Shennongjia Introduction

Shennongjia Nature Reserve Area has the wildest scenery in Hubei, combining rolling, majestic mountains and vast expanses of thick forest.

Shennongding, 3105 meters above sea level, is the highest peak in central China. But among the mountains there are many beautiful valleys, including the so-called Hongping Gallery, with its "natural" art displays. Caves, waterfalls and trickling streams add to the charm of the region.

Of the more than 2000 species of wild plants, around 30 are rare. The area is also home to 500 species of wild animals, including 20 that are officially protected by the state.
