Shennongjia is known as the roof of China for its high mountains and deep valleys. The area is full of ancient trees and exotic flowers, and is known as a green treasure house.

Tianyan 🎫 Remember, buying a combo ticket is more cost-effective 💖 Highlights: 1⃣ 🎭 The live-action show "Secret Realm Shennongjia" will definitely satisfy you 2⃣ Walk through the sea of clouds: Shennongding meadow and the beautiful cloud sea ☁ 3⃣ Accommodation recommendation: Yanzi Bieyuan in Muyuzhen, both the courtyard environment and the homemade meals by the landlady are highly satisfying

Autumn is a must-visit season for Shennongjia! The scenery with layers of colorful forests is breathtaking, and every snapshot looks like a masterpiece 🍁 Here is a comprehensive 3-day 2-night guide for you! Day 1: Immersive Autumn Viewing 📍 Shennongding Scenic Area (opens at 8 AM) Standing at 3,106 meters above sea level on the "Ridge of Central China," the combination of sea of clouds and colorful forests is stunning! It’s recommended to wear a windproof jacket as the wind on the summit is strong. On the way down, you will pass Jinhouling, where you might be lucky enough to see wild golden snub-nosed monkeys~ Day 2: Natural Oxygen Bar Hiking 📍 Dajiuhu Wetland Park (open until 5:30 PM) The 79-square-kilometer alpine wetland looks like a spilled palette of colors. The reed marsh of Lake No. 2 and the morning mist of Lake No. 5 are must-visit spots! Remember to take the scenic train (included in the ticket), walking on foot might make you question your life choices. For lunch, enjoy cured pork rib hotpot in Pingqian Ancient Town, the aroma is intoxicating! Day 3: Geological Wonders Exploration 📍 Tienshengqiao + Guanmenshan (last entry at 4 PM) The hundred-meter waterfall at Tienshengqiao is spectacular, and Guanmenshan offers views of Chinese giant salamanders and Wild Man Cave. Highly recommended for families with kids as it’s very interactive~ Before heading back, don’t miss the hanging pot feast in Muyuzhen, the Tujia flavor is irresistibly delicious! 🔥 Must-Try List: • Cured pig’s trotters hotpot (recommended at Laodifang Restaurant) • Rock ear mushroom stewed with native chicken (many restaurants along the riverside road in Muyuzhen) • Hezha (a local specialty with a strong bean fragrance) ⚠️ Notes: 1. Large temperature difference! Wear a single layer and a light jacket during the day, and a down jacket in the early morning and evening. 2. The 299 RMB combo ticket is valid for 5 days and includes 6 major core scenic spots. 3. For self-driving, navigate to "Shennongjia Visitor Center"; sightseeing buses are required inside the park. 4. The best viewing period is from mid-October to early November; miss it and wait a whole year! Accommodation is recommended in Muyuzhen, where there are many dining options and convenient access to all attractions. We stayed at Yinyu Homestay, where you can watch the starry sky from the terrace, and the owner’s homemade corn wine is amazing!

