Seasonal Shennongjia

Over a long history, Shennongjia has never lost her charm. She is entrenched in the hot subtropical zone, but not exposed to heat all year round. She lives in the warm south, but enjoys the beauty of frost and snow from the north. The charm of all seasons appears in the arrays of mountains, where clear waters flow incessantly and the steaming aura gestates all kinds of plants. This is a land of mountains and treasures. As a poem depicts, "Summer at mountain foot while spring in the mountains; autumn on the mountain while winter ice is on top. These mountains wear rich colors in the four seasons, any of which are hard to tell apart."
