Enshi Canyon & Tujia Culture
A self-drive loop around Enshi, connecting the Grand Canyon, Tenglong Cave, Pingshan Canyon, and Tujia culture at Grace City.
A loop designed to avoid backtracking: start from downtown Enshi, head north to the Stone Forest, west to the Grand Canyon and Tenglong Cave, then south to Hefeng Pingshan, and return to the city via Xuan'en. Average daily driving time is 2 to 4 hours on winding mountain roads. Ideal for summer escapes and self-drive travelers who love canyon landscapes; if traveling with seniors, you can opt to visit only the Yunlong Crevice at the Grand Canyon.
Pingshan's water can become muddy after rain; popular scenic spots require advance booking in summer.
