Shennongjia, Hubei: Chasing the tracks of wild men in the "Roof of Central China"

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. Day 2: First Encounter with a Fairyland in the Clouds ▫️ Shennong Peak: Chase the sea of clouds and sunrise at 7am, and take sci-fi blockbusters in the strange rock formations of Banbi Rock. ▫️ Dajiuhu: Take a small train through the wetlands and feed the sika deer at the Deer Garden (bring carrots!). ▫️ Hidden Play: Those staying overnight in Dajiuhu can enter at 5am to row a transparent boat into the "Sky Mirror" of Lake No. 5. Day 3: Myth Buster of the Secret Realm ▫️ Natural Bridge: Trek through the waterfall group and eat freshly baked alpine potatoes under the rainbow. ▫️ Shennong Altar: Hike up thousands of steps to appreciate the place where Shennong cultivated Taoism. ▫️ Secret Realm Easter Egg: A guide will lead you to explore the depths of the forest and find mysterious scratch marks on the moss-covered rock walls. 🌟 Blood and Tears Experience Sharing 1️⃣ Seas of clouds and starry skies are a matter of probability. 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.
