In April on earth, spring and Jingming, grass long warblers fly.
Kunming jacaranda, Liuzhou bauhinia, Xinghua rape flower... A hundred flowers bloom, but there are always some places that don't go the usual way and go out of the circle in an alternative way.
Recently, Hubei Shennongjia because of a spring snow, brush screen network!
Spring is a beautiful day, and the snow is even more beautiful.
Shennongjia after the snow seems to be draped with a layer of white silver blanket, which adds a touch of mystery to this place with the "legend of the wild man".
Mountains, lakes, clouds and snow intertwine to create a unique spring snowscape that forms a wonderful ink and danqing painting, which is like a dream.
Shennongjia
"Southern Snow Capital"
Located in the western part of Hubei Province, Shennongjia is known as "dividing the Han River from north to south, and connecting Bachu from east to west", which is named after the legend that the ancestor of China, Shennong, tasted hundreds of herbs to save the people.
Since its opening, Shennongjia has had a sense of mystery that other scenic spots have not had, especially the scenic spots that prohibit tourists from going deep into the forest.
The legends of "Savages" and "Ghost Cities" cast layers of eerie fog over the place.
Because of this, Shennongjia has always been a "pure place", with deep forests and valleys, isolated from the world.
Here the scenery of the Flood Era has been well preserved, and the landscape is "majestic, beautiful, quiet and wild".
Someone once said that Shennongjia "at the foot of the mountain is in the middle of summer and spring, the foothills are full of ice on the top of the mountain in autumn, the orange, yellow and green are not enough to see, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter are the most difficult to distinguish." ”
Shennongjia is beautiful all year round.
In spring, the branches are emerald green, and a hundred flowers bloom, fresh and natural.
In summer, the sky is high and cloudy, the trees are lush, and the water is flowing, which is a perfect summer sanctuary.
In autumn, the forest area is replaced with makeup, and the forest is dyed, as if it is a palette that God has overturned.
In winter, the mountains are covered with snow, wrapped in silver, and the rime that stretches for tens of square kilometers has its own beauty, solidifying the most beautiful moments in the world.
Shennongjia is not only the only well-preserved oasis in Chinese mainland, but also the only green treasure in the latitude region of the world.
Here, all you can see is painting.
The tranquility of the woods, the waves of the lake, the mystery of the mountains... Everything here makes people forget the hustle and bustle and feel like they are in a different world.
If you understand Shennongjia, you must be eager to walk into it, touch the ancient flood wasteland, listen to the silence of the distant mountains, and perceive the endless mystery and temptation of the primeval forest.
Shennongjia
Enjoy the inexhaustible good mountains and water scenery
The beauty of Shennongjia lies in its mountains.
The mountains here are extremely steep, and the rapids wash over the years have created countless ravines.
Surrounded by green mountains in spring, the emerald green is dotted with snow, beautiful and quiet.
Here is the "first peak in central China" - Shennongding.
Shennong Peak is the highest peak of Shennongjia, 3104 meters on the top of Shennong, snowflakes flying, everywhere is wrapped in silver, it is simply a realistic version of Frozen.
Alpine rhododendrons are proudly blooming in the wind and snow, and the mountains and rivers at the foot of the mountain are beautiful, and as the altitude increases, the field of vision is vast.
If you want to climb to the top of Shennong, you need to first defeat the 2999 steps of Qingyun Ladder, the long road is long, and many people have not been able to reach the top of the mountain.
If you are lucky enough to reach the top and step on the huge valley under your feet, the feeling of "overlooking the mountains and small mountains" is absolutely unforgettable.
Here is the national treasure giant panda - Guanmen Mountain.
Guanmen Mountain can be said to be the epitome of Shennongjia.
It is an ideal place to get close to nature and explore strange things, and it also collects more than 2,000 kinds of native plants in Shennongjia.
The scenery here is beautiful, the valley is deep and densely forested, and the mountains and rivers are reflected.
A river and two roads run through this, showing the characteristics of "mountains as the foundation, water as the soul, and mountains and rivers blending".
Walking through the forest, you can rub shoulders with precious ancient relict plants such as tung tree and goosefoot catalpa;
Wading in the streams of Shennongjia, you can also meet golden monkeys, white storks, giant pandas and other animals and birds unexpectedly.
