Shennongjia what fun place Shennongjia wild man?

Shennongjia's origin and the story of Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs: in ancient times, Shennong in order to taste all kinds of herbs and led the people to find a mountain, see the steepness of the mountain that there must be a miraculous medicine. He first taught the people to "set up wood as a house to avoid danger"; then taught the people to "set up wood as a ladder to help climb the edge"; 400 kinds of medicines were collected, and wrote "Shennong's Classic of the Materia Medica". In order to honor his memory, the descendants called this high mountain Shennongjia.

My friend said to me that Shennongjia has a mysterious beauty, where the clouds are so dense that you can reach for them. So, I was full of yearning for that piece of scenery, and wanted to explore the primitive mystery there, to experience what it is like to reach for the clouds and smoke.

However, the world is unpredictable, and the friend who said he would accompany me there has not been heard from since. But the anticipation in my heart is not the slightest bit attenuated. I always want to go to there, maybe for a hold, a promise, a surprise, or a period of end.

So, in this early summer, with just the desire to travel with the sister, began our 5-day Hubei Shennongjia trip.

Hubei is a long way from Shanghai, and the journey for two people, if you choose to travel freely, to cope with the rugged mountain road driving, it is difficult to ensure safety. So on Ctrip to participate in a 5-day group tour more relaxed (tour fee of 2,550 yuan / person, including all the transportation, accommodation, all tickets, boat tickets and the middle three days of meals). Apart from the time constraints and lack of freedom of movement, the savings and convenience is the biggest advantage. In addition, you can visit the Three Gorges Dam along the way and tour the scenery along the Yangtze River on both sides of the river, which is another kind of feeling.

There is always a gap between imagination and reality. Imagine the Shennongjia, should be endless mountains, pedestrians in the canyon along the stream, around the dense vegetation and sometimes infested golden monkeys, to the tourists mischievous request for food, all the way to play all the way to the accompaniment of the gentle mountain wind whisked through the ears, fresh air into the nose, the deeper the mountains, the more cozy the more peace and quiet. The reality is that tourists take the tour bus, along the mountain highway all the way, to the attractions after a short stay, and then run to another attraction, there is no freedom of walking, and close contact with the wilderness and mountains of the wild and uninhibited. A long drive, but also more or less disturbed the tour of the input and focus, not like more than just walking to the sunset dusk more intoxicated.

Perhaps, Shennongjia is vast and deep, the dispersion of attractions, is the need for such a mountain road to realize. But in any case, I finally lifted the veil of her mystery, and finally appreciated her unique beauty.

DAY1

Shanghai-Yichang

D2216 departed from Shanghai at 8:39 and arrived in Yichang at 16:38. The long journey was made possible by the company of my sister, who arrived unconsciously in the midst of chatting. Ctrip guide picked up at the train station and checked in at the China World Trade Center Hotel.

Because of the train's inattention, my sister's left neck was accidentally sprained, painful and swollen. After a short rest, she went to a nearby pharmacy to buy Yunnan Baiyao aerosol before enjoying her first meal of Yichang cuisine at a restaurant around the hotel.

After dinner, I traveled west along Yunji Road to Riverside Park, just as the sun was setting. Looking far away from the end of the Yangtze River, the setting sun slowly sinking, the red haze piled up into a piece of the western sky and the river, radiating a soft golden light to, like blood like fire, extremely spectacular.

Independence of the riverside, inadvertently recalled a saying: "people say that the sunset is the end of the world, forget the end of the world do not see home". People far away from home, look at the sunset will think of family, at this time I, and who is missing?

The most beautiful sunset

At 11:30, the travel agency car to the East Railway Station, ready to take the D2218 back to Shanghai.

With a body full of fatigue, into the long journey, seems to have come to the time when the enthusiasm of chatting, so the novels and videos became the best companion of the trip. The train finally pulled into Hongqiao at 9:20pm. It was like a lifetime ago when I was in the middle of the crowded crowd. All the peace and quiet seemed to have left me, and I was about to get back to my busy life. But the good memories of this trip will remain in my mind and comfort me when I am tired. The spotless sky there will sweep away the haze in my heart as I reminisce.

What day will the next departure be, and where will it be? Maybe Xinjiang, maybe Inaccessible, maybe it is a time to say go anywhere in the landscape.

Summary

1, the cost: tour fee 2,550 yuan / person, in addition to the group meal of food and beverage costs 80 yuan / person, shopping (mushrooms, fungus, small food, etc.) 300 yuan. Total 2,930RMB. The group tour is less free, but still more money-saving Oh.

2, because you want to visit Yichang and the Three Gorges scenic area, so choose a 5-day tour to reach Yichang in and out. For tourists with shorter vacations, you can take a plane directly from Shanghai to Shennongjia, but the plane is more uncertain, there may be a standby landing and so on.

