Deep in the mountains, 9 pearls are hidden
In the midst of the Shennongjia mountains, known as the 'Roof of Central China,' lies a 17 square kilometer alpine wetland. A small stream connects 9 lakes, hence the name Dajiuhu, or the Great Nine Lakes. Dajiuhu is thus known for its 'highland plain' beauty and is referred to as Hubei's 'Hulun Buir' or 'Shennong's Jiangnan.' Surrounded by mountains, the scenery is stunning, resembling a paradise on earth.
The Dajiuhu ecosystem is special and typical, with a variety of wetland types. It is a national-level natural wetland park and has been included in the list of internationally important wetlands.

Day2~
👉Dajiuhu (highly recommended 🌟, the snow scene is no less than Changbai Mountain, you can get off the sightseeing bus at all nine lakes, the first 2-6 lakes are beautiful, feed the deer at the end station, they are not afraid of people and cooperate very well)
👉Shennongding Primitive Forest (There is a botanical research station of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the mountain, and there are many Bigfoot Yeren sighting points along the mountain road. I saw a 400-year-old Bashan fir, which was born when Xu Xiake just started to travel around the world from Ningbo.)

【📷About the machine position】
1. Dajiuhu is very out of the picture everywhere, the snow scene is absolutely! Come to be the heroine of the Japanese drama "Love Letter".
2. The panda will come out to move before 10 o'clock in the morning, and you can take a photo outdoors at this time, so be sure to arrive early.
3. The small path in the forest below the altar after checking in is very artistic and very out of the picture.
4. If you are lucky at Tiansheng Bridge, you can see the rainbow waterfall, I saw it this time!
【🌟About tips】
1. December-February is the skiing season of Shennongjia, there are several ski resorts here.
2. Walking in the snow for a long time really hurts your eyes. Snow blindness comes like this, you can bring a pair of snow glasses/sunglasses.
3. There are many signs in the mountains and waters that say poisonous snakes, bears, wild boars, and leopards are infested. Please pay attention to safety. It's very intimate. I hope they can also understand the signs and understand some social distancing and civilized travel😄.
【🍚About food】"South Gate Farm" farmhouse stir-fry, beef and small mixed fish stir-fry is so fragrant!
【🏠About accommodation】Dajiuhu Hanjiangyuan Hotel

Like an ink painting, the Dajiuhu Lake.
It is said that the Yan Emperor Shennong set up nine pots to refine medicine in Dajiuhu Lake, which later transformed into nine lakes.
Dajiuhu Lake is a scenic spot near Pingqian Town in Shennongjia, it is natural and one of the few watersheds that divide the north-south climate with lakes. The water from the nine lakes flows into the Yangtze River in the south and the Han River in the north. In today's South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the water from Dajiuhu Lake supplies Beijing and Tianjin.
