2025 Shennongjia Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Xiangxi Source Scenic Area is located in Muyu Town within the Shennongjia Forest Area. It is a small tributary of the Yangtze River, featuring several waterfalls, bridges, pavilions, and waterwheels. The area is lush and serene, maintaining its primitive tranquility. The name 'Xiangxi' comes from a beautiful story. It is said that one of the Four Beauties, 'Wang Zhaojun,' once lived by the stream and often washed her hands in its waters, making the stream fragrant. Additionally, the source of Xiangxi is abundant with blooming orchids, filling the area with their scent, hence the name 'Xiangxi' (Fragrant Stream). Xiangxi Source is the origin of the Xiangxi River, which flows through Xingshan and into Zigui, eventually merging with the Yangtze River. It spans a total length of 96 kilometers. It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, the tea sage Lu Yu visited the source of Xiangxi, tasted the stream water, and was so delighted that he ranked it as the fourteenth best spring in the world. Consequently, Xiangxi Source became renowned for its tea production.

It's not rime ice, but a real snow-covered forest, with thick snow. 😇This is Shennongjia, a lesser-known snow-viewing spot in Hubei. Every year from December to March, the vast forest area is covered with snow🌨, and the first snowfall has already occurred in mid-November this year, ⛷️the skiing season has begun! The winter temperature here is between -5°c and 5°c, which is acceptable to people from Guangzhou, 👬and it's also quite suitable for children, and the scenery is really amazing, especially suitable for southerners to play in the snow. ✈️Transportation Plane Guangzhou～Yichang 2 hours Bus Yichang～Shennongjia 3.5 hours High-speed rail Guangzhou～Xingshan Bus Xingshan～Shennongjia 1 hour (recommended) 🚄High-speed rail is more convenient, but it's hard to get tickets. I couldn't get a high-speed rail ticket so I took a plane, which was quite smooth. 🏨Accommodation It is recommended to stay in 'Muyu Town', where it is convenient to eat and rent snow suits, and there are generally only guesthouses. ☝🏻Star hotels are not in the town, and it is recommended to stay if you drive by yourself. 🔷Snow Viewing In winter, it is suitable to hire a local driver's car, Shennongding + Dajiuhu, you can see all the snow scenery in one day. 💰The cost of chartering a car is 600, but it's worth it, the roads are all snow, and it's not safe to drive by yourself. Shennongding has beautiful weather, with beautiful sea of clouds, high mountains⛰️, and Swiss-like scenery. If you have time, it's more enjoyable to play for 2 days. 🔷Skiing There are five or six ski resorts in Shennongjia, 'Zhonghe Ski Resort' is the closest to Muyu Town, with a free shuttle bus, 20 minutes to get there, less than 200 to ski for a day. I took my child to ski here this time⛷️, it felt pretty good, for beginners and snow play, it's already enough. 'Shennongjia International Ski Resort' 🤩is the largest and most beautiful, suitable for professionals, 🏂snowboarding and the like. It costs 50 to share a ride, and the entrance fee is also more expensive. ✅Rent a snow suit in the town the night before, about 100 for a set, it looks better than the one rented at the ski resort. Put on the snow suit in the morning and go directly to the ski resort to ski~ It's really photogenic.📸 🎈🎈More fun guides on the homepage~ Walking around with kids, I am Little K who loves to travel, with an 8-year-old Meat Meat, love to share travel guides, and also keen to explore places to walk around with kids.❤️❤️ ✅tips 1、The weather is quite cold, if you rent a guesthouse, ask in advance if it's warm enough. 2、Chartering a car, carpooling, buying tickets, you can ask the guesthouse owner. 3、Bring enough medicine to prevent getting sick and having to find medicine everywhere. 4、The mountain roads are very slippery when it snows, I've seen quite a few self-driving accidents, it's better to charter a car. sees snowsees snowskiing guideparent-child toursnowfallfirst snowfallin the snowsee snowInternational Ski ResortInternational Ski ResortwinterguideMuyu Townkids to see snowskiing

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. Enshi Grand Canyon is famous for its complex and steep terrain. Its magnificence is comparable to the Grand Canyon in the United States.

