Enshi Grand Canyon is a national 5A-level scenic spot and a national geological park. It is a world-renowned "natural museum" of complex karst landforms where "ground fissures-tiankeng-rock pillars" coexist. Its ecological environment is unique, the natural scenery is primitive and unsophisticated, the cliff gallery of 10,000 meters, the waterfall of thousands of feet, hundreds of solitary peaks, and the deep valley of ten miles. Yunlong Ground Fissure is called "the beautiful scar of the earth"; "Yixiang" was rated as one of the 40 famous scenic spots in China by foreign media.

The main geomorphological landscape types of the scenic spot include ground fissures, waterfalls, deep pools, karst caves, underground rivers, pictographic stones, and geological sections. The Yunlong ground fissure, which is in the shape of a "Zigzag" on the plane, is nearly north-south, with a total length of 3.6 kilometers, an average depth of 75 meters, and an average width of 15 meters.

stick of incense
Karst pillars. A stick of incense is the iconic landscape of Enshi Grand Canyon, and it is also a very rare landscape among similar karst landforms. The height of a stick of incense is 150 meters, the diameter of the bottom of the cylinder is 6 meters, and the minimum diameter is only 4 meters. Its lithology is Triassic limestone. Therefore, the formation is horizontal, and the compressive strength of the rock is high (800 kg/cubic centimeter), and there is no inclination and slippage. Therefore, it will not move when the wind blows it, and it will not fall when the rain hits it. It has stood proudly among the peaks for thousands of years. , Guarding this mysterious land is really rare.
cliff path
Cliff plank road, also known as Buyuntianzhan and Cliff Corridor: It was first built in August 2006 and took 1 year and 8 months to complete. The plank road is located on the mountainside of the upright cliff on the east side of the mountain, with an altitude of more than 1,700 meters, a total length of 488 meters, a height difference of 300 meters, and 118 stone steps, which are integrated with the rocks and cliffs. Because the plank road is built on the cliff, it is also called the cliff corridor, or "precipitous plank road". This project is a combination of the ancient Bashu plank road manufacturing technology, modern reinforced concrete building materials, and advanced construction technology.
Welcome Song
The welcoming pine, which is said to be nearly a thousand years old, grows proudly on the cliff, as if it is opening its arms to welcome tourists from all over the world.
