Enshi is a city in the far south-west of Hubei Province, China, the capital of the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture - a mountainous, karst region of dramatic canyons, green peaks and minority culture. It is best known as the gateway to the Enshi Grand Canyon, a spectacular landscape of deep gorges, karst pillars and the famous One Incense Rock, and to other scenic areas such as the Tenglong Cave, one of the largest cave systems in China, and the Nushui River. The prefecture is home to the Tujia and Miao peoples, whose culture, architecture and festivals give the region a distinctive character, and it is also known for its tea and its cool, misty summers. Served by Enshi Xujiaping Airport and high-speed rail, the city is an increasingly popular escape into western Hubei's mountains. Late spring to autumn is the best season for the canyons and scenery.

Enshi, in south-west Hubei, is the capital of the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture and is known for its dramatic karst scenery - above all the Enshi Grand Canyon with its deep gorges and pillars - plus the vast Tenglong Cave, the culture of the Tujia and Miao peoples, and its tea and cool mountain climate.
What is there to see around Enshi?
The highlights are natural: the Enshi Grand Canyon with its One Incense Rock pillar, the Tenglong Cave system, the Nushui River and other scenic areas of karst mountains and gorges. The Tujia and Miao minority villages, architecture and festivals add cultural depth to a region increasingly popular for its landscapes.
How do I get to Enshi?
Enshi is served by Enshi Xujiaping Airport with domestic flights and by high-speed rail connecting it to Wuhan, Chongqing and other cities, which has made the once-remote prefecture much more accessible. Most visitors arrive by train or plane and reach the scenic areas by road from the city.
When is the best time to visit?
Late spring to autumn - roughly April to October - is the best season for the canyons, caves and mountain scenery, with Enshi's cool, misty summers a particular draw when the lowlands swelter.