Shennongjia Autumn Charm Exploration｜Experience Autumn as a Fairy Tale Poem on the Roof of Central China 🌄 Why must you visit Shennongjia in autumn? From late September to early November, Shennongjia is the most "magical" season of the year. This place doesn’t just offer a single autumn scene; it presents a layered experience of "four seasons on one mountain, different weather every ten miles": the foot of the mountain still holds lingering green, the mid-mountain is a mix of orange and red maple and fragrant trees, the summit is covered with golden dawn redwoods and firs. When the mist drifts in, the entire forest area looks like it’s been softened by a filter, making every snapshot wallpaper-worthy. Even better, there are few people and wild scenery here, without the noise of over-commercialization. Walking on the trails, you can only hear birdsong, the wind, and your own footsteps. Even your breathing feels lighter—this is a "natural healing place" for those wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of the city! 📍 Must-visit "Autumn Charm Spots"—missing them means missing the trip! 1. Shennongding Scenic Area (the core of the core) - Observation Tower: Climb to the highest point in Central China at 2,997 meters above sea level. On clear days, you can see layers of mountains stretching to the horizon, with autumn sunlight casting a golden glow on the redwood forest, as if gilding the mountains; if you encounter morning fog, the mist rises from the valleys, and the distant mountains appear faint like an ink painting. - Banbiyen Rock: A combination of autumn scenery and unique stones! Exposed granite pillars stand among the maple trees, sunlight filters through the leaves casting mottled shadows on the rocks. It’s perfect for portrait photography with a "forest movie vibe." Wearing light-colored clothes (white, beige) is recommended for better photos. - Jinmonkey Ridge: Walk along the wooden plank trail to see streams flowing through red leaf forests. The water is so clear you can see the pebbles at the bottom. Occasionally, you might spot a squirrel darting down a tree, making the ecological feel very vivid. 2. Dajiuhu National Wetland Park (an autumn-exclusive "fairyland") Autumn at Dajiuhu is a combo of "wetlands + meadows + autumn forests"! It’s best to visit in the morning when a thin mist rises over the lake. The wooden boardwalk appears faintly in the fog, and the distant mountains blend with the nearby reed marshes, as if you’ve stepped into the forest from "My Neighbor Totoro." - Be sure to ride the park’s small train, getting off at each lake to explore. The autumn poplars at Lake No. 5 are the most photogenic, with golden leaves hanging over the water, their reflections rippling like an oil painting. - In the afternoon, visit the Deer Park, buy carrot sticks to feed the deer. The fawns will come close to your hand, their fur soft, and with the autumn forest behind, it’s heart-meltingly gentle. 3. Tianyan Scenic Area (less crowded but stunning) Compared to Shennongding and Dajiuhu, Tianyan has fewer visitors, perfect for those who enjoy quiet autumn viewing. - Rainbow Bridge: A glass bridge spanning two mountains, offering a bird’s-eye view of the red maple forest. When the wind blows, the leaves rustle, below is a deep valley, above is blue sky—super relaxing. - Swallow Cave: At the cave entrance are thousand-year-old firs whose leaves turn dark gold in autumn, contrasting with the deep brown cave mouth. Inside, you can hear the calls of swallows, adding to the mystery (remember to bring a light jacket, it’s a bit cool inside). 🚗 Transportation & Accommodation Guide (Pitfall Avoidance Edition) Transportation: - Self-driving: Highly recommended! Shennongjia is large, and attractions are far apart (for example, it takes 1.5 hours from Shennongding to Dajiuhu). Driving offers more flexibility and you can stop anytime to photograph autumn scenes. Note that mountain roads have many curves and can be slippery when wet, so drive slowly. - Public Transport: There are direct buses from Wuhan/Yichang to Shennongjia’s Muyutown (one daily bus from Wuhan’s Fujia Po Station, about 6 hours). From Muyutown, take the park shuttle bus. Accommodation: - Muyutown: The most convenient area to stay, with many restaurants and supermarkets, close to Shennongding and Tianyan Scenic Areas. Recommended to stay in "mountain view homestays," many have terraces where you can stargaze at night and see morning mist over the mountains. - Dajiuhu Town: Ideal for those who want to explore Dajiuhu deeply, close to the park entrance, so no need to catch early buses. The downside is fewer options and slightly higher prices than Muyutown. - Pitfall Reminder: The peak season is from after National Day to early November. Book accommodations 1-2 weeks in advance. Don’t be tempted by cheap roadside inns, as hygiene and heating may be unreliable (nights are cold in the mountains in autumn, choose places with heating). 🍲 Must-try local foods, warm and super comforting Shennongjia’s cuisine leans toward "wild mountain flavors," with very fresh ingredients. After a day of exploring, a meal here is very satisfying: - Shennongjia cured meat: Locally smoked by farmers, fatty but not greasy. Recommended to stir-fry with dried bamboo shoots or stew with potatoes. Perfect with rice—you’ll want two bowls. - Alpine wild vegetables: bracken, Chinese toon, wild chives, simply blanched and served cold, carrying the mountain’s fresh aroma, refreshing and healthy. - Dajiuhu fish hotpot: Made with cold-water fish from Dajiuhu, tender meat, broth so fresh you’ll want to drink it all. Warm in winter, also very pleasant in autumn. - Corn liquor: Locally brewed rice wine, low alcohol content, sweet, suitable for women to drink a little, warms and dispels cold (don’t overdo it, the aftereffect is strong). 📌 Autumn Travel Tips (Super Practical!) 1. Clothing: The mountain has a big temperature difference between day and night (15-20°C during the day, 5-10°C at night). Dress in "onion style" layers—base layer + thin sweater + windproof jacket (recommended: outdoor jacket or thin down jacket). You can remove layers if hot or add if cold. Choose non-slip sports shoes as trails have fallen leaves and can be slippery. 2. Gear: Bring a camera! Bring a camera! Bring a camera! (Important to say three times) Phones can’t capture the depth of autumn scenery. Use a wide-angle lens for big scenes and a telephoto lens for leaf details. Don’t forget a power bank; signal is weak in the mountains and phones drain quickly. 3. Time: Recommended to spend 3-4 days—1 day for Shennongding, 1 day for Dajiuhu, 1 day for Tianyan and around Muyutown. No need to rush; slow exploration lets you truly feel the autumn charm. 4. Environment: Strictly no littering in the forest! Only throw trash in bins. Don’t pick leaves or disturb animals. Protecting this "autumn fairy tale" is the most important. Finally, I want to say that autumn in Shennongjia can’t be summed up with just "beautiful"—it’s the surprise when the wind blows red leaves into your palm while walking in the forest; it’s the calm feeling when watching the mist at Dajiuhu, as if time slows down; it’s the relaxation when stargazing on a homestay terrace at night, feeling all worries blown away. If you want a place to truly experience autumn, Shennongjia is definitely worth the trip. While autumn is at its peak, pack your bags and set off!

