Opening: Who doesn't have a crush on Peach Blossom Spring

The paradise in everyone's heart is different.
It's inside of you, built by you.
So, what is the peach blossom garden in your heart like?
Some say a true peace or return,
Some people think it should be the place where the soul belongs.

Hubei Enshi, a dream-like name,
It is like a delicate little jasper,
Hidden deep in the rolling hills,
Walking into it, time and space flow, and you fall into a dream.

It is quiet and deep here, with gurgling water at the bottom of the valley,
Like the flowing rhyme of the sound of the piano, it continues all year round.
Here, every mountain, every river, every grass and every tree,
Elegant yet elegant in its simplicity, mellow in its beauty.

Stop on the mountain road, the top of the peaks,
Flying bridges take my dreams far away;
Looking up at the sky, the clouds are clear and the wind is light,
Blossoming white clouds are flying in that dreamlike place.

The world is bustling,
Perhaps this is where the peace of mind comes from.
And those who have a paradise in their hearts,
Never get lost on the wild trails.

Scorpio, a tunnel through time and space

Enshi, Hubei is a very popular tourist destination in recent years. It is located in the southwest of Hubei, without severe cold in winter and hot summer in summer. The Dixin Valley Scenic Spot is located in Gaoping Town, Jianshi County, Enshi, where the magic of natural craftsmen is reflected, the secrets of human origin are brewed here, and the stories of historical ancient roads are sung here. Human landscape, historical charm in one.

The entire Geocentric Valley scenic spot is characterized by danger, wonder, ancient, wild, secret, and beautiful. According to the layout of the traditional Chinese culture "Heaven, Earth, People, and Harmony", it is divided into the geocentric natural moat tourist area and the geocentric wonder tourist area. The four major sections of the Dixindongtian Tourist Area and the Bayan Ancient Road Tourist Area have different scenery.

Entering the scenic spot, the first thing to visit is the geocentric natural moat area. The 9D glass bridge first appeared in the field of vision. It is the first 9D glass suspension bridge in the country and the longest and highest canyon in southwest Hubei. The entire glass bridge is 268 meters long, the bridge deck is 3.2 meters wide, and the bridge deck is about 200 meters high from the river valley.

Looking down from the glass bridge, there is also a cable bridge between the canyons. It is Buyun Bridge, with a total length of 66 meters, and the bridge deck is about 166 meters from the bottom of the valley. They are all very auspicious numbers, implying the smoothness of six and six, and everything going smoothly.

Standing on the Buyun Bridge, the peaks are emerald, the clouds surround the peaks, the breeze blows by, the time and space flow, and the ancient costumes seem to have entered another era. A long dream has just begun.

There is a local saying: when you return from Jiuzhaigou, you don’t look at the water, and when you return from the center of the earth, you don’t look at the valley. Walking along the plank road that opens up against the mountain, or walking through the winding stone steps, there are many peaks in front of you, or they are huge and stable, standing upright;

Jiayin Pavilion, which means waiting for good news quietly, was once a gathering place for Tujia people to celebrate the harvest in ancient times. Every festive season, Tujia people will beat gongs and drums here to thank the gift of nature.

There are local rumors that if you walk around the Bagua pool, you will have good luck. There are many tourists who will throw coins into the Bagua pool to make a wish. Since they are here, they have to make a circle before leaving.

Poet fairy Li Bai once said: The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. The plank road in Enshi Earth Center Valley is a unique cultural landscape. It is characterized by being built by mountains and rivers, so it presents various postures and the scenery along the road is also different.

The cliff plank road in the center of the earth is built along the mountain wall. It twists and turns like a giant dragon lying on the mountain. The cliff is its mount, and the green trees are their scales. This plank road itself is a beautiful scenery.

This section of plank road leads to the bottom of the valley, and you can enjoy the changing scenery along the way, from distant mountains, canyons, to clear water, deep pools, and you have to sigh again for the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.

Wonders at the center of the earth, clear water and sky like poetry and painting


Walking along the plank road to the bottom of the valley, you can faintly hear the sound of gurgling water. This is the wonder area of ​​the center of the earth, with an average annual temperature of 19 to 21 degrees Celsius, warm in winter and cool in summer.

Traveling in this section of the canyon, you can reach the stone wall with your hands. The moss on the stone wall is green and soft; the river water under the plank road is white with snow-white waves;

Perhaps, only when you really go down to the bottom of the valley can you feel the soul of the inner valley. It turns out that the beauty of Enshi is as extraordinary and fascinating as imagined.

I walked very slowly throughout this section of the road. Not only can you see the quiet scenery here, but you can also carry out outdoor activities such as canyoning and canyoning. From the downstream of the canyon stream to the upstream is the canyon tracing, and the upstream is downward to the canyon descent, in order to overcome All kinds of obstacles on the terrain, the source of poor water and an expedition to the top of the mountain.

What the river tracing activities need is a team spirit. To complete the difficult climb is a kind of test for the river tracers, and at the same time, it can get a kind of trust and satisfaction.

