Introduction
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The red leaf season in Shennongjia is usually from October to November every year, and the viewing period lasts for about one month. At this time, the forest of Shennongjia was covered with colorful red leaves, as if by magic, forming a sea of fire. The mountainous terrain of Shennongjia makes the distribution of vegetation very diverse. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, different elevations show different landscapes of red leaves. This vertically changing landscape, coupled with natural landscapes such as rivers and canyons, makes the autumn colors of Shennongjia extremely colorful.

Pingqian Ancient Town (Shennongjia Forest District)

Pingqian Ancient Town (Shennongjia Forest District)

Pingqian Ancient Town is a transit point for many tourists heading to Dajiu Lake. Some friends will stay here for a few nights, while others will have a lunch here. Tourists who have been to Dajiu Lake are deeply impressed by this place. Pingqian Ancient Town is a newly built imitation ancient salt road town in recent years. Historically, this place was a necessary passage for Sichuan salt to enter Hubei. Porters waded through water and mountains, eating and sleeping in the open, transporting mountain treasures from here and bringing in rock salt. At that time, merchants from all over gathered here, and it was prosperous for several years. Now, with the development of tourism in Shennongjia, Pingqian has regained its former prosperity. Every year in July and August, countless tourists from all over the world come here to escape the heat. Some will stay here for three to five days, while others stay for two months.

Shennongjia, Hubei: Shennong Altar

Shennongjia, Hubei: Shennong Altar

I always thought Shennongjia was a scenic spot, but it wasn't until I came to Shennongjia that I realized it was a place name. Shennongjia has many attractions, one of which is the Shennong Altar, the place where Shennong is worshipped. Why is it called Shennongjia? Because it's the place where Shennong built a rack to collect herbs. The Shennong Altar is a place where the Yan Emperor Shennong is worshipped. The scenic area has attractions such as the Thousand-Year-Old Fir King, Shennong Herbal Garden, Shennong Tea Garden, Shennong Sacrificial Garden, and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Garden. When climbing the Shennong Altar, it is generally up on the right and down on the left, and it is said that praying for blessings is very effective. 📍Address: Shennong Altar, Muyu Town, Shennongjia Forest District, Hubei Province 🚗Transportation: Xingshan Station by bullet train, then drive or take a taxi for about an hour 🎫Ticket: 55 yuan Shennongjia·Hubei

Stay in a luxurious wooden cabin in the forest of Shennongjia to escape the summer heat and enjoy a summer with temperatures around 20℃

Listed as a World Heritage site, Shennongjia in Hubei has an average summer temperature of 18℃—21℃. It is the 'Roof of Central China,' standing tall and proud. It is the 'Hometown of the Wild Man,' mysterious and serene. It is the 'Home of the Golden Monkey,' wild and lively. This time, I checked in at the Shennong Tianchi Scenic Area, with a maximum altitude of 2006 meters and an average altitude of 1400 meters, and an average summer temperature of 20℃. Service: The service was excellent. They even provided us with free poker cards delivered to our room, which was very considerate.

It's quite suitable for taking kids out, highly recommended.