Shennongjia Ski Resort is outfitted with intermediate and middle skiing slopes whose degrees are 5 to 15. Also it is equipped with tow cable way which assumes the shape of "S". When dashing down the mountainside, visitors enjoy a great deal of fun and amusement. At an elevation of 2,000 meters, Shennongjia Ski Resort is located on the top of Jiuhuping (mountain) in Shennongjia Nature Reserve. It is a ski-tourism resort in south China. It has slopes of low and middle levels ranging from 5 to 15 degrees Without a doubt, the forest zone is an attraction teeming with virgin scenery and folk legends, awaiting the enjoyment and excitement of casual tourists and researchers alike. There are three central towns in the area: Muyu, Hongping and Songbai. Among them, Muyu is where the tourist center sets up. #nationalpark#themeparks#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Jinhualing is connected to Hongyan Cave in the south, Xiaolongtan in the north, Turf Bay in the east, Changyanwu in the west, 3019 meters above sea level, 107 kilometers away from Songxiangping. The mountain is golden and cold, the climate is cold, the rainfall is abundant, and the forest is dense. The arrow bamboo is like the sea and has beautiful scenery. The golden monkey, which is listed as a national first-class protected animal, has been here to attract many experts to visit. This mountain has become a rare golden monkey and white bear protection area. Also fortunate to see the golden monkey's style. On the car to Jinhualing, the tour guide and we have always said: You must take a deep breath to the Golden Monkey Ridge! Because this is the best spot for Shennongjia air, negative oxygen ions are several times in the city~~~ Frequently smoked friends must come to wash the lungs! ~ Before entering the golden monkey base, everyone should wear the base-sterilized clothes, because this will prevent humans from transmitting the germs to the monkeys, and the monkeys will not scratch the tourists' clothes. (At the same time as the visit, don't throw some snacks of fruits or toys for the monkeys, the administrators will give them a full meal every day.) After half an hour of intimate contact with the monkeys at the golden monkey base, we will go to the next destination. Land: Xiaolongtan. Xiaolongtan and Dalongtan are all looking at rare animals. What is different from Dalongtan is that there are more wild animals in Xiaolongtan, but they are all in cages, otherwise the bears are easy to hurt people. PS: You can also experience a five-star toilet in Shennongjia in Xiaolongtan. You can try it, haha. "Golden Monkey Flying Waterfall" is a model of Shennongjia Waterfall. It is above the cliffs of Wanzhang, passing through the jungle and plunging down.

The observation deck offers a panoramic view of the "Tianmen looming" spectacle; visit the Anthropoid Animal Research Institute under the mountain pass to learn about Sasquatch scientific investigation data. 4. Sasquatch sighting place and Starry Sky Camp: A sign of "Sasquatch Discovery Place" is erected next to China National Highway 209. You can camp and watch the stars at night, combine hiking routes, explore the secret forest trails, and feel the mysterious Sasquatch culture. 🎟️Ticket information: Single ticket is CNY 45/person, included in the Shennongjia joint ticket; Opening hours: 08:00-17:30 (extended to 18:00 in summer). Best season: Spring and autumn are pleasant, summer is for summer vacation (average temperature is 20℃), and winter is for skiing (adjacent to Shennongjia International Ski Resort). 💗Other tips: Sasquatch legend, the first sighting in 1976 caused a national sensation. The scenic area has a Sasquatch Research Exhibition Hall, displaying "evidence" such as hair and footprints. Rainbow Bridge legend: When China National Highway 209 was opened, 108 workers blasted the mountain and used 7,500 kg of explosives to blast out the Yanzhiya gully, and then built a bridge to connect it. What to wear: The temperature difference in the mountainous area is large, so prepare a windproof jacket and hiking shoes; bring rain gear in the rainy season. Safety first. Some plank roads are slippery. Do not go deep into undeveloped areas alone. Many warning signs say that there are poisonous snakes nearby. Respect wild animals.

**🌲[Shennongjia Travel Guide] Didn't find the wild men, but the scenery is breathtaking!** 📍 **Must-see Hot Spots** 1️⃣ **Shennong Peak**: 2,999 steps to the summit of Central China, where the sea of clouds rolls beneath your feet! (Tickets are CNY 130. We recommend getting up early to catch the sunrise.) 2️⃣ **Dajiuhu**: "Hubei's Little Hulunbuir" in the morning mist. Post photos from the Deer Park on social media and your friends will be blowing up your phone asking for the location! (Tickets are CNY 100) 3️⃣ **Tiansheng Bridge**: Waterfalls + primeval forest, a great place to breathe in the fresh air. We recommend taking deep breaths (after all, you have to pay for air in the city). 🍜 **Wild Flavor Bombs** ✔️ **Stewed Local Chicken with Rock Tripe**: Tree ear growing on cliffs + free-range chicken, so fresh you'll drink the soup to the last drop! (CNY 88/pot) ✔️ **Shennongjia Small Potatoes**: Baked over a wood fire until crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, sprinkled with chili powder. You won't be able to stop popping them in your mouth! (CNY 10/bowl) ✔️ **Wild Honey Yogurt**: Sold by grandmothers on the roadside, sweeter than first love! (CNY 5/cup) 🚗 **Important Transportation Tips** ▪️ Driving is the most convenient, but the winding mountain roads will give you the same dizziness as the "Mount Akina drift king." ▪️ The scenic area's buses are infrequent. If you miss the last bus, you might have to hitch a ride on a local herdsman's motorcycle (exciting!) 💡 **Fun Facts** - Some people actually bring "wild man catching tools" into the mountains... (We suggest you bring a selfie stick instead.) - In June, the alpine rhododendrons bloom into a sea of flowers. In September, the colorful forests look like an overturned palette. **✨ Summary:** Here, pandas act cute (Shennongjia has golden monkeys!), waterfalls boogie, and if you stay in a wooden cabin at night, you can hear unknown animals giving concerts... **——What's wilder than wild men is the taste of freedom!**

