The cool heart valley, a perfect retreat from the summer heat

In the scorching summer days, the city is like a huge steamer, making it unbearably hot. However, the heart valley in Enshi, Hubei, offers a cool paradise, as if nature has prepared a precious gift for those suffering from the heat. Taking a high-speed train from Chongqing North to Gaoping Station, a journey of over three hours will take you there to enjoy the natural bounty. The area boasts spectacular canyons, unique geological formations, clear streams, and waterfalls among other natural landscapes. You can admire the breathtaking views of cliffs, deep valleys, and peculiar peaks up close. If time allows, it's ideal to pick a weekend to stay with family or friends. The Cliff Dwelling in the scenic area is a characteristic cliff glass homestay, surrounded by canyons on three sides, offering a 270-degree exquisite view. It feels like a fairyland on the cloud top, with green peaks standing tall on both sides of the canyon, quiet and profound, definitely worth experiencing for a night. After breakfast in the early morning, step into the heart valley with a joyful and relaxed mood, feeling the gentle breeze. The area has the unique freshness and moisture of the mountains. Crossing the high-altitude glass bridge and walking along the winding path, you are flanked by towering cliffs, like huge green screens, keeping the outside heat firmly at bay. On the cliffs, lush vegetation grows wildly, vines intertwine, and moss dots, adding a touch of mystery to this quiet canyon, like a natural green scroll. The stream in the valley is crystal clear, and the sound of the babbling water is like a melodious symphony. The water jumps and flows between stones of various sizes, splashing white foam, bringing a hint of coolness. Strolling through, feeling the cool mist underfoot, listening to the cheerful songs of birds, and breathing in the air rich in negative ions, it seems that all worries are left behind. The deeper you go into the valley, the more you can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. The naturally formed mountain god stone statue and the heart stone that makes people want to give a heart sign for a photo are so magical, offering visitors a rich imagination. Escaping the heat in the heart valley is not only a physical coolness but also a spiritual purification. Here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, returning to the embrace of nature, the soul finds unprecedented relaxation and tranquility.