【Shennongjia 3-Day Essential Tour】Discover the Secret Wonderland at 31° North Latitude 🌲 Shennongjia, rated as China's most beautiful forest by National Geographic, is truly breathtaking! In three days, we explored the primeval forest, alpine wetlands, and the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey Kingdom. This itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors~ Day 1: On August 22nd, we departed from Xiangyang High-speed Railway Station on G6785 in the morning, arriving at Xingshan Station at 11:11 AM, where we directly met up with the tour group. We had a group lunch of local farm dishes at noon, then headed to the Shennongjia Scenic Area at 1 PM. We visited 5 small attractions: Xiaolongtan—Jinhouling—Shennonggu—Shennongding—Banbiyan. Xiaolongtan is a rescue base for golden snub-nosed monkeys, mainly captive ones. If you want to get close to golden snub-nosed monkeys, you need to go to Dalongtan. Golden snub-nosed monkeys are really cute, with blue faces and upturned noses, truly the prototype of the Monkey King. A unique point is that these monkeys don't have red bottoms. Jinhouling, Shennonggu, Shennongding, and Banbiyan are natural landscapes. When we visited, they were shrouded in mist, ethereal and dreamy. A gust of wind revealed the wonders of nature's craftsmanship before our eyes. PS: Shennongding also has a low-altitude economy now, with drone photography available, worth trying. We spent about 5 hours at the five attractions. For the night, we stayed at Hanjiangyuan Hotel in Pingqian Town, which had a decent overall environment. Dinner was at Laowuli Diaoguo, where we had hanging pot chicken and corn cakes, which tasted good. Day 2: Woke up at 6 AM and departed at 7 AM for Dajiuhu in the morning. We were lucky enough to see the ethereal morning mist at Dajiuhu. Tour route: Take the mini-train from the Visitor Center (suggest sitting on the left side) to Lake No. 2, where we fed wild ducks and swans up close with the kids (need to prepare bread in advance); then take the mini-train to Lake No. 4, get off and walk to visit Lakes No. 5 and 6, then take a bus to Luyuan (Deer Garden) to feed sika deer (need to buy deer food to enter), and finally take a bus directly from Luyuan back to the Visitor Center. The whole trip took 3 hours. The afternoon was more relaxed, visiting Tianyan Scenic Area. The first attraction was Swallow Cave. Personally, I didn't find it very interesting; it was just a pitch-black karst cave where you couldn't see any golden swifts. The second attraction was Rainbow Bridge, which felt ordinary, just a traditional mountain path, and it paled in comparison to Jinhouling and Dajiuhu. The whole trip took 1 hour. After the tour, we took a bus to Muyu Town. For dinner, we went to "Old Place," recommended on Xiaohongshu. The stir-fried dishes we ordered were indeed good and didn't disappoint. The hotel was Mengka, a parent-child themed hotel renovated in 2024, with a great environment, highly recommended. Day 3: Departed at 8 AM for Guanmenshan. We visited the Giant Salamander and Sturgeon exhibition, the Wildman Scientific Research Museum, and the Animal and Plant Specimen Museum, then headed to the Giant Panda Pavilion, and finally to Shennong Altar. This area is mainly cultural, and following the guide's explanations helped us learn some relevant knowledge. We had a group lunch near Tianshengqiao (Natural Bridge) at noon. After lunch, we headed to Tianshengqiao, the last attraction of this trip. Here, mountains and water intertwine, with beautiful scenery at every step, perfect for a leisurely stroll. The entire visit took about 1 hour. Finally, a bus took us to Xingshan for our return journey. ⚠️Practical Tips: 1. Travel time between scenic spots is 1-2 hours; it's recommended to charter a car (approx. 500 RMB/day). 2. Best time to visit is May-October; September is especially beautiful when the lower forests are ablaze with color. 3. There's a significant altitude difference; it's no exaggeration to experience four seasons in one day. 4. Bring motion sickness medicine! All roads are winding mountain roads. (It's recommended to book all scenic area tickets in advance on Trip.com; there are often combo ticket discounts~)

