Introduction of Shennongxi Scenic Area

Shennongxi, originating from the main peak of Shennongjia, flows through Badong County, Hubei Province, passes through the deep mountain canyon from north to south, and joins the Yangtze River to the east of Wuxiakou. Shennongxi is a typical canyon stream, with tight peaks and steep cliffs on both sides. The stream collides with the knife-like gorge wall and the waterway twists and turns. There are more than 60 rapids, long beaches, curved beaches and shoals in the fast-flowing streams. Although the waterway is narrow but shallow, drifting is extremely exciting and safe. The following is the introduction of Shennongxi scenic spots I collected, hoping to help you!

Introduction of Shennongxi Scenic Area

Shennongxi flows through the Three Gorges with different scenery-Mianzhu Gorge, Parrot Gorge and Longchangdong Gorge. The scenery on both sides of the river is wonderful, and there are few open spaces in the canyon. At the narrowest point, the two sides are only 7 meters apart. The ship sails in the gorge, such as crossing a secluded lane and slamming the door. The peaks hundreds of meters high are pressing face to face, and the waterway in front is almost invisible.

In Mianzhu Gorge, which is famous for its dangers, it is difficult to climb caves all over the cliffs, with huge stalactites hanging upside down in the air, narrow riverbed and large drop. There are more than 30 large and small rapids in the 4 km waterway. Rafting by boat, all by boating skills, makes people feel heart-pounding, but it is near misses.

Parrot Gorge is the most beautiful in the Three Gorges, with vegetation hanging like tassels on both sides, evergreen seasons, waterfalls and springs in Dishuiyan and overlapping wonders. There is a canyon where flowers can be seen in full bloom in both winter and summer, hence the name "Nianhuatan"; There is a place where there is "the water of nine streams". There are many spring streams gushing from the spring eye beside the stream, which are divided into three colors and muddy, hence the name "three-color spring".

The last gorge in Shennongxi is Longchang Cave Gorge, which is less than 20 meters wide. The stone walls on both sides of the canyon stand in the water continuously, winding for more than 5000 meters, which is a great hero of Zhuantang Gorge. Along the way, you can see the cultural landscape-rock coffins and ancient plank roads. On the cliff150m above the water surface on the east bank of the canyon, there are many small sarcophagus caves with different shades, which are clearly visible to the naked eye.

Shennongxi is a natural stream without pollution. The stream is crystal clear, and there is almost no mixed water except for the "three-color spring". The bottom of the stream is covered with colorful stones, like flowers. The rushing water is like snow and fog, and the ship flies; Quiet lake is formed in slow water, with thick green and unpredictable boats rippling; The depth of shallow water is below the knee, and the bottom of the boat rubs the pebbles in the river, making a sound, all by pulling the fibers.

The boat that Liushen traveled west was shaped like a half-cut pod, and the locals called it "pea horn". It is small and light, made of hard and wear-resistant oak, with great buoyancy and shallow draft, and can be driven in shallow water below the knee. "Pea Horn" is completely manipulated by human beings, and each ship needs six boatmen. Boatman punting is the "best" landscape of Shennong River. The water in Shennongxi is very dangerous, and there is little room for boatmen to stand on the beach. All they need to do is wade and pull the fibers. Walking in front of the "head fiber" and the "driver" at the stern took the lead in shouting horns and acoustically shaking the canyon. The boatmen responded by calling back, and the Force followed the sound. They stopped on the beach. When launching, the ship rampaged in the tortuous waterway, and the "boatman" controlled the direction of the ship with paddles and poles. The ship was running at a high speed in the rushing water, and the passengers on board were pounding like drums. Shennongxi passes through two small Tujia villages. The village hidden among phoenix bamboo, banana leaf, citrus forest and Chinese tallow tree is like a paradise. Here, the stream is quiet and colored stones are all over the beach. Visitors can rest in Tujia Diaojiao Building, or swim, or pick up stones, or visit the ancient and primitive water mills and stone mills in the village, and watch the rough Bashan dance, folk songs, wine tasting, corn wine and Tujia rice of Tujia people.

Shennongxi, also known as Du Yanhe, is located on the north bank of Badong New County. It is the first tributary of the Yangtze River after leaving Wuxia and entering the wide valley in western Hunan. It originated from the southern slope of Shennongjia virgin forest, Hubei Province, which is known as the first peak in Central China, with a total length of 60 kilometers. For thousands of years, Shennongxi, like a dragon, stood between Chung Shan Man and the abyss, and finally quietly embraced the vast Yangtze River in Xirangkou, Badong County, Hubei Province.

Before the impoundment of the Three Gorges Project, tourists should take the primitive and quaint Tujia wooden boat "Pea Corner" to drift and visit Shennong River. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful Tujia Bashan dance and tweeter, which makes YoYo jump.

After the impoundment of the Three Gorges Project, tourists have to take a large environmental protection cruise to visit Shennong River. This kind of environmental protection cruise ship can't enter Shennong River before storing water. Shennongxi Canyon has not weakened its sense of canyon because of the rising water level. The two sides of the strait are only fifty or sixty meters apart, and the peaks are still towering. The cruise ship rippled in the canyon, suddenly revealing a valley on the left and suddenly turning out a new world on the right.

