Tianyan Tourist Area (Tianyan Scenic Area), located in the northwest of Shennongjia Forest Area, is one of the important scenic spots in the forest area. National Highway 209 runs through the entire tourist area in the north-south direction. If you are a self-driving tourist, you can reach the tourist area by driving along National Highway 209. Like other tourist areas in the Shennongjia forest area, the area here is very large, with two entrances, the south and the north, both of which are close to National Highway 209, more than ten kilometers apart. The south entrance is close to the Tianmenya Scenic Area in the tourist area, and the north entrance is close to the Yanziya Scenic Area in the tourist area. The two scenic spots can be visited together on foot along the highway or mountain plank road (self-driving tourists can drive in). The tourist area is also named because of these two main scenic spots.

Tianmenya scenic spot is about 2,000 meters above sea level. If you start from Muyu Town and visit from south to north, Tianmenya scenic spot is the first stop of the entire Tianyan tourist area. There is a "humanoid animal museum" at the entrance of the scenic spot. You can see some introductions about "animals shaped like people", such as: mandrills, mountain ghosts, human bears and other creatures similar to "savages". There are lush vegetation and various plants growing in the scenic area. It is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, but on a sunny day after a heavy rain, you can see the magnificent sea of ​​clouds here, but this kind of spectacular scenery is rare.

The Yanziya Scenic Spot at the entrance of the North Gate has a larger area than Tianmenya Scenic Spot, and there are more scenic spots in the scenic spot, including: Savage Cave, Swallow Cave, Rhino Cave, Rainbow Bridge and other major scenic spots. It is the core scenic spot of Tianyan Tourist Area . Although it is said that no savages can be seen in the savage cave in the scenic area, but in the swallow cave, you can still see the variant of the ancient marine swiftlet - the short-billed swiftlet. The cave is very deep and dark, so tourists need to take their own Bring a flashlight so you can see swiftlets.

In Yanziya Scenic Area, there is also an all-steel structure viewing bridge lying on both sides of the pass—Rainbow Bridge. This steel bridge is currently the highest-altitude landscape bridge in Asia, and it is a landmark scenic spot in Tianyan Tourist Area. When you climb the bridge deck, you will see an endless virgin forest in front of you. Boxwood, rock cypress, fir and other trees are extremely beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds. There are mountain roads and plank roads on both sides of the pass, and you can visit the entire scenic spot along these roads.

The entire Tianyan tourist area is very large, especially for tourists who do not have a self-driving car or chartered car (chartered car fee in Shennongjia Linlin District: 300-500 yuan/day), it is relatively hard to travel. Tourists can selectively visit the scenic spots and scenic spots in the tourist area according to their own conditions. If they can only choose some scenic spots to visit, it is recommended to choose Yanziya scenic spot.

From December to January of the next year, due to the snow, the regular scenic spots in the Tianyan Tourist Area will be temporarily closed. At this time, the Tianyan Ski Resort in the tourist area will be open. A few kilometers south of the tourist area is the Hongping Gallery. Although this attraction is within the scope of the tourist area, additional tickets are required. There is no accommodation and catering services in Tianyan Tourist Area, and tourists need to bring their own drinking water and dry food.
