Shennong Mountain, located at the foot of Taihang Mountain in Qinyang City, is named for Emperor Yan Shennong's legendary story of distinguishing grains and tasting herbs. As one of the first world geological parks, it holds significance in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. The mountain's stunning natural beauty features the Longji Great Wall, with its dragon-like ridge of nine peaks. Rich in biodiversity, it is home to the "Sihuai Medicines" and the rare dragon scale pine. The Taihang macaque, a protected species, also thrives here. Historically, Shennong Mountain is a cultural treasure, with sites like Jingying Temple, the birthplace of the Shangqing School of Taoism. It offers a unique blend of fitness, cultural, and spiritual experiences for visitors.

Whether you asked for directions or transportation, they explained things very clearly, even if you might not understand. Such a beautiful mountain scenic area, I'm so sorry I arrived too late. The people of Henan are so kind and hospitable; I've been here for half a month and still haven't left!
