General presentation
Shennongjia
Primary forests, haze peaks and rare fauna occupy an isolated massif on the eastern edge of the Daba Mountains.
The discovery of Shennongjia is centred around the Shennongjia Nature Reserve, the Shennong Pic and the Dajiuhu Valley. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, forests and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