The beauty of Shennongjia lies in its fog.
"Walk to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise", if Shennongjia's Mountain is a rough and bold poem, then her fog is a light and flowing painting.
Ethereal and illusory, deep into a sea of fog, thin as a light veil, moving like a waterfall, the mountain and the tree are hidden from time to time in the unpredictable fog, and the manners are endless.
There is a wetland between the clouds, Dajiu Lake.
After the snow, the Great Nine Lakes are one colored, the sky and the earth are magnificent, quiet and ethereal.
The morning fog of Dajiu Lake was thick, like a sleeping maiden lying quietly on the edge of the mangy mountains of Shennongjia.
It is so beautiful that people can't bear to disturb it, and the sun shines, showing a dreamlike landscape painting.
In the afternoon, rent a bike and ride through the green grass, and the occasional wildflowers and snow on the roadside are enchanting.
There is a beautiful place here - Xiangxiyuan.
This is a tributary of the Yangtze River, and it is said that Wang Zhaojun returned to his hometown and relatives before he left the country and kissed.
When washing your face in the stream, a string of pearls is lost, and since then, the stream has been clear and fragrant all year round, so it is called Xiangxi.
It's a beautiful place with clear sweet streams and beautiful peaks.
Clouds and mist are deep in the forest, exotic flowers and plants are in the forest, rivers and valleys are in the mountains, and fragrant flowers and plants dot the wilderness.
The beauty of Shennongjia lies more in her nature.
There are no poetry and songs from literati rioters, no morning bells and twilight drums of monks and Taoists, or even too many artificial axes and knives.
Here, the water of the lake and the hissing of birds are natural in the eternal silence of the mountains.
There is a mountainous Tiansheng Bridge here.
People who have not gone to the Tiansheng Bridge always feel that the Tiansheng Bridge is nothing more than "a water on the water, through both sides of the strait".
However, everyone who has been there has lamented the wonders of nature.
The mountain is naturally washed by the stream and gushes out of the hole, and the waterfall is like thunder.
However, the upper mountain is closely connected, flying between the two mountains, standing on a high place, you can observe the waterfall straight down, and the jade beads splash.
You can also enjoy the strange stones in the pool, Yangtan, Eagle Lake, Mingyue Lake each lead the way; Yishui Bridge, Qixi Bridge, Guanyin Bridge are different.
It has the highest scenic bridge in Asia.
The famous saying "The difficulty of the Shu Dao is difficult to go to the Qingtian" has been passed down through the ages.
But when you are really in the middle of the cliffs of Tianyan, overlooking the mountains, there is even more indescribable excitement and excitement.
Feiyundu is a scenic bridge over the mouth of the Swallow Pass, which is the highest scenic bridge in Asia with high overhang and large span.
Climb aboard the Yantian Flying Ferry, the unpredictable natural landscape, the primeval forest that cannot be seen at a glance, which is amazing and fascinating.
But all this is so harmonious and quiet, comfortable and peaceful.
Shennongjia color
It must be more beautiful than you think
Shennongjia is the embodiment of nature, the mountains are her coat, the river is her eyes, and the forest is her hair.
This is one of the "places that people have to go in their lifetime" promoted by National Geographic magazine.
In the spring here, the footsteps are always slightly hesitant, and the snow on the mountains is soaked with the drunken beauty and magic of Shennongjia spring.
In a spring snow, the branches on the deciduous shrubs are crystal clear and smooth; the leaves of the pine trees are gathered in clusters of ice and crumbling;
The arrow bamboo body of the withered light rod of the mountain was wrapped in white ice, like a sword out of its sheath, piercing the sky.
Dream-like forest, the soft sound of the branches, the quiet dawn, a wisp of morning light sprinkled in the endless mountains.
When the ice and snow melted and everything recovered, Shennongjia once again echoed the melody of spring.
If you understand Shennongjia, be sure to find time to check it out here.
Here in the spring, the cuckoos compete for beauty, the clouds and mist steam in summer and autumn, and the snow in the hundred mountains in winter.
Go to Shennongjia, listen to her ancient legends, feel her mysterious and distant, and experience her natural tranquility....
