Enshi Tujia Daughter City in Hubei | One of the most beautiful check-in spots in Enshi

Enshi Chapter: Tujia Daughter City Guide | Practical Guide for Visiting ||| Eat, Drink, Play, and Enjoy in Daughter City Daughter City can be considered a business card of Enshi. If you want to experience Tujia culture, coming to Daughter City is definitely the right choice. Friends from other places, take note, the most fun days in Daughter City are during the Daughter Festival from the 7th to the 12th of the seventh lunar month every year. In addition to the regular Tujia cultural performances, during the Daughter Festival, there will be even more Tujia folk performances, such as walking on knife ladders and through fire, Tujia grass dragon, Tujia Splashing Dragon Festival, Daughter Festival matchmaking, sending off brides, Tujia antiphonal singing, blocking the door with wine, Ten Sisters, and so on. The annual Tujia Daughter Festival is not to be missed! For tourists from other places, the best way to enjoy Daughter City is to stay overnight, as the regular performances are mainly in the afternoon and evening, which are especially lively. The public buses in Enshi stop running quite early, and the buses near Daughter City stop around 7 pm, while the most attractive event for tourists, 'Market Matchmaking. Daughter Festival,' starts at 8 pm. After the performance, if you want to leave by taxi, it usually gets very congested, so it's better to stay in the city for the night. In the morning, there are fewer visitors in Daughter City, and it's also very comfortable to stroll around the city. In addition to folk experiences such as sitting in a sedan chair and watching performances, there are naturally plenty of delicious snacks. Apart from the various snacks on the main street, there is also a dedicated snack street to the south of the city, with fragrant oil, Tujia corn cakes, Enshi tofu skin, Jianshi pancakes, roasted potatoes, steamed cakes, roasted glutinous rice cakes... everything you could want, and you're sure to find something to your taste. I especially recommend the roasted glutinous rice cakes in front of the Tujia Folk Customs Museum; the handmade cakes are grilled and then filled with brown sugar, white sugar, and soybean flour, which is incredibly fragrant, and only costs two yuan. Compared to the eight yuan I spent on a plain cake in Ciqikou, this is both delicious and affordable. Daughter City also has sugar paintings that children love, and when leaving, don't forget to take a few boxes of peach slice cakes that both the elderly and children love to eat. For regular meals, you can choose Zhang Guan Hezha or Honghu Yijue to experience Enshi-style hot pot, and I particularly want to recommend the lotus root soup from Honghu Yijue. If you want to experience the 'bowl-throwing wine,' you can choose Baren Hall, where you can watch performances while eating. Daughter City Performance Repertoire: Daughter City.
