Shennongding Scenic Area, located in the southwest of Shennongjia Forest Area, is the quintessential scenic spot in Shennongjia Forest Area. There is a saying among the locals that "if you haven't come to Shennongjia, you haven't come to Shennongjia". Therefore, tourists who come to the Shennongjia forest area generally regard this place as a must-see in the entire forest area. Here is the highest peak in central China, and you can also see the rare animal golden monkey. The whole scenic spot is a huge forest oxygen bar with lush vegetation and gurgling streams.

Most tourists (especially self-guided tourists without cars) start from Muyu Town in the forest area to visit Shennongding Scenic Area. Muyu Town is the southern gate of the forest area and an important tourist reception town, about 50 kilometers away from Songbai Town, where the government of the forest area is located in the north. There are better food and accommodation conditions here. Many tourists stay here for one night before going to the scenic spot, or return to Muyu Town for one night after spending a day in the scenic spot.    

The area of ​​the scenic spot is large and there are many scenic spots. When tourists are playing, they can reasonably allocate time and determine the attractions according to their actual situation. Each scenic spot in the scenic area also has its own characteristics: Xiaolongtan is the base camp of the savage expedition team; Jinhouling is the place where golden monkeys live, and there are often small monkeys; Shennong Valley and Taiziya are full of the natural atmosphere and mystery of virgin forests; Rock is a stone forest in Shennongjia virgin forest; and the watchtower is the highest point that ordinary tourists can reach in Shennongjia forest area. From here, you can look at the "first peak in Central China" on the opposite side - Shennongding at an altitude of 3105 meters.

The real Shennongding requires a professional expedition team to climb the mountain. It is recommended that most tourists go to the observation tower and look at the first peak in Central China. Except for tourists, the scenic area is almost a primitive area with few people. It is very necessary for self-guided tourists to bring their own dry food and drinking water. There are very few places to provide food in the scenic area.

After visiting the Shennongding Scenic Spot, some tourists will leave the scenic spot from the west gate and go to Dajiuhu National Wetland Park (tickets purchased separately) to play (stay in Dajiuhu Town by the lake that day).
