Elon Musk said China is amazing, and he strongly recommends everyone visit China. I also suggest that next time he doesn’t just visit Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. If you really want to see another side of China, check out these three places in Hubei: Enshi – experience the wildest side of China’s landscapes. Canyons, sheer cliffs, stilted houses, Tujia ethnic culture. It’s not polished, but it’s full of life. Wudang Mountain – see how the Chinese turned the word “immortal” into palaces, golden rooftops, seas of clouds, and an entire Taoist worldview. Shennongjia – a place where Chinese mythology hasn’t left the stage. Primeval forests, Shennong legends, cloud seas, fir trees, deep valleys—it’s like stepping straight into ancient times. When you connect these three places, you’ll realize China isn’t just factories, high-speed trains, and big cities. China also has mountains and rivers. It has mythology. It has religion. It has ethnic groups. It has an Eastern imagination that hasn’t faded in thousands of years. A lot of foreigners see China and only notice the speed. But what’s truly breathtaking is how this country is building the future while still hiding immortals in its midst.