On the cliff, strange trees hang upside down, ancient vines hang, and wild grass is elegant. At the bottom of the valley, the continuous moss on the surrounding stone walls, under the reflection of the Yingying clear water, writes the chapters of the years, releasing the long-lost negative oxygen ions, which makes people feel refreshed.

According to statistics, the number of negative oxygen ions in the wonders of the earth is about 8,500 per cubic centimeter, which is especially suitable for more breathing, more absorption, and more detoxification. It is very cool here, without a trace of heat, it is a well-deserved summer resort.

Here, you can also see the geological wonders of Shishu. Because this belongs to the "Ancient Tethys Ocean" sea area, it has experienced about 50 million years of marine environment, and a set of layered carbonate rocks with a thickness of one kilometer has been continuously deposited.

Affected by the frequent and reciprocating changes in sea depth and shallowness during this period, this set of carbonate rock deposits showed frequent alternation of thin layers of pure limestone and argillaceous limestone, which is why the rocks in the Grand Canyon area present "ten thousand volumes" geological environment.

Xixintan is the heart of Enshi Dixin Valley Scenic Area. When you arrive here, you must wash away all distracting thoughts, wash away all impetuousness, wash away all fame, fortune and desire, and then return to nature. The flowing water from the upper reaches and the mountain springs in the crevices of the rocks gather here, making this "heart-shaped" living water in the valley shine with its own light.

For many years, the indefatigable Shimen River has been flowing like this, and finally left a huge gully with all kinds of strange things in the valley.

The mountains and rivers are silent, but there is a sense of immortality in my heart. Thinking of the ancients, walking freely between the heaven and the earth, every walking soul can find the sustenance and refuge of the heart here.

I think, if Boya is still alive, he will definitely set up a guqin, and play a song "High Mountain and Flowing Water" here as if there is no one in it. The beautiful and flexible piano sound flows out from the fingers, like silk flowing through the heart, soft and quiet, soft and comfortable.

The most beautiful in the world is mountains and rivers, and the most beautiful in life is Qinghuan, which is never in the world of mortals, but outside the world. Drink to one's heart's content among the mountains and rivers, sleep soundly under the tree when drunk, pat on the robe after waking up, and return home while feeling happy.

The mountains, waters, plants and trees here are all gifts from nature. The wind blows through the valley, the mountain spring flows, like a dream, like a dream, let go of the world, get the spirit in the mountains and rivers, look up to the world, have no other distractions, and have fun to your heart's content.

Bayan Ancient Road, a thousand-year dream of the ancient road


The Bayan Ancient Road is a general term for official roads, commercial roads, and salt roads, and is the intersection of Ba culture, Bayu culture, and Ba-Shu culture. The Bayan Ancient Road is 2,400 kilometers long from eastern Sichuan to the ancient city of Fenghuang in Hunan. This section of the Enshi Geocentric Valley Scenic Area is a beautiful section of the Bayan Ancient Road.

According to historians' calculations, human footprints have been found in the Shimen River more than 2 million years ago. Human beings here, from crawling to walking upright, and then slowly walking out of the Shimen River, began to form the original human culture. In this way, the ancient road and China's 5,000-year splendid culture should have been born at the same time.

There are many scenic spots along the ancient road, such as the sacred tree of crape myrtle, Tongji Bridge, Shimen Post Station, Jieguan Pavilion, Bayan Cave City, Shimen Pass, "the best place in Shinan" cliff carvings, Shimen Buddha Cave, Shihu Mountain, Duifo Temple Ruins, etc., you can walk slowly and look slowly.

Porters are an important role in the economic and trade exchanges on the Bayan Ancient Road. Today, there are still special porters walking on this road. The unevenness of the stone road is the trace of the historical rings. This scene is like yesterday.

Hole in the center of the earth, looking for wild fun in the canyon


The canyons and cliffs in the Earth's Center Cave and Sky area are mysterious and deep, with flowing springs and waterfalls, majestic, clear water loops, beautiful, and the wild life in the mountains can be truly felt here.

Take a kayak and explore the valley. This is also an important base for the expansion of outdoor sports in the entire Enshi Prefecture Canyon. There are quite a lot of outdoor projects such as the Salt Shrine, the "Top of Clouds" wall-mounted elevator, and you can play for most of the day.

Wouldn't it be nice to avoid the world, get back to the basics, return to the mountains, like the ancients, to appreciate the mountains and rivers, and spend a few days of poetic life like wild cranes in the clouds!

There are also Internet celebrity check-in points, water swings, and those who are brave enough can even stand on them and feel the stimulation of the wind passing by their ears and the water flowing from their feet.

I prefer bamboo rafts to kayaks. Sitting on the bamboo raft, I immediately felt the shocking feeling of "small bamboo rafts in the middle of the river, walking on both sides of the majestic green mountains".

After paddling the bamboo raft and continue to go up, you can see the Magic Carpet Cloud Bridge. It is the first aerial cloud bridge in the country developed by the scenic spot team and has applied for a special case.

The bridge deck has an empty span of 168 meters, a span height of 128 meters, and a width of 2.1 meters. As long as you stand on it, you can walk forward like an elevator without moving. You can just take a rest and enjoy the beautiful scenery around you.

