As the homeland of the Tujia people, it boasts intertwined canyons and caves—a daytime paradise and a lively nightscape 🌌 🔥**Top 4 Must-Visit Spots** 1⃣️ **Pingshan Canyon** ✔️ Dubbed "China's Semporna"! Sunlight pierces the canyon, casting magic on the lake—floating boats seem suspended in air 🚣 ✨ Local tip: Arrive before 9 AM for the 45 RMB "boat entry ticket," skipping 1,200 steps—totally worth it! 2⃣️ **Xuanen Night Views** ✔️ A river that holds all of Enshi's romance. Listen to folk songs by the shore at night—more enchanting than the 90 RMB cruise 🎶 🌉 Best visited at 8 PM for stunning lights! 3⃣️ **Tenglong Cave** ✔️ Asia's largest karst cave with a natural 20°C AC ❄️ ⚡ Don’t miss the cave performances—the 150 RMB ticket is justified 🎭 4⃣️ **Luyuanping** ✔️ A hidden waterfall hotspot!

Enshi Tusi Castle

📅 Itinerary Day1:Tenglong Cave. It’s situated in Lichuan but by train it’s very close. The cave is very deep and it hosts different scenarios. I recommend it. Day2: Enshi Grand Canyon. It takes more than 1h to go there and it’s important to arrive in the early morning. To be honest, I don’t recommend it: very expensive and the it’s not so interesting Day3: Enshi Tusi City 🏨 Accommodation : Huanian Buisness hotel 🍴 Food Recommendations : Chinese pizza for breakfast
