Winter Serenity and Contemplations over Life

Nature-made beautiful scenery

In the winter season, over the layers of rolling mountains, the misty clouds fade away from their rims portrayed in a gouache. The winding mountain road is like an icy dragon. The ice crystals of the trees and the snow ridges constitute this jade world. When you step into it, you can feel quietness both in the vague distance and in the limpid vicinity, and any random glimpse will bring you fascinating beauty.

When northern China is covered in snow and ice, Shennongjia is transparent, and some plants here still remain green and red. All the colors are still bright, and some are even more splendid. When it snows, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey becomes the most beautiful animal. Under the white snow, the monkeys look dazzling and intoxicating.

The beautiful realm of sky, snow, mountain, and forest is filled with a cosmic spirit, demonstrating the magic and grandeur of heaven and earth, and it makes you feel quite small suddenly. This world seems like an earthly heaven, and the people in it would just relax and calm down.

Younger people have different ways of amusing themselves. In silver-covered Shennongjia, besides snowmen making and snowball fighting, the largest, highest natural alpine ski resort lies here, which boasts best snow quality and excellent facilities. You can ride on a sled to challenge your courage; or you can bring a camera with you and go together with a ranger to the snowfield, trying to find traces of wild animals. Maybe you would just like to stand before the window; looking out into the translucent elegance snow world while the flakes are falling slightly, you may admire the nobility of its purity. And don't forget to brew a pot of good tea with snow water and cook delicious dishes with extremely cold ingredients. Waiting for spring quietly is also a state of mind, lifting you to a romantic realm.

 According to Professor Zhan Yahua, Shennongjia is an ideal and suitable place for healthy living. Some experts are even researching the suitability of certain groups of people and the "best" season for them for their healthy vacation in Shennongjia. The research aims to link modern healthy resources and knowledge with Chinese medicine theory, so as to benefit more people.
