This time we took a self-driving tour to Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County, Yichang, Hubei, and took our children to visit the beautiful rivers and mountains of our motherland and see the stunning scenery of our motherland. 🌟We visited many places throughout the trip. The good performance and comfortable driving experience were the advantages of travel. We were able to visit Chaibuxi Grand Canyon, Hefeng, Tongren Grand Canyon, Baiyi Ancient Village, Gongtan Ancient Town and other places. ✅What impressed me was the Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County of Hubei Province. There is a village called Liziping Village, which is located in the southeast of Caihua Township, on the northern foot of the Duling Mountains, adjacent to Wufeng Town in the east and Wantan in the south. It has an average altitude of 1,300 meters. It is named after the abundant chestnut trees and is one of the few intact Tujia villages in Wufeng. ✅Chaibuxi Grand Canyon is located in Wufeng County, Yichang City. It has charming stone forests and cliffs, clear streams and canyons with karst landforms. It is a typical grand canyon scenic spot. ✅Driving on the Baiyi Ancient Village Cliff Road, you can see the ancient mountain village surrounded by cliffs. This was the military pass and "imperial city" of the ancient Tujia tribal leaders. The main peak is 2,320 meters high and the mountain is steep and majestic. ❤With the renovation and expansion of the scenic area, many farmhouses have been opened here to provide accommodation for travelers. You can have a delicious farm meal and drink a cup of fragrant green tea to make this journey comfortable and relaxed. You can take a short break and start the next journey. As the saying goes, summer brings coolness, and the wind blows to Yichang. Let’s see you again in Yichang next time with this beauty.

Chai Bu Creek is located in Wufeng Tujia Autonomous County, Yichang City. It is a typical grand canyon scenic area, located in the subtropical mountain monsoon climate zone. The vegetation is dense, mostly evergreen broad-leaved forest and mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest. It is divided into four major scenic areas: Tanzikou, Dawankou, Jiaokou, and Duanshankou. Chai Bu Creek is also part of the Wuling Mountains, known as the "unique wonder of Central China". It is praised as "the beautiful and secluded Chai Bu Creek for a hundred miles, and the fairyland with three thousand strange peaks". "Zhangjiajie in the south, Chai Bu Creek in the north" is the true evaluation of it by the world. The beauty of Chaibu Creek lies in the grand canyon, the creek bed, the strange peaks and rocks within the canyon, the winding paths, the lush forests, the splashing waterfalls, the steep cliffs, the secluded streams, which together form the five unique natural landscapes of the canyon: grandeur, danger, beauty, seclusion, and wilderness. In the bottom of Chaibu Valley, there are some ancient villages collectively known as Dujiapu. It is a secluded place hidden in the valley, with ancient trees, streams, waterfalls and villages. Because it is far away from the world, it has retained many original flavors. Most of the roads in the scenic area are made of bluestone, with many vines along the way. Sometimes it feels like walking in a primitive forest, and it feels particularly quiet. You can breathe in the natural aura to your heart's content. In fact, what makes people linger in Chai Bu Xi is not only the beautiful scenery, but also the unique Tujia style of the local area. Now is the season when azaleas are in full bloom, so take advantage of the spring and go for a walk early. Tip: Drive to the south gate of Chaibu Creek Canyon Scenic Area or the Tanzi Mouth of Chaibu Creek Canyon Scenic Area for navigation, and then enter the core scenic area of Chaibu Creek. Please consult the planned travel route in advance. Recommended route: Qingyun ladder - Luoyue bridge - Duizui stone - Dele bridge - Daughter cave - Shengshui Guanyin - Quege stone - Yingke peak - General's rock - Kufu cave.

The whole journey takes about two hours on foot, climbing 113 steps of the Qingyun ladder. Standing on the Luoyue Bridge, you can feel the towering peaks up close. Passing through the natural karst cave that has been polished by time - the Daughter Cave, you can experience the amazing work of nature.

Along the way, feel the heroic ropeway straight into the sky, overlooking the canyon from the sky, the scenery is even more beautiful, the mountains and rivers are at the foot, the stream gradually becomes a ribbon. The surrounding layers are more and more clear, and I feel the wonderful artistic conception of people are in the middle of painting, and the scenery is with them. The rocks on both sides of the Grand Canyon have been weathered and collapsed after hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain, forming a unique peak forest landscape, with a thick and thin, straight into the sky.
