Travel guide of Pingshan gorge in Hefeng

Pingshan Gorge in Hefeng, Enshi, Hubei Province is really strange to many people, but the boats floating on the clear water here are known as the China version of Semporna. Although there has been an accident recently, I still can't resist its aesthetic side. Here are some detailed strategies to share with you.

Leaving the hustle and bustle of Enshi City and driving on Panshan Highway for about four hours, you can get rid of the fog and come to the mountains of Hefeng County.

Frankly speaking, the coordinates of Enshi Hefeng have never been in my travel plan. I am not cared for by literati here, nor am I as ingenious as Zhangjiajie. But this time, I firmly drove for four hours to this place, just to find the "Upright" that was once a hit on the Internet.

The word "floating boat" always gives people a mysterious feeling. Now that it is suspended, can the ship soar in the sky? I don't know about you, but when I first heard these three words, the question flashed through my mind.

Only when I saw the picture did I know that the so-called floating character was just a description of the pure bottomless water in the canyon. That kind of purity is pure without any impurities, and it has a tangible and intangible taste. The boat floats on it and feels like flying in the air.

Some people say that traveling is going from a place where you are tired of living to a place where others are tired of living. In my opinion, travel is a new way of life, which allows people to experience different tastes of life, meet different people and taste different foods. This feeling can't be given by other activities.

There are also some people who say that they prefer natural landscapes to those human landscapes. After all, it's not the same as manual carving. In my opinion, there are few natural landscapes in the city. Tired of work and life, there is always a feeling of escape. The natural landscape may be the starting point of this hasty escape.

Since it is a secret place, it is not easy to be discovered. It must be hidden deep in the mountains.

Walking through this stone gate with a strong folk flavor, bypassing several big bends and stepping down the mountain path, you come to a huge cave. At first glance, I knew that the cave was artificially dug, and its ornamental value was not very strong, but the bottomless length always gave people a sense of mystery.

After walking for about ten minutes, I saw some light, and then I walked a little further and came out. When I walked out of the cave, I suddenly realized that I had unconsciously come to the riverside of Pingshan Canyon.

When I reached the bottom of the valley, I looked up and suddenly felt the magnificence of the mountains and rivers. Bend over to be hydrophilic, brush a piece of green, that kind of coolness and purity can't be described in words, there is a feeling of biting ice, crystal clear beauty.

By boat, the canyon gradually narrows from wide to narrow. The narrowest time is less than 1.5 meters. As long as one person is not careful, his head may hit the cliff of the canyon outside the ship's rail. I remember that when I crossed the first line of sight, the whole ship held my breath and listened attentively to the boatman's orders, for fear that a person would leave any scars if he didn't pay attention.

Standing on a high place, you don't think that only by going deep into the canyon can you feel the steepness of the mountain. Here, you can feel the scenery described by Li Daoyuan, that is, "the mountains on both sides of the strait are connected without gaps". It is no exaggeration to put this sentence in Pingshan Canyon. About twenty minutes by boat, we came to the depths of the canyon. The scenery here has become much wider, no longer steep, only beautiful.

According to the tour guide, the most important purpose of our trip is to shoot "floating boats". Are you an online celebrity after all? Supposedly, I won't get too excited. I once saw a bamboo raft "flying" on the water in Jiuzhaigou. However, this time I'm going to board the "Upright" and touch such pure water with my own hands. I am still a little excited to think about it!

Through the jungle, through the suspension bridge, a little while later, I came to the online celebrity punch card office.

Although the water there is very clear, it is covered with green and blue light under the sunshine and forest. But the boat is on it, and it always feels a little suspended. I can't help asking the tour guide why there is no effect of online celebrity pictures. She told me with a smile that the pictures of online celebrities are located in the avoidance gorge upstream of Pingshan Gorge, which is not a scenic spot. You need to find a local guide to lead the way secretly. At present, the government has closed this special line. From this perspective, online celebrities are legends after all, and the distance from reality needs imagination and PS technology to fill.

In addition to taking photos with floating boats, there is also a mountaineering sport here.

I have always loved climbing mountains, but it was a pity that the sun was shining and the temperature was extremely high that day. What kind of experience is it to climb a mountain at an altitude of 1000 meters with my grandfather and grandson at a high temperature of more than 40 degrees? Excited to think about it!

Besides the high temperature in the mountains, it is worth mentioning the plank road hanging in the mountains. Because the mountain is tall and straight and magnificent, the hiking trail here is not built by digging mountains, but there is a suspended plank road above the cliff. This design also gives another thrilling feeling to climb the mountain.

It can be said that God helps those who help themselves. Even if they are sweating, the cool breeze blowing from the valley is a cool experience. Such a wind can't blow in the city.

The benevolent Leshan, the wise happy water.

When you come to Pingshan Canyon, you can experience a floating boat, step on the plank road in the cliff, climb the mountain deep in the canyon, walk through the water and look up at the mountain. This is also a perfect experience of being close to nature.

Second, the itinerary

Get up at 06:00 and take a special bus from the hotel.

10:30, after many twists and turns, I finally arrived at the scenic spot.

14:30, the assembly is ready to return.

15:30, halfway into the farmhouse for dinner.

19:00, arrived in Enshi city.

Third, travel precautions

1. There are many boutique tours in Enshi, only about ten people, and there are also dozens of bus tours. Of course, you can also ask a guide to drive you to explore the depths of the mountains.

From my personal experience and experience, I think the boutique group is a good choice, with fewer people and faster action, and the bus is much more comfortable than the business car.

2. You will see many irregular billboards along the way, which say that local tour guides can take you into the refuge canyon. There is no need to doubt their authenticity, but I must remind you that it is really unsafe to avoid the canyon. Mountain torrents often erupt, and falling rocks will fly from the height of the cliff. Many factors are uncontrollable and it is not recommended to go.

In addition to camera equipment, remember to bring travel inflatable pillows, water, cool oil, motion sickness medicine and other necessities, but also know how to relax when driving in long-distance mountainous areas.