Standing on the "Magic Carpet in the Sky", you can have a panoramic view of the quiet and deep valley, the clear water loop, the world-famous Shimen River Bridge Forest, the beautiful Tianzhu and the floating shadow of the sail bridge.

On the magic carpet, you can also see the "Top of Clouds" wall-mounted vertical sightseeing elevator. We will go there in a while and take the elevator to the exit. The total height of the elevator is 180 meters. It is a fully transparent external elevator, which can have a panoramic view of the scenery from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain.

The long bridge next to Shifo Pavilion is the most thrilling aerial Internet celebrity challenge today: startling step by step. The bridge is 65 meters long, 102 meters high, and the widest part of the pedal is 1.5 meters. In my eyes, those who can stand on the bridge and successfully complete the challenge are all warriors.

Go to the elevator and go straight to the exit. So far, I have visited the four major areas of the entire Geocentric Valley. Personally, I feel that this place is very suitable for weekend trips and self-driving tours. Not only can you easily visit the scenic spots in two days, but you can also visit the surrounding attractions. , It's a great experience to eat Enshi's food.

Featured accommodation:


Enshi Geocentric Valley·Yashe Hotel is located on a cliff with a vertical height of 356 meters. It is surrounded by the gorge on three sides, with a 270-degree super-beautiful view. Yunding Xianyu is like Penglai. It is my favorite homestay. Two-day tour , all live here.

The environment of the hotel is quiet, and the entire space of the guest room is equipped with mobile airborne equipment. The 53-square-meter indoor space is fully equipped with bathroom, living room, and bedroom. Passengers can enjoy a 360-degree viewing through the glass wall in the room.

Standing on the balcony of the cliff house, the bottom of the feet is surrounded by light mist and light clouds, facing the infinite abyss, and the dangerous cliffs stand sharply. From the view point, you can see misty peaks and ridges, emerald emerald green, golden birds, birds and apes, wild and interesting, lingering in dreams, just like a fairyland on earth .

As night falls, turn on the warm yellow lights, and the night here is so quiet that only the chirping of insects can be heard. There is also a skylight in the room. When the weather is good, you can see the sky full of stars.

We were very lucky. We could see the Milky Way clearly at the hotel that night. However, the temperature difference between morning and evening in the mountains is relatively large. Remember to add clothes when you go out to prevent colds.

Speciality cuisine:


There are many local delicacies in Enshi. In the past two days, we ate a lot of special dishes. Because it is the only ethnic minority autonomous prefecture in Hubei Province, with strong ethnic minority characteristics and unique environment, it has created a unique food culture.

Tujia oil tea soup, Zhangguan combined slag, Tujia bacon, Boyang dried tofu, social rice, bream pepper, Gexian rice, crested ginger, Fu Baoshan water shield, etc. are all local specialties, and because they are close to Chongqing, the taste is a bit spicy.

Although it is heavy on the mouth, I, a Jiangnan person, can't stop eating it. It can be seen that even a daily stir-fry is full of color, flavor and taste. Here I will mention my favorite dishes.

Kang small potatoes, a famous Enshi special snack, are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and delicious.

Stir-fried pork with chili is delicious with rice. I really like it. I can eat rice for two nights.

It was the first time I ate rice wine made with rice wine. At first I thought it was a cake.

Tujia bacon, a traditional delicacy in Enshi, is delicious and fragrant. The bacon is so delicious, really.

There are too many delicacies in Enshi, and I feel like I missed a lot in two days. I must eat them all when I come next time.


Attractions nearby:

There are also some scenic spots around the Valley of the Earth that you can visit by the way. This is more suitable for tourists who come by car. Known as one of the "Ten Scenic Spots" in Jianshi County, Shizhu Temple is about half an hour's drive away from the Dixin Valley Scenic Area. This is a niche attraction with almost no tourists.

There is a mountain peak here that rises abruptly and soars into the sky, like a pillar of the sky. People call it Panlong Mountain. There is a temple on the top of the mountain. The ancients called it Chaozhen Temple, but today it is called Shizhu Temple.

I heard from the locals that the mountain is a cliff, and there are caves at the foot of the mountain. The whole mountain is only supported by a few stone pillars, and the middle is empty, which is quite magical.

To go to the Stone Pillar View, you need to climb 238 stone ladders and circle to the top of the mountain. The ancient pines on the top of the mountain are vigorous, the mountain flowers are blooming, and the stone pillars are hidden in the green forest, which is magnificent. You can also see ancient stone tablets on the way.

The Shizhu Temple built in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed and rebuilt several times later. The existing building was rebuilt in the first year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, a woodcutter went to Panlong Mountain to collect firewood and picked up a half-cut bell with the word "Emei". Invited to build a stone pillar view on the top of the mountain.

The shape of the entire temple is in the shape of a pavilion with six ridges and four eaves, with a front hall and a back hall, with reasonable layout and exquisite workmanship. Visitors can walk into the interior and climb up to the highest level to visit.

Climbing to the highest point, you can see the beautiful scenery all around, the distant mountains are rolling and rolling, in this beautiful scenery, facing the Danqing, poetic life, probably nothing more than this!
