Matters needing attention

The safety of self-help tour is great, especially in places with complex environment. Pay attention to going to Shennongjia:

1. Shennongjia has a large virgin forest and underdeveloped traffic. Many places are closed to tourists. In order to prevent getting lost in the forest, it is best to hire a tour guide.

2. Wear a hat, long-sleeved clothes and trousers, tighten cuffs and trousers, and wear boots when walking in the forest to prevent being bitten by poisonous insects and poisonous snakes.

Remember to bring gloves. There are many thorns in the forest. Buy a pair of wear-resistant and non-slip shoes. It is best to prepare two pairs in rainy season. Remember to bring a shoe dryer.

4. If you encounter a storm in the mountains, you should first recognize the direction and find a relatively open Ping Zi, so as not to get lost and avoid lightning.

5. Best things to bring: sealed containers (matches and raincoats), anti-ultraviolet glasses, knives, ropes and compasses.

6. It is best not to act alone when two people walk in a row and have a care.

7. Remember to look at the stars on the mountain at night. They are big, bright and numerous, and they are very close to the people.

festival

There are many ethnic minorities in Shennongjia area, and the customs and habits of each ethnic group are different.

Tujia people: Tujia people celebrate the New Year one day earlier than Han people, which is called "catching up with the New Year". It is explained that during the Jiajing period (1522- 1566), the Tusi in western Hubei was sent to the coastal areas to fight against the Japanese invaders. In a battle at the end of the year, it gradually became a custom for Tujia warriors to celebrate the New Year one day in advance in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up on it. When Tujia people celebrate the New Year, the hall is covered with green cloth, bacon, Ciba, pine branches and plum blossoms are put on the sacrificial rice, and there is a small bamboo basket with chopsticks in it. It is said that green cloth represents barracks and chopsticks represent arrows, which means to prevent the enemy from attacking during the New Year. Some people put clothes, quilts and other things on their backs during the Spring Festival, running and hiding all over the hillside.

Miao nationality: Besides the 30th day of the lunar calendar, Miao people also celebrate their own national New Year. Generally speaking, the year of sending is celebrated on the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month, the year of offering is celebrated at noon in the first month, and the year of people is celebrated on the seventh day. It is said that an official drove the Miao people away, and the Miao people dispersed and fled, and they did not meet in the mountain cave until the first month. According to Jiazi, this day coincides with "noon", so the Miao people have the custom of celebrating the New Year at noon every day. No whistling, go to the vegetable garden to find food and water during the festival, and close the door when eating. Don't talk about blood at night, don't talk when sleeping, and don't cry. Miao people think that "man" is seven, so they will celebrate the "Year of Man" on the seventh day of the first month.

Dong people: Dong people once had a "heavy year", that is, they ate rice for two years a day, the first time they ate white rice or green vegetable porridge, and the second time they ate "bibimbap" and rich wine and meat rice. There are two reasons: first, the people surnamed Dong were arrested by the court in a certain year, and every household took a few mouthfuls of rice and ran away, only to settle down after dark, only to find that food and rice had been mixed together, so they got a "meal" to eat; It is said that the ancestors of the Dong nationality were very poor. At the age of 30, they didn't have rice to cook, so they could only eat some green vegetable porridge and dig bracken up the mountain to have a slightly rich New Year's Eve dinner.

Optimal travel time

Every year from June to 10 is the best season for tourism in Shennongjia.

If you want to go to Wudang Mountain again, go to Shennongjia and stay in Shiyan City for one night (I will tell you what price you want to live).

Wudang Mountain can be reached in 30 minutes by expressway from downtown. Students can enjoy a half-price discount when purchasing Wudang Mountain tickets with valid student ID cards (90 yuan). It is recommended to go up the mountain early to avoid congestion. After arriving at Wudang Mountain, you can first visit Taizipo, Xiaoyao Valley, Zixiao Palace (ticket 15 yuan) and Southern Yan Palace, because these four scenic spots are on the same line, which is very convenient.

There is a free martial arts performance in Xiaoyao Valley at four o'clock in the afternoon, and you can stay in Qiongtai at night, because Qiongtai is close to Jinding's ropeway station and there are many places to live.

Cableway fare goes up to 50 yuan and down to 45 yuan (no discount for students). I still have to get up early the next day. If you want to watch the sunrise, climb the mountain at half past four. It's beautiful to watch the sunrise in Jinding.

After visiting Jinding (ticket 20 yuan), you can walk down the mountain, so you can visit some small scenic spots along the way, and then you can leave the scenic spot when you arrive at Southern Yan Palace.