While the neon lights of Shanghai’s Bund are still flashing, I have already driven into a secret realm swallowed by mist—here, there is no 5G signal, but the geological codes carved by glaciers 3 million years ago are hidden; here, you won’t find trendy coffee shops, but you can meet golden snub-nosed monkeys swinging among fir trees. This is Shennongjia, a "cloud world" where navigation fails and time slows down. 1. Transportation Revolution: The Transformation Guide from Urban Prisoner to Mountain Flyer Must-read for self-drivers: • 6 hours direct from Wuhan, recommended route: take G42 Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway then switch to G59 Hubei North Expressway, exit at "Hongping" • Access code inside the scenic area: except for Dajiuhu, Shennongding/Tianshengqiao/Guanshan can be accessed by car; each vehicle must purchase a 300 RMB pass (including insurance) • Mountain driving tips: after passing the "Jiuhuping" tunnel, switch to sport mode; 15 km of continuous hairpin turns test your driving skills; motion sickness patches recommended Car rental tech tips: • Hidden benefit at Muyuzhen rental point: book 3 days in advance to get free anti-skid chains (essential in winter), daily rental starts at 180 RMB • Shared car trap: only 3 charging stations in the scenic area, electric vehicles are not recommended • Group tour pitfalls: a certain platform’s "399 RMB two-day tour" is actually a shopping tour; genuine pure-play tours average over 800 RMB 2. Time-Space Folding: Magical 24-Hour Itinerary to Explore Shennongjia 05:30 Sea of Clouds Hunt Set up your tripod at Shennongding viewing platform; when the first ray of sunlight pierces the clouds, you will see the sea of clouds rushing through the valley like molten silver. Data shows a 78% chance of sea of clouds in July mornings; remember to wear a windproof jacket (top temperature only 12°C) 09:00 Primitive Forest Exploration Hike the Banbiyán "Stone Forest Maze," home to the world’s most complete Bashan fir community. Scan the QR code on the tree trunks with your phone to hear the 300-year-old ancient fir "tell" survival stories from the glacial period 12:00 Wild Man Feast At Pingqian Ancient Town, try the "Three Treasures of Shennong": rock ear mushroom stewed with native chicken, highland potatoes braised with cured meat, wild fern scrambled eggs. Recommended restaurant: "Old Place," where the owner can teach you how to smoke cured meat with pine needles 15:00 Wetland Rafting Adventure Start a kayaking trip on Lake No. 5 at Dajiuhu; when your paddle parts the emerald water, black swans suddenly dart out from the reeds. Hidden experience: after 6 pm, the lake fogs up, offering a "fairyland rafting" experience (life jacket required) 20:00 Secret Realm Night Don’t miss the live show "Secret Realm Shennongjia," a 270-degree surround theater that takes you back to the tribal era 3,000 years ago. Bonus: after the show, you can take photos with actors wearing real deer skin costumes 3. Ecological Decoding: Shennongjia Cold Facts Not Found in Textbooks 1.

