| A Frozen Adventure for Southerners
Hey guys, today I'm sharing a super detailed guide to playing in the snow in Shennongjia. Save it for later!
🏠Accommodation
I highly recommend the Kangdi Junlan Hotel in Muyu Town. It's located in the town center, has great heating, and is super convenient for dining and shopping. They even provide baby toothbrushes and slippers, so traveling with kids is a breeze.
🎿Ski Resorts
If you're bringing kids or are a beginner, head to Zhonghe Ski Resort. The slopes are gentle, the snow is soft, and falling doesn't hurt. The resort offers children's ski equipment for sizes 28 and up. I suggest renting ski clothes in Muyu Town for CNY 50–80. They're clean and affordable. Don't rent at the resort; it's expensive and smelly.
🌟Attractions
✨Shennong Peak: The snowy forest and ice waterfalls are stunning, and you might even spot golden monkeys. Remember to bring a telephoto lens to capture these cuties.
✨Dajiu Lake: After snow, it looks like a fairy tale world, but the scenery is less impressive without snow. Remember to get free hot water at Lake No. 5. There's no food in the scenic area, so eat your fill in Pingqian Town beforehand.
✨Guanmenshan: You can see giant pandas and other rare animals, which kids love.
✨Shennong Altar: Learn about Shennong culture and gain some knowledge.
🍱Food
You must try Shennong potatoes, cured pork rib hot pot, cold water fish, and hot roasted sweet potatoes and sugar-fried chestnuts. They're delicious.
🚗Transportation
For external transportation, take a high-speed train to Xingshan Station, then transfer to a bus or carpool to Muyu Town. You can also transfer in Yichang. For internal transportation, Muyu Town has buses to various scenic spots. You can book a ride to the ski resort on the "Shennongjia Scenic Area" WeChat account. It's super convenient.
📅Recommended Travel Time
Late December to February is the snow season, and it snows frequently in January, so you can see snowflakes falling.
⚠Notes
The roads are slippery, so don't drive if you have no experience driving in snow. The scenic area is at a high altitude, so keep warm and prevent altitude sickness. Prepare enough warm clothes for your kids. When skiing, be sure to find a professional coach and wear protective gear. Safety first.
Guys, the snow scenery in Shennongjia is breathtaking. Bring your family and friends to experience the charm of this snowy world!
