Nestled within the scenic expanse of Dajiuhu, the Deer Sanctuary stands as a haven for a thriving population of sika deer.

Hongping Gallery (Shennong Sky ladder)

Positioned northwest of the Shennongjia Forest District and in proximity to Hongping Town, the Hongping Gallery, also known as Shennong Sky Ladder, is a breathtaking canyon nestled within the pristine wilderness. Stretching approximately 15 kilometers from Changshanba to the magnificent Hongqiyan, the gallery features crystal-clear streams and lush vegetation, forming a natural forest oxygen bar. With a considerable depth, visitors can tailor their exploration based on personal preferences, determining the duration and distance of their journey through this enchanting landscape.

Local Folk Customs

The inhabitants of Shennongjia, predominantly farmers, have a common habit of smoking, especially with their homegrown tobacco known as “dry tobacco.” Nearly every local farmer possesses a roughly one-meter-long tobacco pipe, and each household has a “fire pit.” Sitting by the fire pit, smoking becomes exceptionally convenient. When leaving the pit, they extinguish the matchstick on the tobacco pot. Some tobacco pots even have a protruding sharp angle, serving as a makeshift cane when venturing outdoors. This cultural practice offers a glimpse into the daily lives and traditions of the locals, providing a unique and immersive experience for visitors to Shennongjia.
