounding areas, and gradually build a T-shaped structure of Enshi tourism around Tenglongdong, Enshi Grand Canyon, Tusi City, Qingjiang Chuangtan, Shennongxi and Pingbaying. " This is the requirement of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for Enshi Tourism Development for the development direction of Enshi tourism. The goals are: by the end of the 11th Five-Year Plan, Quanzhou received 3.62 million tourists from home and abroad, including 200,000 overseas tourists and 3.42 million domestic tourists; The total tourism revenue is 2/kloc-0.40 billion yuan, accounting for 7.5% of the state's GDP, of which the inbound tourism revenue is 25 million US dollars and the domestic tourism revenue is/kloc-0.94 billion yuan.

Since the beginning of this year, our state has vigorously carried out tourism promotion activities, successfully held the "Chinese and foreign photographers see Enshi" activity, and launched the TV scenery film "Myth Enshi"; In May and June, "Enshi Ethnic Tourism Culture Week" was held in Wuhan, and tourism product promotion activities were held in Chongqing, which greatly publicized Enshi tourism and greatly enhanced its popularity and influence. Especially in August, during the National Day, the 2007 Enshi Folk Culture and Art Festival was held, and a large number of excellent programs with local and ethnic characteristics were launched, which attracted a large number of foreign tourists and greatly promoted the development of tourism in Quanzhou.

The National Tourism Administration will take this year as the year of scenic spot construction, intensify the construction of five core scenic spots, build a number of fine scenic spots, and enhance the market attraction and competitiveness. The overall packaging of Enshi Grand Canyon is in full swing, Pingbaying Forest Park has been revised, Tenglong Cave has been newly renovated and opened to welcome guests, and Shennongxi has rushed to 5A scenic spot ... At present, the upsurge of Enshi tourist scenic spot construction is coming. The "bottleneck" that hinders Enshi tourism is gradually being broken. Enshi airport has been expanded, and the traffic conditions in various scenic spots have been greatly improved. Yiwan Railway and Shanghai-Chengdu-West Expressway will also be completed within two years.

Thoughts on the Development of Enshi Tourism

Open the "manual" of Hubei tourism, and the mysterious Enshi occupies an important seat. But when it comes to Enshi tourism, many people think that "there are many things to see and few selling points". What are the highlights? The remaining veins of Daba Mountain, Wushan Mountain and Wuling Mountain meet here, such as Pingfeng and Yanyun. Tujia and Miao people's interpretation of ethnic customs is melodious, and a song "Dragon Boat Tune" evokes people's infinite reverie ... So, why "watch more and sell less"? To this end, I specifically analyzed its current situation and existing problems, and made some brief thoughts.

Enshi Prefecture is also the birthplace of Ba culture. Bachu culture and Bayu culture blend here, which is the cradle of Tujia and Miao cultures and has accumulated rich and colorful national cultures. Hand-waving dance, chime dance, dragon-rolling dance, folk songs, love songs, the sea of songs is like a tide. Therefore, Enshi is not only a paradise for tourism and leisure, but also a fertile ground for national culture.
