🚗 5-day 4-night itinerary:
Day❶: Shennongjia - Tianyan Scenic Area - Shennong Tianchi (stay at Shennong Tianchi)
✔Tianyan Scenic Area: 2-3 hour hike, Rainbow Bridge is quite high - caution for those with acrophobia
✔Shennong Tianchi: Must stay overnight in Nordic cabins! Experienced the waterfront stargazing villa this time - stargazing right from the room! Next day hike and see the Millennium Fir King for a slow-paced vacation🍃

Day❷: Tiansheng Bridge - Shennong Altar - Guanmen Mountain (stay at Shennong Hotel)
✔Tiansheng Bridge: Impressive waterfall but full hike not recommended as later views are mediocre
✔Shennong Altar: One of only two national sacrificial sites in China - climbing can be tiring
✔Guanmen Mountain: Beehive Wall right by the road - easy photo stop

Day❸: Shennong Peak - Dajiuhu Lake - Dangyang Grand Canyon - Dachang Ancient Town (stay in Wushan County)
✔Shennong Peak: Includes multiple spots👇
【Shennong Valley】Mysterious valley views
【Observation Tower】Hubei's "Little Xinjiang" overlooking primeval forest
【Skyline Ridge】Alpine meadow boardwalk with incredible cloud seas
【Banbiyan】Hike to see bizarre rock formations
✔Dajiuhu Lake: Wetland lakes perfect for morning mist views

Day❹: Goddess Peak - Goddess Love Sky Road - Zhaojun Villa (stay at Zhaojun Villa)
✔Goddess Peak: Wushan's landmark with breathtaking layered peaks⛰
✔Goddess Love Sky Road: 12km route with landscape like ink paintings

Day❺: Water Highway - Zhaojun Village - Chaotianhou Rafting - Return
✔Zhaojun Village: Idyllic ancient village blending natural beauty with cultural heritage about Wang Zhaojun's history
✔Chaotianhou Rafting: Magnificent waterfalls, alpine meadows, dreamy cabins - absolutely love it! Especially the canyon rafting (1+ hour). Summer offers night rafting and cave rafting - planning to return with family!