3. Even in the hot summer, Shennongjia has cooler weather in the morning and evening, making it a good place to escape the heat. If the weather condition is bad, you need to consider carrying down jacket.

Preparation

1, bring a thick jacket and umbrella, pay attention to the weather travel, we set off on the first day to see the weather for three days it rained, the day of departure found the weather is sunny side of the sun heard the poison, so a thick jacket and umbrella must be. I was May 19th to go to Shennongjia, summer resort at this time is still quite cool, but the tour to the mountains when the wind is very strong, the temperature is much lower than 15 degrees to 25 degrees or so, it is best to bring a thicker jacket (when wearing long pants, short sleeves, thin jacket at night has been a runny nose)

2, ready to get seasickness medication (it is best to buy will not be sleepy that kind of scenery along the way are not bad). From Shiyan to Shennongjia, and then play almost all mountain roads, all the way upside down all the way bend. We came back when someone threw up all the way.

3, it is best to wear sports non-slip shoes. All the way to the car is more, but walking place is also quite a lot.

4, students should of course bring a student ID card ~ scenic pass (including Shennong top, Tiansheng Bridge, Shennong altar, Guanmen Mountain, Dajiu Lake, Tianyan scenic area) 269 yuan to enjoy half-price concessions Oh! That is 135 dollars! This ticket is to give you a card don't lose, five days these scenic spots can go (can not repeat into the same scenic spot is not clear)

6, the driver uncle said their hotel 80 a night (wood fish town) have a car can take follow you half a day 50, a day of 100 a person, but I think this should be with someone else, the specifics of the time you can ask before deciding, we booked ahead of time in the Dajiu Lake hotel did not live.

7, the tourist off-season when the scenic bus frequency is particularly low, and very early, I heard that in the Shennong top of the scenic area only stays five big attractions other non-stop, and it seems to be only pick up the tour group, the specifics are not too clear, because stayed two days did not sit.

8, we to Shennongjia when there is no bus, had to charter a car to go, the price of 400 yuan, I do not know how much money in peak season, very expensive ah! Ride in a private car, the driver's skills are quite good, all the way not so upside down, if you want to charter a car I think you can call on more than one person (3, 4 it, private cars can not sit too many people) to spread down cheaper, the benefits of chartering a car is that the small attractions you can call to stop and take a picture of the driver will be waiting for you, in short, like a vip ha ha ha, it's just expensive!

9, Dajiu Lake scenic area on the other side of the Shennong top, touring the top of the Shennong can live in Dajiu Lake, wait until the next morning to see the morning mist.

(Scenic ticket lady told me that the morning fog is not every day, depending on luck, we are lucky)1

10, Dajiu Lake scenic area as early as 6:00 car, want to see the morning fog is best to get up early to catch the class, we catch the 7:00 class, also saw the morning fog, is a short period of time.

11, Dajiuhu scenic area also need 60 dollars of car, into the first bus to the attractions, attractions have a small train (scenic area car) 20min a, to take you to a few lakes shuttle (not every lake are stopped).

12, the big nine lakes back to the wood fish car 8:30 in the morning is gone, or on the chartered 400 back to the wood fish, a few people together can be considered, but the wood fish back to Shiyan car only 8:30 in the morning class, you can choose to go back to the wood fish in the vicinity of the tour Tianshengqiao, Shennong altar and other scenic spots, live one night and then take the bus back to Shiyan.

13, our second day in the Dajiu Lake play to noon before coming out, choose to stay in the hotel another night, the next day there is a trip to 7:00 a few cars specifically from the pingqian ancient town (outside the Dajiu Lake, where we live) to the town of Songbai (Shennongjia's first big town), about 10:00 to take 11:30 car (the last class back to Shiyan, the ticket price of 70) back to Shiyan at about 4:00 pm

Shannong top scenic area in the morning at 9:00 am, you can choose to go back to Muyu, Tiansheng Bridge, Shennong Temple and other scenic spots nearby, stay a night and then take a ride back to Shiyan

. p>Shennong top scenic 9:00 a.m. from Shiyan, 12:00 p.m. stopped at a small hotel to eat (a little expensive, vegetables 15, eggs 20, meat 25, rice 2 yuan a bowl) more than three o'clock in the afternoon to the wood fish, because not in advance with the driver said that the hotel set up a good big nine lakes, and then spent 10 yuan to take the inter-village bus up to the interchange center, but it was less than four o'clock there is no bus, had to spend 400 chartered car all the way to play the big nine lake scenic area. The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to buy a new car.

1, Xiaolongtan (wildlife rescue station) golden monkeys are very nice ~ hope less poaching, and golden eagles and bears.
