Shennongjia Sea of Clouds Wonderland Guide

Dear friends, today I’m recommending an absolutely amazing travel destination—Shennongjia!

🏞️ Must-visit spots: Shennongding, with an altitude of 3106.2 meters, known as the "Ridge of Central China." The sea of clouds and the original fir forest here will make you wonder if you’ve accidentally stepped into a fairyland. Dajiuhu Wetland Park, take the small train around the lake—the scenery is way more beautiful than the screensaver on your phone. The Rainbow Bridge and Swallow Cave in the Tianyan Scenic Area are perfect spots for photos and check-ins. Also, don’t miss the lesser-known secret spots like Xiangxiyuan and Tianshengqiao. Regarding tickets, the six-scenic-area combined ticket costs 299 RMB per person in summer and autumn, and 159 RMB per person in winter and spring. Single scenic area ticket prices vary, for example, Shennongding is 130 RMB per person in summer and autumn.

🏨 Accommodation recommendations: Muyuzhen is the tourism hub with many lodging options, averaging 100-200 RMB per person. Pingqian Ancient Town is close to Dajiuhu, where you can walk directly to see the morning mist at dawn. The "Yiren Holiday Hotel" is recommended.

🍜 Food recommendations: Stir-fried cured meat with eggs, farmhouse smoked cured meat paired with native chicken eggs, so fragrant it will blow your mind. Rock ear chicken soup, nourishing and delicious. Also, cold water fish hotpot will keep you warm and cozy even in winter.

Friends, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags and start a magical journey in Shennongjia now!
