Yichang Shennongxi Scenic Area

Many people may have heard of the name Shennongjia, but in fact, Shennongxi has some connection with Shennongjia. The water in Shennongxi flows down from the main front of Shennongjia and eventually flows eastward into the Yangtze River from the mouth of Wuxia Gorge. However, during this convergence process, a canyon stream is formed, which is also known as Shennongxi. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery here, you can also enjoy the excitement of drifting. Drifting down with the rushing water all the way feels both thrilling and romantic, and the mountain peaks on both sides are also extremely beautiful and picturesque. This experience is still very fun. Of course, if you feel that this is too scary, you can also sit on a bamboo raft and slowly wander among the streams, quietly experiencing the beauty and magnificence of nature, and experiencing the charm of mountains and waters.

The local customs are also extremely rich, and the ecological environment is diverse and beautiful. Various natural landscapes are also well preserved, making it an extremely worthwhile place for tourists to visit. During the day, you can take a look at the beautiful scenery outside and feel the magical charm of nature. In the evening, you can experience the generosity of the Tujia people, taste the delicious Tujia cuisine, experience the simple customs of the local people, and enjoy the warmth brought by their hospitality. Traveling to this place will make you feel very relaxed and comfortable. You don't have to think about all the worries, just eat and have fun.

Yichang Badong Kouzhun Cultural Park

There are actually only 11 ancient buildings here, although relatively few, they are carefully selected to have the most traditional characteristics. At first, this cultural park was submerged due to the Three Gorges Project. Later, in order to protect cultural relics, 11 buildings were selected next to the new county town for restoration. This scenic area now only covers an area of more than 50 acres and took more than five years to fully build. The entire park is highlighted with a very strong Tujia aroma, and there are often folk performances inside. There are also many models of ruins placed in the houses, etc. It is an important place to learn about the history of Badong. If you are interested in historical stories, then take some time to visit this place.

Yichang Lianzixi Scenic Area

This stream is actually hidden in a large canyon, only two kilometers away from the mouth of Wu Gorge. The mountains on both sides look very steep, and there are even two iron chains hanging on the cliffs. These two iron chains were built during the Qianlong period, so people call this scenic area Lianzi Creek. Although the mountains are very steep, there are not many people who damage the environment here, so the scenery here appears so primitive, with basically no artificial traces, all of which are carefully crafted by nature. There are actually many attractions in this scenic area, and even some nationally protected animals live there. So don't rush to leave here, don't just take a glance and return. You can spend a day leisurely strolling and enjoying the beauty of the mountains and waters.

Yichang Three Gorges Waterfall

The waterfall here is particularly spectacular, ranking fourth in China's waterfall rankings. This place is also a park that integrates canyons, fossils, mountains and rivers, and caves. The entire stream is five kilometers long, and there are more than 30 waterfalls along the way, with the largest one being the main waterfall, which is over 10 meters wide. The greenery in the scenic area is very good, with a vegetation coverage rate of up to 90%. Therefore, this place can also be called a natural oxygen bar, where the air is particularly fresh and the mountains and waters are particularly clear. It can definitely be called a health tourism destination. If you come to Yichang, don't forget to visit this place once.

Yichang Passive Cave

The reason why this place is called this name comes from a legend. It is said that someone once went on an expedition and lit all seven candles in their hand, but still couldn't find the end, which shows how long the cave is. It is also said that this cave can hold more than 10000 people at the same time, and it was the place where the former residents would quietly hide to avoid the arresting officers and soldiers. The entire cave is 16 meters high and 10 meters wide, with a particularly spacious interior and springs flowing out into the Yangtze River. It's the best place to visit in summer. It's extremely cool inside and is a holy place for escaping the heat. Moreover, it has been artificially renovated and built beautifully, making people feel reluctant to leave as soon as they enter.