Deep Experience: Unlock 12 Hidden Identities of Shennongjia 1. Geologist: observe 300-million-year-old limestone with a magnifying glass at Tianshengqiao 2. Plant Hunter: make your own plant specimen at Guanshan Ecology Museum 3. Star Photographer: professional observatory and shooting guidance at Tianyan Scenic Area 4. Intangible Cultural Heritage Inheritor: experience Linjun pottery making at Hongping Gallery 6. Blood and Tears Lessons: The Big Pitfalls We’ve Stepped on in Shennongjia 1. Weather superstition: sunny days are beautiful but UV is very strong; reapply SPF50+ sunscreen every hour 2. Equipment mistakes: trekking poles are useless at Shennongding; bring crampons (winter) and anti-slip shoes 3. Time trap: best time to shoot Dajiuhu morning fog is 5:30-7:00; fog dissipates if you’re an hour late 4. Dietary taboos: "Shennong wild vegetables" in the scenic area are mostly cultivated; true wild vegetables only available at farmers’ homes When the last shuttle leaves Dajiuhu and the starry sky begins to flow overhead, I suddenly understand why locals say "Shennongjia is not for sightseeing, it’s for rebirth." Here, 30,000 negative oxygen ions per cubic centimeter wash away city fatigue, and every call of the golden snub-nosed monkey awakens our sleeping wildness.

During our trip to Shennongjia in Hubei, we visited the "Shennongding" scenic area. After purchasing tickets (a full pass for all 6 Shennongjia scenic spots costs 299 yuan, with a half-price ticket of 150 yuan for ages 60-70; ID information must be entered and scanned at the gate), we drove along the winding tourist road surrounded by picturesque landscapes, immersed in lush greenery everywhere (this became our most profound impression of Shennongjia). Our first stop was "Golden Monkey Ridge," a paradise for golden snub-nosed monkeys (though we unfortunately didn't spot any) and a quintessential representation of Shennongjia's primeval forests. Entering the area, towering firs and spruces formed a dense canopy, their trunks draped with moss and vines. Babbling streams flowed under log bridges and across giant stepping stones. Following the path along the creek, we encountered cascading waterfalls with mist spraying everywhere. Leaving Golden Monkey Ridge, we headed to "Shennong Valley." Known for its distinctive U-shaped canyon topography with depths exceeding 500 meters, the valley appeared shrouded in mist when viewed from the observation deck. The abyss with its stone forests and sheer cliffs loomed mysteriously through the haze. Legend says the valley's wonders are only fully visible on clear summer/autumn days when clouds disperse - but during our visit, strong winds and thin fog limited us to a "blurred view through the mist." Next, we ascended toward "Shennongding Peak" at 3,106.2 meters elevation. We climbed the "Central China First Watchtower" (serving critical forest fire prevention, pest monitoring, and weather observation functions) atop the summit. Gazing into the distance, endless mountain ranges swirled with clouds, creating an ethereal fairyland atmosphere. Finally, we entered the primeval forest of "Prince Slope," where sky-piercing firs stood proudly under a dense canopy, transporting us into an ancient mystical painting. The air here was exceptionally fresh with high negative oxygen ion levels, leaving us utterly refreshed and invigorated.

