In 2023, one of my biggest travel dreams was to visit Enshi, China. I’d been dreaming of it for more than 3 years! 🏞️
When I finally got the chance to go in 2023, it was EVERYTHING I had dreamed of! The first place we visited was Pingshan Canyon: where the water is invisible! 😶🌫️
Well it’s not REALLY invisible…but it’s so clear, that boats on the river surface appear to be floating on thin air! 🛶
The waters are naturally a vivid turquoise color. Stone structures take on shapes unlike anything you’ve seen before! 🦋🩵
It really feels as if you’re in another dimension; everything is so colorful and otherworldly. It will take your breath away! 🫣
Enshi should definitely be on EVERY China traveler’s 2024 bucket list!!

Want to go to Pingshan with the person you like to see the Love Gorge.
Pingshan Grand Canyon deserves to be called the most beautiful place in China by National Geographic, selected as the most beautiful fairyland in China by CNN, and known as the "Xianbenna" of China. The gem-like lake water and the beam of light shining into the cracks of the valley make people feel like they are in a painting in just one second.
About transportation
March 15th to October 15th
Scenic area opening hours: 8:30~16:00
(The remaining time is shortened to 15:30)
Ticket purchase: Adult ticket 210 yuan/person (including 165 yuan admission ticket and 45 yuan one-way canyon sightseeing ferry ticket)
Peak admission time: 10:00-13:00.
To avoid crowds while visiting, it is suggested to enter the scenic area as soon as the doors open. This way, there will be no need to queue for boat rides or photos, and the overall experience will be better. By the time the majority of visitors arrive, you will already be done with your visit.
Emphasize: Avoid crowds and play early in the morning when the sun has not yet shone into the valley and the scenery is cooler. The photos taken with the sun are more beautiful, especially for the popular floating boat, as the shadow under the boat cannot be captured too early.
Tour route:
Divided into regular sightseeing routes and boat-in, boat-out sightseeing routes.
Regular tour routes:
Enter the scenic area and start descending the stairs. Then, take the Yun Gang plank road - Gang Bu Tian Ti, and descend a few thousand steps to reach the Waterfront Platform. Here, there will be optional experience projects (which will be introduced later) - Shā Qīn Shuǐ (with a small stream and a waterfall, where you can play in the water and catch small fish. If you have enough time, you can stay longer). Then, cross the Ling Yun Bridge and Lan Su Bridge, and take a boat to tour Ying Cui Valley (to see the scenery of the One-Line Sky, etc.) at the Peach Blossom Ferry. After getting off the boat, enter the Nuo Yuan Cave. Inside, there are two branch caves with observation decks where you can overlook the waterway scenery that the boat passed through earlier. Especially, don't miss the beautiful scenery at the first branch cave. Many people keep climbing stairs with their heads down in the cave, missing the scenery and getting tired. Nuo Yuan Cave is a popular spot in the Ping Shan Grand Canyon with a heart-shaped symbol.
Ship entry and exit route
(At the ticket office of the visitor center, buy an additional sightseeing boat ticket for 45 yuan/person. Enter the scenic area from the Du Yu building exit. During peak season, this route stops selling tickets at 9:30 am.) The regular tour route enters and exits from the entrance and exit. The boat tour route enters and exits from the exit and exit, reducing about 1200 downward steps compared to entering from the entrance, without walking on the cliff plank road. It is suitable for tourists with acrophobia, younger or older age, poor knees or physical strength.
Internet-famous floating raft for taking photos, how many people come just for this photo.
The whole trip can be completed in 2-3 hours. It's cool in the mountains, so remember to bring sunscreen and mosquito repellent spray. The most important thing is to keep an eye on the weather. If it rains, the scenic area may be closed. Finally, I wish you all a pleasant journey!

🏞️Earth Core Valley: The karst landforms and mountain streams here complement each other, as if they are the most proud works of nature. Especially the exquisite scenery on the cliffs is breathtaking. You can also choose to stay in the cliffside民宿 of Earth Core Valley. This small wooden house nestled in the mountains allows you to admire the starry sky from your bed even on summer nights.
🏞️Ping Shan Grand Canyon: If Earth Core Valley is a masterpiece of nature, then Ping Shan Grand Canyon is a miracle of nature. Under the cliffs, the Tiffany blue glass lake is like a dazzling sapphire, embedded at the bottom of the cliff. The beauty here is definitely worth a two-hour drive to visit.

Pingshan Grand Canyon is worth the ticket price. The places I took photos are very cost-effective. If you don't exercise regularly, I suggest you take a boat to the scenic spot.
Pingshan Grand Canyon is worth the ticket price. The places I took photos are very cost-effective. If you don't exercise regularly, I suggest you take a boat to the scenic spot. Of course, you still have to walk more than 1,000 steps at the end. But it's better than climbing up the mountain. Otherwise, you'll be too tired. The scenery is really beautiful. It's worth a visit. I went to the scenic spot early in the morning, so there weren't many people. You can make a strategy before you set off.

