    "It is worth going here, and each mountain has its own beauty and magnificence. The west is the most relaxed. Suitable for the elderly with children, but you can walk all over the mountain in the west and north. If you have the opportunity to try the north and west. Worth two brushes. Although it will climb and cry."

    "Shennongjia during the Qingming Festival holiday, the weather was still a bit cold, and it rained a little when I arrived at Shenlongding. The temperature dropped to one or two degrees. Fortunately, I brought thick clothes in advance. The scenic spot is very large. The developed scenic spots are only a small part. The scenic spots are scattered and suitable for self-driving. The natural scenery is very beautiful. Worth a visit."

    "There are still a lot of people coming on May Day. 3 people asked for an explanation of 50 yuan. It takes 40 minutes to explain the history of Baima Temple and the Buddha statues in each temple. The scenic spot is very small, there is an international temple group on the west side, and all of them are turned for up to 2 hours. Tickets must be bought on the public account. If you drive there, you usually park in the newly built parking lot on the south side of the scenic spot. There are many parking spaces. The tourist service center is also in the No. 1 parking lot. However, after parking, you have to walk about 1 km north to get to the entrance of the scenic spot. You can take the scenic battery car to and from the scenic spot. 10 yuan/person round trip."

    "If you want to take a boat, you can go for three hours. Hahahahaha is too worth it. There have never been an attraction that can take such a long boat. I took an hour of bus first. There are hanging coffins on both sides. The scenery is also good. The fare is very worth it."

    "If you have good physical strength, you can play from the back. If you don’t want to go too much, it’s better to play from the back. The front scenery is better than the back. We took the car to the last attraction to play. I can’t walk to the back. The first attraction did not go."
