8. The Enshi Canyon, Hubei Province
About 200 miles west to the Three Gorges dam is the Enshi, Asia’s answer to the Grand Canyon. This is a majestic, amazing, and beautiful world-class geological wonder. Enshi Grand Canyon is located on the border of Hunan Province, Chongqing, and Hubei Province.
Near-vertical walls of the mountain bound the winding gorges of the 108 km-long canyon. This is the most picturesque part of the Grand Qingjiang Canyon, with a total area of more than 300 square kilometers. Hundreds of waterfalls crash down into the gorge from above. The mountains and the valley of the Qingjiang River are different in this place. The river here is bottomless. White clouds rise from the Qingjiang River and stretch for hundreds of kilometers.
At many points, these mountains’ sides have catwalks built to allow tourists breathtakingly amazing views. So, it is not surprising that the Enshi Canyon is considered one of the most beautiful places worth a visit in China due to its variety of landscapes.
