What is the meaning of Enshi's characteristic flower

The characteristic flower of Enshi is Narcissus, which originates from the traditional culture of Enshi Tujia. Narcissus grows in the moist mountain forests and is loved for its delicate and elegant flowers. Every year, on the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, the Enshi Tujia will hold a daffodil festival to celebrate the arrival of spring. During the festival, people will wear traditional costumes, sing and dance, taste Tujia food together and feel the charm of folk culture. The daffodil festival has become a unique cultural brand of Enshi, bringing a large number of tourists to the region's tourism industry.

With the development of marketization in Enshi, daffodil is not only a representative of culture, but also has become a characteristic industry. Local farmers began to plant daffodils and created a daffodil industry chain, utilizing daffodil cultivation to make local specialties such as daffodil cakes, daffodil tea, daffodil sauce, etc. These products not only retained the essence of the culture, but also met the needs of the consumer market, and became a bright landscape in the area.

Besides daffodils, Enshi also has other specialty flowers, such as yellow ginger flowers and danggui flowers. The ginger flower is a common wildflower in the Enshi area, growing in the mountainous areas of the wild land, next to the river bank, very interesting. Danggui flowers grow in parks and squares, with brightly colored flowers that emit a strong aromatic smell when in full bloom, making them a green landscape in the city. The presence of these characteristic flowers presents the unique natural beauty of Enshi and becomes an important part of the region's culture and tourism.