#Mainland Travel Shennongjia is a mysterious natural eco-tourism area located in the northwest of Hubei Province. It attracts many tourists with its rich natural scenery and profound cultural heritage. The following are some detailed introductions to Shennongjia travel experience: 1. Natural landscape • Shennongding Scenic Area: As the "Roof of Central China", Shennongding is 3106.2 meters above sea level and is an excellent place to enjoy the magnificent sea of ​​clouds. There are well-preserved virgin forests here, a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. • Dajiu Lake National Wetland Park: Known as the “Hulunbuir of Hubei”, the wetland ecology here is well preserved and looks like a paradise on earth when the morning mist is thick. • Tianyan Scenic Area: Famous for the mystery of its primeval forest and the dreaminess of the Rainbow Bridge, it is a place where wild men have been seen and a summer resort. 2. Cultural Experience • Shennongtan Scenic Area: With the theme of Shennong culture, the Shennong Altar is solemn and dignified, and is an important window for understanding the Yan Emperor culture. • Guanmenshan Scenic Area: An ecological science park that integrates a natural museum, a panda house, and an underground river. It is an ideal place for parent-child travel and study tours. 3. Special Activities • Hiking and photography: There are many hiking routes in Shennongjia, such as the Banbiyan plank road at Shennongding and the circle train around Dajiu Lake, which are paradises for photography enthusiasts. • Ecological science: Guanmenshan’s natural museums are rich and diverse, suitable for exploring the mysteries of nature with children. 4. Travel advice • Transportation: You can drive to visit the main attractions of Shennongjia by yourself. There are environmentally friendly buses providing shuttle services in the scenic area. It is recommended to rent a car from Yichang Xingshan Station, which is convenient and fast. • Accommodation suggestions: Choose accommodation based on the attractions, such as Muyu Town, Pingqian Ancient Town, etc., for easy sightseeing. • Note: The climate in Shennongjia is changeable, so it is recommended to bring cold-proof clothing and rain gear; the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is large, so a jacket is essential. 5. Conclusion Shennongjia attracts countless tourists with its unique natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. It is a tourist destination worthy of in-depth exploration. Whether it is hiking, photography or ecological science, this place can meet the needs of different tourists.

During my trip to Wuhan, I wanted to see some of the surrounding scenery, so I chose the primeval forest of Shennongjia: On the first day, I arrived just in time for the scenic area's upgrade and improvement. • The Shennong Altar has finally regained its former solemnity. • In Guanmen Mountain, I saw pandas, beehives, and the Hominid Science Museum. • At Tiansheng Bridge, there are two waterfalls at the entrance to the scenic area. On the second day, I encountered a cold snap and heavy snow. • The flowers in front of the B&B were covered with a thick layer of snow. • The Shennongding Scenic Area was covered in silver. One day it was lush green, and the next day it was covered with a thick layer of snow. However, due to the sudden heavy snow, Jinhouling and Banbi Rock were inaccessible. The original one-day trip was cut short by half a day, and in the afternoon, I could only wander around near the B&B. Scenery along the way • The round-trip bus from Muyu Town to Xingshan Station has scenery that far surpasses the six major scenic spots. The journey there was on a sunny day, surrounded by green hills and clear waters. The return trip was after the snow, with clouds and mist all the way. Final tips: The tourist shuttle buses to Guanmen Mountain, Tiansheng Bridge, and Shennong Altar Scenic Areas are not available during the off-season. They are only available from April 1 during the peak season, which is a bit outrageous for a 5A scenic area. Independent travelers who come from afar to visit the six major scenic spots can only choose to charter a car, but car rentals in Shennongjia are generally a bit expensive, and drivers are prone to canceling orders or adding extra fees on the spot (I encountered both situations this time). Fortunately, I came across the "CNY 1 purchase" during the off-season, otherwise, it would have been a real loss to come all the way here with a CNY 299 ticket.
