Two-day tour of Lichuan Tenglong Cave in Enshi Grand Canyon, Chongqing

Lichuan Tenglong Cave in Enshi Grand Canyon in Chongqing is unfamiliar to many people, but it is a place worth visiting. You will get a fantastic tour and see the charm of nature and humanistic spirit along the way. Here's a two-day tour guide for Lichuan Tenglong Cave in Enshi Grand Canyon in Chongqing.

transportation: it is recommended to take the bullet train, because both ordinary trains and buses take a long time. There are many trains from Chongqing to Enshi Lichuan, starting at 6 o'clock at the earliest and ending at 4 o'clock in the afternoon at the latest. You can buy them according to your own needs.

First stop: Enshi

We took the train on the afternoon of June 3th, and arrived in Enshi near eight o'clock. As soon as we got off the train, we felt the enthusiasm of Enshi.

Since Didi took a taxi, it's really convenient to go out. When we got off the train, we called Didi to take a taxi to our daughter's city.

Daughter City is located in Qiliping, downtown, and it costs no more than 3 yuan to take a taxi.

On the way, I heard from the driver that there are many people coming to Daughter's Town every day, and there are traffic jams on the way to Daughter's Town. There are all kinds of food, drink and entertainment in it, and there are Tujia folk performances to watch, but the price level inside is similar to that outside, so housing and meals are not too expensive and tickets are not needed.

We booked the Daughter City Art Hotel online in advance, with a double price of 175 yuan. There is a balcony in the room when the window is pushed open, and you can see the panoramic view of the whole daughter city. Although the bed marked on the Internet is 1.2m wide, almost all of them are 1.5m wide. It was originally planned that the three of us would book another single room. When we saw the bed in the room, we suddenly improved our affection for the daughter city.

We cleaned up briefly. At about nine o'clock, we started to go out for food. There were many bars in Daughter City, which made my heart itch. However, considering that we had to hurry the next morning, we went to find a midnight snack shop. Their specialties are grilled fish and braised prawns (crayfish). The three of us ordered a grilled fish and several vegetarian dishes. The grilled fish was really delicious, and the boss was very nice. We said that he sounded like a Chongqing native, and he showed us his ID card to show that he was an authentic Enshi native. It's almost past ten o'clock after eating and drinking, and the number of people in the city is gradually decreasing.

We visited Daughter City by moonlight. The architectural style is a combination of antique and Tujia diaojiao building, and the commercial format is very rich, including bars, ordinary restaurants, small supermarkets, coffee shops with literary style and so on. Back to the hotel, it was almost eleven o'clock, and I stood on the balcony and looked at the night view of my daughter's city.

On July 1st, we got up at 7: 3 in the morning and went to a breakfast shop to eat some jiaozi and wonton. We booked a bus to Enshi Grand Canyon online.

It's almost 4 kilometers from Daughter City to Enshi Grand Canyon, and there is a shuttle bus directly to the Grand Canyon in Enshi City, but we chose Didi taxi because the price is not the same. Carpooling is 3 yuan per person, and chartering is 15 yuan per car.

There are many people running this line in the name of Didi outside my daughter's city. The price tag for the ride on Didi is about 9 yuan. Generally, someone will take the order soon. After taking the order, they will call you to ask if you accept carpooling and negotiate the price with you.

At about 8: 3, we started from Daughter City to Enshi Grand Canyon, and the traffic in the city was fine. Only when we got out of the city did we finally understand why we had to run for more than 4 kilometers for more than an hour. If you get carsick, make sure you throw up when you get to the Grand Canyon.

Fortunately, all three of us are carsick-free, and the master's driving level is on the line.

at about ten o'clock, we arrived at Enshi Grand Canyon Tourist Reception Center. We bought the tickets online in advance, because Enshi Grand Canyon has the largest tourist capacity. It costs 19 yuan to buy tickets online and sightseeing bus, which is cheaper than 1 yuan in the tourist reception center. If you bring your luggage, you can leave it on the first floor of the tourist reception center, and you can have a 1 yuan for any time.

There are many people selling crutches and hats near the reception center. You can buy a crutch if your physical strength is really not good, which is about ten yuan.

It's very hot in summer, so be sure to wear sunscreen, umbrellas and sunglasses. It takes about 5 hours to walk the whole Grand Canyon. The first two hours will be particularly hard, and the more you get to the back, the more energetic you will feel.

We went to the Yunlong River Fissure first. When you go in, you will sigh that nature is really amazing. It takes about 4 minutes to sew the ground around the Yunlong River, then go back to the place where you take the bus in the scenic spot, and then take the bus to Qixingzhai. In addition to the scenic bus, you can also choose to take a cableway. However, personally, I suggest not to use the ropeway, because the ropeway only shortens the walking time by about 3 minutes. When the bus arrived at the gate of Qixingzhai Scenic Area, our mountaineering trip officially began. Along the way, you can enjoy the sight of the sky, the cliff promenade, the Longmen Stone Forest and so on. Personally, I especially like the feeling of climbing to the top of the mountain and overlooking the mountains, so I am very excited on the way to climb the mountain. There will be a warm reminder board along the way to remind you how many steps you have taken and how many meters above sea level you are now, which is particularly warm.

