Features: Enshi Autonomous Prefecture boasts both renowned natural landscapes and unique cultural attractions. The tranquility of Shennong River, the elegance of Gezi River, the grandeur of Tenglong Cave, and the wonder of Luxian Cave are all breathtakingly beautiful. The Xianfo Temple in Laifeng, the Tusi Imperial City in Xianfeng, the Yumusai Fortress and the ancient residential buildings of Dashuijing in Lichuan are equally admirable. The melodious Dragon Boat Tune, the bold Shapow Dance, the ancient customs of marriage, funeral, and burials, as well as the rich ethnic culinary culture, are particularly appealing to those who come to explore and experience local traditions. In the past decade or so, with the gentle breeze of reform and opening-up, the ancient Shizhou has revealed its inherent charm, continuously attracting many domestic and international intellectuals to visit, study, invest, and develop.