Today, Shennongxi is a green world. The water is thick green, the mountain is green, and it is an accessible green. It has become a scenic spot with deep Three Gorges Gorge, shady trees, clear water and picturesque scenery.

Shennongxi, like the Three Gorges of Daning River, is also divided into Three Gorges. After the impoundment of the Three Gorges Project, Longchang Cave Gorge and Parrot Gorge have changed greatly, while Mianzhu Gorge is still primitive. The tourism department has developed a new project for boatmen to pull fibers naked here to make up for the regret caused by the disappearance of the original custom in Shennongxi. The sound of trumpets singing loudly from the boatman's mouth is attached to stone walls, streams and pebble beaches and can be heard in the canyon. The scenery and people in Shennongxi are beautiful, and this beauty is eternal. ...

Shennongxi originated from Jigong Mountain in Shennongjia virgin forest. Shennongjia is located between the Yangtze River and Hanshui River, north of the Three Gorges. The highest peak of Fiona Fang 3250 is 3052 meters above sea level, which is called "the first peak in Central China".

There are steep cliffs on both sides of the stream, and the narrowest part is less than 5 meters. Most rocks are cut to 80-90 degrees, with a relative height difference of 300-800 meters and an average daily flow of 20 cubic meters per second. The steepest monkey cave has a drop of 3 meters and flows into the Yangtze River at the west entrance 2000 meters east of Wuxiakou. More than 20 kilometers upstream from the source of Xikou, it can drive a "pea horn" gondola with a load of 2.5 tons all the year round. Upstream of the stream is the mysterious Little Shennongjia National Nature Reserve. Shennongxi drifting scenic spot is 20 kilometers, which is unique and integrates the beauty, beauty and danger of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Mianzhu Gorge, Parrot Gorge and Longchang Gorge are three natural canyons with their own characteristics, covering an area of 57.5 square kilometers.

The reason why Shennong River can drift in four seasons depends on the sufficient water provided by Shennong Spring. "Shennong Spring" originated from Jigong Mountain on the west side of the main peak of Shennongjia, and was not affected by rain and drought. It gushed out from the abdomen of Jigong Mountain day and night and took the road away. "Flying down three thousands of feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has set for nine days." Its magnificence and magic are unique in the world.

Shrub vegetation is flourishing in the scenic area. Mountain flowers are fragrant, monkeys play and haunt, and Yan Yan flies. There are more than 60 caves and more than 30 dangerous beaches on both sides of the stream. There is a saying that "there are three bays in a mile, and each bay has a beach". The water here is crystal clear, deep pools are green, waterfalls are everywhere, hanging coffins and plank roads, primitive ships and village customs have become a unique tourist attraction in Shennongxi.

Shennongxi: the magical century legend and simple Tujia customs

"Stay away from the water snake all the way and embrace Jiangcun in the wild teeth. One leaf orchid boat dragon cave house, several huts and savages. Winter is pure green pine and fir trees, and spring is peach hearts and plums. The position of violets at the foot of the mountain is always covered by white clouds. "

This poem named Xirangxi was written by Du Fu, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he lived in Xirangkou, Shennongxi. It expresses the poet's infinite attachment to the natural beauty of Shennongxi, and still gives people a feeling of being there.

In the first month of the third year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (768), Du Fu went to Xirangxi from Kuizhou East, Sichuan Province, and suddenly felt a little unwell, so he rented a thatched cottage here for temporary support. During his stay in Xirangkou, Du Fu enjoyed the scenery of Xiajiang River and visited Shennong River, and wrote many famous sentences.

Shennongxi is a constant flow on the north bank of Wuxia in Badong County, with a total length of 60 kilometers. It originated in the southern foot of Shennongjia, a virgin forest, and flowed into the Yangtze River from north to south at Wuxiakou, Badong County, Hubei Province. Shennongxi is famous for its primitive, simple and pollution-free natural environment. It has beautiful natural scenery, charming cultural landscape and rich folk customs, and is known as the "Emerald Waterway" of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

199 1 year, Shennong River was turned into an international tourist attraction and became another hot spot of Three Gorges tourism.

Rare birds and animals, such as flying squirrel, golden monkey, Sumen antelope, etc. Living in the virgin forest at the source of Shennong River, especially there are many kinds of white animals, such as pheasant, white snake, white goat and white golden monkey. There are also many precious plants growing here, such as wintersweet, chrysanthemum, onion, Manglietia, fragrant fruit tree, cabbage and so on.

Davidia involucrata is particularly striking. The tree is tall and straight, the flowers are white and flawless, and the flowers covered with branches are like doves spreading their wings, hence the name "dove tree". According to relevant data, this tree was completely extinct after the Quaternary Glacier, and the unique natural geographical environment in Shennongjia made Davidia involucrata escape the fate of extinction and be preserved. Now Davidia involucrata, as a beautiful symbol of peace, has already gone abroad and gone to the world.