Enshi Pingshan Canyon Scenic Area
Pingshan Grand Canyon is located in Hefeng County, Hubei Province, at the mysterious intersection of 110 degrees east longitude and 30 degrees north latitude. It belongs to the subtropical monsoon humid climate. This climatic feature makes the area suitable for all kinds of life to thrive. The average summer temperature is about 20.8 degrees, making it an excellent place to escape the heat.
Pingshan Grand Canyon is 18 kilometers long and was formed during the Quaternary glacial period (some say the Triassic period). The mountain body has various shapes, with towering cliffs on all sides, combining the wonders, beauty, and dangers of nature. The valley's landscape changes with each step, as if traveling through time and space; the boat travels on dust-free water, as if floating in the vast universe; stepping on the heavenly ladder, one can pick the stars in the sky. Its most representative attractions include the Dodging Gorge and the Moon-Watching Bridge, with clear streams and hundred-zhang cliffs on both sides, offering spectacular scenery.
Pingshan Grand Canyon not only has beautiful natural scenery but also condenses nearly a thousand years of Tusi civilization and the customs of ancient tribes. The Rongmei Tusi was once a powerful Tusi tribe in the Chu and Shu regions, and Pingshan Canyon was once the natural moat of the Rongmei Tusi's noble mansion, named for its benefit to the Tusi's evasion. In addition, Pingshan also has a profound red cultural heritage. During the Second Domestic Revolution, He Long personally went to Pingshan to select a site and established the largest and longest-held rear hospital of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in the Xiang-E border Soviet area.
In summary, Pingshan Grand Canyon is an excellent tourist destination that integrates natural scenery and historical culture. Whether you are pursuing natural beauty or exploring historical culture, you can find satisfactory answers here.

Over 100 kilometers away from the city, you'll need to rent a car or take a bus to get there
Going back and forth is quite painful [Cry][Cry]
It's recommended to allocate more time for the trip
💗Other tips: Be sure to check the weather!!
If the weather is bad, the water won't be blue and clear
You need consecutive sunny days~ Just perfect

The breathtaking Ping Shan Canyon
This is my second visit to Ping Shan Canyon, just to see that ray of sunlight shining to the bottom of the valley. The stunning beauty of Ping Shan is well captured in photos. Unfortunately, the previously blue water has now turned green, a deep green. I still feel that the blue was more beautiful! Additionally, after leaving the canyon, I heard that there was a safety incident and the place is now closed. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, safety comes first!

The small boat is like a leaf, floating on the continuous waves, carrying emotions in the green waters of the canyon
It's the fourth day of my trip to Enshi, and the continuous rain has made me a bit depressed. I was ready to take the bus back, but at the station, I impulsively decided to take a bus to Pingshan Canyon. This unintentional decision led to an unforgettable journey. The travel time was a bit long, about 3 hours. As soon as I entered the scenic area, the overlapping green peaks and the lush greenery immediately made me feel refreshed. After a short uphill path, the rest of the way was downhill. As I descended the steps, the peaks on both sides were covered in green, and a winding lake slowly stretched out, as green as a jade belt, weaving through the towering mountains, creating a vivid Chinese landscape painting. Near the water, the lake surface was as green as emerald, clear to the bottom. At this moment, the sky cleared up, and the long-awaited sunlight finally broke through, shining on the water. The small boat drifted with the wind on the water, like a leaf, without buoyancy, free and easy. Tourists took photos, capturing unforgettable moments. Moving forward, I saw a suspension bridge connecting both sides. Looking down at the water from the bridge, it was winding and calm, so beautiful that it made my heart flutter, and I couldn't help but want to savor it. After crossing the bridge, there was a boat dock. Taking a boat downstream, the water was narrow, the canyon was steep, and the forest was dense, making me truly admire the wonders of nature. Pingshan Canyon is like a magnificent gem, captivating and heart-stirring. My depressed mood finally began to relax, realizing that the beauty of nature is something you need to slowly appreciate. The small boat is like a leaf, floating on the continuous waves, carrying emotions in the green waters of the canyon.

Enshi Hefeng Pingshan Grand Canyon
The Pingshan Grand Canyon is located in Hefeng County, Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hubei Province, and is a natural wonder. It is about 18 kilometers long, formed during the Quaternary glacial period, with a unique topography. The difference in elevation between the peaks and the bottom of the river valley exceeds 1000 meters, creating rare canyon and earth fissure scenery.
It is known as 'China's Semporna' and has the nickname 'Oriental Noah's Ark'. Inside the canyon, streams wind around, and steep cliffs stand tall. The scenery is strange, dangerous, and beautiful, as if sailing among the verdant mountains in the heart of Wuling with thousands of hectares of azure waves.
In addition, Pingshan Grand Canyon also has a rich historical and cultural heritage. It was the paradise of the Rongmei Tusi, with the grand scale of the Tusi chieftain's residence being well-known far and wide. At the same time, it was also an important base for the Red Army on the border of Hunan and Hubei, leaving behind the imprint of red culture.

A must-visit place in a lifetime---Pingshan
A lifetime must also go to Pingshan located in Enshi, Hubei, known as China's 'Little Xianbenna'. When I went there, the facilities were not very well developed, so it was not that popular, and there were not so many people. The scenery is really super beautiful, worthy of nature's 900 million years of craftsmanship. There are quite a few mountain roads, so it would be more convenient to join a local day tour. It's definitely the kind of place you won't regret visiting
