Enshi Prefecture is rich in tourism resources.

It is a great honor that today I will lead you to appreciate the "masterpiece" of nature-the beautiful Enshi Grand Canyon!

First of all, on behalf of Enshi people, I would like to extend my sincere welcome to you. Enshi is a magical and beautiful place, and it is a place that makes people linger. Enshi has a unique tourism resource endowment, a self-contained national culture and rich and colorful tourism commodities. Eight hundred miles of Qingjiang River and eight hundred miles of galleries are like songs and poems and dreams, and they are suspected to be fairyland.

Remind tourists: take care of the vegetation in the scenic spot, please don't smoke during the tour, please put the garbage into the pool!

Have you ever been to Huangshan and Zhangjiajie? Huangshan is a valley in the mountains, and the Grand Canyon is a mountain in the valley. Huangshan is granite, Zhangjiajie is seasonal sandstone, and the Grand Canyon is limestone. Huangshan is an intrusive rock, Zhangjiajie is a mechanical sedimentary rock, and the Grand Canyon is a chemical sedimentary rock. These three scenic spots have their own characteristics.

Huangshan Mountain is famous for its strange pines and rocks, and Zhangjiajie is famous for its natural bonsai. After seeing Enshi Grand Canyon, you will be impressed by its atmosphere and shock.

The main attractions of the Grand Canyon are concentrated in the front and back mountains. Qian Shan is a Triassic stratum formed 21-250 million years ago, so it is magnificent and angular. Houshan is a Permian stratum, which was formed 250-290 million years ago and has a beautiful and circular landform.

The Grand Canyon Scenic Area is summarized as: a ground fissure, two rivers, three plates, four wonders and five features.

1, crack

Refers to the cracks in Yunlong River. "Ground fissure" is now a term recognized by geologists as "karst landform". It refers to a very narrow water valley with considerable depth and length, which is manifested as a deep "natural rock crack" on the crust surface. Because it is difficult to form and preserve, "ground fissure" has become a popular tourist attraction.

Generally, ground fissures are narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and some are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The U-shaped ground fissures are extremely rare, and only Romania has similar ground fissures, which shows its scarcity and uniqueness.

2. Two rivers

One is Zhao Xuehe from Lichuan, and the other is Yunlong River from Fengjie. Yunlong River has a large amount of water and Zhaoxue River has a long channel. According to the principle of "taking the distance as the source", Duting Mountain in the upper reaches of Zhao Xue is considered as the positive source of Qingjiang River. Recently, it was found that the length of the upper reaches of Yunlong River may exceed that of Zhaoxue River, and a new theory has been put forward about the source of Qingjiang River.

The gifts brought by the two rivers are extraordinary. Zhao Xuehe brought the world's first cedar and the first cave in Asia, and Yunlong River brought the world's rare sinkholes, ground fissures and underground rivers.

3. Three plates

The Grand Canyon is divided into five functional areas, and the main boundary has three plates: one is the East Rock Plate, which is mainly for adventure tourism; The second is the Dafeng plate, which is mainly for leisure and vacation; The third is the Qixingzhai plate, which is mainly for landscape sightseeing. Today we go to Qixingzhai plate.
