Enshi Grand Canyon-Tenglongdong Cave UNESCO Global Geopark is located in Enshi City and Lichuan City of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture,Hubei Province,China. The total area of the geopark is 679.19 square kilometers. It is a large-scale geopark with karst landforms and structural landforms as the core. The geopark retains complete sedimentary records of marine facies and continental facies since the early Cambrian period and is one of the representative areas of subtropical karst landforms in southern China. Typical geological heritages represented by the Tenglongdong Cave System, the underground river of the Qingjiang, and the stone-pillar forest of the Grand Canyon vividly record the complete sequence of multi-stage evolution of karst geomorphology and hydrogeology in the western Hubei since the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which has international geological value and global comparative significance.
On March 27, 2024, the Enshi Grand Canyon- Tenglongdong Cave Geopark was officially approved as a Global Geopark by UNESCO.
