It is said that in ancient times, Shennong (Emperor Yan) once tasted all kinds of herbs here to cure diseases for the people. Due to the steepness of Qianfeng Peak, precious medicinal herbs grew on the cliffs of the peaks. The Shennong family cut down trees and set up structures on the top, collected medicinal herbs, and saved the lives of the people. Shennongjia got its name from this. The highest peak in Shennongjia, Shennongding, is 3105.4 meters above sea level, the lowest point is 398 meters above sea level, and the square altitude is 1700 meters. There are 6 peaks above 3000 meters, which is known as the "Roof of Central China". Shennongjia is rich in wild plants, such as Davidia involucrata, metasequoia, fragrant tree, fragrant tree, ginkgo, Thoreau, yew, etc. Shennongjia is also a natural herbal garden, with 2013 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, such as "a bead on the head", "a bowl of water by the river", "a flower with seven leaves", "a branch of King Wen", Gastrodia elata, Codonopsis pilosula, Angelica sinensis, etc. .
