America is better than Jiuzhaigou and Zhangjiajie. These six places tell you why Shennongjia successfully applied for the World Heritage!

On July 17, the 40th World Heritage Conference held in Istanbul announced that China Shennongjia was included in the World Heritage List!

This is the third time that Shennongjia has won the UNESCO world-class title after becoming a UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve and a UNESCO World Geopark. So far, Shennongjia has become the first "Triple Crown" in China, which integrates biosphere nature reserve, world geopark and world natural heritage? Area of honor.

This is also China's 50th World Heritage Site, and 1 will surpass Italy, which ranks first in the world (the total number of World Heritage Sites is * * * 5 1 item).

Then, why can Hubei Shennongjia successfully apply for the World Heritage?

In ancient times, it was still Wang Yang, and Shennongjia was still Wang Yang. It was the Yanshan and Himalayan orogeny that lifted it to multi-level land and became the residual vein of Daba East extension. Today, its highest peak is 3 106.2 meters above sea level, which is the "first peak in Central China", also known as the "roof of Central China".

This is the transition area of plant species between the north and south of China and the intersection area of many animals, and it is the mysterious "Hometown of Savages".

It is the only world-class tourism resource with well-preserved subtropical forest ecosystem in the mid-latitude region of the world, and it is also a vivid and aura "golden monkey home".

Spring at the foot of the mountain in midsummer and ice at the top of the mountain in autumn. I can't get enough of red, orange, yellow and green. It's the most difficult to distinguish between spring, summer, autumn and winter. The beauty here never stops, and the seasons change:

△ In spring, the mountains are full of azaleas, which seems to call everything to wake up from hibernation.

In summer, when the temperature is very high in most cities in China, Shennongjia is a cool place.

△ In autumn, the mountains are colorful and the layers of forests are dyed, which is better than Jiuzhaigou colorful forest.

△ In winter, I can't get enough of the mountain face wrapped in silver, white clouds and snow, and light fog.

You are familiar with the name Shennongjia.

But may never have experienced its true beauty.

① |? Dajiuhu

Dajiu Lake is a subalpine wetland surrounded by high mountains. It is the largest alpine wetland with the highest altitude in Central China. Surrounded by mountains, nine lakes are strung together by a small stream, hence the name Dajiu Lake. There are few primitive plains hidden so deep, and they are called "Hulunbeier" in Hubei. It used to be a lonely mountain lake. Until the 1970s, the government built an artificial river, which merged the overflowing lake into a black river, and the swamp exposed the bottom of the lake, forming today's pasture.

The mountain in the scenic spot is located on the west side of the main peak of Shennongjia, and has the reputation of "the top of Shennong".

Between the broken walls, Baizhang Waterfall plunges down; Farther away, the vast Yangtze River stretches as far as the eye can see. Mountains, dense forests, flowing water, sometimes dripping green and flying green, sometimes melting gold and colorful, sometimes wrapped in fog and smoke, and sometimes wrapped in gauze clouds, there are thousands of scenes.

Shennongjia is a high altitude area, which is not suitable for strenuous exercise. Drink less alcohol, eat more fruits and vegetables, and prepare commonly used outdoor medicines (band-AIDS, anti-allergic drugs, anti-mosquito sprays, etc.). ).

② There is a big temperature difference between day and night in Shennongjia. Please bring enough warm and cold clothes, hiking shoes and sports shoes.
