The world's large mammal species have all been thoroughly searched by humans, with no new species discovered, let alone large creatures like wild men. Some believe in the possibility of the existence of wild men, arguing that reports of wild men from around the world cannot be entirely dismissed as unfounded rumors. The fact that we have not yet found them does not rule out their existence. So, the question arises, do these mysterious wild men really exist? With these doubts and curiosities, let's discuss today the stories about Shennongjia. Shennongjia is the abbreviation for the Shennongjia Forest District, which is the only administrative region in China named after a forest area.

Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the remote Shennongjia area in the northwestern part of Hubei Province suddenly attracted the attention of the national and even international biological community. The reason was that five local officials claimed to have found traces of the legendary 'wild man' near Shennongjia—this creature, long rumored among the local mountain people, is said to have black hair with a hint of red, round eyes, a wide mouth, swift movements, and to be extremely ferocious.

I always thought Shennongjia was a scenic spot, but it wasn't until I came to Shennongjia that I realized it was a place name. Shennongjia has many attractions, one of which is the Shennong Altar, the place where Shennong is worshipped. Why is it called Shennongjia? Because it's the place where Shennong built a rack to collect herbs. The Shennong Altar is a place where the Yan Emperor Shennong is worshipped. The scenic area has attractions such as the Thousand-Year-Old Fir King, Shennong Herbal Garden, Shennong Tea Garden, Shennong Sacrificial Garden, and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Garden. When climbing the Shennong Altar, it is generally up on the right and down on the left, and it is said that praying for blessings is very effective. 📍Address: Shennong Altar, Muyu Town, Shennongjia Forest District, Hubei Province 🚗Transportation: Xingshan Station by bullet train, then drive or take a taxi for about an hour 🎫Ticket: 55 yuan Shennongjia·Hubei
