I am from Hubei, and Enshi is simply the pride of us Hubei people. Enshi has 29 ethnic minorities living here for generations, with integrated cultures and simple folk customs. Many people come here to visit just because they are attracted by the natural geographical environment and characteristic dwellings.

Transportation:

Enshi has Xujiaping Airport, about 5 kilometers away from the city center. There are direct flights to Wuhan, Chongqing, Yichang and other places.

If you take the high-speed rail, Shanghai and Beijing. Guangzhou also has direct high-speed rail. We go there by car. There are many roads in Enshi Mountain, making driving difficult. We usually go from Wuhan to Yichang to Enshi, or from Chongqing to Lichuan and finally to Enshi.

Accommodation:

There are generally two hotels when going to Enshi. The first one is Enshi Grand Canyon Daughter Village Hotel, located in Enshi Grand Canyon. You can see the view of the Grand Canyon from the room. The other one is Enshi Ruixiang International Hotel, because it is in the city center, with convenient transportation and good environment.

Climate:

Enshi also has the highest temperature in July and August, but because it is located in a mountainous area, the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large, so remember to bring a jacket!

Diet:

In the past few days, I have come into contact with Zhazha, fake hot pot, Zhazha cakes, and fried potatoes (potatoes). Overall it's cheaper. Even in the scenic area, you can buy a snack for 10 yuan, which is basically a reasonable price. But the whole salty and spicy feeling is not my cup of tea at all. These days, I have to live on pineapples.

Fruit prices are slightly higher. After visiting a few fruit shops, I felt the prices were a bit higher than those in Imperial Capital. Maybe it's a mountainous area and transportation is inconvenient.

Souvenir:

Lichuan Coptis

Lichuan Coptis is a traditional Chinese medicinal material, a specialty of Lichuan County, Hubei Province, and a trademark product of China National Geographic. Lichuan Coptis is shaped like chicken feet, so it is called Chicken Claw Coptidis, and it is also called Nan'an William Root. It is said that Beijing Tongrentang uses Lichuan Coptis as its raw material. In 1976, Lichuan was designated as the "National Coptis Base". The quality of Lichuan Coptis ranks first in the country, and its annual output is second only to Chongqing Shizhu, ranking second in the country.

Yi Black Tea

Yichang Black Tea, also known as Yichang Gongfu Tea, is one of the main Gongfu tea varieties in my country. Historically, Yichang got its name from its distribution center, processing center and export center.

Se-rich tea

Se-rich tea can lower blood lipids, lose weight, and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. There is a very close relationship between drinking tea and losing weight. The book "Shen Nong's Materia Medica" mentioned the weight loss effect of tea more than 2,000 years ago: "Long-term use will make you feel comfortable and replenish your qi. Travel lightly and you will never grow old."

: Tips:

1. If the weather is bad, prepare a raincoat in advance. A one-time payment of 5 yuan is enough.

2. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to book your trip. If necessary, just make a reservation a day or two before going.

Don’t worry too much about your physical strength. You will find many five-year-old children and elderly people in their fifties and sixties walking with you.

4. If you have to choose between knee braces and crutches, choose crutches.

5. You don’t need to prepare too much water and food, and the scenic spots are relatively cheap.

6. Choose a zippered or deep pocket, otherwise your phone may fall into the abyss accidentally.

7. You can bring an empty cup, and there is usually a hot water supply in the middle.

8. Be prepared for motion sickness in advance, and remember to bring motion sickness medicine and motion sickness patches. Don't let physical reasons affect your mood.

9. The restaurants in the scenic spots are relatively average, but the large bowls of wine in Enshi and Her Country are very good. In addition, there are many snacks in Tusi City. A gift must be eaten!

10. Avoid acclimatization.

You can drink some vinegar or eat some raw garlic before eating.