Shennongxi is divided into Mianzhu Gorge, Parrot Gorge and Longchang Cave Gorge, and each gorge has its own unique and charming natural scenery.

There are all kinds of stalactites in Mianzhu Gorge, including a steep and narrow horizon, "Python coming out of the mountain" and "Savage reaching out".

There are three-color springs in Parrot Gorge. The nine springs flowing from the Rocky Mountains naturally fall into three distinct colors: clear, turbid and turbid, forming a colorful spring flow that stretches for hundreds of meters. Swallow Cave, whose entrance is 80 meters high and 30 meters wide, is named after thousands of short-billed Jin Siyan flying in the cave. Fifty meters into the cave is the "Qian Shan Yard". The terraces formed by the accumulation of dissolved rocks are arranged up and down in the shape of "pin", and there are obvious "ridges" between the blocks.

Longchang Cave Gorge also has amazing scenery. According to the history book "The Jade Emperor Ji Sheng", "This cave is not a cave, but a wonder of mountains and rivers! A hole of ten miles can stand upright back and forth. " .

Shennongxi, the hometown of Ba people, has nurtured a unique Ba culture. In ancient times, Bawu Township, the ancestor of the Ba people, led the Ba tribe to sail westward by earth boat, defeated the fierce beaches and bad waters along the way, and finally reached Yicheng, establishing the Ba country.

The ancient plank road ruins and hanging coffins on the rock walls on both sides of Shennong River are miracles created by Ba people with their own wisdom and hands. Today, Tujia people living by Shennong River are descendants of Ba people. They are generous and open-minded, good at singing and dancing, and have the legacy of Ba people.

Salxie is a primitive and ancient folk song and dance of Tujia nationality, which is still widely spread today with its unique style, rough dance, bright rhythm and high-pitched tune.

Weeping wedding song is another unique art form created by Tujia people. Weeping wedding songs, as the name implies, are the songs that the bride sings when she gets married. It is a special art form for Tujia girls to express their love and hate for the world, life, morality and ideals. Cry without sorrow, and the artistic charm of singing like tears is enduring.

Tangxi is a popular Ba opera in Shennongxi area, which is rich in local and ethnic colors, rich in content, diverse in forms and unique in singing, and is deeply loved by people.

Beautiful natural scenery and mysterious humanistic characteristics make Shennongxi a popular tourist attraction at home and abroad. On May 24th, 1987, a joint investigation team organized by the State Council Tourism Coordination Group made a field trip to Shennong River, and agreed that Shennong River is located in the main scenic spot of the Three Gorges tourist route of the Yangtze River, with unique landscape and high tourism development value. In July of the same year, after demonstration, Shennongxi was designated as one of the eight key development zones on the Three Gorges tourist route of the Yangtze River.

Among them, the particularly attractive tourism project is Shennong River rafting. The pea horn boat that tourists take is almost an unmodified relic of the Ba people. It is said that the ancestors of the Pakistanis moved westward in this pea horn boat and established the Pakistani state. Through the tracker's pure natural tour mode, the tracker in Shennong River is as magnificent as the scenery in Shennong River, and their hearts are more like streams in Shennong River, clear, bright and pure. For thousands of years, agricultural and sideline products, daily industrial products and ordinary people entering the county town have been transported in and out by Shennongxi trackers by Shennongxi flat ship. Because the water in Shennongxi is not too deep, only about a foot, so the boat rides on it, and sometimes the bottom of the boat rubs sand and makes a "bang" sound, just like rowing on land. Sometimes it is necessary to pull the fiber backwards to limit the speed, which is called "pulling the cow backwards". When crossing the shoal, the trackers competed to enter the water and carry the water across the beach, especially the water, all by pulling the optical fibers together, and the sound of the horn echoed in the empty valley, showing the powerful power of the trackers in Shennongxi to move mountains and pour the sea. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of Shennong River and experience the fun of fighting with the wind and waves, but it will not cause any pollution to the natural environment of Shennong River and form a good atmosphere for people to live in harmony with nature.

Because the trackers in Shennongxi mostly push boats and pull fibers in the water, they are almost naked in winter except wearing coats. Because wearing pants in the water is easy to hinder the operation, even if they wear shorts and get soaked in water, they will scratch their skin quickly, so they can only be naked. Although they are naked and indecent, they are beautiful inside. No matter the big girl or the little wife, they were all naked and carried to the shore, with no evil thoughts, unchanged faces and no heartbeat, which fully showed their purity and greatness.

Let's borrow Lu You's poems to appreciate the charming scenery of Shennongxi once again.

"I borrowed Qingxi fishing, and the sand surface was slightly rainy and wet. From then on, the poem was in Badong County, not in the snow of Baqiao. "

In 2003, the Three Gorges Dam was completed and Gaoxia Pinghu appeared. The downstream of Shennong River will become a wide valley, and the drifting section will extend upstream. The natural scenery in the upper reaches of Shennong River is more beautiful, and the drifting interest is multiplied, which will become a scenic spot to attract Chinese and foreign tourists.
