Enshi Grand Canyon Self-Driving Travel Notes

The family’s trip started from the Changling No. 2 Tunnel after 45 minutes of traffic jam due to a thunderstorm on the highway. There are all roads, fog shields left and right, and countless tunnels. In addition to the Changling Tunnel, the unforgettable Jinlong Tunnel is 8,603 meters long. Many special-long tunnels are measured in kilometers.

When crossing the Qingjiang River, there were fewer people and more mountains. There were corn stalks everywhere on the mountains. Many classic quotes come from feelings, and here we are, finally entering the Enshi Grand Canyon!

Breathing the moist air, my whole body is moisturized! A group of 12 of us crossed the foot of the waterfall in the 10,000-meter cliff corridor and climbed an 8.1-kilometer mountain road. The 70-year-old grandparents did not dedicate the 1,200 yuan (150 yuan per mountain) human slide fee to Enshi Tourism. This must be commended.

Kobanawa’s brothers and sisters have gone well all the way and worked hard to lead the way. The perseverance of an extraordinary person is something I did not expect in advance. The words "hug" and "carry" did not come out from between the teeth. There should be applause here.

Finally, we walked into Yunlong, feeling the cold wind blowing from the rock walls at the bottom of the valley, listening to the rushing sound of the stream hitting the boulders, and the most beautiful rainbow hidden in the waterfall, which was the little flower. favorite. She said it was so small and magical (the rainbow in her heart used to hang in the sky after the rain, and she could see it here every day, and it was in a waterfall). In the future, I must come and listen to this unique world, its sound is so beautiful.

Why is the price so low today when I went yesterday? The people inside the horse whip were exhausted. The most embarrassing thing was that there were no street lights in the scenic area at night. When I went to the toilet, I kicked my feet on the ladder. There were no lights in the toilet on the second floor, the escalator, or the parking lot. I have been looking for a car for a long time. The road from the top of the city to the scenic spot is so damned. Can’t the roads in the scene

This is my second time here. Ropeways and elevators were added. I remember that my legs almost broke while walking up and down the mountain. This time, I took the old man with me. Without the ropeway and elevator, I believe I would not be able to come back. Personally, I think it is more suitable to go to the Grand Canyon on sunny days or cloudy days.

If it is cloudless, you will not be able to see the spectacular sea of ??clouds from the observation deck by taking the elevator on the return trip. During this Golden Week, it rained almost every day. Before nightfall on the 5th, we actually saw the sea of ??clouds. Although the lighting is not particularly good, it is still spectacular.

If the weather is bad, remember to buy shoe covers and raincoats in advance. On the way back to the scenic spot, the trash cans were full of discarded raincoats and shoe covers, which was very unenvironmentally friendly.

I went to Qixingzhai Grand Canyon on National Day. The beauty of the Grand Canyon in the continuous rain was beyond expectations, and the misty beauty in the misty rain was another taste. Moreover, when rainy days are approaching, people cannot avoid it, so there are fewer people, which is good.

Enshi Grand Canyon and Zhangjiajie both belong to Wuling Mountain. The main attractions include Canyon Mountain, Cliff Corridor, and Incense. The whole journey takes 6 hours.

The scenery in Enshi Grand Canyon is still great. But the overall feeling is inferior to Zhangjiajie. I'm lazy, and so is my mother. We got on the ropeway, got off the elevator (elevator 30 yuan/person), and then climbed four mountains on foot. The whole journey took three and a half hours.

It rained all the time on October 1st. There was white mist in the mountains and nothing could be seen. Damn it, people who didn’t know it thought they had encountered Silent Hill.

It is recommended to carpool at Lichuan Railway Station, the price is around 50-60 yuan/person.

I originally wanted to see if there was a detailed guide to the attractions here, but I couldn’t find it after searching for a long time. I went to work out a simple strategy today for your reference:

The Enshi Grand Canyon Scenic Area has only one entrance and exit, and the ticket is 200 per person, including the scenic bus. The scenic area is divided into two major areas: "Yunlong Ground Seam" and "Qixing Village". Walking through the ground cracks in the valley, there is a stream there, with waterfalls on both sides, and the slope is not large. The whole trip gave people a clammy feeling. Qixingzhai is basically all about mountain climbing, but there are famous attractions such as Xiangyi Incense and Cliff Plank Road, so it is relatively sunny.

The crack in the ground is close to the door. The official recommendation is to drill ground cracks first, then take the cable car (105 yuan one way) or bus (free, included in the 200 yuan ticket), but the place where you take the bus is 1.5km steeper than the place where you take the cable car, and there are almost no flat roads. Buffer. Friends who choose to take the bus should be prepared) to go to Qixingzhai. Generally, Qixing Village does not go back. When you come back, you can’t take the cable car and then take the bus.

My experience is to go to Qixing Village first and then to the crypt. Regardless of whether you climb the 1.5km or not, it is relatively longer and more tiring than the crypt. I took the bus, which means I climbed the 1.5km. The entire Qixing Village lasted for three hours with almost no pauses. After drying for 3 hours (except

at the end.

half an hour without an elevator, 30 yuan each), it is wise to go to the cracks in the ground to cool down. The crack in the ground is a circle, and when you reach the elevator entrance, the road is blocked. The return trip took less than 1.5 hours.

In addition, it takes 5-10 minutes to drive from the gate to Dixiu, and 20 minutes to drive from Dixiu to Qixingzhai. Generally, the waiting time for the bus is not long, and you can leave as soon as the bus is full.