The day we went, we were heading for the sea of clouds. Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful and we didn't see the sea of clouds, but the weather all day was very good, cool and comfortable. Throughout the journey, we formed a loop around several mountains and returned to the tourist reception center of the scenic spot. When we arrived at the tourist reception center, there was an escalator, which cost 3 yuan a person. We have a sense of accomplishment in our hearts, so we insist on not taking the escalator and going the whole distance by ourselves. That section of the road was all downhill, and I finally realized what it meant to be "easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down the mountain". My calf muscles were stiff and I felt a dull pain every time I got off the ladder. Therefore, it is suggested that you must sit down and rub your calf on the way to climb the mountain so that your muscles can relax.

when we got back to the bus in the scenic spot, we all relaxed. We started climbing the mountain around 1: in the morning and returned to the tourist reception center at the gate of the scenic spot at 4: in the afternoon. It happens that there is the last bus to Lichuan at 4: 3 in the reception center, which costs 2 yuan a person. Lichuan is nearly 3 kilometers away from the Grand Canyon, and it takes about an hour by car.

Second stop: Tenglong Cave in Lichuan

Enshi Grand Canyon has a direct bus to Tenglong Cave in Lichuan. We originally planned to stay here in the Grand Canyon, but considering that the performance of Tenglong Cave the next day was after ten o'clock in the morning, we decided to stay in Lichuan. On the way from Enshi Grand Canyon to Lichuan, I slept all the way, and when I woke up, I turned on the navigation and saw that I had passed the hotel we booked. We asked the master to stop at the most convenient parking place and then took a taxi to the hotel. The starting price of Lichuan is very cheap, only four yuan. We booked the Lichuan Haojing Hotel, which is located in the new district, and the surrounding area is not particularly prosperous, but the hotel staff is particularly enthusiastic, allowing us to store our luggage for free. The hotel has its own restaurant, the price of vegetables is civilian, and the taste is very good. We eat almost all breakfast, lunch and dinner in their restaurant. We had beef noodles, porridge and fried noodles for breakfast. I like his cabbage and pickles very much. After dinner, we went for a stroll along their Qingjiang River. After returning to the hotel, we began to book tickets to Tenglong Cave. Book 17 yuan online, including laser show and song and dance performance.

The temperature inside Tenglong Cave is low. If you are really afraid of the cold, you need to take a coat. It's okay for young people to go in with short-sleeved shorts. I wore a short-sleeved skirt that day. Although I felt a little cold after watching the dance performance halfway, I didn't feel anything when I walked around. But if it is winter, it is estimated that more warm babies need to be posted. When you come to Tenglong Cave, you must calculate his performance time. The light show is from 1: 2 am to 1: 4 am and from 15: 2 pm to 15: 4 pm. Tujia dance performances from 11: 1 to 12: and from 16: 2 to 17: 1 in the afternoon.

On July 2nd, we started from the hotel at 9: a.m. and Didi took a taxi to the scenic spot, which cost 12 yuan and took about ten minutes. There are 5 peaks, 1 halls and more than 1 underground waterfalls in Tenglong Cave. There are mountains in the cave, holes in the mountains, water caves and dry caves are connected, and the main caves and branch caves are interconnected. There is no poison gas, snakes and scorpions, no pollution, and the constant temperature in the cave is 14-18℃ all year round, and the air is smooth.

The whole tour time took us about two hours. There was sightseeing bus in the cave, and the round trip cost only 1 yuan. We chose to walk, and it took us about half an hour to walk to the laser show performance venue, and we were amazed at the wonders of nature all the way. Because I didn't go to Baidu Laser Show, I understood that the laser show was to show various forms in the cave with lights. After watching it later, I realized that it was a love story with lights. People left one after another before the end of the light show, and we also went to the song and dance performance venue with the big troops. The song and dance performance mainly showed the customs and habits of Tujia people's funeral and marriage. The director is romance of the song dynasty's director, but in contrast, romance of the song dynasty is much more grand. This one is more grounded. After watching the song and dance performance, it was almost past twelve o'clock. We went out and waited for a passenger car to return to the hotel, five yuan each. There are fewer taxis in the scenic spot, only by appointment, and the fare back to the city is estimated to be around 25.

We went back to Haojing Hotel and ordered some special dishes. Lichuan's eating habits are not much different from those in Sichuan, so there is not much that surprises me about the food.

a heavy rain suddenly came during dinner, and we were glad that we had come back. After dinner, we visited the neighborhood of Lichuan, a very suitable place for living.

at five o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to Chongqing by bullet train. As soon as I got off the train, I especially missed the coolness of Tenglong Cave. The two-day trip ended here, and I lamented the wonders of nature countless times along the way.

Our average consumption per person: round-trip train fare 17 Other transportation: 7 meals: 15 accommodation: 1 (two nights) Tickets: 35 (Enshi Grand Canyon 18 Tenglong Cave 17). Total: 84 yuan
