More than 400 people claim to have seen a Bigfoot-like
creature among the lush vegetation of Shennongjia over the past century, yet no
hard evidence has been found to prove the "yeti's" existence.
The 3,200-square-kilometer nature reserve also purports to
be “the only well-preserved sub-tropical forest ecosystem in the world's
mid-latitudes,” with more than 5,000 species of animals and plants.
It’s home to snub-nosed or golden monkeys (金丝猴), a rare and
protected species in China.
Admission: RMB 100
Wuhan is the nearest major city and traffic hub to
Shennongjia. From Wuhan's long-distance bus station at Xinhua Lu, take the
daily coach to Xingshan County (兴山县). Then transfer to a mini-bus from Xingshan to Shennongjia.
