Shennongjia Guanmenshan Guide, Popular Check-in Spot

Shennongjia is vast, beyond imagination, with interwoven mountains and forests, offering endless scenery. Many scenic spots can be explored for a whole day. Besides the iconic attractions, there are winding paths and deep forests. Among them, I think the most fun is Guanmenshan, which is simply a paradise for family trips and the origin of many popular cover photos. If you take your time, you can spend most of the day here. Guanmenshan is very close to Muyu Town. It is a popular science tourism area focusing on ecology, scientific research, and cultural displays. The scenic area is like a natural museum, with various exhibition halls distributed throughout the mountain and water scenery. Visitors can not only hike in the mountains and waters but also visit each categorized exhibition hall to learn and appreciate. Among them, the Bee Garden is the most popular. The dense beehives are set on the cliffs, making it the best background for portrait photography. Driving in from the main entrance, you will pass by the beehive cliffs, which are usually crowded with people taking photos, especially on weekends. When taking photos, you should also be careful as bees frequently come and go from the hives. Most of the themed halls are relatively concentrated. You can hike along the small river, exploring as you go, for example, walking down from the Giant Salamander Hall to the Folk Museum, Biology Museum, Popular Science Museum, Giant Panda Hall, etc. You can enjoy the scenery while viewing various exhibits, which is very interesting and relaxing. In addition, there are also the Rare Plant Garden, Geological Museum, and the most popular Wild Man Scientific Expedition Hall, among others. There are more than a dozen exhibition halls. The main entrance of the scenic area is an important check-in spot. The sculpture on the gate is of a wild man mother and child kissing, named 'Mother's Love.' With the backdrop of the dense forest in the valley, its theme leaves a deeper impression. Our love is the lifeblood of nature.