Located in Shennongjia, the Kangdi Junlan Hotel is located halfway up the mountain, overlooking Muyu Town. It has a beautiful environment, clean and spacious, especially the breakfast food is diverse and rich. There is roast goose for breakfast every day, which is really a must.

It really feels like home! 🏖️Environment/Facilities: The restaurant and rooms are clean and spacious, and there is also a spa foot massage available. The environment is also very quiet and quiet. 💰Per capita consumption: Reasonable price, about 200 tonight

Later, I told everyone I met that Shennongjia's summer is so dreamy|||🌿"When the morning mist sweeps over the meadows of Dajiuhu and golden monkeys leap through the fir forests, I am convinced that Shennongjia's green wonderland is the coolest secret fairy tale at 31° north latitude." 📆 3-Day Summer Getaway Itinerary Day 1: Heartbeat of the Forest ▫️ Guanmen Mountain: Drink wild honey tea from beehives on cliffs, and watch "Olympic" pandas gnaw on bamboo in the Panda House. ▫️ Tianyan Scenic Area: Hike the high-altitude Rainbow Bridge and encounter the spectacle of a sea of clouds engulfing the mountains. ▫️ Thrilling Experience: The pitch-black cave in Tianyan Scenic Area, a cool place where you can't see your fingers.

Stay in Muyu Town for three consecutive days and finally catch the Milky Way arch of Shennong Peak. Secret: ✅ Use "Astronomical Pass" to check cloud cover + light pollution level ✅ Shoot from 2–4am, and use a flashlight to illuminate the outline of the fir trees for a more magical effect. 2️⃣ Hidden copy of golden monkeys Is the monkey group in Guanmen Mountain too commercialized? Follow the rangers into the back mountain of the reserve to see wild golden monkey families swinging between the treetops. The blue faces of the little monkeys are so cute that they are suffocating! 3️⃣ High Altitude Reaction Cracking Technique Personally tested and effective as a plains weakling: ✅ Don't wash your hair or take a bath on the first day. ✅ Carry chocolate + a thermos with Astragalus membranaceus water ✅ Learn from the locals to pick "Paris polyphylla" and chew the rhizomes (bitter but refreshing) 🛖 Accommodation Tips ✔️ Choose a homestay with floor heating in Muyu Town, even the quilts are wormwood smoked. ✔️ If you stay in a tent on Shennong Peak, lock up your snacks, animals will steal them in the middle of the night. ✔️ Deep players go camping on "Starry Sky Peak", and the butler can arrange food, drinks and service experiences. 💡 Condensed Survival Guide 🚗 Transportation: When driving into the mountains in Shennongjia, choose "G209 National Highway". The green mountains and rivers along the way are beautiful. 👗 Dressing: Bright-colored windbreaker + big yellow boots, you are a mobile road sign when it is rainy and foggy. 📸 Shooting: Use a 0.5x wide-angle lens to shoot the fir forest, and add a dark corner in the later stage to instantly turn it into "Twilight". 🎫 Tickets: Buy a joint ticket! Separate attractions are so expensive that it hurts. ❣️ I will always remember that morning: Dewdrops formed crystal necklaces on the spider webs, the forest ranger's radio floated with the tune of "Mountain Ghost", and the clouds of Shennong Peak will never tell you whether they will turn into a dragon or a whale in the next second. Perhaps the real fairyland should leave some unsolved mysteries.
