Originating in the mysterious Shennongjia Primeval Forest in the Hubei Province, the Shennong Stream in Badong County rushes for 60 kilometers (37 miles) through the hills and gorges until it is finally embraced by the Yangtze River. This makes the boating on the crystal clear waters of the Shennong Stream one of the most exciting and must do attraction of the Yangtze River Cruise.
